Matt Springer should probably trim his toenails more often. Instead, he spends far too much time thinking and writing about pop culture ephemera, at Alert Nerd (for geek stuff) and Pop Geek (for everything else). His debut novel, Unconventional, is the tale of a fateful weekend for three geeks at a sci-fi con, and is available as a free PDF download. He lives with his lovely wife and the perfect toddler in Orlando, FL.
