Brain Training Doesn’t Work? A Critique.

You’ve probably seen the newest big headline in gaming: Brain Training Games Don’t Work. I haven’t seen too much of the discussion on this, but I’m sure there are people on both sides of the aisle.

Top Ten Geek Dates

If you are a geek, it is likely that you would be interested in dating another geek. Or more likely, your common geek interests would drive you together. Either way, two geeks on a date opens up possibilities far beyond those of your typical dinner-and-a-movie variety. Therefore, today’s top ten list is a set of suggestions for the best possible geeky dates.

If the person you’re dating doesn’t like these ideas … it’s possibly time to find yourself a real geek! Hey, current couples, you might try these out as date nights too! I still love a good geeky movie night with my sweetie.
