What I'm Geeking Out About This Week - 01/24/14

Good tidings to you all! Here is what I'm geeking out about this week!

Let me just start by saying that I love this show and have loved it for it's entire run thus far. It always seems to be on the NBC cutting board but nevertheless, all the passionate fans seem to get their way every year. I don't have a problem with this at all. It's a unique, quirky, smartly dumb show that I enjoy watching every week. This season that has been on for a few weeks now is sort of "rebooting" the show which is interesting to watch. It mostly feels like the same old Community but there are some major changes happening so I'll probably post again about how the season ends. Check out the entire series on Hulu Plus if you're a subscriber.

This app is a brilliant tool to help keep your mind sharp. It has a variety of brain games such as quick math problems and memory puzzles. It's a free app for your smartphone and you can pay for premium access. I have found it very useful to help me center my mind more as I have a lot of work ramping up now with the semester starting.

I recently posted about this excellent podcast on Socialnomics and got an email from Chris and Jon thanking me for the shoutout. It felt really awesome to be noticed and shown gratitude so I'm just echoing my praise for their content and their attentiveness to their community of listeners. They interview big names who are putting out big ideas for life, leadership, and work like Daniel Pink, Seth Godin, Tony Hsieh, Brene Brown, Drew Dudley, and many more! Take a gander at their library of over a hundred episodes and subscribe to never miss an episode!

So, what're you all geeking out about? Leave a comment and reach out! Have a great week, everyone!
