About
Just what the internet needed…yet another blog! Even more original…it’s a blog about being a geek! Yes, that’s right…it’s chic to be geek nowadays. But to be fair, we were geek before geek was cool!
Our intention is to bring you a little spot on the web where geeks of all ages, races, genders, religions, orientations, mythical origin, alternated Earths, and timelines can come together, enjoy some news, reviews, articles, interviews and more. We’re hear to talk everything Geek: comics, tv, movies, books, games, animation and oh, so much more!
So…who is GeekSpeak? There are two main contributors to GeekSpeakBlog.com. Would you like to meet them? Well, then…here ya go!
GeekSpeaker
Rocketed to Earth from the planet Geekton, young Geek-Spel watched as his parents were killed while he was simultaneously bitten by a radioactive fly only to learn that he gained no superpowers. So, what was a boy to do? He turned to the world of capes and cowls, losing himself in comics at an age so young, he couldn’t even remember his first comic. Soon, he realized that this was his power…the power of Geekhood. As he grew older, those powers manifested themselves with his uncanny ability to assimilate all things Star Trek, devour hours on hours of geekmade television like Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica (both series!) and, yes…his personal favorite…Xena, Warrior Princess, all while maintaining a vast collection of OUT OF THE BOX action figures (he can still be seen occasionally playing Civil Crisis of the Invasion of the Infite Earths in Crisis in his backyard. Even at 38 he still looks damn cute with his little towel cape!)Jeff Janelle aka GeekSpeaker
Today, GeekSpeaker stands tall and proud…well, actually, he sits short…and kind of round…in an office all day…but he’s surrounded by toys. LOTS OF TOYS! He shares his power of geekiness for all as he fights for truth, justice and the geekdom way!
GeekGyrl
Justine Greene’s first word was “Batman”; so her parents knew she’d never be like other children….this set her on a collision course with all things weird, wacky, strange and unusual. Justine has been an avid reader for most of her life (after all, the first couple years of life were dedicated to eating, sleeping, watching Batman and Star Trek, playtime and more napping.) While she will read almost anything you put under her nose, her heart belongs to the worlds of the paranormal writers. Justine has also been known to put phalanges to keyboard, herself, to spin a tale or two of her own. Justine’s early book crushes were with authors such as Andre Norton; Theodore Sturgeon; Ray Bradbury; Anne McCaffrey; Tanith Lee & Mercedes Lackey. She has developed a lifelong affair with the works of authors like Neil Gaiman; Charles DeLint; Sherrilyn Kenyon; Laurell K. Hamilton; Yasmine Galenorn; Terri Garey; Jim Butcher; Simon R. Green and too many others to name. As a well rounded media geek gyrl, Justine has also been known to lose herself in the worlds of comic book heroes and villains; or wandering Dream’s realm in Gaiman’s Sandman. When seeking filmed fun, a good bet would be on anything quirky, dark, fantastical, or comically romantic. Among Justine’s fave filmed offerings would be Princess Bride; Rocky Horror; the original trilogy; the even numbered Treks; The Devil Wears Prada; Practical Magic and anything involving Wendy and Brian Froud’s designs. And not to forget the telly, Justine used to threaten callers with immolation if they called during Buffy or more recently BSG, and makes similar threats, now, during Dollhouse, Smallville and Supernatural.Justine Greene aka GeekGyrl
When someone is looking for interesting, intriguing or just plain weird bits of tid and whimsy, Justine is always happy to be the go-to geek gyrl.
