And they really thought they could avoid weighing themselves by hiding their own scale. Nice try, fatty. There’s no way to avoid your morbid obesity now. There’s no blaming it on your big bones. The scale doesn’t lie. Either does the fact that you can’t fit through my door without shimmying ever so delicately. The Doormat Scale won’t let your ...

There’s something about vintage-styled book covers that really grabs your attention. Especially when the vintage style meets modern technology. What if modern web services happened to be books from the 60s? Don’t ask me how, just pretend that by some stretch of the imagination, these web services were inspired by vintage books. The resulting book covers would have likely looked ...

Hey… Jew! Yeah, I’m talking to Jew. What would Jew think if I said Jew could make your very own geeky-festive Star Trek Menorah made (J)using LED lights instead of candles? Would Jew give me a big, sloppy kiss? Well, wet those lips and pucker up! All of Jew trekkies out there are sure to be ultra-excited over this thing. ...

Back in July we were lucky enough to see a developers preview of the Lust circle for the upcoming game, Dante’s Inferno. Now we’re getting a sneak peek of the seventh circle of hell, Violence. This game just keeps looking more and more epic. Do you think Dante’s Inferno will be a classic, a flop or somewhere in between? We’re ...

Master Chief is totally down with chemistry. He can feel the chemistry between you and me, baby. Yeaaah, right on. The Periodic Table of Halo helps the avid Halo / Chemistry fan make sense of the world. Link

Even at Thanksgiving dinner, my iPhone was no more than a few inches from me at all times. Me and the Apple device are pretty inseparable, for better or for worse. So you can bet your tushy that the phone will not be leaving my steely paws even as I open up my Christmas presents. So intense is my obsession ...

Is your neighbor one of those dickish pricks who just can’t be outdone during the holiday season. They make the best cookies, they create the coolest nativity scene, they put on the best light show, they just refuse to come in second. This year, beat them at their own game (or at least come in a close second) and save ...

What more inspiration do you need? A little too skinny for my liking, but who am I kidding, I’d trek it. While I’ve never really been a hardcore Trekkie (I know, I know, I claim to be an alpha geek yet don’t know the finer points of Klingon grammar. I’m so ashamed.) I think I would have been a tad ...

This custom built Famicom Guitar is the product of many a-geeks’ dreams throughout the last two decades. As a guitar playing geek, there is little more enduring than a guitar made to celebrate a gaming console, unless of course we’re talking about a steampunk-inspired guitar, because then, Famicom might just be shit out of luck. Wait a sec. Who says ...

Seriously though, other than the text book industry, I think the printer ink industry is the number one price gouging enterprise. There’s no reason I should be paying more for ink than for a damn printer. I’d rather go drain an octopus. Link
