A Radio Special on Nerds- You Must Check This Out.

On Saturday, Wisconsin Public Radio aired a special on "Revenge of the Nerds" on the hour long program, To the Best Of Our Knowledge. Basically, they interviewed a few nerdy authors and fairly geeky characters about how nerdom is slowly becoming cool. People are gradually coming to accept the dorks, the math wizes, and computer geeks. It's kind of becoming uncool to be "cool". They also feature some geek rap, or "Nerdcore" and an interview with bestselling author Holly Black, who wrote th… Continue

A Star Trek Review from a Semi-Trekkie

Okay, I'll admit that I am not a full blown "trekkie" or "trekker" in the Star Trek franchise. Sadly, I have not spent my hours beaming up, I haven't crushed on Kirk, I haven't challenged Spock. I've watched some episodes of the Next Generation with my dad, but I haven't watched the show since the beginning or memorized any lines. I'm really not that big of a fan. I couldn't get into it. I've wanted to be the uber-nerdy trekkie, like all the other cool sci-fi nerds, but I find myself slow… Continue

A Different Sort Of Collab...

So, I was just thinking... I'm rather uncomfortable putting my face and information out on youtube, but I thought it would be cool to do different videos everyday, revolving around a theme, that don't show anyone's face (unless used creatively). It could be like a slideshow of photos, or a cartoon of your day or something, maybe a review of a movie, or a song. I don't know. That's for anyone who decides to participate to choose. It would also be like a collab channel, with a different person ev… Continue

PEEPS.

Peeps. The sugary, fluffy, high-in-dyes marshmallow treat. Some people do not like Peeps. I'm not one of them. Peeps are irresistible. I'm incapable of eating just one. The different colors, the scrumptious taste. The sensation of the first bite is overwhelming... I can hear the soft crunching of the sugar as I intake the head of a poor marshmallow birdie. It's awful, but I can't stop. Peeps are my drug of choice. They keep me going on a sweet, mellow, high. For those few weeks every season,… Continue

Controversy! Music! Confusion! Irritation!

I would just like to say that I FOUND THIS VIDEO WAY WAY WAY WAY BEFORE THE PRESS AND CRAP. *cries* I saw this vid like, 2 weeks before it appeared on itunes, and then youtube featured it a week after i favorited it, and then Yahoo picks it up and puts it on the front page.... Bah! So, the next time you see this video posted somewhere w… Continue

The Return of ReinaDelCid.

So this is a snippet from my blog that I thought I'd put up over here, partially for advertising, and the other just because I'm really happy about it. Anyways, here it is: Awhile ago- say, September? I was on Youtube, and I discovered this amazing musician, "ReinaDelCid" who has several songs, in which I listened to obsessively for a few days, but then, in an epic computer-history erasing, she was wiped clean from my Youtube account. Tragic, I know. So I desperately looked for her for a few da… Continue
