 Archive for the 'GeekDad' Tag10 iPod games for those who don’t have the TouchJuly 9th, 2009, 11:33 am by Jayson Peters
I am still toiling in the dark ages with my 30GB iPod Classic — what we used to call a “video iPod” Back in the Day. I even installed a new battery rather than upgrade when the shiny new iPhone and iPod Touch came on the scene. Don’t ask me why. Paul’s post describes being pleasantly surprised at Texas Hold’em Poker. I considered simply mentioning it and linking to his story, but then I decided to take it a step further and highlight a bunch of additional iPod Click Wheel games for luddites like me. Each costs $4.99. Here are 10 that caught my eye. Read the rest of this entry » @nerdvana in ‘100 Geeks You Should Be Following On Twitter’May 13th, 2009, 8:21 am by Jayson Peters
So being a geek and a dad, I regularly read GeekDad, a blog at Wired.com dedicated to “raising geek generation 2.0.” The editors and many contributors maintain a tone and style that have influenced me as I ventured into the world of blogging about things like video games and science fiction. (And there’s plenty for you GeekMoms and Geeklets, too.) They were such an inspiration, in fact, that last month when they sought volunteer writers to round out their ranks I considered throwing my hat into the ring. But they got such an overwhelming response that the call for applications was closed before I had a chance to submit mine! Today they have an article by head GeekDad Ken Denmead entitled “100 Geeks You Should Be Following On Twitter.” Intrigued, I clicked through to read more, and discovered that I was already following many of them, with surprising exceptions like Bill Amend of Foxtrot fame and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. These oversights were immediately corrected. But I was delightfully surprised to see my own name (Jayson Peters, “Geek blogger”) and this blog, Nerdvana, sandwiched between Geek Girl Diva (”Geeky blogger and affiliates manager for Entertainment Earth”) and Alison Lunde (”Code monkey and sarcastageek”). Thanks, GeekDads! So there you have it — all the cool people follow Nerdvana on Twitter. And so should you!
