Awesome Halloween Pumpkin Carvings For Geeks
Who said geeks don’t celebrate Halloween? I am willing to bet a month’s salary (not much, I have to admit) that there will be countless Spocks, Darth Vaders, and other similar characters at parties this weekend. But have you ever thought of carving that pumpkin based on the current social media trends? I honestly haven’t, but the guys at Mashable did an excellent job featuring 12 of the coolest social media pumpkin carvings for Halloween. You should check the full article out, but here’s a tiny glimpse of what’s in store for you. Needless to say, they’re the ones that made my blood flow more quickly. Read more »

WoWeekly: 5 Features To Look Forward To In Patch 3.3!
Patch 3.3 is just around the corner and here are five (5) features we can all look forward to! 1. Cross Server LFG – Just like the PVP Battleground, we will be able to group with other players from other servers in the same battlegroup! I’m a little intrigued with this feature since it was also mentioned that it works the same as entering a PVP battleground. If you use the LFG tool, you will be teleported inside the dungeon, same way when you queue for a battleground. Does this mean that we’ll be doing away from summoning stones in the future? 2. Vote to Kick Feature – Ah, thank Read more »
Wal-Mart To Have Their Own Geek Squad
Reuters reported last week that Wal-Mart is going to have their own version of the Geek Squad – and they’re going to try to be the best at it! The giant chain store is supposed to be offering their customers support which will give them home service in assisting the setting up of products bought from the store. Naturally, their target is to compete with rival Best Buy. Read more »
Interactive LED coffee table could be so much more
At one level I like the idea of this coffee table. Yes, it’s ludicrously expensive — $1,500 for a small table up to $2,100 for a large one — but it has a certain cool factor to it. It contains 480 super-bright LEDs and 24 infrared optical sensors to provide visual feedback when an area of the table is touched or an object is placed on it. Nice concept, but why not allow it to do more? Read more »
Halloween Robot: The Rovin' Pumpkin
What more do you need for a simple, (slightly) scary robot this Halloween? Constructed from some simple bits of LEGO, servo motor, LEDs and simple microchip, the Rovin’ Pumpkin isn’t exactly a hit on the dance floor, but with its glowing green eyes and sneaky little movements, it could scare a few trick or treaters this weekend. Via Read more »
State of the Multiverse 32
I was going to title today’s column ‘Pointless Comics Books’ after reading the finale of The Last Days Of Animal Man. I said before how much I like Buddy Baker, but after reading all six issues, I feel cheated. Gerry Conway, pleasant as his writing is, is no Grant Morrison, so the appearance of the yellow aliens (who I would like to see more of) did nothing to satisfy me, or give me a reason why I have bought the entire series. However, Blackest Night has continued apace, enough for me to forgive DC. In the conclusion of Blackest Night Titans, we have seen it’s not just the assembled corps Read more »
Glam It Up With The Tetris Dress
You gotta love this dress by Erin of A Dress A Day. I came across it over at Geekologie, and I have to say that I fell in love! You see, I am NOT a dress person. I am more of a jeans and shirt gal, putting comfort high above fashion. Yeah, I have been called out for it, but hey, who cares, right? Lately, though, I have been noticing dresses and thinking that maybe, it’s about time to get my hands on some. Stumbling across this Tetris dress just might be the sign that I have been waiting for! I know it may not be “glam” for the fashionistas, Read more »
GeoCities becomes ReoCities before your very eyes
Did you have a GeoCities website before Yahoo! closed it down last week? Feeling nostalgic? If so, fear not, because a lot of the massive online neighbourhood has been rescued and now lives on at Reocities.com. There’s a fantastic timeline of the making of Reocities which proves that it was no mean feat to pull off. Read more »
