Where To Find Real Geeks On The Web
2009-11-08 18:56:00 Geek culture is currently going through the same identity crisis that hacker culture did in the 1980s. This pattern always repeats: first a word identifies a fringe culture, then more and more people start identifying with the fringe culture out of a desire to be "cool," then finally the mainstream takes the word over and the word ceases to mean anything because everybody claims they're it. Take for example, the people who call themselves "geeks" just because they've... seen Star Wars. No, I'm not kidding. Friends 'n' neighbors, it is true that many geeks are also science fiction fans. And Star Wars barely qualifies as science fiction at all - it's actually a shoot-em-up adventure set in space. But how can watching Star Wars make you a geek? The Star Wars franchise is one of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world. It blasted dozens of box office records when it came out, and still does. Currently it's the third-highest-grossing film series in history behind James...
Top Ten Things That Turn Female Geeks Off
2009-11-05 16:00:00 Okay guys, it really comes as no surprise that some male geeks and nerds have a hard time relating to the opposite sex. Heck, that goofy show BIG BANG THEORY makes that a running gag every week! And with this in mind, I Twittered a question to all my female friends "What do fanboys do that really turn you off?" And WOW...did I get a response! So here are the Top Ten responses that I received. (Twitter alias' have been removed to prevent flaming.) Take notes fellas:Read more after the jump!...

Halloween is for Geeks!
2009-10-11 18:09:00 There once was a time when Christmas was my favorite holiday of the year, but as I got older, and the number of presents under the tree with my name on them began to shrink, it was replaced by the one day in the year when adults and kids still had equal footing in the fun department: Halloween.Think about it, outside of a comic-convention or Dragon-Con, All Hallow's Eve is the only time of the year where 'grown-ups' get to dress up in kids costumes, go out in public and not have anyone look at you sideways. So, IMO, Halloween is for Geeks, Nerds and cosplayers of all ages!Which brings me to the subject of costumes and this cool new...

Awwww, Football Geeks You Too!
2009-09-16 21:20:00 Just got back from the library where I was reminded of how irritated I am at the "Geek the Library" ad campaign. It's not just that we have driven the last stake through the heart of any remaining meaning of the word "geek", rather like the media did to the word "hacker" before. It's that whoever did this campaign didn't "geek" parts-of-speech, since "geek" was never an active verb (with the exception of antiquated drug-culture slang meaning roughly 'to snort cocaine'). Ordinarily I'm not such an English nit-picker, but... it's the bloody library!

Video games: Not just for geeks
2009-08-18 04:01:00 Arlette Resendiz and her husband, Joe Adelfio, play video games in their Westmont apartment. Resendiz recently founded the Female Gamers Alliance Network. (Andrew A. Nelles for RedEye)By Alexia Elejalde-RuizArlette Resendiz's love affair with video games began at age 4, when her father brought home a Nintendo Entertainment System and inadvertently introduced her to her first crushes: Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda.Now 25, married and living with her husband and four cats in suburban Westmont, Resendiz said she owns 26 game systems, from an old-school Atari and the original Game Boy to the trifecta of modern gaming: the Nintendo Wii, XBox 360 and PlayStation 3.While other twentysomethings spend drunken nights at bars, Resendiz hosts video game parties at...

Random Musings: FREAKS AND GEEKS, Kris Allen, Disney & More!
2009-07-23 01:08:00 Continuing our trend of highlighting TV that makes us feel really old comes a photo that this TV Addict snapped while watching our latest summer obsession FREAKS AND GEEKS. Can you guess the two big name guest stars that join John Francis Daley’s Sam Weir (on right)? If so, we’re officially impressed. Ways in which you never ever want to start off your day: By being told that you resemble Samm Levine’s Neal Schweiber from FREAKS AND GEEKS. Needless to say, we’ve had better Wednesdays. After Friday’s 90-minute crossover event WIZARDS ON DECK WITH HANNAH MONTANA netted the Disney Channel 9.2 million viewers, making it TV’s top scripted telecast this year among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, any guesses as to how long it will take the marketing mavens at NBC to unveil THE OFFICE ROCKS COMMUNITY? I mean Tobey Maguire we can live with. Heck, we’ve even gotten the occasional Joshua Jackson on a good hair day. But Neal Frakkin’ Schweiber!?!?...

