The Closet Geek is in Wired!

2005-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:00

Hey closet geeks, just wanted to inform you all that Closet Geek Prime (that's me, god I'm a nerd) got to be in a Wired article about videocasting. I'm pretty excited about it.

If you're a wired reader coming here by way of the site then first let me say "Welcome!", I hope you stick around. This show is a weekly show featuring a mix of indie trance, rock and metal music plus discussions of weird topics I learn about on the Internet.

I'd recommend Episode 14 as a starting point since Episode 15 is kind of a strange episode and not representitive of the show as a whole.

2005-10-07T00:52:00.000-04:00

All you Closet Geeks out there might be interested to know that I co-hosted the 63^rd episode of the Gabber JaW show this week. John (the "J" in "JaW") is away on business this week so I cohosted the Gabber JaW show with Wendy, hence the name Gabber BaW.

On the the Gabber BaW show today, we have a co-host from Down Under...Brent from The Closet Geek Show ! Wendy sings a lovely tune. A Canadian's experience in Australia. How much do Canadians love Americans? Parlez-vous francais? The nail salon idiot. Celebrity gossip. Which is weirder...Not having kids after 8 years of marriage, or liking to shove things up your butt? A real-life Norman Bates. The CFL Rough Riders need a raise.

- From the Gabber JaW show notes.
