Travel Week: Universal Studios Cinematic Spectacular — 100 Years of Movie Memories

July 3, 2012Dakster Sullivan

Recently, I was given the opportunity to check out Universal Orlando’s latest nighttime show. I’ve never seen an evening show at the park before, so I was looking forward to the experience. My past experience with nighttime shows at Disney, prepared me to fight the crowd and wait for over an hour for a good seat. To my surprise, that wasn’t necessary at all. Unlike the shows at other Orlando theme parks, there are multiple locations along the water front that you can view the show and still have a front row experience.

GeekMom Supports All Hallow’s Read!

October 31, 2011GeekMom

All Hallow’s Read is an initiative we at GeekMom have to support (and not only because we love Neil Gaiman who launched the original idea and explains the concept in a zombie-full video.)

FCC Approves Net Neutrality Order: What Does It Mean?

December 22, 2010Ruth Suehle

So much of what we do today–as moms, and simply as citizens of the 21st century–relies on an open Internet. We’ve really come to take it for granted. Chatting with Grandma over Skype. Being able to stream Netflix through the PS3 after dinner. Getting advice from other moms online. Yesterday’s decision on the net neutrality […]

Heroine T-shirts From ThinkGeek Will Inspire Women and Men Alike

November 29, 2010Jenny Bristol

Because of the way much of history has been written, we know about plenty of historical geeky men. From Copernicus to Kepler to Sagan, from Newton to Einstein to Feynman, and from Babbage to Wozniak, men are very well represented. Well, it is finally time for us women to promote the many geeky gals throughout […]

Waka Waka Waka: Pumpkin Pac-Man Pancakes for Halloween

October 25, 2010GeekMom

One of the things I geek out about is creative cooking, and one of my favorite things to make in the Fall is pumpkin pancakes. Sometimes I add semisweet chocolate chips and sometimes pecans. Every once in awhile I go crazy and make them from scratch. I am always looking for new pancake recipes and even dabbled […]

GeekDad: Three New Pop-Up Books to Make Any Season Spookier

July 20, 2023GeekMom

Recently, a friend on Facebook proposed that, since Independence Day marks the last major commercial holiday between summer and autumn, July 5 is the true start of the Halloween season—at least among true diehards.
