Hey All You Geeks Out There...
Over recent years, I've found various sources of entertainment that, while admittedly geeky, I feel worthy of attention, so much that I would like to share them with other people. Thus, I've created this ongoing list of such sources, to be updated as I see fit. Now then, enjoy, my fellow nerdlings!
- Discover Magazine - A science nerd's dream come true! Tons of insightful articles about the latest discoveries in science. My personal favorites tend to be of the neuroscience variety, pretty much anything about the brain. Anyway, if you can't be bothered to order the subscription, you can find plenty of great articles online at http://discovermagazine.com/
- TED Talks - I first discovered this series through my psychology teacher and now am absolutely hooked. In short, TED Talks is a series of lectures on just about everything--scientific news, politics, philosophy, design, etc. I can't promise that you'll find every single "Talk" fascinating, but there's certainly something for everyone, provided they're curious and willing to listen. Podcasts come out several times a week, or you can check out the website for videos and more: http://www.ted.com/talks
- 60 Minutes - As the name suggests, it's an hour-long, in-depth investigation of an interesting topic, whether it be science, people, etc. Always great, always entertaining, it's no surprise that it has won a ton of awards and been around for ages. You won't even know 60 minutes have gone by... http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml?tag=hdr
- Mythbusters - A show that is the geekier but, arguably, more awesome cousin of Ghostbusters. Adam, Jamie and company will use any means to either confirm or debunk myths using empirical experiments, but in a fun way, of course. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/mythbusters/
