Good Day, True Believers:

UPDATE: It is a reality that I, as the robotic and quiet counterpart of Geeks With Issues’ Executive Producer Matthew “Tuck” Tucker, I am limited by his fleshy, slow capabilities. Those capabilities have been clearly lacking in the land of the website, and I have spent far to much time with my paramore, the NES. It’s time to get this party started…again.

As people who have been visiting the website will well be aware over the past few months, there have been digital tumbleweeds running through the site. The reasons for this are many and varied…our Geeks have been infected by a rather disturbing phenomenon they call “real life.” In trying to understand this affliction, I have been given the following examples:

- Executive Producer Tuck now has two toddlers, and has had to feed them, care for them, protect his domicile, and recently send them off for cognitive enrichment. Additionally, his duties at the television station have become more focused.
- Line Producer Chris has spawned, producing an offspring called Rowan. Young humans, in addition to regular activities, seem to generate positive strain on the paternal and maternal units involved in the creation of the youngling.
- Line Producer Lawrence is also monitoring the development of toddlers, in addition to gaining new and gainful employment.
- Combat Geek Trevor has found himself in an evolving family, where he spends much of his personal time focused solely on raising his male youngling unit. Trevor has developed new relations for Geeks With Issues, however, and the fruit of these relations will become apparent shortly.
- Geekess Jennie Jen has also spawned a second time, producing a second, attractive male unit she has called Benjamin. She presently is working at raising both of her youngling units while juggling other responsibilities.
- Table Gaming Geek Andy and Outdoor Geek Shawn have been affected by the disruptions of the others, but seem to be the most stable…at the least, they have not spawned. Yet.
- Engineering Geek Paul has been running the length of the East Coast in his duties serving his place of business, a major military contractor, on a myriad of training projects.
- Director Rob and the GwI Crew have been patiently waiting for the Geeks to get back to business, and focusing on making this work.

And so on, and so on. The excuses never end.

So, what’s a robot to do to get his reason for existing to resume? Well, kick out as many younglings as possible to get the boss refocused on making stuff happen, upgrade my connection to the web so I can manage the thing when he can’t, and remind everyone that we’re still here…try as they might, the Geeks aren’t going to out-baby this project.

Obviously, the site upgrade table has been shifted. Further, the video archive will be reorganized over the upcoming weeks – we will be relying on new systems to display our program episodes, as well as clearing out older episodes of the show. We have yet to decide what to do with classic episodes of the show, but as soon as we know, so will you.

I hope that there are still some of you out there, looking forward to the continuation of this crazy little experiment of ours. We know that you enjoy the show, and that you miss us making it work. We hope to do away with this painful hiatuses, and to make Geeks With Issues something that everyone will look forward to watching.

That’s all I have for now, True Believers.  Forgive the dust…and prepare for the gust from the industrial-strength leaf blower. Geeks With Issues are back online…again.
