Irregular’s Intel – My Name is Kylan and I am an EFNJ

Earlier this week, my team leader at work decided to do something a little outside of the box and have the team do a version of the Briggs Myers Personality Test. For those of you reading at home, it is a test comprised of several situations that asks you to choose, based on your preferences, and then compiles these behaviors into one of 16 personality types. It then breaks it down to a general introduction, your strengths and weaknesses, career choices, how you behave in romantic relationships and friendships, your workplace habits and so forth.  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – My Name is Kylan and I am an EFNJ

Irregular’s Intel – A Few Thoughts On Dr. Hawking

I’m not the most scientific person, by any measure. I stink at math and the thought of trying to balance a chemistry formula still gives me the shakes! But I was, and am, a huge fan of Dr. Stephen Hawking. Outside of Mr. Wizard, he was the first to make science feel accessible for me. Maybe it is because the concept of a multiverse is something that I’d toyed with for a long time due to my love of science fiction and comics. It was cool knowing that a world respected scientist had formed a theory around that concept.

Add to that the fact that it’s most definitely for adults and I had to give it a shot.  Continue reading She Geek Critique – Get Schwifty in Here

Welcome to the second of my two recaps of Science Track panels from Dragon Con. This time I’m covering “The Science of Luke Cage,” which looked into the potential reality behind a character with impenetrable skin and incredible strength. The panel of scientists leading the discussion included a chemistry professor, an engineer, a biology professor and a biologist.  Continue reading She Geek Critique – Dragon Con Science: Power Man

She Geek Critique – Dragon Con Science: The Multiverse

As mentioned in last week’s blog about Dragon Con, I attended a few panels that were presented by the Science Track. Like a true geek, I took notes, so this week and next I’m doing a recap of a couple of the panels that were directly related to pop culture. First up is “Managing the Multiverse,” which looked at the various scientific theories exploring the possibilities of multiple universes and/or timelines – a must for any geeks into comic book and sci-fi time travel and multiverse plots!  Continue reading She Geek Critique – Dragon Con Science: The Multiverse
