To Geek With Love

We talk about CNN’s geek blog, special geek valentine stuff, Kevin Smith’s new reality program, why artists shouldn’t trust Marvel, the highly suspect social media spread twitching disorder, why Reddit remains one of the better web boards out there, and oh yeah, don’t miss out the tangential Star Wars geek out.
