Word Press Geekout
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Geek on 26. Feb, 2010 | 0 Comments
I have been blogging for … well to be honest about 10 years. It was a long time ago that I started my first blog. I maintained it until my second child was born and then my updates got fewer and fewer until I stopped updating all together about 2 years ago when I first [...]
Feeling Generous?

I haven’t done a geek post in a while and there is a law in which I will lose my geek card if I don’t write about the latest Apple product. Now I am not an apple fanboi, but they do make some great products. More than that they have an incredible PR department. We want to love the look and style because they convince us we want to. Look back at the first iPod or iMac. By today’s standards it looks clunky, but when it came out we believed it looked like a curvy sexy future. Each iteration of their product convinces us we need that new sleek look.
Some new digs for Christmas and Web-fu

Merry Christmas to me, I got a new theme. This blog theme is a modified version of “Meta-Morphosis” from Woo Themes. They make some wicked themes and most will cost you, but they are worth it. They also make a few for free. The great part is the free ones are very feature rich. In fact, there are several options with this theme that I’m not using just yet, but will be.
You can see the finished product, but what did I have to work with? Well here is a screen shot from the theme demo over at Woo Themes.

Give Away
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Geek on 16. Dec, 2009 | 12 Comments
OK so I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway for a while, but I can’t really think of anything. I put it out on twitter last night and got a couple of good suggestions, but I’m interested in more ideas so here’s the deal, I have 20 invites for Google Wave. I am happy to give those away to people who comment about what I should give away.
This giveaway is open until 20 people have won or December 20th (this Sunday) which ever comes second. If I have more than 20 people entered by Sunday then I will randomly select 20 winners after the contest ends on Sunday. If not then I will send out invites to everyone that entered and keep sending them until I have distributed all 20.
To recap, if you want a Google Wave invite please comment with a suggestion on what else I should give away.
WordPress a journey
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Geek on 08. Dec, 2009 | 15 Comments
About two months ago I began investigating using Wordpress as a blog platform over blogger. I had installed it on my local machine and experimented with it occasionally in my free time, of which I have little. Two weeks ago I began the process of moving my blog over to Wordpress and one week ago I went live. Peter of Rediscovering the Church helped my quite a bit as I began this journey. I have reached a few conclusions.
Geek your Tuesday with Music

A couple weeks ago I bore witness to a dream of geek culture in a merger of science and art in one t-shirt. A couple years back the guys at Think Geek created a prank product for April Fool’s day (a day I truly love) called the “Personal Sound Track” shirt. This prank gained a [...]

Yeah so I am just all over the place right now. Fridays I was trying to bring a little more geek, but sadly I started a new series last week instead of the geek because I’m feeling lazy. So now I bring you the geek update on Tuesday. Getchergeekon. (seems like there is probably a [...]
Geek your cook on

Hey, if I’m going to be talking about all things geek then I need to make a few things clear right up front. Geek culture is vast. I am generally a techno-geek but I’m also a language geek, a comic geek, a film geek, and several other categories of geek. Generally you can be a [...]
Geek up
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Geek on 09. Oct, 2009 | 12 Comments
At some point in the past I was posting 6 days a week and had a nice theme going for each day. Then the summer happened. Now I’m trying to recover a bit and start my regular posting again. I could go back and see what Friday is all about but I decided that I’d [...]
