		<description><![CDATA[At last week's Comic-Con, your's truly had the unbelievable good luck to get several minutes of one-on-one time with Jewel Staite about her new role as Doctor Jennifer Keller on Stargate: Atlantis. Jewel talks about what it's like being the new kid on Atlantis, compares Dr. Keller to her favorite role, Kaylee on Firefly/Serenity, and how much she hates doing "doctor babble".]]></description>

Her ability to emulate Matt Groening's drawing style is eclipsed only by her ability to capture The Simpsons writers' classic wit (back when the Simpsons was, you know, funny.) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at The Geek Beat, we really like GoDaddy.com. In fact, GoDaddy is our domain and server host. They offer fantastic prices and about as close to 100 percent uptime as is humanly possible for any server provider.

But why a domain and web host services company does these horrible commercials that objectify women, insult their customers' intelligence and aren't even that sexy, is beyond me.

GoDaddy service gets a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter. Unfortunately, we're rating the commercial, which gets a 2 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Garmin gets top marks for doing what may well prove to be the geekiest commercial of Super Bowl XLI. I loved this send-up of those Japanese rubber-suited Ultraman shows from the '70s; the map monster was especially fun.

Unfortunately, as a geek culture purist, I need to knock off a couple points for using an Ultraman look-alike, versus the real deal. Garmin gets a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter for bringing back such fond childhood memories.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite its gravity at one-sixth of the earth's FedEx's depiction of a workplace on the moon seems no less hectic. Everyone's just frantically floating around, drinking blobs of coffee that levitate out of their cups. And that FedEx spaceship for deliveries? Pretty slick. We give this a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, then. Big, fat, gas-guzzling Toyota trucks drive real fast and stop real fast. This is going to come if very helpful the next time I need to drive through a pair of rapidly-closing steel doors, but then stop before I go plummeting into a ravine that just happens to be on the other side.

Until then, no thanks. This stinker gets a 3 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Bud Light commercials go, this one isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. The auctioneer concept is cute and fairly sedate compared to previous Bud Super Bowl efforts. Although, frankly, if the auctioneer had auctioned off, say, the gifts, or even the happy couple, that might have been funnier. We give it a 5 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today marks an important milestone in Geek Culture, one I couldn't let it pass without paying at least brief homage. It was 40 years ago today that a cheesy, low-budget TV show premiered on NBC. A show that would inspire legions of Geeks and leave a legacy of ideas so profound, it continues to influence science, technology and culture four decades later. That show is Star Trek.]]></description>
