Comic-Con opened up its online ticket registration today—wait, you don’t know what Comic-Con is? What sort of self-respecting nerd are you?

Comic-Con is a four day event celebrating the best (and most-niche) parts of popular culture. When it began in the 1970’s, the coordinators focused primarily on comic books, sci-fi and fantasy themes, and film and television. Over the decades, though, the convention has expanded to include a larger range of themes and elements, such as horror, anime and manga, video games, toys, collectible card games, and cartoons.

Comic-Con includes the seminars, panels, and workshops that are normally part of the convention format. In addition to those events, there are normally previews of upcoming films, awards ceremonies, an independent film festival, and a costume contest—the number of folks who dress up as their favorite characters to attend this shindig is staggering. If you’re planning on donning such a costume, though,you might want to work some Kevlar into your sailor dress. Some fans can get a little bit wacky.

Tickets can be purchased online through Comic Con’s website. And you can buy passes in single or four-day packages. But you’d better move quickly. The site is already reporting capacity issues, due to traffic on the registration page.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