Right Show, Wrong Time: FREAKS & GEEKS Edition
2009-07-21 21:09:00 Everybody knows what makes a hit TV show is ratings, right? But in this continuing series, we examine how today’s most popular shows would have been axed just a few short years ago… and how yesterday’s flops would be topping the charts today! In 1999, Judd Apatow produced an hour-long dramedy for NBC called FREAKS & GEEKS. Chronicling the lives of a not-so-popular group of high school students (played by a gang of then relative unknowns including Linda Cardellini, James Franco, Seth Rogen and Busy Phillips), their teachers and parents, the series was immediately hailed as brilliant by fans and critics alike, (See: Entertainment Weekly who called the show “…one of the most heartfelt and humorous TV shows of the past decade…”) Unfortunately, when your network is the home of ratings juggernauts such as FRIENDS, ER and FRASIER, which at the time still attracted 20+ million viewers an episode, six millions passionate and dedicated fans does not a hit...

Why the Philosophies of Nietzsche and Rand Are Poison To Geeks
2009-02-27 18:04:00 With a title like that, I hope you're not expecting this post to be light reading. I'm also blindly assuming that you have at least a passing familiarity with the concepts of Objectivism and the bermensch. If you aren't familiar with these concepts, you can skip this. I envy your bliss. Now, then. You don't have to be a genius to see the effects that having a high IQ would have on the personality during a young person's development. The very gifted have a hard time fitting into society, which is why they get names like 'nerd' and 'geek' in the first place. They can't find anything in the media that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator, they're bored in class doing work that everyone else is struggling to keep up with, and in social settings they listen to the chatter around them and think, "How can they go on like that? Doesn't it bore them silly?" So in the geek we have the potentially dangerous combination of high intellect and maladjustment. And quite a...

Gua geek, para contratar a geeks
2008-12-02 02:13:00 Imaginen por un momento que estos cuatro geeks son todos informticos, a quien contrataran ustedes? OK, los personajes de The Big Bang Theory son caricaturas, porque nadie es tn geek, cierto? Pero bueno, sigamos con el juego, la idea de este apunte es ser una especie de gua ilustrada a mi post anterior. Veamos el primer candidato: Rajesh Koothappali Hay una razn para sentirme identificado con Rajesh, la que es bastante obvia para el lector frecuente de este blog: el nmero 42 de su gorra, cuando vi la primera vez que la uso no pude dejar de sonreir. Supongo que todos entienden el chiste de esa gorra, no? El gran problema de Rajesh es su incapacidad para hablar con las mujeres, algo que afortunadamente, super hace mucho tiempo, y sin tener que recurrir al alcohol. Rajesh es lo ms cercano de este lote al ensimismado del que habl antes, algo que ya expliqu que no era bueno, no recomendara la contratacin de una persona que tenga problemas para comunicarse a ese ex...

Geeks Of The World Rejoice! Behold The First-Ever Twitter-MLS!
2008-07-23 07:59:00 I’ve been accused — rightly, I might add — of being a geek. I also happen to be in real estate. You put the two together, plus a keen interest in using new social media tools like Twitter, and what do you get? The Twitter-MLS! For a long time, MLS searches have been available via email. Recently, some real estate search providers — like our friends at Trulia and at Diverse Solutions — have enabled MLS searches via RSS feeds. (That’s actually the technology I use on the sidebar to provide the link searches.) As the latest new big online thing, Twitter has attracted a massive cult following, and as a permission-based communication tool, it’s ideal for sending out news snippets such as new listings. Here’s how it works: Sign up for an account at Twitter if you haven’t done so already. Head thither and “follow” my Twitter “Menlo Park MLS” account. Other towns in the Bay Area will follow shortly.
