Reply

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr) The trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One dropped while ago.  Much to my surprise it intrigued me – a Star Wars heist movie.  Just as I felt TFA was flawed and cautious, … Continue reading →

I miss Evangelical Geekery. Oh not geeks that are Evangelical Christians. I miss the geek who preaches about this great comic or great program. I miss the person convinced this anime will turn you into an anime fan and it’ll be … Continue reading →

Geeking Out To A Better Diet

Posted on January 5, 2015 by Steven Savage
Reply

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into some preachy tract on healthy eating or how I “found” the latest diet fad. I’m pretty tired of food-as-religion-of-the-day myself. No, this is basically how my geek inclinations helped me get healthier, … Continue reading →

Geek Downshifting

Posted on November 24, 2014 by Steven Savage
Reply

Downshifting is a term I’ve heard thrown around now and then, and not in the automotive sense. The basic idea is to adjust lifestyles to be slower, balanced, more meaningful, and less consumer driven. It’s not something that seems to have … Continue reading →

So, as I’ve been writing on Geek Citizenry, I’ve been focusing on areas we can be good citizens, and areas that we as geeks (both in general and as that ephemeral mass of geek culture) can improve in as citizens. … Continue reading →

Geek Job Guru: Full Management Alchemist

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Steven Savage
Reply

It’s time we have The Talk. OK, that admittedly isn’t clear, which is the point because this is a lame attempt at humor before a serious situation. This is The Talk about Management. It’s probably not what you think. That, … Continue reading →

Geek As Citizen: To Teach

Posted on November 8, 2013 by Steven Savage
Reply

Last week I discussed how we Geeks should work to archive, organize, republish, and propagate our works – and really to encourage people to do something with what they write (or at least the good stuff). Now back to my … Continue reading →
