Did you notice Comixology’s servers getting utterly pounded on Sunday? (And quite possibly, still are?) Well, that’s just because Marvel just announced that they have over 700 comics available for a free download through the end of Tuesday, March 12. There are of course a great many classic series that you can try out, but […]
When I first heard that TBS was producing a reality show pitting nerds against each other in competition, I was skeptical to say the least. There are a lot of ways that this could have been extremely insulting – especially since the show seems to have sprung out of the success the network has had […]
If the hundreds of human-language translations of Shakespeare’s works don’t satisfy your need for the Bard in your life, rest assured other geeks have you covered. Apparently, Hamlet is available in Klingon: There’s a line in one of the Star Trek movies where a Klingon character says, “you have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in […]
When it comes to fandom these days, I have to be exceptionally picky. It’s not like when I was in college, where I had stupid amounts of free time and no cares in the world. I’ve got kids.

Gary Gale is a geo technologist, a geographer – a “self professed geek with a life”. Hailing from London, his realm of geekdom centers around maps. His “Vaguely Rude Place Names of the World” exhibits his geek-level passion for cartography in having collated some of the world’s cities that have rather…amusing names. At least in […]
The man who made one of the most popular TV and movie technologies work has died at the age of 96. Petro Vlahos did not invent “bluescreening” but was responsible for making it work smoothly. The technique, known colloquially as chroma key compositing, is now widely used for special effects, both in a genuine attempt […]
