Introducing: Sparky
Sparky turned in enough box tops to get his very own author account (but boxes of what?) He's been teaching himself how to cook and not only will he document this experience for you, but he's going to cover whatever other subjects he's currently geeking out about. We'd like to welcome official #3 Weekly Geek fan Sparky to the site.
Good morning internet, It's Sparky! I'm the newest contributor to the Weekly Geek site and our fearless leader Chris has asked me to write a quick introduction to formally introduce myself to the geeky masses. Introductions always do seem a little awkward, so I thought I'd dive in headfirst and present myself in faux-interview style.
What makes you a geek?
If I had to pin it down to something it would be my mildly obsessive compulsive personality. Once I get into something I geek out on it nearly endlessly.
What thinks do you geek out on?
I love technology, photography, video games, cooking, baking, iPhone apps, and (unfortunately) self-created internet memes. Combining these in different permutations can result is greatness and great tragedy. For instance combining photos and baking results in mouth-watering food photography, while combining baking and video games results in ruined game discs and acrid smoke.

What are you top three video games of all time?
Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Brothers 3, and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
If you were trapped on a desert island and could only take one thing with you what would it be?
I'd be immediately tempted to pick the ultimate swiss-army gadget; the iPhone; however given the lack of AC adapters on your average desert island and the short-lived battery ensconced within my iDevice I'll have to go with an old school film camera and a bunch of film. That way if I ever get rescued I'll have a pile of creative photos chronicling my experiences ready and waiting to develop.
How did you meet the Weekly Geek crew?
Last year I was walking home from PAX when I came across Chris, Jinny, and Flynn from gaygamer.net walking back down to the Washington Convention Center for a last panel. I recognized Flynn and ended up joining the crew for a panel, dinner, and some drinks. This began my now year-long obsession with the Weekly Geek and safety gnomes.
Really?
Yes, unfortunately.
How do you feel about Antarticans?
About the same way as the Upright Citizens Brigade feels about Astronauts. Look it up.
Where do you live?
In (sometimes) beautiful Seattle, WA.
How can we get more of Sparky?
Are you sure you want that?
Yes.
