You know that title isn’t even a thing. You know it, I know it, the dude with the manbun, beard and wireless earbuds knows it too. Yet AGAIN, Gen X is left out of the conversation that millennials and baby boomers have been having for the last several years. Honestly, it is closer to when you’re at a family dinner and that uncomfortable comment gets said and the wheels come off of the cart. Then, you and your favorite cousin, the goth that everyone else thinks is weird, but they actually get it and they don’t care, sneak off to the kitchen and snack on cookies and alcohol. Could we be part of the conversation? If we cared enough to yell loud enough to be heard, sure, but we let our absence do the talking. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – OK, X’er!

Irregular’s Intel – Where Do We Go From Here?
Right now, anything every geek is talking about is Black Panther and with good reason. It has obliterated records, exceeded expectations, and is a cultural phenomenon.
