Hail To The Chief. Aaron Douglas is Geek 47.
I often wonder as I write these Thursday announcements for Geek A Week, how many of you actually look forward to it. I mean, there is some excitement about knowing who comes up next. (I’m not deluding myself, am I?) But does anyone actually wait for me to post these announcements? I am thinking this, of course, as the project is rolling to a close. Just one more month of geeks and my year-long quest will have come to a close. I’ll save all the introspection and such for the end of the project. Right now, I have a geek to announce!
Next week is tailor-made for every Sci-Fi geek out there who has had a pulse for the past five years. As you know, the re-boot of Battlestar Galactica (or BSG for you hipster geeks out there) was a huge success and laid the groundwork for a new generation of serialized geeky TV shows. Next week, I am extremely proud and excited to bring one of the key figures from BSG to the Geek A Week deck – none other than The Chief himself, Aaron Douglas!
Aaron’s card and podcast will go live at some point during the weekend. And I gotta be honest with you: his card is so amazingly awesome, I can’t even stand it. Keep an eye out for the Chief as he graces us with his presence.

The card will be posted on Flickr HERE. And the podcast will be posted HERE.
I’ll update this entry and post a link to the podcast and the pic of Aaron’s card once they have been uploaded online.
