Top Nerdy 10: News Bites (09.01.16)

A moment of full disclosure, if you don’t mind. It’s been a tough couple of weeks, and when things get tough I like to escape into the positive news throughout the week. I love hearing about new developments in the nerd realm and really helps me take mini vacations through the week. We all find ways to escape reality, this just happens to be mine.

Without further ado, let’s hit it!

1. Gene Wilder

2016 has been a difficult year and we’ve lost many legends. Gene Wilder will always be my Wonka, I will always adore Blazing Saddles, and whenever “Puttin’ On The Ritz” comes on my 80’s station, I will think of Young Frankenstein.

Let me know what you’re excited about this week that I did or didn’t include in the bites below.
