Hello to all of my beautiful nerds and welcome back from traveling the vast universe! I am back with the last bit of coverage of RangerStop 6!
Interview with Kat Sutherland from Mighty Morphen through Turbo!
To save the best for last and that is our interview with Kat Sutherland who appeared during Mighty Morphen as a cursed cat working for Rita. I am not kidding and I remembered those episodes too. It was right around Kimberly started losing her powers. After Kim left Kat does pick up the powers and becomes pink ranger for the rest of the mighty Morphen run through Turbo. What did I ask Kat? Find out in this video!
Well everyone that ends all of our coverage for this year’s RangerStop. I would like to thank Mike Ginn, Sean C. W. Johnson, Audrey Dubois, and Kat Sutherland for letting us get to have a few minutes during their busy weekend to interview them. Hoping we get to interview some of the others we got to meet but didn’t get to interview and would be over Skype including Christopher Kayman Lee, Steve Cardenas and the Mega Force team and anyone else I forget to mention. I also want to thank Jonathan who heads Press at RangerStop for letting us have this opportunity and hoping to get to do it again since it was a blast! THANK YOU!
Now that convention is done it’s time for Holiday Matsuri 2018 and can’t wait to see what this convention brings to us! Also, stay tuned tomorrow or Tuesday for my review on Marked by Benedict Jacka! Until next time! Stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds traveling the vast universe! I am back with another interview!
Audrey Dubois from Mighty Morphen “Day of the Dumpster!”
No, that is not a typo! Audrey originally played Trini in “Day of the Dumpster” which was an interesting fact. Why wasn’t she still her? Well, tried asking for more money is not the way to go back in the 90’s. What did I get to ask her? You will know in a minute with this video!
That is it for this interview! Next will be our last one from Ranger Stop and that is with Kat Sutherland from mighty Morphen, Zeo, and Turbo. Stay tuned for that and also my review on the latest Alex Verus book by Benedict Jacka. Until next time! Stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds traveling the vast
universe! I am back!
Interview with Sean
C. W. Johnson from Light Speed Rescue!
Time for another interview and this was one I wanted to do
for a while since I have seen the season and that is with Sean C. W. Johnson
who played Carter Grayson on Light Speed
Rescue. As the convention got closer and I was packing more and more I was
watching this season even though I also watched it for Jennifer Yen who started
Pur~Lisse years back. I would love to interview her some day since skin care is
important but glad to interview Mr. Johnson as well. What did I ask? Not only
the usual but also about the Easter egg towards Mariner Bay in the 2017 Power Rangers movie and did try doing
the Light Speed hand movements for the morphing phrase since if you see with
last video if we interview any rangers they got to do the call from their
respective season.
What is next in interviews? One cast member you probably
haven’t met yet and got to interview her at Ranger Stop and that is Audrey
Dubois who originally played Trini in the episode “Day of the Dumpster.” Stay tuned
for that since the coverage is almost finished to make room for Holiday Matsuri
2018! Until next time stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds and welcome back! It’s time for the last panel from Ranger Stop 6!
Forever Red!
This panel was a last minute add on by Christopher Kayman Lee since as we all know from Wild Force that they had a huge crossover of red rangers from the past up to the present so we had Jason, T. J., Tommy, Eric, and Wes, and many more leading up to the Wild Force Red Ranger.
This panel was kind of like that but with the red rangers attending the con as guests so we had of course Austin St. John, Christopher Kayman Lee, and of course ZuiRanger Red with them, which you get to hear his translator in this one. And yes, they were asked to do their morphing calls which you get to see in the upcoming interviews! Enjoy!
That is it for this panel! The panels at Ranger Stop this year were as amazing as Ranger Stop 3 especially with Saban Meets Disney Era this past year. Hoping next year we get to see more awesome panels with more guests. They need to get more of Time Force or at least the entire team. Ohhhh staff! Wait, would’ there be an anniversary next year for Lost Galaxy? Hmmm! Let’s see what happens!
Next is the first of the interviews with Mike Ginn who plays Jem in RPM! I had fun talking with him so stay tuned and follow us on Twitter! Until next time!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds and welcome back! I am so sorry for not putting any new posts up due to work making me busy lately! Yes, your lovely writer here is now working as an Adaptive Tech Instructor but don’t worry I have not forgotten about this blog since the tech does help me create posts. I do have another Ranger Stop post!
