No Longer A Teenager

Well, as of 9:07PM Pacific Time, I am 20 years old–no longer a teenager. Still trying to wrap my brain around that one; I’ve been a teeenager for so many years, so I guess it’s something that I’ll get used to. No that it’s really much of a difference. I’m a year older–so what? It’s not like I’m any different than I was yesterday, when I was “only” 19. Sometimes I wonder why our society values birthdays so much. But on the other hand, it’s always nice to have that special day.

Are You Geek Enough?

Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a geek. I am passionate about computers & technology, science, science fiction, and video games. Something else I love is podcasts. I barely watch any traditional television, and never listen to the radio. Instead of force fed garbage, I get quality content and can listen to it on my schedule. When you really “get” podcasting, it changes the way you consume media, and I have been subscribing to podcasts for some time now. One of the things that I happened in my time away from blogging, is going from just a podcast listener to a podcaster. I host my own show called Geek Cred, which covers the whole gamut of geek topics that I love with interviews, trivia, and commentary. I just released episode #4 tonight and I have had a blast doing the show. I have gotten the opportunity to interview some really cool people and to get to know other podcasters who are just as passionate as I am.

So far I have interviewed J. Marcus Xavier from the science fiction podcast audio drama Silent Universe, J.C. Hutchins, author of the podcast novel trilogy 7th Son, Cali Lewis, host of the technology video podcast GeekBrief.TV, and Tee Morris, author of Morevi: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana and Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword.
