The Geek Beat: Time to Grin and Bare It
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013/08/time-to-grin-and-bare-it.html
Where geek is a verb. Time to Grin and Bare It. So I screwed up and dropped my pretty decent update schedule, so to make it up to everyone I’m going to solve all the world’s problems. And at the low low cost of letting me see you naked. Not just me of course, me knowing what everyone’s naughty bits look like isn’t going to solve anything. I am however convinced that many problems will go away with everyone knowing what everyone’s naughty bits look like. 1) Once you get past the initial mortification that...

The Geek Beat: Pour some sugar and shut up about it
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2014/06/pour-some-sugar-in-gas-tank-of-band.html
Where geek is a verb. Pour some sugar and shut up about it. I still hold to my grade school assertion that my life would be much better if everything I did had musical accompaniment. Well almost everything. Putting my kids to bed doesn’t need a rock song in the back ground. I live in a very quiet neighborhood. Like I get irked when my neighbors sit in their backyard and chat using their inside voices. There’s just not that much going on. Except once or twice a month in the summer. After I forced my kids ...

The Geek Beat: They put my name on a Red Sox jersey
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013/09/they-put-my-name-on-red-sox-jersey.html
Where geek is a verb. They put my name on a Red Sox jersey. The surest sign on a blog approaching (or reapproaching in this case) than sequential posts that begin with an apology for not updating recently. So screw you guys, I’m not apologizing for nothing! There that should save me. Plus I’m making up for a lifetime being a nerd but not knowing how to play Magic the Gathering or anything like it. So I’m trying to get my house presentable to my inlaws and my new daughter. I know babies shouldn&...To make...

The Geek Beat: Toads? More like frogs that gave up
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013/09/toads-more-like-frogs-that-gave-up.html
Where geek is a verb. More like frogs that gave up. No world changing plans this time, just something I’ve been carrying for a long time and really need to get off my chest. The following animals are stupid:. Skunks: Skunks are stupid. They’re a little black and white animal whose only defense is the fact that they really really stink. You’re not intimidating skunks. Go evolve some fangs or something. I get the whole thing is they want to be the only animal that can eat the leaves off the trees. And ...

The Geek Beat: December 2012
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Where geek is a verb. Daddy wants to be a Mummy. Today while looking at the news, I had a moment of panic when I to choose between a story about the President banning guns or on about an eagle trying to grab a kid. My life policy of “when in doubt, choose the bird” did not steer me wrong. I also ended up reading a lot about King Ramses III because who doesn’t scour the Web trying to figure out what that crazy cat got up to last weekend? We could totally do that! Also, how did they know where it happened?

The Geek Beat: November 2012
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Where geek is a verb. Preemptive Critic Red Dawn. So Red Dawn huh? Seriously, did nobody in marketing not think this name sounds like a 5 Grade girls health video? Now yes, I do know that this is a re-make. I know that these days re-makes get re-made with no questions re-asked, but really, they probably should. Seriously guys, do some research next time. Invade Maine. We’d probably just give it to you, half the people there already think they’re in Canada. And I can’t say that I blame them.

The Geek Beat: Even my mom knows the Street Sharks were stupid
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013/09/even-my-mom-knows-street-sharks-were.html
Where geek is a verb. Even my mom knows the Street Sharks were stupid. My head hurts, I need to get working on re-baby/inlaw-proofing this house and I really want to finish season one of “Avatar: the Last Airbender” before I go to bed, so we’re doing a short, slice of life piece and calling it a day. So now we play with action figures a lot. And of course these action figures need to fight which is done in the ancient martial art of smashing the things into each other while making fight noises with y...

The Geek Beat: April 2013
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Where geek is a verb. Paper beats rock and diaper. I love everything about my son. I know I’m not the first father to complain about his kid pooping. Kids poop. Fathers complain about it. It’s the circle of life. But I adulted up and did what I had to do. Pretty soon changing diapers became just another thing I did. Like paying taxes, but slightly less demoralizing. I know that I only get 5 exclamations point a year, but this is totally worth using one. And of course, he can remember every time I ever sa...

The Geek Beat: March 2013
http://thegeekbeat.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Where geek is a verb. I think about this stuff too much. I thought about giving myself the week off, but I’m going to bust something out because that’s the kind of guy I am. One who fears change. I got a crap ton of stuff to do today so this won’t be very good I’m afraid. I saw the movie Brave a while ago. I quite liked, Scottish butt-jokes and all. I thought is was a charming tale properly told full of great lighting effects. I can think of another movie that this reminds me of. Half the main characters...
