Sharing is hard and a difficult lesson to teach little geeks. But what happens when big geeks forget the very lessons they are trying to teach? Am I just a big kid or do I have legit beef and my feelings are justifiable? According to my wife, “kinda”. Clearly, there is an issue to solve here, including my own. Luckily, for every issue there is a solution, and in regards to my iPhone, I found one. Continue reading
Unless you have not been paying attention, you know very well by now that Father Geek is all about sharing our geeky passions with our children. We have also said, time and time again, that it is never too early to start doing so. Case in point, my recent visit to see my family in Washington. Continue reading
If you have not had the opportunity to participate in a White Elephant Gift Exchange, many would consider you lucky. I have participated in many a gift exchange thanks to working for a large international corporation with employees from many different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Since the White Elephant Gift Exchange is a silly little game at its core, it stands to reason that you could improve it, which someone did. Continue reading
Taken as a whole, it is simply incredible how many creative people are bent over their keyboards and devising ways to chuck dice and get treasure using pen and paper. If we could get even half of them to focus on world peace, I doubt we’d have wars in 20 years. And while that might sound like an unobtainable goal, I think it is well in bounds to suggest that the games listed will allow me to taste the thrill of the dragon hunt once more! Continue reading
My wife and I were of the same mind in regards to how television would not play any role in the upbringing of our children. We were high on our mighty horse and pontificated the benefits and righteousness of only using art, literature, and music to stimulate and accelerated the rapid growth of our children’s minds. Three children later and I now know better. Continue reading
Father Geek was invited to attend a Daddy Blogger “behind the scenes” tour of Walmart’s and P&G’s 8th and newest Family Movie Night film! I was given access to the movie set location, the crew, and and the actors. The experience was incredible and I am very happy to be able to share it with you! Father Geek goes Hollywood! But don’t worry, we won’t let it go to our heads…much. Continue reading

Good gravy, what rock have I been under for the last 2 years?! This video was released in 2009? And I missed it? Was I asleep that entire year or something? I blame my friends for not telling me about this. Blame and scorn them. YOU HAVE BEEN SCORNED! Continue reading
The New York based comedy troupe, The Whitest Kids U’Know, created a highly entertaining commercial spoof for a non-existent board game. I have watched it many times and for some reason or another never shared it. The video shows the worst game ever to not be created (thank goodness). Continue reading
Today’s games come in different degrees of quality. Some components are very solid and durable with rich colors and designs. Some come with pieces made out of wood, metal, or plastic. I can say without fear of provocation that the game industry simply does not make them like they used to, which is a real shame. Continue reading
