Kari Lucin is a reporter for the Jamestown Sun, a daily newspaper/news site based in Jamestown, N.D.
She is a big geekette, and her principal hobbies are playing Dungeons & Dragons and other pen-and-paper roleplaying games, playing video games, and watching hours and hours of television on Netflix, from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” to “Mystery Science Theater 3000.”
She has the attention span of a sugar-crazed, highly-caffeinated, semi-rabid squirrel and has been known to leave books in awkward places, such as cupboards, speed boats, the Metrodome and, occasionally with disastrous results, bathtubs.
She likes science fiction, fantasy, westerns and mysteries and thinks that generally, 
vampires should not sparkle. She also loves odd music, including that of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Rasputina and the Decemberists.
In writing this blog, the author hopes to bring a bit of geek culture to the rest of the world. Yes, there is a geek culture. There is a geek community, too. Wil Wheaton and Neil Gaiman seem to be two of the leaders, and Ada Lovelace (right) is a matron saint.
But if you don’t know who they are, that’s totally okay. The geek community is pretty tolerant, and there’s room for book geeks, word nerds, theology hounds and math-lovers.
Geeks are cool like that.
I like the blog! You have such a fun voice when talking about the things of journalism!
Thank you very much! I don’t focus on it too much–I never know really what people are interested in, and since I have the attention span of a sugar-crazed rodent, I just flit from topic to topic at random.
But I do like thinking about these issues, and I like your blog very much–you grapple with many of the questions reporters have to ponder every day.
awesome. best. blog. description. ever.
Sorry to bother you here but I cant find any other way to contact you. Im trying to post a comment to one of the acticles on the sun. After I’ve logged in and post a reply, nothing gets posted. When i log out, log back in, and try to post again, it says that i’ve already said that. Suggestions? Thanks
I honestly don’t know. I’d send a note to support@areavoices.com. Maybe it’s a caching issue–did you clear your cache to check if it went up after you posted it the first time? Maybe it’s posting and it’s not telling you.
