I just want to thank my momma for giving me my first Atari and helping me to become the blerd that I am today. While I'm not reminiscing about my early 90's Jansport that had massive amounts of Sharpie art, I'm holding down Editorial/Frontman/Podcast/On-air Personality duties for TheSpawnPointBlog.com and my bi-weekly podcast Spawn On Me.
this site is doing something that needed to be done. Having a safe place for black nerds and their nerdom is amazing and can only foster interesting and awesome conversation.
Neil Tyson DeGrasse because he is the all the things I want to see in the world and had so many personality traits that I want to push forward. Funny, smart and takes no crap. I love that dude.
Mostly through social media and our website. Hopefully via face to face meetups and such.
Probably crying at the end of Transformers: The Movie when Optimus Prime lost the matrix to Hot Rod. Life was never the same...

Being who you are is the best part of blerdom, showing all the sides or your black experience and how they interact with tech, gaming, social media are important not only for non POC's but for other black people who sometimes don't think nerdiness isn't full of dopeness.
Anything from the Metal Gear series, I'm a huge fan and love all the zany bits and pieces of those games.