Saban Era Meets Disney Era!
This panel got me excited about this year’s convention the most and that is the Saban Era meeting the Disney Era Power Rangers! I did enjoy this panel and I did have a moment in the video where I went to the line, which the good thing is instead of someone with a mike running around the room like last time they had a mike in one part of the room like MegaCon did. I did ask Yoshi and brother, Peter about Hyper Force, which is a table top Power Rangers RPG they have been doing well Peter and Yoshi was just revealed as a new ranger. And if you heard from Peter, yes I have seen episodes and it was easy for me to tell his voice apart and he goes “Nice hat!” All weekend I have been wearing my RWBY hat since I don’t have a Power Rangers hat. I may need to look for one before next year’s event. Anyways, enjoy and when you get to that point where I am heading for the line, please do a Mystery Science Theater moment by going, “whoa!”
That is it for this post~! I bet you’re wondering, where’s my November Ipsy post? Well, here is the thing! I ended up ordering something extra which Ipsy does now and the bag gets shipped later according to my order placement email and well another thing is that it ended up at my parents’ house after my move and apparently they won’t ship to my new address until this month. So yeah, I know I should have skipped a month but my bags have been so good especially this one and this month’s! Hoping it doesn’t take until the start of 2019 for December’s to arrive and since I am here on the coast, I will sign back up for Boxy Charm but have to wait a bit before that happens. Don’t worry I will get it back and might do a year of it or just monthly. Let’s see what happens. Once Gondras does give it to me I will post about it on here and sorry for it being late. I will also make sure to keep on posting here since Holiday Matsuri is getting closer and I have to start packing soon for that so I will get the next panel up which is a last minute add on they did at Ranger Stop and the interviews that we were able to do at the convention. So stay tuned and make sure you’re on Twitter following us! Until next time stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds traveling across the vast universe! I am back with another video for you from Ranger Stop this year!
Mega Force Five Year Anniversary Panel!
Can you believe it that it has been five years since Mega Force has been on air? Dang! Time has gone fast but when you look at it, Dino Charge and Ninja Steel has been the last two seasons that have aired.
Sorry if Voiceover is on during this or if not and sorry for not focusing the camera on the cast as well. Plus somehow my camera didn’t start recording until the point you see where it started with one of the girls speaking. I hope I got the parts where two of the guys were talking about the episode where they switched bodies and they started to act like each other because one of them does it very well and they started to do everyone on the cast. This was a pretty fun panel to go to and great to meet these guys as well since got to talk to them. I didn’t get to have interviews with any of them during the weekend due to how busy they were so hoping in the near future that we do have one over Skype with one of them. So stay tuned for that!
I hope you all enjoy this panel video and the next one is the Saban Era Meets Disney Era Panel where you get to see a lot of the Saban actors and Disney actors from Power Rangers in one panel. Stay tuned and follow our Twitter while you’re at it!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds traveling the vast universe! I am back with another post and it’s from Ranger Stop!
The Villain, Mentor, and the minion Panel!
The next panel is The Villain, The Mentor, and the Minion from Ranger Stop this year and it was a panel that I had to get onto YouTube. It featured Barbara Goodson, David Fielding, Peta-Marie Rickson, and Romy. Sharf, and I think Psycho Red was in this too from what I remembered. Anyways, this was entertaining since we got to hear the different stories especially how Peta had to recount how she as Alpha tried to fight Ivan Ooze during the Power Rangers Movie back from the 90’s and that she had her eyes covered and heard how they were going to blow things up around her. Scary thought right there.
And also, if you’re watching this and notice my camera is not focusing on anyone let me say this. This is from a comment someone had left on the In Space panel on YouTube about how I didn’t point my camera towards the cast but just the host and downwards. I am doing my best with this stuff and since I didn’t have Nerdy Shirts with me with the camera on the first two days, I had to rely on myself like when I started doing this press stuff. Reason why I put this stuff up since the comment did ask about that is because I want to bring awesome content to you guys who don’t get to go to these things and probably couldn’t make this year’s event so I put it up. Plus my left arm’s motor skills aren’t the best so I had to hold it up the best as I could. So please, I’m asking don’t get mad about how bad it looks. I do the best I can as someone who does press and at least you get to hear these people speak in this video and same with the others. I may not be Steve Saylor or Molly Berk but I am just Mari Blue Cat who does this stuff for you guys! I am dedicated to my work and I want to make it work! Thank you!
