The internet truly has ushered in a new age of information. All the knowledge in the world is at our fingertips. But what can also be a wonderful place of data, information, and the trade of wisdom and knowledge can breed misinformation. In a environment where opinions often trumps facts, and a platform for just about anyone to have a voice (regardless if that voice is qualified, competent, or even correct) our digital landscape is potentially filled with pitfalls.

In this replay Sarah talks about Divergent by Veronica Roth, Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella, and You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day. As always, if you enjoyed the show, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on iTunes or on any app that carries podcasts as well as on YouTube.

If today's jeweler has an arch-nemesis, it has to be the Internet. It's an imposing opponent, a protean, seemingly omnipresent foe offering unparalleled convenience, massive selection, and hard (but not impossible) to beat prices. In this month's episode of Over the Counter, Kyle Bullock, who typically shares stories of other jewelers' most memorable sales, tells the story of one of his OWN memorable recent sales. In this transaction, Kyle faces off against the Internet ... and wins. Trying to serve a long-time acquaintance, Kyle finds himself unable to match the far lower prices available online. The customer's hesitancy to buy from him, despite their existing relationship, shakes Kyle ... and even plants a seed of doubt about his own future in the business. But once he learns more about the customer's backstory, Kyle is able to do something -- and provide a service -- that the Internet never could. You'll learn an important lesson in Kyle's latest podcast, "How the Internet Almost Won".

Being a geek these days is pretty sweet but it didn't always used to be that way. We were shunned for liking certain things and perhaps a little socially awkward. No, you're weird! Thank goodness we have awesome geeks like Felicia Day to help make geek chic. This month we discuss her memoir and share some of our own geeky coming of age stories. We also announce our next book for May; 1984 by George Orwell.Host: Eugene StephensGuest: Jennifer Hetzel, Lanie MooreLike the show?

Our favorite documentaries and non-fiction In this episode: Beej watches a lot of documentaries and has lots of recommendations. Lots and lots. From tech to food to fitness to memoir and personal stories and pretty much everything he geeks out all the time. He. Loves. Documentaries. OMG. Even after we stopped recording, he kept texting Void about all the different documentaries he forgot to talk about. We discuss gaming docs, audiobooks for non-fiction, vegetarian documentaries, tech documentaries, and all sorts of stuff. Beej really gets excited when talking about it because he uses non-fiction and podcasts and audiobooks to take other people’s stories and journeys and explorations into different topics and apply them to his life. Both tend to agree in how awesome and important the information is and love the same topics, but just prefer to get them in different ways. Void, though, tends to look at non-fiction and documentaries in a different way--they’re neat, but he prefers to get the same information from articles and then move on to something else. Weekly Geekery Beej is in full-on prep mode for the Reader Riot book festival, doing TV and radio interviews left and right. Wish him luck that he survives the weekend. This week on Void’s Persona 5 corner, he discusses the awesome music, the battle system and ambush mechanics, how bosses are like puzzles to figure out, and finding palace treasure. PALACE TREASURE!

Muchas veces entramos en el detalle de qué tipos de mujeres nos gustan más. Que si morenas, castañas, rubias... Pero en ocasiones tenemos a las pelirrojas como el comodín. ¿Por qué? Pues no lo sé... pero ese es el tema que traemos para esta semana en SFC. Lluís comienza hablando de una de nuestras pelirrojas favoritas como Red Sonja. Personaje de cómic creado en las páginas de Conan por parte de Roy Thomas y Barry Windsor-Smith en 1973 dentro de la editorial Marvel Comics. Dirk sigue con su apartado de literatura esta semana, y después de caer en el vórtice de YouTube, nos topamos con la omnipresente reina de los frikis, Felicia Day, una pelirroja que no para de deleitarnos con sus parodias del WOW, sus apariciones en Buffy, Supernatural y ahora con la historia de su vida relatada en el confesional You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost). Alex continúa con la película de animación de Pixar Indomable (Brave) de 2012 y dirigida por Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman y Steve Purcell. Y finalmente Isma, con sus videojuegos, habla del personaje de Nariko del juego Heavenly Sword. Exclusivo para PS3, este hack & slash es protagonizado por una pelirroja de armas tomar, cuya voz es prestada por Anna Torv (véase Fringe).

This week, Matt and Quintin have read Felicia Day's book, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), and are confronted with the fact that the internet is a cold, unfeeling place. Like space, but with more kittens and terrible jpegs we all wish we could scrub from our brains. Felicia's pioneering Internet series The Guild leads them to talking about Broad City, Garfunkel and Oates and Melissa Hunter. You'll be glad you made the trip from North Brother Island for this one!

Felicia Day (Geek and Sundry, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Chris bond over their love of all things HGTV, playing Skyrim, and what got Felicia into tabletop games. Felicia also talks about being a woman in the gaming world, what’s new at Geek and Sundry, and her book You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)!

