This Thursday, we will be recording episode 27 of the New York Geekcast, “Media Overload”.
We’ll be discussing how there’s way too many games, movies, shows, books, and albums that we’re trying to find time to play, watch, watch, read, and listen to. That is, if we can decide which of the dozens of multimedia players out there we want to consume this media on.
If you’ve got questions or other remarks on this episode, either leave us a comment on this post or shoot an e-mail to thegeeks@nygeekcast.com. Or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks!
Here’s something we’ve mentioned on our Facebook fan page but not on the official site yet…

An article posted over on Examiner.com relates the passing of Sheldon Dorf, who founded what we know today as the San Diego Comic-Con.
“Why Shel Dorf in a menswear column? Because without his 39 year devotion to all things comics-related, comic books, and all the character-driven merchandise spawned therein, very well could have remained a disposable and passing childhood obsession instead of blossoming into the multi-billion dollar, cross-cultural market force that it is today.”
If my Halloween costume doesn’t give it away to you all, I am a huge fan of Carl Sagan, noted scientist and Geeky Idol. November 9th would have been his 75th birthday.
To that end, people are spreading the word on the first annual “Carl Sagan Day”, an event which is being promoted mainly by folks at Broward College in Florida, and will take place tomorrow, November 7th. I guess you could call this “Carl Sagan Day (observed)”.
“To celebrate the man, his work and the awesome wonderment of science, Broward College in Davie, Florida is hosting the first ever Carl Sagan Day tomorrow (Saturday the 7th). If you’re in that area, they’ve got a whole day’s worth of activities going on—from planetarium shows and stargazing, to a “Cosmos” marathon, to appearances by Bad Astronomy blogger Phil Plait and James “The Amazing” Randi (who was a personal friend of Sagan’s).”
He was an awesome guy, and deserving of this recognition. I think I’ll spend Carl Sagan Day, or at least part of it, curled up with the Cosmos companion book (pictured). What about you?
If you haven’t already done so, please head on over to Threadless and vote for our own Nelson Diaz’s T-shirt design submission, entitled, “Animal Lover“.
In this very low-key episode, the Geeks hang out at Andrew Roberts’ abode, review “Drag Me to Hell” by Sam Raimi just in time for Halloween, talk about Big Apple Comic Con ‘09, and more. Also featuring our interview with Joe Madureira, comic book writer/artist and creative director on the new “Darksiders” game for PS3!
The New York Geekcast is hosted by Nelson Diaz and David Pagano. These two self-proclaimed nerds (along with their friends) cover anything and everything dorky -- movies, music, comics, video games, television -- while bringing a unique New York sensibility to it all.
