While recording the Sci-Fi Cast with Ged the other day, he said something that struck me. We were talking about JJ Abrams‘ plans for the upcoming Star Trek movie. Specifically, he wants use it to make hope hip again. To make positivity cool.
That sounds good, doesn’t it?
There is a tendency on the web, especially the tech web, towards snarky sarcasm. I perpetuated it for a while, but I’m done now. There’s enough negativity in the world.
Now, before you say I’m burying my head in the sand, I’ll tell you that I’m not. I know there are unpleasant things in the world. I just chose not to dwell on them.
So, expect to read the “good news” here at hardcore geek. Thanks for reading.

“With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, ‘Studs, you’re an optimist.’ I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what’s the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.”
