4 Tips to Help Computer Geeks Improve their Writing
2011-05-17 09:15:00 A few years ago, I was charged with the task of working as an editor assisting hard sciences researchers with their writing skills. Basically, I was locked in a cold, clinical lab-type office eight hours a day with a bunch of shamelessly nerdy geeks who didn?t know the difference between passive and active voice, who ...

Are Geeks & Nerds better than the "Cool kids"?
2011-01-25 04:20:00 Revenge of the Nerds (20th Century Fox)Everyone is familiar with the term "Jocks versus Nerds." Anyone who's ever been a 'jock' or a 'nerd' experienced it in their youth, and there was even a film series based on the concept that athletic kids don't get along with the brainy ones.Of course, that's not entirely true. Even though I was a die-hard "Star Wars freak" -- as my friends called me -- I still had friends on the football team and didn't always get picked on by the 'cool kids.' (Well, yeah, I dealt with my share of bullies, but that's a story for another day.)When it comes to cliques and social groups, it doesn't always come down to Nerds and...
Adopted by the Geeks and Nerds
2010-12-05 05:37:00 Andrew and I were the first ones to adopt Katie. She has lived with us from the time she was several months old, and we have escorted her through the ups and downs of daily life for seven years. And then last month there was the great water bottle incident, where Katie was teased for carrying a Star Wars thermos. The little boys told her during lunch and recess that Star Wars was only for boys. I wrote a post about it, and a lot of people paid attention.There are countless clubs and organizations out in the world, and I have witnessed the great unifying power of common interests. I have seen waves of emotion shared by people at musical...

2010-11-24 05:30:00 So right about now is the time when people ask... "What do you want for Christmas." Here are a few answers that you can give people this Thanksgiving weekend. This is a list of a few things that you probs would not purchase for yourself but you know in your heart that you "NEED IT." Worse case scenario if everyone in your life is as broke as you are... ask for Sephora or Ulta gift cards and lump them together for one huge gift for yourself. Lets be honest, you deserve it! P.S. I have also been doing some poking around and Ulta and Sephora are both rumoured to be doing black Friday sales both in store and online. Probably the...

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...

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...

Guía geek, para contratar a geeks
2008-12-02 02:13:00 Imaginen por un momento que estos cuatro geeks son todos informáticos, ¿a quien contratarían ustedes? OK, los personajes de The Big Bang Theory son caricaturas, porque nadie es tán geek, ¿cierto? Pero bueno, sigamos con el juego, la idea de este apunte es ser una especie de guía ilustrada a mi post anterior. Veamos el primer candidato: Rajesh Koothappali Hay una razón para sentirme identificado con Rajesh, la que es bastante obvia para el lector frecuente de este blog: el número 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, superé hace mucho tiempo, y sin tener que recurrir al alcohol. Rajesh es lo más cercano de este lote al ensimismado del que hablé antes, algo que ya expliqué que no era bueno, no recomendaría la contratación 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.
