First Travel Post…….

Simon Pegg, fellow geek turned amazing actor once said, “Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. it means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a some what childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.” Well said, Simon. Here at Geek Goes Rogue, we aren’t afraid... Read more

Rob Bell is Youth Group Guy

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:10 pm By Jonathan Ryan

I just got an advanced copy of Rob Bell’s new book, What We Talk About When We Talk about God. Part of the gig is I’m supposed to write a review Here it goes. Note: this will not be a normal, linear review. Given that’s pretty much Bell’s writing style, I figured I’d go with that. I want to offer two disclaimers. This is the first Rob Bell book in my library. I’ve watched a few of his sermons and his Nouma... Read more

3 Gates of the Dead….Lego Sets? Probably not….yet…

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:10 pm By Jonathan Ryan

Well, Rogue fans, I’m about to be a published author. My book, 3 Gates of the Dead, will be coming out in October 2013. The date is to be announced soon along with a teaser at the storyline AND the cover. This book has been a long, hard journey. It was published once, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away. That’s a story for another time. The beauty of it is, I got to rewrite this book, add... Read more

The Zombie (a modern fable)

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:10 pm By Jonathan Ryan

So, “The Eldest” and I participated in a ‘fable” workshop at our local library. The Thurber House, the epicenter of writing in the C-Bus, put on a great class for the kids on how to write a fable. Here is our work: The Zombie By Jonathan Ryan and The Eldest One sunny day, Gorilla and Monkey walked through the jungle. They came upon a human house and didn’t hear any human noises. “What’s going on?” asked Monkey. “I don’t know,”... Read more

Why the next C.S. Lewis MUST be a Geek.

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 8:06 pm By Jonathan Ryan

Today, I had a great conversation with a college student and a campus minister about Geek culture. The student and I became “geek” teachers to my friend. He didn’t really grasp what a geek might be or why it might be important to know. We argued how “geek” is the main language of pop culture and influences more than people comprehend. Three hours later, we realized something important; the next C.S. Lewis needs to be a geek. Allow me to... Read more

They fight….for real justice…… The Justice Rogues

Last updated on: February 20, 2013 at 1:59 pm By Jonathan Ryan

There are lots of reasons I like superheroes. But, if you had to pin me down, I would say the main reason is… I have a burning sense of justice, especially when the weak, the defenseless, and the downtrodden are brutalized. As all of you know, geeks are starting to rule the world. We rule computers. We rule the movies. We rule the whole cultural discussion. We have a lot of power. It’s time we start using that power for... Read more

Lego Sets Versus Literary Classes

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:11 pm By Jonathan Ryan

Someone asked me if I wanted my novels to be taught in literary classes. I responded with a laugh, “No, I want them to become Lego sets.” This came from a conversation with another writer. Obviously, they gave a puzzled stare at my comment. I explained with these points: *First, the only stories that are Lego sets have CRAZY exposure in the realm of pop culture. Two cases in point: Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. These books, written... Read more

Comic Books, Fourteen Year Old Boys and Pop Cultural Snobbery

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 8:06 pm By Jonathan Ryan

I’m almost finished with Michael Chabon’s fantastic novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. If you aren’t familiar with this Pulitzer Prize winning novel, the book follows the tale of two Jewish boys-on-the-cusp of manhood who create comic books during the “Golden Age of Comics” (before World War II and just after). In the later part of the novel, Sammy Clay, the writer of the duo, has to appear before Congress during the 1950’s Great Comic Book Scare. Chabon... Read more

What Minor Star Wars Character should get their own movie?

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 8:07 pm By Jonathan Ryan

Disney announced yesterday that they will be making stand alone films in the Star Wars Franchise. Now, they have announced movies about Young Han and Boba Fett will be the first ones to be made. While Han is a major character, Boba Fett is not. Still, he is one of the most popular minor characters in the Star Wars universe, so it makes sense. That got me wondering: What minor Star Wars character’s should get their own movie and what would... Read more
