A True Classic: The Martini

On March 31, 2011, in The Booze Nerd, by Andy Romine

Welcome to another installment of Booze Nerd, dear drinkers. This time, I’d like to talk about the quintessential cocktail — the Martini. Really, no other cocktail has captured the imagination quite like this deceptively simple drink. It’s lent its name to a bazillion pseudo-tinis, most of which have little in common with the original drink […]

Music Review: Stryper The Covering

On March 28, 2011, in Music Review, by Mike Frighetto

Releasing a cover album is a tricky thing. Sure, you don’t have to write the songs, which saves time, but will your fan base like the album if the material is different than your regular works? That is a question that comes to my mind as I listened to Stryper’s latest release called, interestingly enough, […]

Brains Need Brawn

On March 14, 2011, in Fitness Nerd, by Sandra Wickham

I was thrilled when John and Patrick asked me to be the Fitness Nerd columnist for Functional Nerds. I knew exactly what I wanted to write about in my first post. Stereotypes follow all of us around. I don’t think I really have to explain this to fans of the Functional Nerd podcast.  I want […]

Booze Nerd: Tools of the Trade

On February 28, 2011, in The Booze Nerd, by Andy Romine

Now that you’ve decided to try your hand making cocktails at home, the next question is: how do you begin? The first thing is to figure out what drink you want to make. I suggest starting with one or two favorites. Keep it simple. Martinis, whiskey old-fashioneds, whiskey sours, Manhattans, even margaritas. All of  these […]

Music Review: Spock’s Beard X

On February 21, 2011, in Music Review, by Mike Frighetto

The opening bombastic notes of  Spock’s Beard’s latest album, X, almost seem to say, “Hey, we’re back!” After several listens, I believe them. First,  a brief history.  Spock’s Beard released their first album, The Light, in 1995 to a lot of praise in the small progressive rock scene. They followed with five more albums, each […]

Books Received

On February 12, 2011, in Books Received, by Patrick Hester

Hi there! I fully admit that I have struggled to bring proper recognition to this site of the books that we, as The Functional Nerds, receive.  Part of the problem lies in the fact that I can’t have an Amazon Associates ID due to Amazon banning such things in Colorado after a tax was passed […]

Booze Nerd: The Corpse Reviver # 2

Cocktails are cool! After decades languishing under stuffy, grandfatherly reputations or forgotten aside from counterfeit sweet-tinis of all kinds, the classic cocktail has made a major comeback. A new breed of bartender—the mixologist—artfully crafts old standards with the finest ingredients, with freshly squeezed juices, custom infusions and new concoctions designed to delight the palate.
