Geek Chic
The roots of geek culture can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when science fiction literature, comic books, and early computer technology began to capture the imaginations of young enthusiasts. These early adopters formed tight-knit communities, often meeting in basements or garages to share their passions and discoveries. Despite being marginalized by mainstream society, these geeks laid the groundwork for the cultural revolution that would follow.

The Untold Story of Sir Isaac Newton: Genius, Alchemist, and the Secrets He Kept
Introduction Sir Isaac Newton is often celebrated as one of the most brilliant minds in history. His contributions to science and mathematics fundamentally altered humanity's understanding of the universe. His achievements earned him a place among the most influential people in history, ranking just behind Jesus Christ in the book The 100, published in 1978. Newton was a legend in his own time, knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 and became the first scientist buried in Westminster Abbey—a final resting place typically reserved for royalty. However, behind the accolades and achievements lies a darker side of Newton's legacy that is seldom discussed: his involvement in secretive and controversial research that could have altered his legacy forever.

You're a Bum! But.......You Don't Have to Stay That Way
Rocky (1976) Review You know what movie I haven’t seen in a long time that I want to see now just to see if it was as good as many folks proclaimed it to be? Rocky! The first one. Of course, they’ve done about 1,701 sequels but I’m going to stick with the first one.

Johnny Guitar (1954)
At the weekend, I went to see Johnny Guitar (1954) at the local art house cinema, as part of their season of Women and Westerns. I don’t usually watch Westerns so I only have a passing knowledge of the tropes and conventions of the genre. When they appeared on the TV in my parent’s sitting room, westerns rarely grabbed my attention. I came up with a theory that I don’t like “sandy” films; the colour palette bored me. Same as I’m not good with the over-use of metallic hues in sci-fi.

Renaissance Festival War Stories September 21-22, 2024
Continued from weekend 5... We are down to the penultimate weekend. We are getting tired, but still love what we do. There is an odd mix coming of 'I'm ready for it to be over' vs 'I don't want it to be over.' We keep moving forward, we have no other choice.

Renaissance Festival War Stories September 14-15, 2024
...Continued from Weekend 4 This marks weekend 5 of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. This is where the show gets notoriously challenging: we start running out of energy quicker, I'm missing my husband more, and the weather is fickle. Time to dig deep and find the reserves, because we have a show to do.
