# Geek.com

Geek.com is a technology news weblog about hardware, mobile computing, technology, movies, TV, video games, comic books, and all manner of geek culture subjects. It was founded in 1996 and was run independently until 2007 when it was sold to Name Media, after which it was sold to Geeknet, and then to its current owner, Ziff Davis.

## History

Geek.com was founded in 1996 by Joel Evans and Rob Hughes. Joel's brother, Sam Evans, was soon added as the site's chief editor. The site was founded as the Ugeek newsletter but soon became a larger online portal with multiple different sections, including JobGeek, GameGeek, PDAGeek, and ChipGeek. Among the site's many early successes was Ugeek.com's popular Processor Archive.
In March 2007 Geek.com was sold to NameMedia, a company that specializes in domain name reselling and parking. NameMedia had recently acquired Philip Greenspun's photo.net and was building out its Enthusiast Media Network, where Geek.com would be the lead technology site. After the acquisition Rob Hughes and Sam Evans left the site, though co-founder Joel Evans stayed on in his role as Chief Geek. Soon afterwards the site's mobile analyst Matthew "palmsolo" Miller left the site and started writing at ZDnet's Mobile Gadgeteer blog.
In mid-2007 Geek.com underwent a major redesign, moving away from the platform that it had used since 2001, and did away with the subportals, like PDAgeek.
In August 2007 NameMedia acquired XYZcomputing.com a computer hardware website and hired its founder, Sal Cangeloso, to be the site's Senior Editor.
In May 2010 NameMedia sold Geek.com to Geeknet for $1 million. Cangeloso, who had been promoted to Editor-in-Chief when Joel Evans left at the close of 2009 stayed on board in the same position.
The troubled Geeknet sold Geek.com to Ziff Davis at the beginning of January 2011 for an undisclosed amount. Once again Cangeloso stayed on, as did longstanding News Editor, Matthew Humphries.
In 2016, Geek.com was significantly retooled under a new staff, consisting of Editor-in-Chief Chris Radtke, Managing Editor Sheilah Villari, and Senior Editor Jordan Minor. Along with a visual redesign, the site expanded its focus to broader geek culture topics like technology, gaming, movies, TV, and comic books. A new team of freelancers was brought on board to carry out this vision, including YouTube film critic Bob "MovieBob" Chipman.
At the end of 2016, the site hosted a five-hour Facebook "Gifted and Talented Show" made up of sketches and holiday gift suggestions. One notable article, an explanation on the lies surrounding the cartoon Street Sharks, went viral on sites like Vox, The A.V. Club, and Gawker.
As of December 2023, the site was updated to show a message announcing it's "taking a break at the moment". It also links out to three other Ziff Davis brands as recommended alternatives.
# Theodosius the Deacon

Theodosius the Deacon or Theodosios Diakonos (Greek: Θεοδόσιος ο Διάκονος) was a Byzantine poet who lived in the 10th century. He is known only through his The Capture of Crete (Greek: Ἅλωσις τῆς Κρήτης, in Latin: De Creta capta), an epic poem in 1039 twelve-syllable lines, written in 962/963 to celebrate the recapture of the island of Crete from the Arabs in 961 by Nikephoros Phokas.

# Coundon Gate

Coundon Gate (also known as Coundongate) is a small village in County Durham, in England. It is situated between Bishop Auckland and Coundon.
# Yiannis Dyovouniotis

Yiannis Xykis (Greek: Γιάννης Ξύκης; 1757–1831), more commonly known as Dyovouniotis (Greek: Δυοβουνιώτης), was a Greek chieftain in Roumeli and a hero of the Greek War of Independence.

## Early life

He was born in 1757 to Triantafyllia and Kostas Xykis, at the village of Dyo Vouna in Phthiotis. At the age of 13 he saw his father getting hanged by the Ottomans, an event which had a decisive influence on his life. As a teenager, he went to the armatoliki of Andrikos Verousis and became his henchman.

