Geek Blog – What Teachers Make
Posted by Snowy in Geek Blog, GeekWife Blog, Poetry, Video on October 21st, 2011
GeekWife is wrapping up her “Week alone with the class” portion of her student teaching. I’m very proud of her; she’s only told me of a couple of students who ended up crying. All kidding aside, she puts in a lot of work in the off hours to finish her college education and earn her teaching certificate and I’m frankly amazed at her perseverance. A co-worker sent me a link to this video and I thought it would be great to share. You might recognize him from his performance of “Speak with Authority.”
Taylor Mali has many great poetic performances and would have been my favorite English Teacher!
To the GeekWife: I love you, you’re doing great!

Geek Blog – SpoCon 2011
August 12, 13 and 14 of 2011 was the Annual SpoCon: Spokane, Washington’s geek-fest. The GeekWife and I took a mini-vacation away from the LittleGeeks for some play of our own.
We might have disrupted a Space/Time Continuum or two....
I was out of town for work Friday, so we didn’t start our escapade until early Saturday afternoon. I’ll admit, this was my first Con, so I was a tad anxious. The Con offered many choices for entertainment and education. Workshops for CosPlayers, LAN Gaming, Board Gaming, writers’ workshops, a Masquerade and Rave as well as an Art Show/Auction – options, options!
We arrived at Spokane’s DoubleTree hotel sometime after lunch and as we navigated the crowds toward the front desk for checkin, we were greeted by a young man in full Ultramarine Power Armor! Farther down the hall sat Boushh, presumably enjoying a short break in the tides. After check-in, GeekWife and I hurried to our room at the 11th floor and quickly changed into our Con garb. Geekwife had created an excellent corset by weaving together a ton of WoW cards (doubles of doubles, and alliance to boot, she assures me). I donned my favorite costume: the Jedi Robes. We then promptly headed back downstairs to see what it was all about.

Geek Blog – Words Hurt
Words of advice to “keep our future janitors and sports reporters in school just long enough so they don’t become a burden on our tax system.” Don’t be a GeekBully
Words Hurt, so bite your tongues, fellow geeks. Just once a day.

Geek Blog – Spock’s Facebook
I always wondered what was in Spock’s little visor/screen. I figured it was the ship’s sensors or some other sciencey thing.
Thanks to YT user BlackMoonCGI, I now know what he’s doing. Checking Facebook. One thing’s for sure: the bridge crew doesn’t pull any punches.
Part 1….. Stay tuned for a potential Part 2!

Geek Blog – How Episode 5 Should Have Ended
It’s no secret that Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the original Star Wars saga. The amazingly hilarious site HowItShouldHaveEnded has posted their take on the classic middle child.
I won’t get technical, but there has to be a logical reason why Vader never pulled that move during the climax: I mean, he was using the force to toss about all sorts mechanical equipment in the bowels of Cloud City. Did he forget the adage drilled into us by Yoda mere minutes earlier: “size matters not.”?
I totally Lol’d at Vader’s excitement finding out he was a father: I can relate to that.

Geek Blog – DAN the MAN
studio JOHO has an animation out on YouTube depicting the happily ever after of a video game hero. I think he got it right after his first life was used up. BTW: props to JOHO for a very slick website design!
