YouTube is promoting a “Geek Week” event this week. All week YouTube will be showcasing contributors who discuss geek interests or have become geek interests (like Freddie Wong). I probably should have posted this Sunday but I didn’t find out about it until late. A quick search will find the videos promoting the event so if you miss (any more) days you can find out who was promoted and still check out their work. Enjoy.
For an alternate look at the history of the terms “nerd” and “geek”, also check out this video by MovieBob over at The Escapist.

Instead of a regular strip this week and next shows off another series of business card gag strips. At the top you see the new design for the cards although I want to do some minor work for the next set, like adding my Twitter handle. Enjoy the bits.
More convention footage and hopefully another commentary are coming up so prepare for another week.
So this year’s Brass City Comic Convention was a bit longer, but maybe a bit too long. There was a decent showing early but by late in the evening there weren’t as many people around and everybody started going home early, costing me a panel I was looking forward to about print vs. digital media. Still, despite being a shorter convention in a smaller venue I still managed to take a walk around so here’s what you missed.
