This list gets originality points for Iago coming in at #3, Claudius at #5 and Edmund #8.  Guess who #1 and # 2 are?

Today I’m wearing my Geek “mechanics” shirt, with the normal name patch over the left chest pocket reading “Geek.”  At work I’ve always gotten amused compliments, entirely from people who obviously know me and get it. Today I’m at the gas station filling up, and the attendant says, “Why does your shirt say Geek on it like that?” ….how do you answer that, briefly? I told him, “It’s a computer thing.”  I don’t expect he cared for a longer philosophical debate. UPDATE: Oops, I totally intended that post to go to my other, computer-specific blog.  I was going to delete this one for having no Shakespeare content, but then I figure it’s got Geek content, so it half counts 🙂

 http://www.scovillefilm.com/ I don’t know much about Alexander Abela’s Macbeth adaptation, Makibefo.  If I understand correctly, the director chose to make a silent film, focusing instead on the “language of pictures”, attempting to capture the essence of Shakespeare’s words entirely within the film’s imagery. He’s also working on (completed?) an Othello adaptation as well.
