Gadget Geeks Unite
I don't need to point out that we're living through an era of dizzying innovation and change. I just saw an article on Yahoo! called "The Sleekest Gadgets of 2012." and there's some pretty cool stuff there. Same with the Gadget section of ThinkGeek. Always good for...

Movie Geeks, Do You Know Who Your Villains Are?
Movies personify evil in the form of villains—people who must be opposed, defeated, killed, and/or destroyed. This is a problem for us real folks living in the real world. Movie villains are caricatures. Nuanced caricatures at times, sure—but caricatures. Not real...
Snow White and the Huntsman review: Geek Faith Tribe
Snow White and the Huntsman is a pretty good movie. (There are no spoilers in this review). Visually, this film is captivating. On the acting front, however, the only kudos I'd hand out would be to Charlize Theron, who's over-the-top interpretation of dark Queen...