## Greek War of Independence

In 1770 he participated in the Orlov Revolt against the Ottomans.
In 1820 he joined the Filiki Eteria and since then he started to lay the groundwork for the beginning of the revolution in Central Greece. Around the same time he met with Athanasios Diakos who decided to halt the Ottoman advance into Roumeli by taking defensive positions near Thermopylae. During this battle (Battle of Alamana) Dyovouniotis defended the bridge of Gorgopotamos. However, the battle was lost and Diakos was impaled.
After the catastrophe in the Battle of Alamana, Dyovouniotis was called by Ali Pasha of Ioannina to serve him. However he refused, resulting in Ali Pasha kidnapping his son and holding him hostage. His son somehow managed to escape, but was then captured again, this time by Hurshid Pasha. Despite the kidnapping of his son, Dyovouniotis headed to Gravia and took key positions in the fierce battle which took place on 8 May. After the end of the battle, he called on the chiefs to close the passage to the Vasilika of Boeotia, believing that the Ottomans would seek to pass through that point. On the eve of the battle, Hurshid Pasha was forced to exchange Dyovouniotis' son with an Ottoman soldier who had been taken hostage by the Greeks.
His most important contribution during the Greek War of Independence was his intelligent plan to intercept the army of Beyran Pasha at the Battle of Vasilika on August 26, 1821. Dyovouniotis, along with other chieftains of Roumeli, waited for the army in the straits of the village and literally decimated it. The victory in this battle thwarted the Ottomans' plans to strengthen the besieged Tripolitsa and destroy the Greek Revolution. At the age of 65, he was forced to resign from the command of his military corps and was awarded the honorary title of general.

# Anton van Wouw

Anton van Wouw (27 December 1862 – 30 July 1945) was a Dutch-born South African sculptor regarded as the father of South African sculpture.

## Biography

Van Wouw decided to move to the developing city of Pretoria at the age of 28 and waited for ten years to receive his first commission. This was from financier Sammy Marks to create a monumental statue of Paul Kruger, which stands on Church Square.
During his time spent in the wilderness he developed a great admiration for the Boer nation. This also influenced his artistic development a great deal. He identified with the struggles and hopes of these people and this commitment was reflected in his work.
A great deal of his work, although representational, captures the rugged and emotional essence of his subjects. One of his most notable pieces of work is the figure of a woman used in the Women’s Monument near Bloemfontein. He collaborated on this with the architect Frans Soff. He was also responsible for the less successful figure of a woman incorporated into the Voortrekker Monument near Pretoria, a powerful bust of General Christiaan de Wet and the statue of Louis Botha in Durban.
He also portrayed indigenous peoples and among these smaller sculptures some of his finest work can be found. They are much less formal than his larger work and are appealing in their vivid and lifelike facial expressions.

## Works

Woman and Children, completed in 1938. This bronze statue honouring the role the Voortrekker women played in the Great Trek was van Wouw's last commission. The sculpture is located at the base of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, stands 4.1 meter tall and weights 2.5 ton. The casting was done by Renzo Vignali in Pretoria. Models for the statue were Cato Roorda or Isabel Snyman as the woman, Betty Wolk as the girl and Joseph Goldstein as the boy.

## Remembered

* Laerskool Anton van Wouw is a primary school named after van Wouw in the Pretoria suburb of Brooklyn.
* Van Wouw Museum located in his final residence.

# Tyrrell 017

The Tyrrell 017 was a Formula One racing car designed by Maurice Philippe and Brian Lisles. It was built and raced by Tyrrell Racing in the 1988 season and also for the first race of the 1989 season. It used a customer Cosworth DFZ V8 engine as had its predecessor. The car was driven in 1988 by British pair Jonathan Palmer and Formula One rookie Julian Bailey. Bailey was replaced by Michele Alboreto in 1989 as was the Cosworth DFZ replaced by the more powerful 1988 motor the Cosworth DFR.
The 017 was a development of the team's successful 1987 car, the Tyrrell DG016. However, as successful as the DG016 was in the naturally aspirated part of the championship (Tyrrell won the 'Colin Chapman Cup' as the leading atmospheric constructor while Jonathan Palmer won the 'Jim Clark Cup' as the atmo Drivers' Champion), the 017 was equally unsuccessful. Bailey failed to score a point and also failed to qualify for 10 races. Palmer scored all of the team's 5 points with Tyrrell finishing 8th in the Constructors' Championship.
For 1989 the car had minor upgrades for the first race of the season and was dubbed the 017B. The car was still uncompetitive and was replaced from the second race in San Marino with the Tyrrell 018.

# Georgios Kandilaptis

Georgios Th. Kandilaptis (Greek: Γεώργιος Κανδηλάπτης, romanized: Geórgios Kandiláptis) was a Greek scholar, journalist and teacher. He lived for 44 years in the Ottoman Empire, then later in Greece. He studied and wrote about historical, folkloric, literary, and sociological content, with his main subject being the region of Pontus.