So, that’s it for this post, hope you enjoy this panel because the next one is the Mega Force Panel! Stay tuned!
Hello to all my beautiful nerds traveling the vast universe I am back with another past and it’s a bit of a response post!
Your Life Is Not Over When You Lose Your Sight!
I was inspired by Derek Daniel from Life after Sight Loss which is an awesome podcast by a blind person who lives life after sight loss and gives tips how to get through it and one of his videos was about life not being over after sight loss and wanted to do my own response about it.
I felt like responding to this now because I was in a Facebook Live Chat earlier and I felt like I needed to get some of the negative aspects off because as a person who has lost her sight at 23 I had so many life changes during that time and yes I was one of those who thought my life was going to end because I’m blind, even when I tried finding a job at 28 after graduating from college that I couldn’t find anything but knowing about this podcast did make me think more in a positive light and feel like doing my response now.
Actually, the video I’m referring to is that Sight Loss is a Tragedy but Being Blind Isn’t and I agree with the title since he does give good points.
Why is losing sight a tragedy but not blindness? Derek said that going blind is a tragic event while being blind is just the journey because yes we can lose our sight in many ways whether it being all of a sudden, having Glaucoma, having my eye condition, or even losing your sight due to an accident it can happen in different ways. While blindness, it is just the journey you have to take in order to live your life the way you want it to be. Yes it can be hard, trust me I went through that while losing my sight and going through college but I was able to learn different techniques of doing things like sewing, writing, and using different technology such as my IPhone and now going to work teaching Assistive Technology is something that came from my decision of switching my job goal gears years ago. While with the tragic experience of losing sight loss is depending on how the event affects the person since it is surrounded by sight loss. It depends how someone feels when they lose it and it can take a jolt, as in, “Holy moly, what just happened!?” And then things start to take shape.
What I noticed in the Facebook chat we were talking about how different people who may be performers or even YouTubers that are going through their own visual impairments have to go through a lot like trying to live life daily and how not getting enough in Super Chat from YouTube is not fair to the person because they’re blind. Yes, blindness can be the factor but to me it’s how you handle it in order to get around it. One good example if you saw my interview with Apl DeAp at the NFB National Convention, one of my questions was asking how is he able to perform on different stages? He did explain that he has to be more careful in what he does onstage performing whether it’s jumping around or doing break dances for example. Heck, I remembered when I entered one of the costume contests at a convention and they helped me with the stage before the event. Still, even if you’re visually impaired as a performer there are other ways of performing onstage and not only that getting your music produced and of course you have crowd source ways of helping you to achieve your music goal, even Traverser did a pre-order thing with their last album to help them fund their finishing project. And what about YouTube? It goes the same way, yes it may be unfair to some that they’re not getting all the money back from their Super Chat, take me for example where the YouTube Channel for this blog got de-monetized due to the new guidelines and yes I was mad but I do have Patreon just in case to help fund stuff even though we haven’t gotten any donations but that’s okay, I still go on with my channel as much as I can by posting when I can. It’s not over and see I don’t include my blindness in this because it sucks to be blind but there are other ways of getting around the issues of not getting the funds from your video or other projects. You just have to problem solve and find different ways and keep going from there.
So in the end to make this post a bit short, going through sight loss is a tragedy because we have the emotions of going through our sight loss depending on the different circumstances but being blind is a way of getting on with life, yes you have to re-learn things such as cooking, cleaning, and even navigating around your local mall but we can’t always make it seem like a negative aspect because we’re blind. We have to not only empower ourselves to get out of bed, go and find a job, or even write a book and then that passes on to empowering others to learn about the disability itself and know how you’re able to advocate yourself in a certain environment. I mean I go to the House of Blues for shows for my friends in Traverser to support their music and show that I can rock out like a sighted person!
