But yeah, in-jokes are the weakest form of humor. Instead of being outrageous, counter-intuitive, clever or weird or any of the other things a joke can be, they're just sort of comforting. In fact, they're like the oatmeal of humor. They're warm and familiar and have the same consistency all the way down. Your spoon can stand straight up in a bowl of in-jokes.I couldn't have put it better! What do you think?

Science fiction in-jokes just aren’t funny any more

David Tennant is going to get married to daughter of former Doctor Who...
... who also, in a very complicated way also played Doctor Who, causing thus the (geek girls) universe to explode.
This is going to get complicated, so bear with me!
David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor, is going to marry Georgia Moffet, who is the daughter of Peter Davidson, who was the Fifth Doctor. Nice, isn't it? But no, it gets messier!
She also played the Doctor's daughter, which was a clone of the Doctor, making her sort of 10 and 1/2 Doctor.
Bonus round, anyone can name who her mother is and what made her (geek) famous? Leave it in the comments and win geek cred.

Noise du Jour: HIFANA & 石川直 at DRUM MAGAZINE FESTIVAL 2010
From their wikipedia page:
Hifana (ハイファナ Haifana?, "South Winds" in the Okinawan dialect) is a Japanese breakbeat musical duo, composed of KEIZOmachine! (Keizo Fukuda) and Juicy (Jun Miyata). The group formed in 1998, in the Tokyo neighbourhood of Kichijōji.Sadly I japanese is quite rusty now a days, so I don't now the name of the guy on the drums, apart from the squintingly letters 石川直.
Oh, and a the instrument their playing at the end is an Asalato, pretty nifty stuff.

Geek du Jour - The Last Story for the Wii
Yes, now i have a Wii, so i am allowed to be excited for this:
Take a wild guess as to whom made this tasty pie of a JRPG? I see a hand in the hair...
Yes, it's Hironobu Sakaguchi at the helm! And no less than Nobuo Uematsu handling the musical duties.
After the flying crap monsters that were the last Final Fantasy is good to know that there are still good RPGs being made in Japan.
Just a little a problem...Last Story?! Could you be more obvious?
