As mainstream as it may seem at the moment, being a geek is still considered outside the norm. Some of us are lucky enough to be surrounded by fellow geeks and, thus, somewhat insulated from it. But people still question how someone could be such a big fan of certain shows or characters or even entire genres. They don’t understand the appeal of surrounding yourself with your pop culture fandoms (though they blindly accept sports fandoms!). Continue reading She Geek Critique – Why Be Geek

Irregular’s Intel – A Change of Attitude, A Change of Altitude
For the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that, regardless of how my day has been or what is happening to me or in my life, I have felt great, I’ve been in a really good place about things.

Irregular’s Intel – Earned Perspective
Recently I turned 47 and I’m proud of that milestone. True, outside of avoiding life ending behaviors it has only meant that I have managed to successfully breath for that long and I embrace that. But it also means that I have gained a certain perspective on certain issues that I would not have otherwise developed. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Earned Perspective
