The Mighty Jerd 105
Alright loyal readers, it is time for yet another edition of “Get to Know the Mighty Jerd!”
One of my goals for starting this site, in addition to offering geektastic health and fitness advice, was to develop a community amongst the readers.
It’s no fun just talking at you, I want to talk with you. So one of the ways I have been doing that over the past year and a half has been by giving you glimpses into all the things over the years that have contributed to my geeky/athletic self in the hopes you would:
- Get to know me better
and come to trust me so that when I give you the Koolaid you won’t resist - Let me in on what makes you tick
We talked Pong, Mattel Handheld Football, Atari games and Dungeons & Dragons in The Mighty Jerd 101.
I let you in on my undying love of Steve Jackson Games in The Mighty Jerd 102, along with my first PC Gaming addiction (Wizardry) and my favorite arcade games.
The Mighty Jerd 103 was over-run with Hobbits, X-Men and Batman.
I let you all in on what really scares the crap out of me, sharks, in The Mighty Jerd 104.
Today, in another attempt at letting you get to know the jock hiding behind the nerd curtain, we are going to try something a little different just for fun.
Best.Tag.Ever
I have come to find that I really, really enjoy video and sound editing (I never would have seen that coming a year ago). So I am leaning more and more towards trying to balance out writing articles for you fine folks, and sharing my thoughts via YouTube videos.
This one is pretty random, and not meant to be taken seriously at all (except the part about the Robot Apocalypse, that is going to happen… mark my words!) but I thought a light-hearted look into the mind of your good pal The Mighty Jerd would be fun.
Is there anything you want to know about me that I can put into The Mighty Jerd 106?
What about your answers to the Best Tag Ever questions?

Looks like you had a lot of fun with that video. Good luck with getting those haters!
Hah! Thanks… I am sure they are out there somewhere. 😉
Hello Jeff!
I love your vision to bring health and fitness to geeks everywhere! I train with a lot of geeks. Hec, I am a geek. I haven’t stepped foot in a gym in nearly 5 years. But, I do train martial arts at a dojo 🙂
Keep doing what you’re doing!! No more couch potatoes!

Thanks for stopping by!
I love hearing from fellow geeks, especially those who do martial arts! What do you study?
That was entirely AWESOME. First time since Monday that I’ve laughed. Thank you for that! 🙂
You’re welcome!
Love your website, and think it’s fantastic that you are giving us the viewers a chance to get to know you better via everything that you have shared.
Love your video! xx
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you stick around…
That’s all kinds of awesome. Makes me want to try vl0gging. Maybe I will. Then I’ll get some haters, I’m sure.
Thanks for stopping by! I find that mixing up writing articles with doing videos breaks the monotony a little. The time it takes to film and edit a video really isn’t much more than writing one of my long articles…
Give it a shot and let me know where I can watch it!
Hah! I love you. 🙂 Oh, and I seriously remember you going on to someone about test tube babies in math class. I do not, however, remember who, and am dyyyyying to remember now!
😉
So now that we know what your favorite tree is…If the Jerd were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? (thanking Barbara Walters in advance)
Looks like great minds think alike today. I did a post on 30 quirky things about me, not that your things are quirky. Okay we can call them quirky. We are both quirky. Hah
