The Week in Geek: Sept. 28, 2012

You may have added pumpkin spice to everything you’re eating and drinking, but I’ve got some geeky spice to add to your weekend! (Not my strongest opener,  I’ll grant you. I just got back from the dentist. I’m traumatized; cut me some slack!) Edgar Wright screened test footage for his finally confirmed Ant-Man. Thanks to talented Deviantartist Samurai Jack, who [...]

Kerrith Johnson Makes Us “Believe” in Superheroes

Illustrator Kerrith Johnson wants to use art to remove obstacles to cultural understanding. It’s a pretty giant take for pen and ink and pixels. But his recently viral “Believe Series” has inspired, excited, and seems to prove that the artist’s reach doesn’t exceed his grasp. Taking up where the tagline for the movie Superman left off, “Believe a man can [...]

The Week in Geek: August 10, 2012

I’ve slogged through all the cats on the Internet to find you the best, cat-free stuff around. Here’s what happened this week. You’re welcome. Like a flipping boss in a bad action movie, Mars rover Curiosity emerged from the 7 minutes of terror (that it only had a 30 percent chance of surviving) and made a cheeky quip. Bill Nye [...]

The Week in Geek: June 8, 2012

This week I come equipped with more links and fewer images. So, join me on a journey around the week that was! Pioneering science fiction author Ray Bradbury died Tuesday at 91. In his honor, pull your high school copy of “Fahrenheit 451″ off the shelf and pull up a patch of grass this weekend. The E3 conference this week [...]

Nothing In The News Matters [Things I'm Still Bitter About]

I’m in a pretty foul mood today. I’ve been sick this week, I have about a million things to read, and I hate formatting resumes. Blah blah blah. Why should you care? Because what I’m trying to say is I’m busy, and I just don’t have the time or will to slog through 30 news stories. Most of what you [...]

The Social Network

If you’re a fan of The Hunger Games (I have mixed feelings, myself) you might be aware that some nasty people tweeted their indignation that Rue was played by a black actress. For a minute, let’s set aside the fact that Rue is described as black in the book, and jump right into the more glaring stupidity at work here: [...]

Why I’m Buying a PS Vita and Why it Will Fail

This week, I hope to be an early adopter of yet another video game system. The Playstation Vita, or PS Vita for short, will be launching to 1st edition buyers today. The handheld system marks Sony’s first real 2nd generation handheld (Sorry, PSPGo, but you never really counted for anything). What does this mean for the gaming industry? Probably not [...]

Geek Out on Twitter

I oversee the social media for a local university. I bet if you’re savvy enough with The Google (or even this website), you’ll be able to figure out which one. One of my duties is to run the university’s official Twitter account, or logo account as some may call it. There are tons of handles associated with different schools, colleges [...]
