Geeky Links 8/20

Leave a comment

Today I am getting my geek on at D23Expo! But I will tell you more about that next week;). Lets get to some links!

 

This week’s video is more of just a music track but who can resist Captain Jack singing about the Doctor in a remake of a Wicked song? Not me;).

I love these shared work places set ups. If you love them and are looking for your options check out Loose Cubes. You just put in your city and all your options come up, including their prices. Gotta love it! I believe that Fresno’s own Hashtag is listed too;).

Are you joining in on International Read Comics in Public Day on the 28th? I definitely am!

Android and Me has a great piece on what may or may not happen when Google acquires Motorola.

Geek Girls Network has a review of Ready Player One. It looks like a fun and nerdy read;).

GirlGeekCon has a great look back in This Week’s History of the Geek.

A D23 Expo Post That Isn’t About D23 Expo

Leave a comment

I sit here with a nervous excitement waiting for the D23Expo to start.
Of course part of my excitement is due to the fact that this event is
huge glimpse into Disney (and Marvel) but that isn’t all. This is my
first real “press” event. I have done movie screenings and blogger
only events but this time, well this time I will join a group that has
real media outlets! What if everyone finds out I am just a blogger.
(Before you ask, yes the studio people who gave me the pass know;)

Before you all jump on me for saying “just a blogger”, that is not
that I feel that blogging isn’t legit. Not at all! But I know there
are many who still don’t see it as legit. And I am afraid of being
outed;).

As I am sitting here typing this another person with a press pass sat
down and struck up a conversation. He is a blogger;).

I just need to walk in who I know I am. Wow, that sounded like a lot
of bull. But it is true;). Disney must value me or they wouldn’t have
offered me the press pass to begin with, right?

By the way, NerdDad really likes my job right now!

Geeky Links 8/6

2 Comments

Lets start this week’s geeky links off with a little Angry Birds humor! For a long time I was sitting on the outside of the Angry Birds phenomenon but when I got my iPad2 I finally started playing.And unfortunately, I think I finally understand just how addicting it is!

My Twitter friend JadedDave has built a cool looking Tardis. I am not sure what he is doing with it but it is cool none the less;).

Bit Rebels have a piece on this awesome looking Biro Pencil Carpet. Basically someone has hand drawn a carpet that is so cool looking. Not my normal type of geeky material but very cool!

Hey guys! It is time for a few geeky links to get you through the week! This week I have found not just nerdy links but also so educational ones too!

Now that Comic-con is over there is a ton of YouTube videos out. This one made us over here at the NerdFamily Bust out laughing!

There are some of the Top 10 Nerdy Cakes over at the Musing Maine-iac. They are super cool!

The Female Perspective of Computer Science has a really interesting book review in Women and Going Beyond Gaming. It has some really interesting and true insights about some flaws in our education system.

For you geeky parents!!! I found over on This Mama Loves Her Bargains that K’Nex is running an awesome modeling competition! There are multiple ages ranges and prizes of $20,000 savings bonds!!!

Code is a Tool

1 Comment

Today this talk from the Evo conference was shared with me. Maya Bisineer did a great job of talking about how code is a tool that we need to teach our children, especially our girls, so they can use it to make their dreams come true. I couldn’t agree more!

But the lack of coding and teaching coding is just evidence of a problem in our society. People just throw their hands up when they can’t do something that would give them what they want.

I mean how prevalent is it that people say how they can’t cook and how much they hate that they can’t cook? Rather than learn and equip themselves they don’t try because it isn’t their passion. But cooking is a skill that gets you something and that something can change everything.

I think that is why my passion is equipping people! I want to make people feel that they can learn how to do just about anything they desire to do! Be it homeschooling, cooking or just playing with technology.

We need to be willing to learn the skills and how to utilize tools to help up express our passions and change the world! And we need to pass that onto our children. And I agree with Maya, lets start with coding!!!
