6.022 x 10²³. I keep random bits of geeky information, such as Avogadro’s number (the number of atoms in a mole) in my head. If you do too, you may be ready for Geekdad. This daily blog (affiliated with Wired Magazine) is a wonderfully random sampling of things of interest for the tech savvy, sci-fi addicted geeks among us. The broad subject range (Lord of the Rings to cyber security) offers diversion and education alike, with a special focus on geeking it up with kids; geeklets, according to these dads.

When I first looked at Geekdad, I was overwhelmed by the amount of material and the sheer geekiness of it all. It’s written by engineers, software developers, pop-culture sci-fi junkies, and other dangerously over-educated people. Most of the content is geared towards Dad Time, including great movie reviews (including scary parts and great times for potty breaks), cool toys, thorough product reviews, spreading geekiness to your kids (Sharing Geeky Gardening With Your Children) and cool stuff like how bridges are built. Some of the posts are over my technical threshold, but there was plenty of material that I understood and enjoyed, especially the Real Genius reference in the top 10 list for dealing with the recession or alien invasion.

So give Geekdad a couple of tries (the first may be overwhelming) and let your inner Spock frolic. You’ll learn how to survive a zombie attack (physics proves you should go to the mall), find a training wheel for “Geek Generation 2.0″ and see the coolest Lego Voltron ever. But watch out: if you’re like me, you could become an addict.
