Thursday turned out to be a big day for my man Z, of Hipster, please! fame.
First, the Wired blog Geek Dads posted the first episode of his new podcast HipTrax. This new podcast allows Z to spotlight geek groups that geek parent’s can listen to around their geeks in training. The first episode [...]

If you have been contacted by someone claiming to be from MTV, they are actually from MTV and are planning on doing a segment on Wizard Rock for MTV news.
Now though comes the pay [...]

OK, let’s try this again and see if I can post this with out deleting what I wrote.
Here’s a bunch of stuff that’s been sitting in my RSS reader waiting for me to get off my ass and write a post up. Since I seem incapable of that, I’ll just do a little dump [...]
