Reading: Nerd Links

Our school is on a 4×4 block schedule which means midterm is actually the end of the year for the fall students.  This also means most of my free time was taken up with grading and all that fun stuff.  This is the first time in a while I got to look up some nerd links.
Comic Con inspires East Middle School students: A Missouri school puts on its own comic con complete with student work.  This is a fantastic idea.
Hispanic Cultural Center hold first ever Indigenous Comic-Con:  This con was a showcase for Indigenous artists, writers, creators, and fans. Long time victims of racial stereotypes in comics and other fictional media, this con allowed for Native Americans a chance to tell their owns stories in their own styles.
Bid for Star Wars Religion is Shot Down:  Ok, but can we all agree that Dudeism is one?
The 12 Days of Blake: your New Orleans holiday questions, answered:  This article is very New Orleans-centric.  However, it is fascinating for locals and I think tourists to the city in December as well.  Advent season is my favorite time in New Orleans, even beating out Mardi Gras and football season.

I'm a husband to a woman who is nerdier than I am, and a father to a near perfect child. I am one of the main authors for this website, plus I handle most of the technical aspects (web design, editing podcasts, and videos, etc.) During the day, I'm a Computer Science and African American Studies Teacher. Most of my free time I'm listening to music or podcasts and watching soccer. I love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I'm a horrible gamer yet I game. You can reach me at nolanerdcouple@gmail.com