## Biography

Kandilaptis was born October 23, 1881, in Argyropolis, then a city in the Ottoman Empire (now Gümüşhane, Turkey). He was the last of 4 children. His parents were Theodoros and Kiparissia (or Paresa) Kandilaptis. In 1899, after graduating from the Phrontisterion of Argyropolis, he pursued an educational career teaching from 1899 until 1914 in villages in the province of Argyropolis and Erzincan. In 1914, during World War I, he was called to join the Ottoman army, but he was declared a fugitive in the period of 1920-1922 and was exiled to Erzurum.
Later, he took part in the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey, leaving his hometown in the summer of 1924. He fled to Greece, where he settled with his family in Alexandroupoli. He took with him important historical relics of Pontic history including the Golden bulls of the Empire of Trebizond, the bones of Alexios IV of Trebizond, and several library manuscripts, saving them from destruction.
In Greece, he continued his teaching career, mostly in elementary schools in various areas of the region of Evros, until his retirement in 1951. On June 29, 1966, the Greek state honored Kandilaptis' work in letters, awarding him with a special ceremony held in Athens and the Gold cross of the Order of the Phoenix.
He died from illness on January 14, 1971, in Alexandroupoli.

### Personal life

In 1908, Kandilaptis married Angeliki Louka, with whom he had seven children (four boys and three girls). One of his children was killed in action during the Greco-Italian War, Lieutenant Theodoros Kandilaptis, whose name bears Alexandroupouli's military camp.

## Writing works

In addition to being a teacher, Kandilaptis was a journalist and columnist from a young age, working with newspapers and magazines such as the Pharos tis Anatolis (in Trabzon), the World of Odessa, the Argonautis of Batumi, and the Paidikos Kosmos. His activity continued after he moved to Greece, publishing about 400 essays, articles, studies and literature in magazines and newspapers in Athens, Macedonia, and Western Thrace until 1969. When he died in 1971, twelve of his books had been published, and a large volume of his other work was published after 2001.

# Steve Pulcinella

Steve Pulcinella (born October 19, 1965) is an American former powerlifter, strongman, and Highland games competitor. He is the owner of Iron Sport Gym in Glenolden, Pennsylvania.

## Early life

Pulcinella was born and raised in Ridley Township, Pennsylvania, where he began strength training at his high school, Ridley High School in Folsom, Pennsylvania, with his cousin, bodybuilder Dave Pulcinella. He started training with weights at age 13 and competed in his first powerlifting meet at age 14. After graduating from Ridley in 1983, Pulcinella worked at his father's printing shop. Over the next 24 years, he supported his lifting career by doing pre-press work, sales, and customer service for the family business.

## Lifting career

Pulcinella began competing in powerlifting in 1981 and quickly earned a reputation for his large size and big lifts. He competed for about eight years, during which time he won four Pennsylvania State Powerlifting Championships, two Pennsylvania State Region II Powerlifting titles, and placed second in the USPF teenage national championships.
In the early 1990s, Pulcinella began training and competing as a professional strongman. In 1993, he won Virginia's Strongest Man and the North America's Strongest Man competition in Toronto, defeating 15 competitors in events including car deadlift, truck pull, and keg loading. In 1994, Pulcinella was invited to compete in the World's Strongest Man contest in South Africa, where he placed last in his group and did not qualify for the Finals.
Pulcinella stopped competing in Strongman when he became a Highland Games pro in 1995. At the height of his career, he was competing in over 20 Highland Games events every year. Pulcinella qualified annually for the U.S. National Highland Games contest, participated in more than 300 events around the world, and earned over 40 professional titles over the course of his career. In 2000, he won the International Pro Highland Games competition at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire against a strong field of top throwers. Pulcinella retired from competing in Highland Games in 2011 after a devastating knee injury at the Newport Oregon Highland Games in Newport, Oregon.

## Current career

In 1995, Pulcinella and his brother Joe opened Iron Sport Gym in Glenolden, Pennsylvania. Pulcinella manages and maintains the gym, works with clients, and - though he has retired from competition - still trains to maintain what he calls “recreational hugeness.” Outside of Iron Sport, Pulcinella regularly announces for regional Highland Games competitions, and serves as athletic director for the annual Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which was highlighted in a January 2013 episode of the Travel Channel series Edge of America.

## Blogging and writing

Pulcinella is a featured contributor for EliteFTS, a strength training website and equipment resource founded by powerlifter Dave Tate. He has maintained a training log at EliteFTS.net since October 2010.
In 2012, Pulcinella published a strength training manual titled Iron Sport Strength Method that is available in both paper and electronic formats.
