In a recent episode of Jeopardy, host Alex Trebek sacrificed all of his dignity. There was no berating of the contestants. And no, he didn’t drop trou mid-taping. Even worse. He submitted to the powers that be and agreed to sing in auto-tune for the sake of his beloved show. But then again, this is a man who shaved off ...

I’m not quite sure how my household would get along without this DVD Rewinder, a truly necessary gadget in any man serious about his media. I despise receiving DVDs from Netflix, only to find that they haven’t been properly rewound. I do not care to see the middle of a film before I’ve seen the beginning. It’s almost as irritating ...

UNO’s a great way to spend an hour or so with a group of friends. For the friendless, there’s always the UNO iPhone app. Unfortunately, the iPhone app forces you to use the standard UNO deck, while there are clearly better options out there. The Star Trek UNO deck includes your favorite characters, all integrated right into the game. Now ...

If you had to choose one image that encapsulated the sheer greatness of North Korea, what else would you choose but Team America’s very own puppet rendition of the Great Leader. All I know is that Hans Blix is shaking in his boots. Prepare for a very angry letter Kim. Link

Speaking of making me a sandwich, Friendly’s just introduced their newest sandwich of mass destruction. The Grilled Cheese Burgermelt is 1500 hundred calories of magical yumminess. Two whole grilled cheese sandwiches replace the buns of this burger. Stuffed in between these sandwiches is a thick 100% Black Angus beef patty, served with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Umm, can you even ...

There’s almost no way to tell your computer’s sexual history if you don’t have the money to fork out for a full diagnostics screening. Especially if you happen to purchase it off eBay or refurbished through a company. Sure, they might say it was thoroughly checked. But you never know what might slip though the crack and let me tell ...

I’m not quite sure where the merging of Alice in Wonderland and Star Wars became an idea that seemed worth trying, but I’m glad it happened. The Cheshire Cat Stormtrooper Helmet makes your typical imperial trooper seem creepily happy and just a tad too furry. I doubt these helmets would ever pass Darth Vader’s stringent uniform protocol, but a trooper ...

The simple answer. A lot. Forget about the emergence of terrorism as a serious threat to mainland America (and Azeroth). That was only the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to technology and pure money spendage, the decade between 1999 and 2009 was a hell of a game changer. The kickass infographic after the jump describes just how much ...

Men have been reliant on the womanly skill of sandwich making for centuries. Ever since the great Earl of Sandwich demanded his (undoubtedly feminine) page to serve him a slab of meat between two pieces of bread, the sandwich has been a staple of manly consumption. So when a woman decides that her sandwich making duties are up, does she ...

I’m sick of answering questions. That’s all people want from me is answers. And I’m sick of it. So here’s my new, very permanent answer. Just Google it. It’s not even just the obvious questions that bother me. It’s even the ones that people use to try and test my computer knowledge. I’m a geek blogger, not a technician. Go ...
