This Week in Geekdom

Hey everyone. Hope you're all having great weekends thus far. With the Summer Sale in its final hours and my surprisingly persistent side project finally complete the GIR and I can buckle down and begin the sprint towards Gen Con 2014. Bonus: there are at least 2 more weeks of World Cup to provide welcome diversion during the many hours that will be spent sewing. That's all well and good, but there are still many weeks between now and then, so let's get down to This Week in Geekdom. Comics It's...

Cosplay: The Mighty Cosplay Lieutenant

The goal was to have some process posts for you guys starting this week but the fun little side project I mentioned two entries ago met with a pretty significant setback, so it’s going to be a little longer before I can go back to devoting all my attention to the three costumes slated for Gen Con. In the meantime though, I wanted to address something that’s come up a few times on the blog, but has never actually been formally discussed and that is the Cosplay Lieutenant. Since we’re rapidly approaching...

This Week in Geekdom

Hi everyone. Sorry for the gap between posts. Work and, well, life got a bit crazy last week and effectively derailed your regularly scheduled reading. Also, World Cup. My bracket is completely annihilated at this point, but the action is still capable of making off with an entire day. Fortunately, this past week was chock-full of geeky goodness so we can leap back into the swing of things with This Week in Geekdom! TV I gushed about this on the social media sites on Friday, but...

Here's hoping that today's post makes a lick of sense, as my brain is adrift on a puffy cloud of antihistamines and cough suppressants. Apparently my immune system has finally run out of steam after what was probably a very difficult winter, but more time spent indoors just translates into more links for This Week in Geekdom. So, without further ado, let's get down the highlights of the past seven days. Books $20,000 USD can buy you a lot of things. It can buy you a nice new car,...

NomNoms: Grilled Sweet Potato & Scallion Salad

It may not be calendrical summer just yet, but it’s finally starting to at least feel seasonably appropriate around here. The extended daylight hours and relative warmth can draw even the most computer-bound of us outside, even if just for a little while. The combination of costume construction and the litany of new game releases seeks to combat the tractor beam that is a temperate, breezy summer afternoon, but one thing will always trump the appeal of the indoors: cooking when the ambient temperature...

This Week in Geekdom

How is it June already? Seriously, where has this year gone? We'll be getting back to Lorenz transformation territory if this pace keeps up. No complaints here though, as this phenomenon brings Gen Con 2014 <that> much closer. Can't wait. In the meantime, let's get down to the Week in Geekdom! Comics Gaiman v MacFarlane was one of the single most followed comic book legal battles to date. This week, the transcripts of this epic courtroom struggle were released to the public. The...
