A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
By day, The Irredeemable Shag plays the part of a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. By night, he is a frightening creature that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals!
... or ...
maybe The Irredeemable Shag managed a comic book store for four years, and a movie theater megaplex for three years. Nowadays he's just a really vocal geek on THE UNIQUE GEEK, a semi-regular on the VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX podcast, and runs the ONCE UPON A GEEK and FIRESTORM FAN blogs.
You decide...My sincerest thanks to Serv for what he’s doing this morning! His efforts (and those of the team assisting him) are greatly appreciated by all THE UNIQUE GEEKS! Here is a token of my appreciation, buddy. If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click here. If you are feeling a little more metal, [...]
Yesterday I posted several items I received for my birthday, including a TARDIS Cookie Jar. Today I’ll be covering the awesome geek-related t-shirts I received! This first shirt came from my four year old daughter, the Precocious Princess. She knows her daddy loves Star Wars so she picked out this shirt for me! I love [...]
I was totally overwhelmed and touched by all the birthday wishes I received last week! My thanks to all of you that sent messages through Facebook, ultimately bringing the social networking goliath to its knees on Thursday. I was on the road for work on my actual birthday, but I was able to catch dinner [...]
Dragon*Con, my home away from home. I believe this was my 10th appearance at this convention and it was definitely one of the better ones! Attended lots of panels, hung out with my friends, met some celebrities, drank far too much, took over 600 photos, and generally had a great time. Sometime in the near [...]
Our home air conditioner broke this past weekend. It was 84 degrees inside my house at midnight last night, so trust me when I say that 84 degrees may be warmer than you think. I live in Florida. During the summer, we as a people spend most of our days inside air conditioned buildings, or [...]
Say hello to my new Jeep! I’ve been driving a tiny little Saturn for the last ten years, slowly saving and planning for my next vehicle. After a long decade in what my wife called “The Golf Cart”, that time has finally come! This is my brand new 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport edition! The [...]
You may have noticed the countdown timer in the upper-right hand corner of ONCE UPON A GEEK. This is counting down my arrival at Dragon*Con 2010! We’re about 28 days away and it can’t get here soon enough! Over on THE UNIQUE GEEK, they’re doing their own version of a countdown called 40 Days Of [...]
Folks, I owe a tremendous thanks to my fellow blogger, Scraps! I was experiencing a problem with my new WordPress theme that I simply couldn’t fix myself. She offered her assistance and worked through the code with me. She found the bug and told me exactly how to fix it. THANK YOU SCRAPS! You’re my [...]
An update on some web site administration today. Some of you may have noticed that ONCE UPON A GEEK looks a little different today. The changes were cosmetically minor, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t see a difference. While the changes will seem minor to you, they are tremendous to me! Ever since I [...]
I hope all the geek-dads out there had an awesome Father’s Day! Mine was fantastic and lasted the whole weekend! Had some good solid family time, got to wander the aisles of a bookstore at my own pace (one of my favorite things to do!), ate an enormous Sonny’s BBQ feast for dinner Saturday, watched [...]
