With eight episodes of K-ON having been aired in Japan, the amount of cosplay in this series has already surpassed what you would find in most anime. In this short amount of time, K-ON has already managed to cover maid uniforms, swimsuits, normal clothing, a nurse outfit, santa costume, winter clothing, and others including the ever-popular school uniform.

Social Skills Forced On Neumont Geeks
Who says that geeks have no social skills at all? Well, if we were to ask the employers of the graduates of Neumont University, they would probably not hesitate to say yes. As a matter of fact, they have filed some complaints to that effect. Read more »
Digital Soaps At Etsy
How attached are you to your electronic gadgets? I bet that a day does not go by without you fiddling around with at least one of your gadgets. I’d even go as far as to say that not an hour goes by without you having the need to check or use your phone, your laptop, your PDA, your mp3 player, or whatever other favorite gadget of yours. But have you ever thought of bringing your gadgets to the bathroom with you? Read more »
Stone Laptop Table
I don’t really have much use for a laptop table as I pretty much just plunk my netbook onto my lap and go at it. My netbook does not emit much heat, either so I do not really need anything in between my lap and the gadget. However, while I was browsing through Etsy (yes, they do have geeky stuff), I found a laptop table that I really really want. Read more »
UK's Museum of Computing gets a new home
Last year, the UK’s Museum of Computing had to close because the University of Bath moved out of a campus in Swindon where the collection was housed.

Geeks are better in bed: it's official
As if we really needed it confirming, a new survey in Britain has found that tech workers are less selfish in bed (and no we’re not talking about stealing the duvet here) and more open to using sex toys. Apparently it’s those gym-going fitness freaks that are the most self-centered. The survey of over two-thousand British men and women already in relationships found that there was a strong correlation between geeks and their openness to pleasing a partner in bed. Four in five techies said that sex should be more about “the partner”, compared to 41% of fitness bods. Read more »
Liquid Cooling Pad: keep your laptop cool without electronics
It’s OK, I think I can guess what you’re thinking, because laptop cooling products are hardly the most exciting gadgets ever invented. Even that picture is boring… Exciting: maybe not. Essential: definitely. Enter the TDD-9000 liquid cooling pad from Nexus Technology. It’s a soft velvet blanket filled with a patented gel-like liquid that has been designed to dissipate heat passively and noiselessly. Read more »

Concept Electronic Drums: virtual bongos with multicolor effects
I love the sound and feel of real percussion and I’d never suggest that an electronic version could compete or substitute. However, you get a whole array of new sound possibilities with synthesizers and virtual instruments. Take this concept electronic drum. Not only can it be used to trigger new sounds but it’s also visually appealing. Firstly, it’s lovely and curvy and is crying out to be touched. When you do, it’ll form a multicoloured impression of you hand on its surface. Read more »
