Geekwriting
From 2005 to 2009, I was the copywriter for the X-treme Geek retail catalog while it was
owned by E-filliate, Inc. While a whole lot of my copy never saw print (editors: do we love
'em or what?), I managed to preserve some of my favorites, completely unadulterated, for display
here. Most of these items are no longer for sale, so some of the pictuers will not be available.
I apologize for any mysterious confusion.
