Derby skaters love their gear. Wheels (mostly). Boots. Plates. Shoestrings (you read that right). Pads. But with all the different products in the derby market, it can be hard to know what gear is the right fit (both in intended use and literal fit). Thankfully here in Indianapolis we have Vital Skates

I’m loving this 90 degree weather. Even though I grew up in the midwest, I’m a warm weather gal. Give me the Cali sun year round and I’d be happy. Windows open, Burn Notice reruns, and I have all I need to spend a day making paper orchids for wedding decor. After

“It’s Betty and Veronica meet Breaking Bad. But With baking.” That’s how Jackie Crofts described Nutmeg ]to me at Indy Pop Con. It’s a tagline that certainly got my attention. Nutmeg is set in a high school, where we meet Cassia, the new girl at the school. We also meet her soon-to-be

In the past 5-10 years, cable networks have changed the playing field for how a tv season works.  A show no longer needs to premiere in the fall, or consist of 22 episodes like on major networks.  A cable show can premiere literally any time of the year, and generally consists of

Conventions are a magical place, where all things geeky and nerdy are embraced. Where you can be weird and not be judged for being weird (at least not by other con goers). It’s a special kind of freedom we don’t always experience in the real world. But with great power comes great

Editor’s note: Citybox provided PureGeekery with a box of goodies to review at no cost. Part of what I love about attending local geek conventions is discovering awesome new things in the area. As much as we all complain that Indy is boring, there’s really a lot to do around here if

NOTE: Spoiler-free review! For quite some time now, rebooting old movies and tv shows has been all the rage.  For the most part, I think they miss much more often than they hit.  21 Jump Street shocked me at how funny it ended up being.  The sequel, 22 Jump Street, delivers just

It’s summer, which means women’s bodies are the topic of conversation yet again (although really, they always are). Most recently, we’re talking about the body of Mekayla Diehl,  aka Miss Indiana. She’s broken the typical beauty pageant mold and has a closer-to-average body type than beauty contestants. But we’re not calling her average.

Although cost is no guaranty of quality, when an audio company has floor speakers going for $1,999.95 (each; if you want stereo sound, it’s going to cost you a down payment on a car) and there’s no celebrity endorser (*cough* Beats *cough*), it’s a fairly safe bet that they know their stuff.

NOTE: This review is relatively spoiler-free, touching on details that were found in trailers and commercials. AMC has been heavily promoting Halt and Catch Fire for months, especially during episodes of Mad Men.  From the commercials, they make it very clear that it’s about a group of three people who set out to reverse
