GeekDad: Raving Review: Dark Matter Sentry Microphone by Monoprice

May 29, 2023GeekMom

As an amateur videographer, one of the most consistent and recurrent challenges I have faced has been audio quality. The video quality was quite simple: Just record with my iPad’s back-facing camera. But the sound quality when recording this way is terrible. It is both overly sensitive, picking up noises far and near and excessively […]

GeekDad: Portable DAC/AMPs — The iFi Go Link and Go Bar Are Super Portable Gear for Making Your Headphones Sing

May 27, 2023GeekMom

The magical interplay between music files, the devices they are stored on, and the equipment they pass through to get into your ears is an arcane art that can confound many people. But the first time someone who has always listened to low-resolution audio on earbuds hears high-res music through good gear, it’s like watching […]

GeekDad: ‘The Time Nature Keeps’ — A Book Review

May 26, 2023GeekMom

Those lovely people at Experiment Books are back with Helen Pilcher’s The Time Nature Keeps. It offers a visual journey through the cycles of time in nature.

May 24, 2023GeekMom

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the importance of prioritizing and supporting mental health. I had a whole month of ideas to write on, but I ended up taking most of the month to prioritize my mental health. One of the ways I did that was by using the […]

GeekDad: 10 Things Parents Should Know About ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’

May 23, 2023GeekMom

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks finding my bearings in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. At once a textbook LoZ title and its own thing entirely, it’s a bit of a tough nut to crack—even if my early gameplay experience admittedly gave me a leg up on […]

GeekDad: ‘The Justice of Kings’ by Richard Swann: A Book Review

May 19, 2023GeekMom

A long time ago, back before I wrote for GeekDad, I thought I’d try to write a book. Turns out it’s really hard. Had I written that book it would have been set in a classic “Old World” European fantasy setting, featuring an empire where religion and superstition held sway. The Justice of Kings by […]

GeekDad: Life Skills Summer Camp? Sign Us Up!

May 12, 2023GeekMom

As parents, many of us want to teach our kids important life skills so that, when they leave the nest, they can fly with their own wings. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to keep track of everything they will need to know, especially if, like me, you’re a Gen X parent with one fledgling adult and […]

GeekDad: There and Back Again — ‘The Art and Making of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’

May 6, 2023GeekMom

In the before-times, I went to the movie theater like… twice a year. Once was usually for a big tent-pole popcorn flick—a Marvel movie or something of that caliber—and then maybe again for something niche like a special Fathom Event. Less than halfway through 2023, I’ve already made twice that number of trips to my […]

GeekDad: 8 (Spoiler-Free) Things Parents Should Know About ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

May 4, 2023GeekMom

I’m going to start by breaking from the usual format to say this: Don’t take little kids to see this movie. In all honesty, if my kids were still younger than 15 or so, I would think twice about bringing them to see it, and if they were younger than 10 I would absolutely forbid them […]

GeekDad: ‘Star Wars: Shatterpoint’ Is Coming!

May 4, 2023GeekMom

2022 for me was a year of peripatetic gaming. I tried lots of different games and rulesets, wanting to branch out, having fallen out of love with Warhammer Underworlds. (I’ve since fallen back in love with it again, but that’s a post for another time.) I struggled to find anything that I want to stick […]

GeekDad: Satisfying Stitches and the Joy of Making Tiny Stuff

May 2, 2023GeekMom

When the blasted pandemic hit, I was already going through bereavement. My four-year-old had passed away a year prior, and I could not face being stuck at home for another minute, so I ran all the way to my mum′s country house, 500 miles away from everything. Being stuck in the countryside for months on […]
