Almost every day something new and geeky finds its way to an Etsy store and often it’s difficult to keep up with all new awesome items on Etsy – or we think they’re cool but just not cool enough. This time though, user SceeneShoes caught my attention with a serious of handmade bras aimed at old-skool gamers and 8bit nostalgics. SceeneShoes has more 8bit items in store for Mario and Pokémon fans. Read more »
I just recently did a Star Wars photoshoot in Central GA with the 501st Legion and some amazing models and wanted to submit my blog that shows some of my favorites for your site and would love to get in the magazine!

The biggest change in the history of the internet has to be the emergence of video and streaming platforms over the last years. We here at FG obviously are big fans and stream anything we can get our hands on. Whether it’s a Youtube video or Hulu, using tools such as the built-in iPlayer on the PS3 or even software such as Boxee. Can you remember life without online video? I know I struggle.

Of course here at ForeverGeek most of us are movie fans and we do know better than one can imagine that there’s more than Star Wars only. Luckily many movies don’t make it and are never featured here on FG because in all honesty… Hollywood does produce more crap than anything else. Nevertheless many movies rake in billions, especially if directed by James Cameron or produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. There’s no doubt that these guys will ever need a credit loan because it seems that they were born in a basket called ‘Success’. They didn’t need to sell any scripts to be able to produce their first full length feature Read more »
There’s a periodic table for that!(TM) Anyone who has read ForeverGeek for a while knows that we are big fans of periodic tables. Don’t believe me? We even have a periodic table tag. Although not every author in the history of FG totally element focused was and would gladly leave out the creation of a new element from a geek-gasmic list, generally we do love our elements and periodic tables. So time for a roundup of periodic tables. While there are lots of periodic tables out there, we did stick to tables which at least do look like a genuine periodic table and not one of the many knock offs Read more »
There is no doubt about that if you take two popular topics, Banksy and The Simpsons, there’s at least one we do not write enough about here at ForeverGeek. The other we probably write too often about because who does not write about The Simpson anyway? It is a public secret that I am a big fan of Banksy’s street art and when I saw the title of a tweet combining both Banksy and The Simpsons, I don’t know anymore whether I was amused, excited or just thinking WTF. For the first time ever the crew around Matt Groenig have allowed a ‘third party’ artist to write the storyboard for Read more »
Some months ago some guru decided it was time to bombard the world with a new piece of hardware and make our bank account a little lighter. Much lighter. We had to do it, especially Mactards fanboys that we be… but I didn’t. I was tempted and almost raving about the new device and without having held it in my hands I wrote a glorified review 7 Reasons Why Bloggers Should Buy An iPad. But I didn’t. Now times have changed and I’m ready to splurge the cash. Not because I want another dust catcher on my coffee table or a portable device which does not fit in any pair Read more »
Did you know that every 14 days a language dies Most geeks love playing with language. Sadly too often too little is known about languages or the language families. While not everyone ought to be a polyglot, knowing more than one language is always a bonus. Having an insight in languages and their families can make learning another language easier even. This infographic looks at the most widespread language families, their use and also at the how many languages are known to have only very few (native) speakers anymore. The team of Infographiclabs created this graphic, which first appeared on Freelance Writing Jobs. Read more »
