Irregular’s Intel – OK, X’er!

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!

The other day I was talking to my wife about where I am in life at this moment. I was talking about how happy I am and how it has taken me longer than most to start to realize my potential, sorta. I said that I was ok with being a late bloomer. I said that thinking of how so many others seem to have gotten a clue about what they want out of life and how to get it way earlier than me.

She Geek Critique – Free to Be Geek

For this week’s issue of Geek Watch One (available here), we interviewed nerdcore artists Juice Lee and Alpha Riff. It was great talking to these guys because they are truly passionate about their geek. For them, it’s not just a matter of creating music, but also delving deep into their particular fandoms and exploring aspects that would not otherwise have existed.  Continue reading She Geek Critique – Free to Be Geek

Irregular’s Intel – Enough Is Enough!

Here it is, Sunday afternoon, the day before Labor Day, and I am on the fence about what I am about to say. Yet another mass shooting has occurred and I am over it. I know that the following words are going to piss some of you off, but there are a few things to take into consideration first. #1. This is my blog and my opinion. I am aware of the facts and those facts can be interpreted in various ways, depending on who is presenting and how, more like a glass half empty/half full situation. #2. This is not a personal attack on any person or group, just my observation from 48 years of living on this planet. #3. I am a gun owner, a proud one at that. But I am also not so tied to that thing that I lack the ability to back away and have some semblance of objectivity. With that being said…  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Enough Is Enough!
