Girl Geek Gets Her Due!
2009-11-17 22:27:00 ShareFor those of you who don't know, GeekGirlDiva is one of the coolest gals you'll ever meet. She describes herself as a "World of Warcraft addict, Star Wars fangirl, music fanatic and all around Geek Girl." As a 'affiliate diva' for on-line geek superstore Entertainment Earth, she maintains a blog and tweets regularly about all things in nerd-dom. (I once scored a great deal on a Luke Skywalker 'animated-series' style macquette thanks to one of her tweets!) I first made her acquaintance back when the "Boobie Wednesday" Twitter trend got started and we've been brother-and-sister-in-arms ever since. Well, now the girl's done good and gotten some well-deserved recognition!:Entertainment Earth Gets It - Girls Are Geeks, Too!Online Retailer's "Geek Girl...
Geek To Me Tech: Kodak's Zi8 HD Camera
2009-11-17 04:13:00 I recently returned from a trip to Europe where I got to see the sights in Paris and London. Of course, when you go on such a trip, you want to record as much of the experience as you can. It just so happened that I had a review unit from Kodak of their new Zi8 handheld HD camera sitting in a box for some time, so I thought that I'd take it with me on my trip, put it through its paces and see if it was everything they say it's supposed to be.Kodak Zi8 Camera - photo courtesy Kodak.comWhen you first take it out of the box, you find that the unit is rather sleek and light, but...

2009-08-26 15:49:00 Apollo Robbins (left), Noa Tisby, Wil Wheaton and Griffin Dunne star as the Leverage team's rival crew. TNT photo Wil Wheaton has never called himself the "king of the geeks." But, the former "Star Trek: The Next Generation" star and current writer of the award-winning wilwheaton blog, books, comics, video game plots and @wilw Twitter tweets seems to be quite geeky. "It's a world that I've lived in for most of my life," he said when asked about his tech-awareness.

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 13: The Last Temptation of Affiliate Summit
2009-08-24 19:00:00 Affiliate Marketing Fanatics - A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more! Seriously, I should steal Mike’s login on GeekCast.fm & change it to my name since I’m always doing the post production on AMF! Which is my fault that it’s late - we recorded this on Friday and between actual work and finalizing some big weekend plans involving my high school reunion, I didn’t get this edited until early this morning. We’re probably the last people on Earth to post our recaps of Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York City, but here it is. We’re kind of all over the place this episode, so here’s some of the things I remember talking about. This ramblin’ man of a podcast clocks in at about 54 minutes.

District 9 from a geek's POV
2009-08-16 22:07:00 Something that fans of good science fiction have known for years is that underneath the sheen of alien worlds and extra-dimensional encounters, sci-fi provides a platform for examination of the human condition. Some of the better sci-fi writers, like Robert Heinlein & Philip K. Dick, have taken the tropes of the sci-fi genre, elevating them from their pulpy origins, and have created narratives that have inspired generations to explore ideas and concepts like the essence of humanityand the nature of the universe.Heady stuff, eh?Well, I just saw the new flick District 9 and it was a heady experience indeed. Portaying how an 'alien slum' would come to be on our planet and how it would effect us as a society,...

Freak&Geek, el nuevo webcomic de Esty
2009-07-07 00:43:00 "Blogger y animador 3D", asà se presenta Esty cuando se le pregunta de qué trabaja, cuál es su oficio o profesión. Le pregunto si "animador 3D" es una persona que va a fiestas infantiles y hace globologÃa con un leed, y el MSN queda en blanco sin devolver respuesta. No hay dudas, el tipo del humor es él, no yo. El año pasado, junto a (dentro de) un blog dedicado al sistema operativo Linux, puso a rodar el webcomic Linux vs Windows, donde el pingüino y las ventanitas daban dura batalla. En mayo pasado lo invité a sumarse a Chistes Geeks con algo especial, las consignas fueron claras: que sea semanal, y hacé lo que quieras. Lo que quizo resultó en "Freak&Geek", un webcomic protagonizado por... por dos... por dos "cositos", que atraviesan los submundos geek y freak, haciendo gala de un humor sutilmente absurdo.
