I really feel like I have been wanting to write this for a while, but I don't know if it fits in here on a tech and gadget blog. I like to write about technology, and I think we all know that television is technology's answer to storytelling. Oftentimes, I watch today's television on Hulu, Netflix, or some other online method. Yeah, I don't ever watch television shows on … [Read more...] about Why Television Sucks: It’s the writing

We are experiencing some technical difficulties at The Geek Church!
In case you haven't noticed, you will notice that most of the articles after this one are old. We are talking 2009 old. In tech terms, that is like thirty years ago. Trust me, this is not on purpose, and I'm not going for some month-early April Fool's Joke. So what happened? Well, I had me a problem with some of my WordPress plug-ins.

Speculative Fiction Friday: Wreck It Ralph. Why doesn’t PIXAR do films like this anymore?

CT-S Electric Scooter
I don't know if you saw last summer's Men in Black 3, but there was a scene where their car got crushed and they happened to have two scooters that were essentially one-wheeled vehicles. These vehicles served as interesting alternative forms of transportation when the main one is incapacitated. I suppose the CT-S electric scooter could be viewed like that device, or I … [Read more...] about CT-S Electric Scooter
Tech News of the Day, Friday, November 20, 2009
I'll start with some news from Qualcomm. Not only are they making a color e-book reader (for real), but they are making it so you can attach a game controller on it. Check out this R/C helicopter from Syma. It's got some serious control for indoor use. This is an interesting device for the bed sheet that allows you to tell the time, just by touch. Some of you … [Read more...] about Tech News of the Day, Friday, November 20, 2009
