On Saturday night, Barbarian Group had the post-ROFLcon VIP party at their Newbury Street offices in Boston. Uber-geekiness ruled. Tron Guy was there. iJustine was there. The Jib Jab crew was there. Evan White was there. MC Frontalot was there. Jason Scott was there. Chuck Norris Fact Generator’s Ian Spector was there.

It was like sitting in a high school science lab except every geek was, instead, a star quarterback on the state championship football team.

Barbarian Group, the brains behind Burger King’s Subservient Chicken, Samsung’s AnyFilms and Milwaukee’s Best’s Beer Cannon, served free booze and food to several hundred conference goers who geeked out and collectively invented the next Twitter (and I don’t mean Jaiku and Pownce) without even knowing it.

Tron Guy, aka Jay Maynard, who humorously acknowledges the fact his costume makes him look far less svelte than he might like, had an entire film crew following him around the party. Famous for wearing a freaky costume. Hey, it’s the internet, baby.

Check out all the party geekiness here. Thanks to Nikon for lending us the D60 to shoot these images. It blows away the our other camera, a Casio Exilim.

I’m 65 and my wife had an affair 23 years ago and we survived it—therapy, tears, rebuilding, the whole architecture of repair—and the marriage now is good, genuinely good, but there are still moments when she laughs at her phone and something in my chest tightens for exactly two seconds before I can talk myself down, and those two seconds are the scar’s rent, and it pays on time every single month

Research suggests that people who are willing to accept change as they get older live significantly longer than those who resist it — not because change is healthy but because resistance is expensive and the body pays a biological price for every year spent clenching against a reality it cannot control and that clenching is aging people faster than the change itself ever could
