Chalk it up to apathy or a busy weekend (we spent a lot of time building a compressed air rocket), but I didn’t realize until pretty late in the afternoon on Sunday that this was the first weekend of the NFL season. So, with a nod to all of you fantasy football geeks out there, this puzzle’s for you. Simply figure out the phrase in the image above. If you need a hint, check out my posts from last week. We’re going to give away a $50 gift certificate to ThinkGeek to one lucky reader who can find the hidden message. Get your answer in before Friday night to have a chance!

Sunday night at 8:40 Eastern Time, those who tune in to the “Countdown to the True Blood Season Finale” will be treated to previews of upcoming HBO original programming. The list of shows includes (among others) Boardwalk Empire, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bored to Death and Game of Thrones.

It’s no secret that the DVR at GeekDad central will be tuned to HBO on Sunday. We will then slowly dissect and analyze the Game of Thrones preview, frame-by-frame, drooling in anticipation of the spring 2011 premiere.

And if you don’t have HBO, we’ll post the trailer on Monday, along with a new Game of Thrones photo. Hodor!

Master Lock is now offering a new padlock with an interface that closely resembles an analog joystick. The new locks, called Speed Dial Combination Padlocks, forgo the traditional dial face with numbers and use a stick that can be used in traditional joystick fashion.

The locks come with faceplates (letters, numbers, colors, shapes and symbols) that can take the place of the arrows. If anyone wants to break into my locker, try up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right.

What an unexpected surprise! Just weeks after Comic-Con in San Diego, everyone’s favorite suburban step-brothers are going to engage in a little cosplay of their own — at the Tri-State area’s annual sci-fi & comic book convention. Look for plenty of geeky, sci-fi and fantasy references as Phineas and Ferb try to meet their hero, special effects guru, Clive Addison. Kevin Smith and Seth MacFarlane lend their voices to this very special episode, showing tonight on Disney XD (check local listings for times). This episode, “Nerds of a Feather,” will also air on the Disney Channel, beginning August 27th.

And if you didn’t see it, be sure to read our Comic-Con interview with Phineas and Ferb creators, Swampy Marsh and Dan Povenmire.

On August 14, 1950, one of the most brilliantly weird cartoonists ever to live was born. Yes, Gary Larson — creator of The Far Side and natural heir to the genius that was Charles Addams — turns 60 years old today, 15 years after retiring from regular cartooning.

So if you’ve ever had to stifle a laugh when someone nearby used the term “kemosabe,” if you know exactly what’s meant by a reference to “Midvale School for the Gifted,” or if you involuntarily grin at the mere mention of “Bummer of a birthmark, Hal,” please join all of us at GeekDad in this sentiment:

We hope you have a very happy birthday, Mr. Larson, and may you never be visited by the Chicken of Depression!

Happy 60th Birthday, Gary Larson!

If you’re like me – sitting at home instead of in Orlando – you’re gobbling up every word and image that Twitter, e-mail and Web reports are broadcasting out about Celebration V going on this weekend. Our own John Booth has been checking in with reports a couple times a day, but for the jealous and hardcore, it’s just not enough.

Fortunately, beginning at 6PM eastern Thursday, Sirius XM radio will be providing coverage from the convention. Programming will feature interviews with stars from the Star Wars movies, as well as behind-the-scenes talent and celebrity fans. Listeners will also be able to listen in on panel discussions and more, including play-by-play of droid races. Tune in to Sirius 108 or XM 139.

Just in time for the release of Tron: Legacy, a British firm is gearing up to release a bicycle tire embedded with LED bulbs. While these lighted rubber tubes won’t lay down trails for your opponents to crash into, they may very well keep you safe. Cyglo tires are intended to create a highly visible ring of light to maximize cyclists’ visibility on busy roads. No pricing has been set yet, but we understand that the flying disc to destroy MCP will be sold separately.