Well, that’s it for this post and it was kind of short. I will include the video I was referencing so you can see what I was talking about. I also suggest if you know someone who’s blind or if you’re a sighted supporter, I would suggest the Life after Sight Loss Podcast and YouTube for tips, advice, and any tech tidbits! So, that’s it and stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds traveling the vast universe! I am back with an interview for you!
Traverser!
Guess whose back and will be rocking the stage again? Traverser!
They have been working on a new album for the past few years and we got to sit down with them for an interview over Skype on one of their rehearsal nights to discuss the album and the song they have released recently. They will be at the House of Blues doing a Rock Pink Show this Saturday and we will be there to see them and also Mr. Bella since it’s been two years after seeing them at the House of Blues. Do you also want us to interview them? It would be awesome!
What did I ask? Watch the video and I will also be including the audio of their song here so you can take a look. Also make sure you follow them on Facebook, which I will include a link for you guys and by the way, check their YouTube out for their many other songs by clicking on the video or clicking on the link our video!
That’s about it and more stuff to come on Nerdy SHique Universe which I will be doing a Convention Spotlight soon on RangerStop 2018 because we got Press for this year’s convention! Woohoo! So, follow us on Twitter @ Nerdy Shique for the latest updates! Stay beautiful while traveling the universe! Traverser’s Facebook Page
Hello to all of my beautiful nerds and welcome back from traveling the vast universe! Today will be a twofer special of posts! First a new app for you all Visually Impaired Nerds out there!
Introducing N Reach!
No, it’s not spelled wrong, that’s how this app is spelled and it’s kind of clever even with its website. This is a new location app that was introduced at the NFB National Convention this year and I am an affiliate with these guys since I have been using Soundscape and that app not always picks up on locations but this one will. Let’s get into what it’s about!
Behind the App: Created by James Dye and Steven Moldenhauer, this app is created to help people understand the world around them more by being able to have businesses make their signs more accessible by buying beacons to place with their signs that is connected with this app. Once the beacon is set and activated and someone has the app on their phone then they will get a message sent to them telling them about the business and what they offer. Heck, even menus to the place if it’s a restaurant. I have met the creators and James Dye is visually impaired himself and has been a big drive in accessibility and helping businesses to become more accessible while Mr. Moldenhauer is a thought leader and technologist that makes many technology solutions to help businesses spread their messages.
This is a great idea because as a blind person myself it’s sometimes hard to find a specific place and asking people where it is and being directed can be a pain, trust me, try being at one place and having people point and say, “It’s over there.” With an app like this, it can give you the information about the place because of this beacon or beacons since a business can get these through….
Affiliates! As I mentioned above, I am an affiliate with N Reach and in order for businesses to know about this I do get in contact with some and have done it with a few already or show up in person and hand them a card which an affiliate gets given a pack of a hundred of these things. It gives the information to where to go to sign up, what pricing packages are there in case you want just one beacon for one location or more to put on locations across town. It is a service so I will make sure to include the link which is….
For Businesses: For any businesses who may be reading this and want to know more about N Reach and what its message, what price packages are available to you you can go to http://www.nrea.ch for pricing, videos to show what this program is about, even what it can do for someone who is a customer with a visual impairment that comes in regularly to your business either alone or with friends, since I do hang out with my gal pals once a month and if a new place comes up on the N Reach app with the beacon I can open it up and have it read out to me or them for the info. It does help us a lot even if we’re traveling alone. So make sure you check out the link and I will place one of their videos in this post to see what your business can do when it comes to accessibility.
That’s all I have so far. If you have a business and may want your customers, blind or even sighted people can get this app, you can go to http://www.nrea.ch for all of the info about pricing and the packages available. If you guys want me to interview the founders, I will gladly do that since we have recently did another Skype interview with one of our local bands in town. Which reminds me, I need to get in contact with the House of Blues about N Reach!
That is it for this short post on a new app, also if you want to be an affiliate yourself to help your blind community members or your Blindness Organizations, you can also check out that link I have included because we need more businesses to join this network. Stay tuned I have another post for you all today! Follow us on Twitter @ Nerdy Shique for all of our updates and will even update with my second post. So stay beautiful while traveling the universe!
