It'd be hard to replace a mad scientist like Pearl, but given that the crowd-funded MST3k reboot will feature an all-new cast, Joel Hodgson decided he needed to find someone to play Dr. Forrester’s daughter. And that someone ... will most likely be Felicia Day!

Geek & Sundry founder and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day is always a popular guest at conventions. Her honest nerdiness and call for us to "Embrace [Our] Weird" speaks to geeks in a genuine way and brings flocks of fans out for a chance to meet her.

South by Southwest (SXSW), one of the largest music and media festivals of the year, begins tomorrow in Austin, TX, and thanks to Legendary Digital there will be a heavy geek presence.

Perfect title is perfect.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

Need some inspiration for why it's worth doing things like landing SUV-sized robots on other planets? Watch this video about the Mars Curiosity rover from Caltech. It's narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson and Felicia Day, and it tells what we really sent to Mars—our curiosity.
