Geek Tip: What Is A Sidejacking Attack?

I personally think that Geeks are not only into geeky things like anime, comics and gadgets. They should also be tech-savvy. And when I say tech-savvy, I don’t just mean that they know how to use computers and the internet. They should be able to understand things at a “computer scientist’s” (for a lack of better term, hehe. B.S. of Computer Science anyone?) point of view. Here’s a little geek tip I’ve come across just recently. This video was posted almost 3 years ago, but I bet your badoodles not a lot of people are aware of this. I sure wasn’t! Now I’m actually scared of using those free Wi-Fi Read more »

Geek Girl Crush: Robert Downey, Jr On Jay Leno

Ok, I can’t stand this. I need an Iron Man / Robert Downey, Jr. detox. PRONTO! Ever since I got back from watching Iron Man 2 from the movie theater, all I’ve been thinking about (mostly) is either Iron Man related or Robert Downey, Jr. related. I watched Iron Man 1 again on DVD, I’ve watched a couple of Robert Downey, Jr’s old movies, the Invincible Iron Man 2007 and I’m trying to get a copy of the complete Iron Man The Animated Series, too! And now, I even watched Jay Leno just because I heard that Robert Downey, Jr was going to be the guest for tonight. I don’t Read more »

WoWeekly: Cataclysm Screenshots and Children's Week

A new Cataclysm screenshot came out today, after the news of the start of the Cataclysm Alpha testing. Hopefully, new screenshot teasers will come out since more people will be play-testing the new expansion. I’m sooo envious of those alpha testers! Unfortunately though, it’s not open to the public and is only available to friends and family of Blizzard employees, hence the name “Cataclysm Friends & Family Alpha”. So if you get any email claiming to give you access to become an alpha, it is most probably a SCAM. Mmmkay? Any Blizzard employee want to adopt or marry me? Haha. Read more »

5 Geek-gasmic Scenes From Iron Man 2

I just came from watching Iron Man 2 in the theater today so forgive me if I seem like a squeal-y little fan girl. I swear to the geek gods, Iron Man is SOOO COOL! (and Robert Downey, Jr. is SO HOT!) Among all the movie adaptations of Marvel, Iron Man is probably the best for me, this coming from a geek who know absolutely nothing about Iron Man, sad to say. Hardcore Iron Man fanatics might have other opinions, though. Before you continue reading on, let me remind you that this post contains a few spoilers (SPOILER ALERT!). Just warning you, because I don’t want to be the one Read more »

I’m all for wearing geek shirts and accessories. But as a geekgirl, plain geekiness is just not enough. It has to be geek CHIC. Tokidoki is known for being a brand most girls go ga-ga over.

For the geek boys, if you wish to transform your significant other into a geek, get her one of these! She doesn’t have to know the Marvel bit. Just tell her it’s Toki Doki and I promise you, she’ll wear it with no Read more »

The JEJEMON Phenomenon: do U~ speak lyK~ ThIs, n0H?

My country, the Philippines is experiencing the JEJEMON Phenomenon. Jejemon (n): Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals Hu LyK 2 TyP LyK diZS jejejeje; Jejemonn (n): Anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways. Jejemon (n): an offshoot of the subculture popularity of Pokemon and while the latter means “pocket monsters”; Jejemons are often seen as “Jejeje monsters” for their ability to turn off and annoy people with their “foreign” style of writing.

Funny Star Wars Pic: The Imperial Procession

Being the geek girl that I am, this deviantART from ~MSipher just totally made my day! Aside from the witty caption, the pink R2-D2 (or R2-KT, which is real and not just a pink painted R2-D2 by the way) right smack in the middle of the all the ‘men’ just totally cracks me up. For some weird reason, I see the R2-KT as some naughty little robot girl trying to be one of the big boys. Lol. [ Image property of ~MSipher ] 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 »