You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) (Touchstone Books) From online entertainment mogul, actress, and "queen of the geeks" Felicia Day comes a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet-stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood. The Internet isn't all cat videos. There's also Felicia Day--violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world...or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.  After growing up in the south where she was "homeschooled for hippie reasons," Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia's misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company, and become an Internet star. Felicia's short-ish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now, Felicia's strange world is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism--just like her memoir. Hilarious and inspirational, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now--even for a digital misfit.Praise for You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost):“It's hard to keep up with Felicia Day.  She's an actress, a gamer, a screenwriter, a songwriter, a producer, a director, a webmaster, a costumer, and queen of the geek girls.   It's hard to imagine where such a prodigy could have come from.  Wonder no longer.  Felicia tells all . . . well, most . . . well, some . . . in her new book.  Reading this is like sitting down and having dinner with her, and hearing the story of her life between the clam chowder and the cheesecake.  I can't imagine a more charming or amusing dinner companion. Felicia is a lot of fun, and so is her book.”—GEORGE R. R. MARTIN “Reading Felicia Day’s memoir is like going on a road trip with an old friend you never knew you had. This is the perfect book to prove you aren't the only misfit in the world, and to remind you that that's a very good thing.” —JENNY LAWSON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened“At last, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) finally reveals the secret origin story of everyone's favorite Geek Superheroine! Felicia Day's new memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It’s the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely--then became a self-made Internet rockstar.  Reading it will make you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself.” —ERNEST CLINE, author of Ready Player One “Smart, brave, emotionally raw, and hysterically funny. This is one of the best books ever written about what it's like to be a human being on the internet.” —LEV GROSSMAN, author of The Magicians“Everything Felicia creates seems to succeed. This book should be no different. It’s a great read–far from ‘horrible’ and worth every ‘Penny.’ See what I did there? It’s a play on…never mind.” —NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, author of Choose Your Own Autobiography and Felicia’s co-star in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog“What’s wonderful about Felicia Day isn’t how much she’s accomplished; it’s what a delightful, real person she’s remained along the way. She is a nerd heroine of the highest order: fiercely honest, refreshingly vulnerable, and unapologetically unique. Felicia kicks major ass.”—AISHA TYLER“I came for the delightful snark, I stayed for the disarming frankness and the hard-won insights about the Internet. Felicia Day uses the Internet to distribute entertainment, but she understands that it's really there to be the nervous system of the twenty-first century.” —CORY DOCTOROW, Founder of BoingBoing.net“You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is exactly like Felicia herself: intriguing, funny, vulnerable, and uniquely cool. If you’ve ever been awkward, ever doubted yourself, ever second-guessed who you are, this book is for you. Reading it is like having the quirkiest, most hilarious, most brilliant person you’ve ever met grab you by the shirtfront and say, ‘HEY. IT’S OKAY TO BE YOU.’” —DEANNA RAYBORN, RITA award-winning and New York Times bestselling author  “Smart, funny, endearing, nerdy and maybe also a little bit brave — in other words, very much like its author.”—JOHN SCALZI, Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Redshirts "You're Never Weird on the Internet is fun, hilarious, and impossible to put down. Reading it is like getting a mega-shot of courage -- to be exactly who you are and no one else, to pursue your dreams fearlessly, to embrace your weirdness and wield it like a superpower. If you want to live a life true to yourself and not what others expect of you, you won't find better inspiration than Felicia Day. If you're not one of Felicia's millions of fans yet—you will be."—JANE McGONIGAL, author ofSuperbetter and Reality is Broken“Math nerd defies physics!  Felicia Day, who is woven from moonbeams, has written a book that seems lighter than air, but that ends up punching you firmly in the emotions.  Felicia lays out a hilarious tale of how her unique upbringing, eclectic skill set, and killer work ethic led to The Guild, one of the pioneering works of online creativity.  In the process, she pulls you inside her delicate skull, so that the final moving chapters aren’t as much read as they are experienced.  An excellent book.”  —JANE EPENSON, writer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once Upon a Time, and Husbands“Day writes charmingly. . . . [She] is delightfully good company and has an interesting story to tell.”—KIRKUS REVIEWS“A super (and superquirky) memoir.”—BOOKLIST“Felicia Day gives us an achingly funny, honest, open look at being 'situationally famous' (I love that phrase), plus the vital art of finding your creative joy, and weathering the storms that follow. It's a wonderful book. Buy it before I grab all the copies.” —RACHEL CAINE, New York Times bestselling author of The Morganville Vampires seriesFelicia Day is a professional actress who has appeared in numerous television shows, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, and Eureka.  However, Felicia is best known for her work in the web video world, behind and in front of the camera.

Aaron is drunk. Brian is eating pepperoni. Books reviewed in passing: Wheel of Time, Felicia Day's You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), Starship Troopers. Big run down on Kim Jun http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/02/kim-jong-un-north-korea-understanding Ernest Cline's Armada is reviewed a bit more in depth. We loved his "Ready Player One" does his sophmore effort live up to his first one? Brian lays down the law on Aaron not watching anything. (note Aaron has still not seen Her) Battlestar Galactica brings up a moral dilemma and growls about the ending. North Korea is goggled at. Can we even really understand what a monarchy really is? Who is NK's leader really? We discuss capitalism a bit and the answer is Google. Digital selves vs real life personas. Aaron's gamertags are either Bluecelt or James Mctaggart ; Steam is geococyx atheos. Brian is olaf berzerker. Always. Sandbox games and our penultimate example Star Wars Galaxies makes another appearance. It always comes back to the Simpsons. Cartoons will always be with us. Awesome video reference. Hey Hey Hey The kids of today are weird and like silly media. Now get the hell off our lawn. Remember picture in picture? 90's kids do.  Commercials can never be topped by this one. Got Glasses? Hulu falls short of Crackle for Aaron because of commercials. Empire Carpet will always live on in our heads, while Eagleman holds our hearts high. We want to hear from you. Please. We don't mean what we said about your mother. She has lovely cankles. Take us out Kim Jon Il.
