Geek A Week Challenge #48: Paul And Storm
I remember when I first met Paul Sabourin of Paul and Storm.
The time: Summer 2006. It was a glorious time. I was drawing hoboes for John Hodgman’s 700 Hoboes project, the term “podcasting” has made it to the front page of every paper’s Living section, and I was smack dab in the middle doing weekly art for another year long project, Jonathan Coulton’s Thing A Week. Paul was familiar with my art...

Clever Headline Announcing Paul And Storm As Week...
I have been waiting for this week’s announcement for quite a while, at least since the near the beginning of the project. That’s because I knew when I made it, that it was signified something extremely important was about to happen. I equate it to the moment during a fireworks display when you’re awaiting the big finale. There is a very pregnant pause that occurs right before...

Geek A Week Challenge #47: Aaron Douglas
I have a really embarrassing admission to make. I have still not watched the finale of Battlestar Galactica.
I can lay blame in a lot of different directions. But I’m going to chalk this up to me starting into the show too late. I began watching BSG a few weeks before it was to go off the air, in my vain attempt to catch up. I had watched the original reboot movie when it came out and...

Hail To The Chief. Aaron Douglas is Geek 47.
I often wonder as I write these Thursday announcements for Geek A Week, how many of you actually look forward to it. I mean, there is some excitement about knowing who comes up next. (I’m not deluding myself, am I?) But does anyone actually wait for me to post these announcements? I am thinking this, of course, as the project is rolling to a close. Just one more month of geeks and my...

All this week, I have been trying to raise funds to make it to PAX East in March. I’d like to raise enough to pay for my travel, hotel and expenses. I am so close to making my goal and I think this one day auction may push it over the top.
I am selling an uncut sheet of Geek #7: MC Frontalot’s trading card. Back in May, when Frontalot came to Cleveland, I made him a set of cards. I...

Attention geeks of all stripes, people who have ever read a comic book, or those who have even a passing interest in physics and science: If you ever get a chance to see this week’s geek, Professor James Kakalios, speak in person, do it. Without a doubt, it will be the most interesting physics lecture you will ever hear.

Geek A Week Challenge #45: Team Unicorn
Growing up in the 80’s, playing my Colecovision and 8-Bit Nintendo, watching and collecting everything Star Wars and Lucas movie-related, I had many a dream of meeting a beautiful girl who shared my nerdy hobbies. A girl who loves video games, comic books and movies as much as my friends and I did AND would be willing to not only chat for hours about the topics, but also partake -WILLINGLY...

Happy Thursday, Geeks! That’s right, it’s time for another Geek A Week announcement. And it’s a pretty exciting one this week. You know, it may be a frigid cold outside in most of the US, but here at Geek A Week, things are about to get pretty hot!
Of course, I am not talking climate-changing here. I’m talking about the rise in body temperature when viewing attractive...
