The other night I had a nightmare involving a plane crash on a desert island and creepy cannibalistic children. So, I took elements of my nightmare and crafted a short story around it.

Google Stadia promises to allow gamers to play the most demanding games in the industry completely over the internet on any Google connected PC, phone, or tablet they already own. This sounds like a wonderful idea, but is riddled with technological hurdles that could cripple user experience.

You are up to 110 times more likely to die in your car on your way to work than you are to be involved in a mass shooting. Despite how driving fatalities dwarf mass shooting deaths, most of us never think twice about getting behind the wheel. It is such a mundane activity that for some of us, driving isn't even top p...

Despite hippies' well-meaning intentions, the ideology behind "Saving the Planet" has been a massive waste of time and mental resources. Arguably, it has set the very act of addressing climate change back by decades. In a tale as old as time, emotion trumping logic breeds the ignorance that hinders progress. Converting science into emotional appeal only breeds misunderstanding and stubborn ignoran...

Despite getting a root canal mere hours ago, I bring you this Midweek Geek to discuss the history and reasons why Americans have not fully adopted the Metric System. It's pretty interesting! https://www.geektherapyradio.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3N1B26VBECNA1QsMXSk3Ig
