My issue with what “Geek Culture” has become, today, is that it has little to do with science and space exploration and colonization, and too much do with mindless, selfish, fantasy. It used to be that we had a group of people who were interested in pop-culture’s expression of a tech future paced by space […]
Roger Ebert. Wben I saw the words “RIP Roger Ebert” on Twitter, I knew I’d grown older at just that moment. Because, you see, I grew up with Mr. Ebert and Gene Siskel, and tuned in religiously to their TV show “At The Movies.” That was Siskel and Ebert. When Gene Siskel died of cancer […]

CNN just had a segment devoted to “Black Nerds” that was just completely annoying.

Klout just gave this blogger another reason to dislike its system, and another reason to stick with Kred.
