The latest “The Manga Guide To..” series brings us the universe. This is the second book from the series I have reviewed and I was looking forward to how this will encompass the vastness of the universe as a topic.

“The Manga Guide To…” series has been reviewed before, but this time we hit the topic of relativit­y. This being a lazy Sunday afternoon, I had several options. Play StarCraft 2, watch anime or put my brain into gear and see how much information I can absorb. I chose the latter, and this being a [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/set/science/book-review-the-manga-guide-to-relativity/feed 1 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/comic-review-brimstone-and-the-borderhounds-not-for-the-squeamish http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/comic-review-brimstone-and-the-borderhounds-not-for-the-squeamish#comments Fri, 15 Apr 2011 09:00:46 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=18939

What is Scanlation? If you are a manga fan, then you will be aware of “scanlations“. This is when you take a Japanese manga, scan the pages, and then translate them for a western audience when there is no licensed English translation. There are literally hundreds of fangroups doing this kind of activity, and it [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/manga-scanlations-how-why-is-it-right/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/live-comic-con-freestyle-conversation-jennifer-stuller http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/live-comic-con-freestyle-conversation-jennifer-stuller#comments Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:30:58 +0000 Kate Kotler http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=15672
Jennifer Stuller, author of Ink Stained Amazons, is one of the coolest people (if not the coolest person) I’ve met in 2010.

If you look up the term “geek girl” in the dictionary, you’re likely to see a picture of the lovely and talented Kari Byron (from the Mythbusters Build Team) next to the entry.
