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

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.

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 […]
