I absolutely love Halloween. I love the pumpkins, and the spooky decorations, and the candy. When I was a kid I loved dressing up in the most creative costume I could think of and venturing out into the neighborhood to trick-or-treat with my dad and sister. And as an adult, I love staying in to […]
We had so much fun the first time we joined Louis and James for their podcast that we did it a second time. Head on over to Boldly Going Somewhere and listen as we talk about what it was like to grow up nerdy — and to see how much blonder we all were when […]

Avenging Force is a year old today! To celebrate, we’re doing it the best way we know how: in song! Here are a few of our favorite nerdy selections from YouTube. Both of us are big fans of a cappella and as we’re also both classically-trained musicians (the more you know), we appreciate well-played instruments as […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week we’re talking about robots, artificial intelligence, androids, cylons… all those man-made creations that come with personalities of their own.
