Keep a detailed family history with you at all times so you don’t end up accidentally frenching a blood relative or twelve without realizing it.

Do not kill, maim, or otherwise incapacitate famous historical figures and try to take their place. Someone else will have to come along and fix what you did, and no one is impressed with a copycat. Not to mention that, given eternity, it’s likely some other copycat will get the same idea and try to bump you off to steal that moment?

Make a preparation capsule before you leave. Dig up a random spot somewhere in the area you plan to visit. Should you become stranded, detail your plight and bury it in the most resilient container you can find, in the exact same spot you dug up before your journey. If all goes according to plan, when you dig the hole before you leave, you will find a note from yourself telling you what happened, or rather, what will happen. Take any necessary precautions against what is detailed in your note. Remember: This only works if you’re going to visit the past.

Ensure your time machine is powered by something you have easy access to. It’s not the best of ideas to use a time machine that’s powered by anything weird, like Jupiterium or cats.

Don’t lose anything. This includes people. It’s not smart to let primitives get their grubby mitts on a smart phone a thousand years before they’re invented.

Inform people of precisely when you’ll be returning. If you tell your friends you’re going to pop into prehistoric times for a quick jog with a triceratops herd, confirm 100 percent that they know you plan to return at 12:45:00 a.m. on January 13, 2560. If your pretty little tushie doesn’t show up, then they will know something is amiss and come looking for you.

Don’t die. Getting killed at the wrong time can really mess up history and your day.

While traveling through time like the mad scientist you are, be careful you don’t monkey around too much while you’re flying through the past and future. You could accidentally cause history to unravel, collapse time and space itself, or, even worse, create a horrible alternate timeline with really sucky movies.

In this chapter, we’ve covered superpowers, fantastic worlds, mad science, and more, all tying back to that common theme of being things geeks fantasize about. The wonderful thing about being a proactive geek is that we don’t have to contend ourselves to sit around dreaming about these things — we can create them for ourselves.
