Geek Blog – Original Star Wars Trilogy Told with Lego
Geek Blog – Mega Man Alphabet
My good friend, James posted this to my Facebook wall yesterday. The video will be on the Little Geek’s iPod as soon as I get home from the office. Poor Roll, stuck with the broom.
Geek Blog – Halloween Fun
It seems we have a little bit of a Mario fetish at our house. Decals on the walls and shower curtains. Some of this has bled over into our Halloween fever. The GeekWife is an awesome tailor and always comes through with the best costumes for us (Halloween or not). This year is no different. More pics after the jump, including one of the little geek as a 900 year-old green guru.
Geek Blog – Mega Wall
8-bit art FTW! My Mega Man wall has finally come to fruition. From the moment we moved into our new house, I wanted to add some geek zest to a few rooms. I’ve already posted the beginnings of the Mario Bathroom (which will bleed over into the little geek’s room). For this project, I used an awkward wall in our office to post the 8×10 glossy prints of the Mega Man stage select screen. Mega Man 2 is my test case. Eventually, I’d love to move to digital picture frames, so I can cycle the bosses (or even turn some squares to empty) on a timer, by season, month, whatever.
More pictures after the jump.
Geek Blog: Hardcore 8-bit Rap
Parental Advisory: Strong language ahead: these aren’t your Little Geek’s NES games!
From Pac-Man, to Punch Out, Mega Man and Final Fantasy, Duane and BrandO lay down relevant rhymes to the games they showcase. More after the break!

Geek Blog – TMBG New Music Video
BoingBoing debuted yesterday a new educational music video by my favorite band in the whole world, They Might Be Giants. Titled “Meet the Elements”, the video is a tribute the the periodic table and how elements combine to make everyday items, elephants and us!
TMBG have been orienting their music around educational topics for as long as I can remember. Hits that top my favorites list are (with video after the break):
Why does the sun shine? (The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace…)
Mammal
James K. Polk (Our 11th president!)
Dinner Bell
There’s Only One Everything (there’s only 1)
and many others!
Geek Blog – Things Your Kids May Never Know
The GeekDad authors at Wired have posted an interesting article relating to older technologies that we may be familiar with now as adults, but our children will never get exposure from. Some items were humorous, others, a little frightening. I’ve picked my favorite 10, but encourage you to read the article.
17) That there was a time before ‘reality TV.’ (I can’t believe there was such a thing!)
30) Blowing the dust out of a NES cartridge in the hopes that it’ll load this time. (I’m guilty of this)
33) Having to delete something to make room on your hard drive.
37) Finding out information from an encyclopedia. (You can find information in books??)
38) Using a road atlas to get from A to B.
62) Getting lost. With GPS coming to more and more phones, your location is only a click away.
75) LEGO just being square blocks of various sizes, with the odd wheel, window or door.
81) Han shoots first. (I can’t stress this one enough)
82) “Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.” But they’ve already seen episode III, so it’s no big surprise. (*sigh*)
86) Finding books in a card catalog at the library. (You mean that place where we go to get free wifi?)
Bonus:
100) When a ‘geek’ and a ‘nerd’ were one and the same. (I’m actually kind of glad this one changed)
