Speak, Nerd, and Enter!
Your new post to discuss anything you’d like that we’re not already covering on The Nerdy Bird! What else is happening this week…
Would like to get a few more opinions on this if you don’t mind. Been looking at doing an entertainment news show for a while and would like to light a fire under my ass.
If I were to produce a weekly nerdy news video show, what day makes the most sense to release it? Instinct says Friday but only if early.

I had a great idea recently.
I just had a great idea… what if… Shannon Purser returns to Stranger Things as Barb's cousin? pic.twitter.com/VLKgDuq4CB

Horooy, because a 78-year-old Indy is totally something audiences are clamoring for!
Discovered an awesome disability-focused comic con!… right after it happened, as per frikkin’ usual. http://crippingthecon.com/
And I posted this over on The MotherShip already, but I’m still inordinately excited so I’ll share it here—I designed a steampunk Walkman for the ’80s-themed steampunk symposium I’m headed to this weekend: https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/26/10/09/img_0210.jpg
Shouldn’t it have been a phonograph?
Maybe technically, but that would have been a whole lot harder to make and a whole lot less visually interesting. Besides, my costume includes a mini griffon in a bowler hat perched on my shoulder, so historical realism is kinda out the window at this point… ;)
Holy cow, steampunk Walkman!
Oh man, you just reminded me I totally spaced and never bought Heroine Complex. And since it topped my list last year, I apparently didn’t buy any books? All last year? That makes me sad (and my still giant ‘haven’t read yet’ pile even sadder). I guess I can look forward to having two now whenever I get around to them :(
As far as a show I’m… not sure about Friday mornings. I feel like Friday tends to be nerd news dump day so you’d inevitably wind up a week behind others on stuff (which won’t matter to those of us here but if you want to expand your audience…) so I don’t know. Monday? Wednesday (though if I’m right is only marginally better than Friday)? I don’t know, I am no help.
My book reading has been TERRIBLE the last few years. Work was always keeping me so busy and at the end of the day of reading things online, the last thing I wanted to do was read more text. It’s frustrating.
Thanks for the input!
I remember thinking in high school that as soon I was out of that mess I’d read whatever I wanted. And then in college I promised myself that as soon as I was out, I wouldn’t stop reading to eat. Now I’m, like, man, remember all the reading I used to do in high school? Those were the days…
Yep. If I didn’t have a long commute and audiobooks, I’d barely read anymore. I used to check out the maximum number of books from the library every week, and finish one of them before the day was over! I used to devour them!!
Same! The commute has given me a chance to catch up a bit, but audiobooks aren’t cheap and I’ve mostly done away with my piratical habits.
Check and see what your local library is doing–for the price of a library card I have access to hundreds and thousands of audiobooks. (it’s basically a regional pooling together of libraries so I have to compete with a lot more than just my local library’s nerdy membership to get to most of them… but well worth the wait)
Nooot a bad idea at all. Thanks!
