A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a Monday-Friday 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!
Here is a fun comic-related song by the band Kirby Krackle. Great name! This song is called “Ring Capacity” and is Green Lantern-centric.

Being a geek is considered sexy nowadays (as the underwear above demonstrates). [...]
Last August when John Hughes passed away, artist Cliff Chiang did a brilliant The Breakfast Club mash-up with the Teen Titans.

It’s been a while, but it’s time for more Ookla the Mok today! If you still haven’t tried them, you are really missing out. If you enjoy the kinds of things I post here, than you will love Ookla the Mok. They bill themselves as “Rock Music for Nerds”. Their lyrics are hysterical and speak [...]
Do I really need to say anything else?
Music is not a frequent topic here at ONCE UPON A GEEK, however, the artist known as “LIGHTS” is a fellow geek and her music is definitely worth talking about. She is a 22 year old up-and-coming musician who describes herself as, “a fairly small-sized, Canadian girl who makes intergalactic-electro music”. Her style is very [...]
With Halloween rapidly approaching, enjoy this ghost-themed beat-boxing to help you get in the mood. Dude, he did it in 14 part harmony. Wow! Bustin’ makes me feel good!
