Weekly Geeks: 2009-04

Friday, January 30, 2009

This week's Weekly Geek is inspired by Dewey's Knit-a-Long, a mini challenge of Dewey's Reading Challenge. Dewey had other passions besides reading and blogging. Knitting was one of them. This made me think, what are the Weekly Geek's other passions?


#1. What are you passionate about besides reading and blogging? For example, are you crafty (knitting, woodworking, scrapbooking, model building)? Do you cook? Into gaming (computer or board)? Sports (player or spectator)? Photography? Maybe you like geocaching, rock climbing? Or love attending events like renaissance fairs, concerts? Music? Dancing? You get the idea.



Tell us why you're passionate about it. Post photos of what you've made or of yourself doing whatever it is you love doing.



#2. Get us involved. Link to tutorials, recipes, Youtube videos, websites, fan sites, etc, anything that will help us learn more about your interest or how to do your hobby. Maybe you'd like to link to another hobbyist whose work you admire or tell us about a book or magazine related to your interest.



#3. Visit other Weekly Geeks. Link in your post to other Geeks who've peaked your interest in their passion. Or maybe you might find a fellow afincionado among us, link to them.



For #3, you'll probably have to come back after other Weekly Geeks have posted.



You can really get creative here. Have fun!

I love this one! It's very close to the idea I had for when it was my turn to do WG. But that's okay, I'll do my other idea....

I'm excited to see all the things everyone will share.

That was so much fun! I narrowly escaped starting a new blog about quilting (whew!).

I've got mine up. I actually did two posts this week but only because I just read a book that tied in so perfectly with this theme!
