Warning: Intro is NSFW. Let’s get something straight, right off the jump. All Muppet’s movies are awesome, straight up. Even the ones that may slip up here and there are still movies featuring Muppets, therefore, by default, awesome. But CinemaSins Jeremy did put together a pretty nice list of them Muppet movies ranked from best […]
Marvel looks to have 2015 locked down pretty hard, movie-wise. Actually, they seem to have the next century planned out, but one of the movies we have to look forward to first is Ant Man. While anything with Paul Rudd has to be a certain amount of awesome, some people do seem to have their doubts. Thankfully, […]

Every year it seems like the lights come out earlier. Returning from Thanksgiving festivities here in the US, we noticed that half of our street was illuminated wheras just days before had been absolutely typical. Bows and lights and garlands are just the beginning though; some people take their decorations way seriously. It’s not just […]
If you’re like me, thinking about gifts this season is a little stress-inducing. While the recession is technically over, here in the states, many of us are still feeling the crunch. And while I like to try and make most of the gifts we give during the holidays, that’s not always practical. The truth is, […]
So maybe you don’t have enough time to do this before Thanksgiving, but I can’t think of a cooler way to keep your recipes than this Atari Punk recipe box. From Make: Hey, you want to make some chunky 8-bit music? In a recipe box? With Atari paddles? Using a Dremel tool? We thought you […]
Sure, budgeting is important. This is a touch economy. But we can dream, right? Without dreams, we just can’t get by! So, rather than suggest all these economical options for the holiday season, I thought I’d compile a list of the kind of gifts every geek dreams of, and if given the opportunity would probably […]
The holidays are quickly and inexorably approaching. And if you’re like me, you’re likely to find a few hilarious (and well-intended) presents under the old Christmas tree, or your celebratory equivalent. Because, try as our families might, sometimes it’s just plain impossible to find a good gift for a geek without some really good direction. […]
With the penultimate Harry Potter film looming just around the corner, I am yet again reminded of the degrees of fandom in our community. While I’d like to say that geeks are entirely welcoming to all stripes of fans, over the years I’ve detected certain fandom hierarchies within geekery. And perhaps no fandom has stirred […]
It’s a rarely disputed fact among the geek contingent that conventions, by and large, are a kind of rite of passage. (If you haven’t gotten the convention achievement, you really should get on that, by the way.) And what’s not to love? There are as many conventions these days as there are fandoms, all across […]
