Very cool concept!  If you’re a gamer and “getting in with the game” is what you mostly crave for to give you that extra joy in playing, I think this concept is what will complete your playtime.  This lead from TecheBlog .
It’s size definitely fits the gamer’s desk, for scale (look at the keychain) this […]

Blogs around the world are raving about this new Sony “toy” that will be released on May 17.  Well, it’s not really a “toy” per se, but the ease of using it will surely make one think “hey I’m enjoying using it”, hence “toy”. ;)  This digital picture frame is Wifi capable.  To the geeks, this […]

Yeah, I think this can also pass as a “geeky thing”.  I mean you’d need to at least have firm grasp in structural engineering, materials engineering & physics.   This lego tower was built by a team in the Legoland Windsor theme park in the U.K. of 500,000 LEGO bricks, and stands at just about 100 feet […]

Sometimes, “just flying” ain’t too exciting for geeks!  Okay, I know you’re excited already… it’s sold here and yes for $49.99 you get a pair.  It’s available now.  Yes, now!  Plus if you get it, you’d get 775 geek points from the vendor!  More discounts for more geek stuff.
The “Space Marines” are your regular infra-red […]

As much as I keep telling myself that Wii Fit will transform my accordion tummy into a firm six-pack, I realize that’s probably unlikely.  Us geeks generally don’t like exercise, but we sure love gadgets that can help alleviate the pain.
Enter the Seiko SlimStick.  It’s like a pedometer on steroids.
The exercise monitor is about the […]

I hope I still have your attention after the Tetris vinyl wallpaper article.  Yes, I still have yet another Tetris treat.  I promise it will be the last.  I just couldn’t help looking at the Meiji Chocolate Bar (now marketed as a cute tetris brick-puzzle, by Strapya-world.com).  For Meiji fans your guess is right, it […]

While still a rumour at this point, I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of having Hulu come to Canada. Currently, I have to cheat using VPN services and good proxies just to see the shows I want to watch. Sites with the Hulu videos embedded in them, might as well be a wasteland […]

According to the recently-published 2008 Digital Entertainment Study (PDF file) by Entertainment Media Research, the lack of choices and alternatives contributes more to piracy than than the fact that bootlegged wares come free or cheap.
At least 70% of respondents in the UK study says that legal sites don’t offer as much downloads than their illegal […]

The format war is over.
As I’ve always told my friends, Blu-ray is going to win and I am quite glad that I actually got it right (imagine the ridicule I would’ve received from them had HD-DVD won). With just one format in the High-Def playground, the Blu-ray group can now refocus its attention to making […]

Apparently, there’s a new sport that’s taking off across the western world - and its name is ‘speedcabling‘.  Basically, you see that jumble of wires behind your desktop, and if you’re particularly unlucky even your laptop?  Well, the concept behind this sport is to unjumble all those wires.  In the fastest possible time that you […]

 
I had a super geeky idea this morning.  It’s an idea that should have FTD, Proflowers and Hallmark eating out of the palm of my hand.
It’s the Groundhog Day bouquet.
Nothing to do with Punxsutawney Phil or whether or not he saw his shadow (he did), the Groundhog Day bouquet is the gift that keeps giving, […]

I haven’t really seen it mentioned beyond very niche circles, so I thought I’d reveal this to fellow geeks and nerds – you must take a look (and laugh at the mad comments) over at www.bash.org.
Basically, the site accepts any funny (as long as they’re clearly real – though some of them are questionable) comments […]

For those of you who’ve never had the pleasure of Mack and Mesh – I can tell you now that they are (and are set to be once again) a fantastically funny internet phenomenon.  These are two guys who genuinely like games and who are also genuinely happy to amuse you all. 
After a hiatus, they […]

Video podcasts online have become very popular, but for me, there seems to be a big problem, especially where Podshow is concerned: their talent leaves.
Is Podshow unable to pay enough money, or are there just better opportunities elsewhere, I am not sure, but one thing I do know is that the Podshow network is probably […]

Richard Matheson’s novel I Am Legend is one of the most seminal horror/science fiction stories of all time. The story of the only man left alive on earth as he struggles to survive amidst a world overrun with vampires is one that always sends chills up my spine. This is the vampire story to beat. […]

Over the past seven weeks I have been obsessively watching the new hit sitcom from CBS. No, it’s not about some pre-pubescent sexy girls, married couples or dysfunctional families — it’s actually about a bunch of nerds. The show is The Big Bang Theory.
The Big Bang Theory is one of the most refreshing sitcoms to […]
