Geek Space: The Top Shelf Behind Me

Geek Space The Top Shelf Behind Me

I haven’t done a Geek Space post in a while, and while the “Two Bakshi Walls” post is in this house and this office, to be specific, the last time I wrote about a shelf, it was back in my previous living space.

So I decided that I would focus on the shelf that is literally behind me when I sit at my desk to write, podcast, edit, work, all of the things. This shelf is pretty cool, though I’m in front of it and it isn’t seen much. This post will change all of that.

Three Riders Reach or Surpass Merkx Records and More from the 2021 Tour de France

Tour de France 2020 Recap

184 riders took off from Brest on June 26th to start the 2021 edition of the Tour de France. Three weeks later, 141 riders took the start to complete the Tour in Paris on the Champs-Elysees.

What took place during the stages in-between, may not have been unprecedented, but it certainly was compelling. Here is my recap of the 5 most important takeaways from this year’s race.

Love and Peace: Five music documentaries that make me love the 1960s

Peace Love and Music Documentaries

Not all documentaries are created equal. Some are out to prove a point, others hope to make you think, and even more are out to entertain, uncover, or educate. Music documentaries do a lot of those things, except they obviously tend to have music.

In having said music, the talking heads are commonly musicians or fans, and even the most serious music documentary has some light moments of laughter.

The A to Z Files

Agent Carters A to Z Movie List

Agent Carter’s A to Z List of Movies

Greetings readers of AgentPalmer.com, I am back to share another list with you. This time it’s an A to Z list of my favorite movies. This list is not the end all be all of my favorite movies, and in some cases, certain movies may be my favorite now but may not stay my favorite. Tastes change, and with the media machine churning out new films constantly (even if it may have slowed down for the moment) it’s inevitable. So let’s get into it, shall we?

Is there such a thing as too much Africa? Africa by 33 Various Artists besides Toto.

Africa by Toto and Many Many others

Recorded in 1981 and released on September 30, 1982 as the third single on Toto’s fourth studio album Toto IV, “Africa,” has gone from hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1983 to its current place in popular culture as a meme. Not being lost but being beloved during the course of that journey.

Now, I’ll admit that a friend of mine who remains steadfast that Hold the Line is the better song, which I respectfully disagree with, because it’s more of the I don’t want to go with the crowd pick.
