He Strikes Again. San Francisco This Time. Banksy. Know Him?

Sometimes you just have to admit that you’re doing it totally wrong. I never thought it would happen to my beloved ForeverGeek but it seems that the day has come. When you search a popular geek site for Banksy and your query returns you zero results, you know you’ve done it all wrong. No.results.at.all. Zero, zilch, noppes, nada, null. Of course our task as a great bunch of helpful geeks should now be to link you up with the necessary links to Banksy’s homepage and Wikipedia entry but we are not going to do that. We all know how that ends. When was last time you visited Wikipedia and 20 Read more »

Off screen The Big Bang Theory quips

My love for “The Big Bang Theory” just grew a little bit more thanks to Wil Wheaton. Do you know what you get when a geek plays on a geek TV show? Non-scripted offline stories or comics that keep you entertained until the next episode airs. My level of geekyness is not high enough to be familiar with Wil Wheaton, it is thanks to The Big Bang Theory that I learned about him. And since his last guest stint as Evil Wil Wheaton I found his blog with an entry detailing all behind the scene events when he guest starred on the show. Best of all he had a photo Read more »

It's a good day for astronomy fans

It's a good day for astronomy fans

Galactus needs to take better care of himself. I didn’t even know he was a smoker. In reality, Hubble captured this spectacular image of a “three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust” that’s under attack from within and without. Infant stars inside are firing off jets of gas, while bigger stars outside the pillar are gobbling it up with their super-bright light. I guess you could call it a big ol’ pocket of star fuel. Hubble released the image to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and you can bet your warp drive it’s been composited and enhanced out the wazoo. But that doesn’t make it any less amazing (see higher-res versions here). Read more »

Home of TV Series Stars Blueprints: Bruce Wayne Mansion

Artist Mark Bennet has several prints of maps of the house of TV Series stars up for sale. Interesting or boring, I don’t know. The jury’s still out on that one but a map of the House of The Jetsons or the Bruce Wayne Mansion is always welcome here and we here at FG obviously take the task up to highlight these works. More blueprints at Mark Bennet’s online gallery. Read more »

So You Like Over-saturated Pictures and Alice in Wonderland? Then You'll Love Living in this House!

I admit it, that title could be influenced by the early Friday morning whiskey after the iPad Bling, but still it is the first thing this abso-frakkin-lutely gorgeous house made me think of. I bet I need to find some more Spongebob references for this post but to be honest, sometimes it’s just better when I shut up and let you enjoy the beauty of this Nautilius Shell house. The house was built in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica for a couple from Mexico City, with two kids. Apparently they wanted to feel one with nature and live more in harmony, integrated in nature. Whatever they were on, I want double! Read more »

Hotel City: Just Another Facebook Game App

I was so happy that I got myself cured from my Cafe World addiction, but alas, my freedom is short-lived! I am now currently addicted to Hotel City, another time management Facebook game app. Augh, when will this madness end! Hotel City is pretty similar to Restaurant City or Cafe World, except that you are taking care of a Hotel. You can hire friends  as your staff and you can decorate every room of your hotel, from the furniture to the wallpaper. What I like about Hotel City: It needs less maintenance compared to other games like Farmville or Cafe World. While the other games require you to track multiple Read more »

iPad Bling. LOLWUT? Whiskey Tango…

We’ve seen it all already here. Or at least I have and really would love to add the Foxtrot part to the title but instead, this is one of those moments when you just think ‘Whiskey Ta… Yes, make it a double Lagavulin please. No rocks, don’t water my stuff down!‘ You think here at ForeverGeek we haven’t seen a thing yet? Really? What about those BlingVaders? Or the shark tattoo stump? So… Yeah we’ve seen it all and be happy that we save you of all the yawnsers that land in our inbox day after day. But sometimes there’s a true WTF moment we just have to share with Read more »

A short film to promote a video game

I am officially obsessed with the forthcoming video game Alan Wake. I was at E3 in 2005 when it was first unveiled, and I got to see it behind closed doors last year as well. I can tell you pretty much anything you want to know about the game, and as it happens, I’m wearing my prized Alan Wake t-shirt as I type this (which I got at the aforementioned E3 ’05). I am counting the days until May 18th, when this most astounding of video games is finally bestowed upon us. So why all the obsession? Because it comes from Remedy, the company that brought us Max Payne, a Read more »

All I Need, awesome stop-motion video by Juan José López

Probably when I told you yesterday that I’m a big fan of video art and Bill Viola, you lifted your shoulder and thought ‘So what’. But little did you know what was coming. I really hope you like awesome animation, especially stop-motion video as much as I do because I will post you every cool video I find. Run or instead, enjoy the awesome art that stop-motion video can be. Today’s video is not only awesome animation but also has the abso-frakkin-lutely perfect soundtrack in the tunes of Radiohead’s “All I Need”. The artist: Juan José López. The story: watch it, it’s awesome and with lots of WTF!? moments. Read more »
