So I am slowly shopping around for a second LCD for my computer. Originally, when I got my 19″ LCD a while back, I used my 17″ CRT monitor as my second monitor, but that thing just gave me horrible head aches, so eventually, I ditched it, but since then, I have been feeling very […]

One thing that I know many people forget is to backup their work, and it really makes me frustrated. Even us geeks sometimes forget, and that is just unthinkable. Geeks are Sexy has a great post up about backing up your computer.

Aside from malware/spyware and viruses, the biggest trouble with most home computers can probably […]

So it looks like OpenOffice, the popular Microsoft Office replacement is working on a web version, much like Google Documents. Ars Technica had a chance to give it a run through and found it to be decent, but not perfect.
Here is a snippet from their article:
With this beta offering of a desktop suite, however, […]

There is a really great poster circling the blogosphere right now, and with the focus of this blog being all things Geek, I just couldn’t pass by an opportunity to ask you all “what type(s) of geek are you?”

Even better, you can order a poster of this […]

So Gizmodo has taken an in depth look at the way the Xbox 360 handles DivX and XviD files since the fall update adding the ability to the console. I am very happy to see Microsoft continuing to expand the usefulness of the Xbox 360, and continue to find myself with more and more temptation […]

Once attached at the hip to Microsoft, Robert Scoble is now leaving the video production start up, PodTech, that he really helped bring into the light.
Currently, he is considering either going to Fast Company to run Fast Company TV, or to some other undisclosed offer.
It is sad to see such an enterprising company lose such […]

I am a huge fan of the Command and Conquer franchise, and despite a few missteps, I am always excited to hear a new game is coming out, so today, when I saw a post saying Tiberium Revealed, my excitement was peaked.
Tiberium is the main resource in the Command and Conquer series, and so I […]

If you are a fan of rejoicing with the word w00t, with zero’s instead of the normal “o” for vowels, then you will be happy to know that Merriam-Webster, in their 2007 Word of the Year contest, has added the interjection used to express joy to their dictionary.
In 2004 it was blog. In 2005 it […]

One of the most hotly anticipated movies next year is the new Iron Man movie. The cleverly cast film (Robert Downey, Jr. is a spot on choice for Tony Stark) is scheduled to be shown on May 2, 2008, which marks beginning of the summer film season. Of course, a superhero film will never be […]

It’s really hard to choose gifts for your techie friends. Most likely they already have what you have and what they don’t have, they don’t for a reason (it’s too expensive, phasers haven’t been invented yet). It’s a real dilemma.
For problems like this, there is only one solution, amusing gifts with a tech bent […]

I just got myself a Nintendo Wii a week ago and my family loved it. My wife, who is a console gamer like myself, is having a lot of fun with Warioware Smooth Moves, and part of the fun is because our three year old son could actually play some of the mini games on […]

here’s a leaked picture that will surely make the day of thousands of Trekkies all over the world. The first picture of Chris Pine in his Star Trek Uniform.
Chris Pine will play the young Capt. James Kirk in the reboot of the Star Trek franchise under the helm of uber-hot producer/director JJ Abrams.
I am so […]

I’ve been so caught up with work and family over the past two years that, truthfully, aside from music, I pretty much stopped all of my other hobbies. I rarely played games and STOPPED reading comics.
But the realization that life is too short and that to celebrate life one has to indulge in one’s passions […]

Among Spider-man’s rogue’s gallery, I have to say Scorpion is one of my least favorites. I am not too sold on his origin story (a private investigator hired by J Jonah Jameson, who was eventually used in an experiment to grant him scorpion-like powers), and really, even though he may be the bad guy I’d […]

Just looking at the poster above awakens the terrible geek inside me everytime. What iconic figure can do that to any self respecting geek than Astroboy himself?
I’ve been collecting Astroboy figures ever since I saw my first Astroboy toy way back in 1976. Ever since then I’ve tried to keep the memory of Osamu […]

Sorry guys for having skipped a couple of days posting new stuff. I’ve been having some access problems lately. But let’s not allow some trivial technical matters stop us. Consider this a “making up for lost time” post… I give you Kristin Bell dressed as Princess Leia in her slave attire.

Nope, Kristin is not into […]
