Honoring Some of Our Favorite Geeks For Black History Month

Michele Foley — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:01:38 PST

We may have Valentine's Day on the brain, but February also marks an important time of the year - Black History Month. In honor of Black History Month, let's take a look at some of our favorite geeks, both past and present. Everyone on this list has made vast contributions to furthering tech as we know it.

Dwayne McDuffie - The recently passed McDuffie wrote comic books for both Marvel and DC (including Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, the Fantastic Four and the Justice League of America) before founding his own company, Milestone Media, which helped pioneer the use of multicultural characters as its heroes.
Mark Dean - Nerd alert! Without Dean, there may not have been a PC - he holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents, leading the teams that developed the ISA bus and the first one-gigahertz chip.
Mae Carol Jemison - It doesn't get much geekier than space travel; Jemison was the first black woman to travel in space.
Philip Emeagwali - We can all blame Emeagwali for our Internet addiction. He developed the fastest supercomputer software in the world. His IQ is too high to be measured by conventional standards, and he's won a Gordon Bell Prize, which is like the Nobel Prize for computer science.

Doctor Who Rewind: "Let's Kill Hitler"

Kelly Schwarze — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 10:30:45 PDT

We're back Doctor Who fans - season six, part two is now underway. Unlike the cliffhanger before the midseason break where we learn the weight of River Song's identity, watch as the Doctor's army is overpowered and the Ponds' child is taken, this episode brings a, sometimes, light-hearted follow-up to heavy topics (such as a kidnapped child) and even more timey-wimey questions that will undoubtedly keep us hanging on the rest of the season.

After watching the episode where do you see the Doctor and his companions headed this season? Were you thrown for any curveballs in the series return? Let's recount some of the biggest moments below!

Quickest use of character - Welcome, Mels, the Ponds' childhood best friend who neither the Doctor nor the audience knew existed. In a flashback, we see that Mels was the troublesome counterpart to Amy and Rory's early friendship and school days. It did feel a bit strange to introduce Mels only to have her quickly regenerate into River Song. Plus one to the Doctor for acknowledging the strangeness of Mels's appearance, "You named your daughter . . . after your daughter."
Episode Red Herring - For a show titled "Let's Kill Hitler," the villain is quite literally pushed aside into a cupboard and forgotten about. Head writer and executive producer, Steven Moffatt, recently said the only way he felt he could include Hitler in any sort of plot device was to mock him and treat him with irreverence. I didn't mind its basic afterthought, as it did serve as the reasoning for the appearance of the Teselecta, the time-traveling justice league bent on taking down the universe's biggest war criminals. After all, the episode's goal is to explain River Song's origins and her journey to becoming the Doctor's trusted confidante. Rory's moment of punching Hitler is a great scene for Rory fans and continuation of the Rory-the-warrior theme.
Timelord to timelord - In previous episodes, prior to knowing her identity, we have seen the Doctor's only match to be fellow time traveler River Song. Despite River's reveal as the Doctor's bespoke psychopath, trained by Madame Kovarian and the Silence to kill him, their quick-witted toe to toe in Hitler's office speaks volumes of their future adventures through time.
