Nerdy Music

 

Just some music I made that I like to use from time to time in my videos... figures I would share.

Week In Nerdom 11-20-2017

Last week's episode got lost in the shuffle of the work and things. This week's episode is chalk full of all the nerd news awesomeness you are looking for.

Description after the jump.

Adventures in Photography

     This is the second Adventure in Photography. I start with a failed trip out to Night on the Town in downtown Loveland. But, the next day was Pastels on 5th, which got some good footage. For the last bit, I headed to Denver with my girlfriend for an event with Bloodmilk Jewelry. It was a fun video, but I can do better

Week In Nerdom 10-9-2017

Last week's Week In Nerdom is live and kicking. Check out all the nerd news as of one week ago.

Comic Con: The Truth No One Wants To Admit... Kinda

     There are some interesting numbers about the top ranking Nerd Conventions in our country. With there being something like 500 nerdy conventions in the USA let's break down some of the differences and analyze what their popularity means, after the jump.

Nerdy Merch

There is now a Nerdy RedBubble Store. Click the image above to check it out.

Convention Life

     Reading through some Facebook group posts, I saw some people posting about how they have never been to a nerd convention before. This is 2017, nerd culture is at its peak (possibly even headed on the other side of the peak), and there are over 500 nerd conventions across the country. What are you people waiting for? Being into "nerdy" things has never been more en vogue, and never will it be like this again.

     Let's do a generalized walk-through of an average nerd convention.

Nerd Culture: A Saturation

     We are reaching critical mass with this influx of Nerd Culture into the pop mentality. What does that mean for our favorite characters?

13 Reasons...

    

     This piece has been stewing for about 2 weeks at this point... and possibly longer by the time I actually publish it. It needs to be written though.

     On March 31st 2017, Netflix released a series to stream called 13 Reasons Why about a group of teenagers dealing with the aftermath of one of their friend's suicide. The series is narrated by the disembodied voice of the dead girl, each episode being a side of a cassette tape (yeah... its a whole thing) she recorded explaining why her suicide was all of their faults.

     This is the place for the disclaimer. I, being a human being, have strong opinions about both the overt, obvious subject of this series, and the slightly more hidden, underlying issues that it refuses to acknowledge. Also, Spoiler Alert! I am going to talk about some details that will ruin the ending and other major plot points. If you haven't seen this show, and care about such things, then stop reading now. Otherwise, more after the jump...

Interview with Bitsie Tulloch

Unnecessary Change in Popular Characters

     So this is a conversation that may, on the surface, seem to be an about face on a stance I have taken in the past, and will continue to take: Changing an established "non-diverse" character into a "diverse" one for no other reason than to show off how diverse a creator/publisher/company is. There are ways to change an established character to fit a "more diverse" classification so as to not disturb the fan base.

The Oscars... And Awards Shows in General

 

     This is almost 2 weeks over due... better late than never I suppose.

     I am, in my opinion at least, a well rounded nerd. Part of that, to me at least, requires an awareness of trends and popular things in our culture today. What better way than awards shows?

Nerdy Sexuality

     This is an interview I did last year at Denver Comic Con.
     I just thought it was a good way to bring up Sexuality in Nerd Culture... which is really just an expansion on the CosPlay discussion.

New Regular Series

   
     So about two weeks ago I had an idea. All the "advice" channels on YouTube and everywhere else on the internet say that you need to post regularly and AT LEAST once a week. So what can a nerd like me do to ensure that there is something to post once a week? A "Week In..." series that's what. My only second thought was, "But everyone does a damn weekly nerd video of some sort. Hell, that's why The Nerdist even exists."

Mosh Pits

 

The etiquette of a mosh pit. What is a mosh pit? How should one act in this swirling mass of bodies? Here we discuss...
