Geek Goes Rogue

Welcome to my inaugural post on Geek Goes Rogue. As posted, I am Kim, the Rogue Geek Tech Editor.  Technology is an ever-changing modality that can often come back upon itself.  It is my hope to provide interesting, pertinent and up-to-date information that will give you radical street cred among other geeks. Without further ado, let’s jump in. One of the strongest memories from my childhood is reading an issue of Popular Science at a relative’s house.  Each page was an exploration into … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone, As I keep promising, we are going to keep adding features here on Geek Goes Rogue. In the next few weeks, a bunch of cool writers and editors are going to be joining us. Can't wait for you to meet them all. To that end, allow me to introduce Kim Upton, our new Geek Tech Editor. When the word geek still meant a freaky circus performer, Kim Upton was falling in love with the fascinating world of technology. At age 11 she befuddled Radio Shack employees by creating a program … [Read more...]

(Hey everyone, as you know, I'll be attending the press junket for the movie, The Conjuring. We will be posting a lot of content about horror, faith, movies and books leading up to the event. It's going to be fun and exciting all around.  To start it all off, I'm reposting an article I published in TAPS Paranormal Magazine entitled "Sacramental Horror".  As the copyright on this has reverted back to me. I'm re-posting with my own permission.)                               … [Read more...]

The years of 1977 and 1978 changed my life. The two greatest movies of my childhood came out; Star Wars and Superman. These spectacles made me want to tell stories for a living. There are more than enough Gen X'er nostalgic pieces about Star Wars. However, I've seen very few about Superman. While this meant seem unusual, we forget superhero movies used to be off limits in Hollywood (some people still wish they were). For example, Stan Lee almost went broke trying to get Marvel into the … [Read more...]

....every poet is a thief..." I'm not sure if you've been following the Prodigal Sam controversy. Prodigal Sam is a campus minister down in South Carolina, and has over 100,000 followers on Twitter by posting some pretty hilarious Tweets. As it turns out, some of them are riffs on other comedians stuff. Was he stealing? Was he borrowing? Who cares, you ask? Especially considering Tweets aren't exactly "Intellectual Property" like, say, a comedy special or a written book? Silly people, … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone, Every Tuesday night, we're gonna post comics we're looking forward to reading tomorrow. So, let's get cracking.....   Green Lantern #21  In case you missed it, GL #20 is sold out. You can't get it anywhere. My agent and friend tried to get it in Louisville this past weekend. It was an amazing and beautiful end to Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. Now, we have the creative team of Robert Venditti and Billy Tan. They have very large shoes to fill. In case you … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone, We're back on Geek Goes Rogue and, we're no longer on the Evangelical Channel here at Patheos. Instead, we're on the Movie Channel and we think that's a better fit. So, to give you a sense of our new direction, we're going to keep our "editorials" on all things geek related. But, we're also adding some new wrinkles such as reviews, more interviews and Geek news. To that End here is our  first news item. DC Comics is hosting "Villains" month for all their New 52 … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone, We took a bit of a break here at Geek Goes Rogue. Essentially, we're trying to re-imagine the blog a bit. Next week will be the beginning of our (Semi) new direction. Now, many have been asking about my writing and all the different stuff I'm writing at this point. Here is the up to date skinny: Novels: 3 Gates of the Dead is going to be published October 15, 2013. It is not just an e-book, but a regular book as well. You can get the run down at my website.        … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone, Starting on June 1st, I'm going to be running a "Tell Your Scary Story" contest over on my Facebook page. It'll go right up to October 15, the day 3 Gates of the Dead will be released. So, what's the contest? Simple. 1) Go over to my author Facebook Page 2) "Like it" 3) Tell me the scariest thing that's ever happened to you on the page and post it. 4) Every month, starting in June, I'll be picking the top five to post here on Geek Goes Rogue. 5) One lucky winner … [Read more...]

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a huge Daredevil fan. The current run by Mark Waid is telling some of the best "Man Without Fear" stories we've seen in awhile. (Spoiler Alert) But, I want to focus just on one aspect of issue 26 and it doesn't have to do with Daredevil. At least, not directly. In the current story line, Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock's best friend and law partner,  is battling cancer. At the end of issue 26, Foggy hangs out with a bunch of kids, who have the same type of … [Read more...]
