This is a Macbook Pro, lovely workstation.  A dream for me, and maybe when Jupiter lines up with Mars, I’ll soon upgrade from my trusty Macbook.  I’ve recently read a few blogs regarding rumors of a September release of a newer version of the Macbook Pro.  Hey, didn’t Apple upgrade it last March?  You gotta […]

While at the Northern Voice conference in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, I was able to meet up with a few of the folks that work on Flock, the social web browser. I asked them many questions, some harder than others, and they answered them with grace, so much so that I am going to be […]

Postsecret might have been around for a while, but it’s something that I haven’t blogged about.  This is for a couple of reasons, but not least as I didn’t feel I had a forum in which to express what I really felt about the site.  Now that I have more of a place to discuss […]

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 […]

I had a little surprise treat during the Christmas weekend. One of the other remaining torrent site that I go to for music had a free leech “gift” to all of the members and I was able to get some really cool stuff off the site for almost ten days. I downloaded like crazy because […]

As most of you know, Forever Geek is a part of the much larger Bloggy Network. Well, today I’m happy to announce that our blog family is expanding yet again, this time to a new arena for us…local blogging.

If you’re a fan of the 8-Bit era of gaming (aren’t we all?!?!?) and you’re in or around Los Angeles, CA, then you will definitely want to check out “I am 8-Bit”, an original art show extravaganza featuring over 200 pieces of original art, by over 100 different artists.
In addition to the art, there are […]

Destructoid.com has some slick pics of a Nintendo NES themed Fun House that was built by a group of fraternity brothers for a fund raiser of some kind. I don’t really care WHY they did it…the fact is, this thing is pretty kick ass.

Casting Couch is Forever Geek’s attempt to cast some upcoming movies (or movies that we wish were upcoming) with the talent that we think would be a) the best for the job and b) people that Hollywood would actually cast in the roles. This is our attempt to play casting director, and you’re welcome […]

Now this is some seriously talented costume making….

Remember our comment over at Apple Gazette that Apple stories now seem to be at a disadvantage with a recent change in DIGG’s algorithm? Here’s an interesting perspective from BlogHerald, using analogies with capitalism, democracy and socialism.
Prior to this change, the Digg economy was a capitalistic one. One that emphasized fairness and allowed each individual […]

Over at our sister site, the Apple Gazette, Michael wonders whether DIGG has started to become biased against Apple-related stories. He has observed that while it previously only took about 30 DIGGs (that is positive “votes” by DIGG users) in an upcoming story in the Apple topic to be brought to the DIGG front page, […]

According to research by comScore MediaMatrix, social networking sites are no longer dominated by teenagers. Older demographics are starting to become the majority in many social networks, owing to the aging of the population and other factors that drive the not-so-young set into connecting with peers and contacts online.
… 68 percent of the 55 million […]

Since there is no word on when or if the forums will return anytime soon, I decided it was time to revive an old tradition we used to have there and have our users post their desktops for the month.
If you choose to post your own desktop, please be kind enough to tell us (if […]

TechTV alumni Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo are planning to bring back TechTV as UndoTV. They’re apparently adopting DIGG’s user-owned/contributed content model.
Two former show hosts at the defunct cable and satellite channel, Chris Pirillo and Leo Laporte, recently floated the idea of a TechTV Reunion that would let alumni of the popular (to geeks anyway) […]
