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!
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 [...]
Sorry… no post today. Too busy playing with our new phones! My wife got the Samsung Reality and I got the LG EnV Touch. We got them for a song through Verizon! See you tomorrow!

When you look at this picture, you’ve got to imagine Ozzy singing “They are Iron Kids…” My ten year old step-son and four year old daughter. Forget Tony Stark, they are Iron Kids!
The internet is truly amazing. Back in February I wrote a post about Slush Puppies and sense memory. In the post I talked about how much I enjoyed drinking lemon-lime Slush Puppies and reading Marvel Saga comics at my mom’s office when I was 13 years old. Well, thanks to the internet I’m reliving my [...]
Have you heard of the term “Sense Memory”? It’s used in acting, but it also refers to the interaction of the senses and the memory, and the ways in which certain sensory stimuli can trigger memories. Have you ever caught the scent of a former girlfriend’s perfume, or heard a particular song, and it unexpectedly [...]
Hey gang! More of an administrative post today. I was hoping to get some feedback from you readers about a change I’ve recently made to the blog. If you look in the right-hand sidebar I’ve added two Twitter feeds, one for comic books and one for Doctor Who (both popular topics here). I thought this [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day to the most beautiful woman in the world… my wife, The Irrepressible Gena.
It’s been a big week for me. Just got back from an amazing 7-day eastern Caribbean cruise. Probably the most fun vacation I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, I’m exhausted from the vacation so today will be very brief. While on the cruise I got to snorkel in some of the clearest, most beautiful water in the [...]
