When Len Peralta, who does the Geek a Week podcast and art, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/badastronomy\/2010\/07\/05\/geek-a-week-18-me\/\">interviewed me for the series<\/a>, he asked if I knew anyone else I would recommend. That was an easy one! I&rsquo;m glad it worked out.. and she wasn&rsquo;t the only person I suggested. Stay tuned.<\/p><p>Len&rsquo;s got quite a few more very cool folks on his list, and I&rsquo;m really looking forward to seeing what he does with them. The trading cards are killer funny and it&rsquo;s always nice to hear what&rsquo;s going on inside other people&rsquo;s nerdy heads.<\/p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/vEZ2svhXV0UISy52JQpj84pwVC8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/0acfe_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/vEZ2svhXV0UISy52JQpj84pwVC8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/a553b_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/a553b_embZhCD71o8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/a553b_bHF8kv17vNY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wonderfulicious Brea Grant is this week&rsquo;s Geek a Week.
