Tomorrow’s the premiere of Beauty and the Geek, season three. Several million people will watch me, and judge me. A sobering thought.
I’m spending my last day before fake-stardom at the International Spy Museum, in Washington, D.C. I’m excited! I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time, but never actually got around to it. I hear you get to crawl through ventilation ducts, there’s peepholes so you can spy on the people in the restaurant below, and all sorts of James Bond-style gadgetry that was actually used at the height of the Cold War.
Examine over 200 spy gadgets, weapons, bugs, cameras, vehicles, and technologies. Learn about microdots and invisible ink, buttonhole cameras and submarine recording systems, bugs of all sizes and kinds, and ingenious disguise techniques developed by Hollywood for the CIA.
This is going to be so sweet.

hey niel,
my name is dynamo…and i’m from miami, fl. i ran across a video of you on youtube and decided to check out your web-site and send you a comment before you let the fame of being a geek get to your head.
seriously though, i really empathize with people that are introspective enough to pursue happiness. i just saw that will smith movie “the pursuit of happyness” and it kind of spoke to me about my own personal journey of discovery. at first it was about girls and fueling my male ego, but since then it has become about so much more…it’s crazy how life works out.
sometimes we are given a set of values and an idea of what the ingredients should be to the pie we call our lives, and we get so busy baking it, we don’t stop to realize….damn, i really don’t like the filling!
this post is making me hungry. anyway dude, it’s good to see guys like us staying true to ourselves and i just wanted to send a shot out to you.

so, how was the museum?
The museum was one of the best museums I’ve been to in a long time. Perhaps even worth a separate post. The website says to budget 2 hours, but I was there for 4 and still had to rush through the second half to get back before my parking meter expired.
