When I first designed the current version of the IAN website, it was with the idea that it would be a sort of nerd blog for nerd news. This was well before it was an audio podcast and years before we revived the podcast as a video podcast.

The site has gone under disrepair and it doesn't make for a good video-centric website. So...I'm going to take the website behind the shed and put a bullet in it's head.


I've decided I'm going to do more than just update the look of the site, I'm going to completely remove the guts.

This part is more technical, but currently I run the website on a CMS system called Nucleus CMS. It has some features I really like, but it feels a bit old and stale now. Recently WordPress 3 was released and I'm pretty interested in what features it brings with it. So, I think I'm going to use that now, instead.


So the site's being updated soon...but we'll still be producing episodes. It shouldn't effect the show as a whole.

This week Walker is joined by new cast member Delaney Anderson to talk about the Norwegian horror movie Dead Snow. Is the promise of a horde of undead Nazi Zombies enough to make this a good movie?

Dead Snow, a.k.a. "Død snø."

Andy, Walker, and Mike attempted to review the new movie Kick-Ass. Many uncooperative elements conspired against us, so this is The Episode That Wasn't. Sometimes the outtakes are the most fun anyway, so here's an episode composed entirely of outtakes. Because we're professionals.

Walker welcomes newcomers Rob and Charlie in a discussion of the all time coolest robots. No, seriously... That's what we're talking about. The show IS called "I Am NERD," and we mean it.

Also, make sure to check out the new webcomic Eldritch by our friends Drew Rausch & Aaron Alexovich. You can't go wrong with violence in the name of science.

Walker and Andy return to nature to discuss Ink and Up in the Air. Which movie did we fall in love with and which did we hate? Watch and find out. Or not... I mean, we're not the boss of you.

Ink official website, including awesome visuals that the film doesn't have.
Ink on Hulu - available streaming! (Not that we're suggesting you watch it.)

Up in the Air official site
Up in the Air on IMDB
Up in the Air: the novel (because this films deserves more links than Ink. Seriously. Way more.)

In episode 31 of I Am Nerd, Andy and Walker venture into the great unknown - outside! We heard that's where they keep the sun and some other stuff. We discussed The Brothers Bloom, a film by Rian Johnson starring Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody's nose, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz, and Rinko Kikuchi. For this episode we also watched and then nominally discussed The Fantastic Mr. Fox, one of a handful of films by Wes Anderson. Anderson is best known for his subdued, dry humor and his uncanny ability to feature at least one of the Wilson brothers in each of his movies.

This episode was filmed in historic downtown Sanford, FL - not because Sanford is particularly awesome, but because the Apartment of Solitude (i.e. I Am Nerd Headquarters) was unavailable.

On this week's rockin' episode of I Am Nerd, Walker and Ed discuss Walker's Geek Challenge: listening to pop music.

The Cardigans – Gran Turismo
Coldplay – A Rush of Blood to the Head
Amy Winehouse – Back to Black
