What's Geekin Me Now: The Chippewa Valley Geek's Decade in Review - The 2010s - Ten Terrifying Years

Being deemed an "essential" worker in the midst of a global crisis really gives one cause to stop and think about all the things that are truly important and essential to us in this life.

So -- in an effort to avoid that shit as hard as possible -- I sat down instead and finally finished brainstorming my "best of" list for all the fun and frivolous shit we've enjoyed over the last ten years.
