The Somewhat Ambitious

Hello children! Yes, as you may have noticed, Nerds of a Feather got a wee bit of a rename under the auspices of Tom and Alex*. Today was the second episode of the new Nerds show, and I covered the following topics:
- I talked about the Book Book, a pretty sweet piece of gear for [...]

Morning all! Thanks for listening to Nerds this morning. It’s a good day when I get to drop the phrase “dunked in a vat of Minotaur semen” on national breakfast radio. In case you’re curious about what was covered on the show, here’s a breakdown:
- I talked about the ultimate Star Wars wedding cake: a [...]

Morning all! I trust you’re all well. If you missed Nerds of a Feather this morning, or if you heard it and want to know what the hell I was blathering about, here are the details of said blather, and what we discussed regarding the blather I’ve just said. …Good god, what an awful sentence.

Yes, today is Nerd Pride Day!* If you’re unfamiliar with Nerd Pride Day, you’re not alone. The burgeoning indie nerd is into the nerd fetishes but typically doesn’t move deep enough in those circles. And the proper geek (I love all of you, by the way) is too busy geeking out to realise such a [...]

Is there anything manlier than flowers?
…According to wikipedia, there are more than eight billion things manlier than flowers, though surprisingly, I’m not amongst them.
