Here's to Five years and to many more.
Thank you guys for sticking with us and continuing to believe in us. We Love You guys

Special Guest Spot: All Geeks Considered: Film Noir

Xan had some free time when editing with Demona so he did a guest spot for " All Geeks Considered  Podcast" a podcast about all things geek
starring Vinny Averello and Diego Montalban

So sit back and enjoy as Vinnie, Diego and Xan talk about three films about Film Noir;  The Maltese Falcon, Strangers on a Train and Brick

Well, It is what it is....

So it looks like Xan is going to have a lot more time to do the podcast. Things happen for a reason and hopefully another opportunity to work in the Graphic design field will make itself available. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right...
Time for Xan to get drunk
