If you’re an iPhone user, you probably wouldn’t care, but you might get something out of this anyway. I just discovered this web site called Accessory Geeks and they claim to “kindly and persistently apply our geeky image to enhance our customer service, provide unconventional products, and build A Geek memory with all our customers only available at Accessory Geeks. We firmly believe in our motto Geeky people, Geeky service, Geeky experience.” Read the rest of this entry »

Who would want to see Steve Jobs in his birthday clothes? How about Bill Gates? Well, I know I wouldn’t! But we have to admit – there are geeks who are smokin’ hot, and this is what the Nude London Tech calendar has to offer everyone.

Can you believe it? It’s been five years since this awesome Internet browser was first launched! I still remember using it for the first time – a couple of months after it was released – and vowing to myself that I would never use Internet Explorer again. Yes, that vow has been kept conscientiously; and I am willing to bet an arm and a leg that a lot of you have been thanking the powers that be for Firefox as well! Read the rest of this entry »

When I say screens, I mean the display thingie that you look at when you use your gadgets. I just read about a study carried out in South Australia which shows that people there have almost five times as many screens as the residents in each home. At first, I thought to myself, “Big deal!” The more I thought about it, though, I realized that it is indeed an interesting piece of trivia. Read the rest of this entry »

I love the name, but will the gadget make us fall in love as well? I stumbled upon a new gadget that promises to satisfy the Internet cravings of those on the go while at the same time provide an excellent e-book reading experience. You know how the colorful screens of “ordinary” netbooks are not that conducive to reading (especially in broad daylight)? Well, this gadget guarantees to get rid of that problem.

If the recent survey by Gadget Helpline is to be believed, you will answer no to that question if you are a guy. If you are a woman, then your answer will be yes. BBC ran a story on the survey, which took into account the “gadget habits” of men and women. It brought to mind what happens in my own home.

Hubby tears apart the wrapping of a gift, then carefully opens the box. The gadget will be handled lovingly, plugged in, and then this pensive look appears on his face. Where would I be during all this? You got it – leafing through the thick manual, because I know that at some point, I will be asked a question or two about what to do because something’s not right.

Buying and owning gadgets these days involve a lot of things. Not only do you have to think about the gadget itself, but you also have to choose from a plethora of accessories. One of the most common accessories that gadget owners look for in earnest is the case, or housing, or whatever you want to call it. After all, one wants to be able to keep his mobile phone, mp3 player, or other gadget intact and scratch-free. More than that, a cool looking case will certainly inspire the envy of other gadget freaks out there. Read the rest of this entry »

Who would have thought that Steve Jobs loved ice cream? Then again, who does NOT love ice cream? Crave recently ran a very mouth-watering feature on the ultimate geek recipes – that is, favorite recipes of the best known geeks in the world (past and present) – and I have to say that the Apple founder’s current dessert favorite tops my list.

Is it just me or is everyone using “my” and “i” in front of words to name products and services these days? The reason for my asking this is that I was just looking at a new product from Duracell, dubbed myGrid. Not that I am complaining – I think the name’s actually cool, although it may not really tell you much about the product. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, trust Retrevo to get you where you want to be. They conducted a “Gadgetology study,” where they were able to figure out what goes on in the brains of iPhone users.

One of the main things that concerns me when packing for a trip (whether it’s to the beach or to visit my hometown) is how I am going to lug around all my gadgets and their respective chargers. Most of the time, I just have a separate bag where I put all the cords and toys together so I know exactly where to pull them out of when the time arises.

Here’s a neat little invention that can solve those issues – the Neuber Energy Sun Bag. It’s basically a carrying bag and charger all in one. It has some Konarka Power Plastic solar panels on the outside, ensuring that you will have enough juice even if you go to the middle of nowhere with no electric power. All you need is the power of the sun and you’re good to go! Read the rest of this entry »

How much effort do you put into improving yourself? I am NOT talking about the physical aspect, but more of the intellectual aspect. Alright, maybe it is a given that you are smarter than all the people around you put together; but to put a different spin to that famous Forrest Gump quote, smart is as smart does. Admit it, we all need to do some reading and studying in order to keep up with the times.

Self-improvement need not be expensive, thanks to the FREE online courses that are available to practically anyone that I stumbled upon. The web site, Online Courses, offers “100 Incredible Open Courses for the Ultimate Tech Geek,” and let me tell you this: the courses are indeed incredible! Read the rest of this entry »

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.

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.

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, but I think that it’s just perfect.

Now as I said, I am no fashion expert, but I think that the shape of the dress has an understated look, making it just right for those who do not want to turn too many heads. That will not matter much, though, as I think that the tetris design will definitely turn every head in the vicinity! I also like the touch of the neckline as it is not too low but low enough to show what some geek girls are hiding underneath those comfy shirts! ;)

Whatcha think girls, would you wear this dress? Guys? Would you hit on a geek girl wearing such a dress?

By the way, since we’re looking at a Tetris dress, you might be interested to know that there are other Tetris-themed accessories out there.

Smileys or emoticons – whatever you want to call them, they have proliferated everyday communication the world over. From text lingo to chat lingo to e-mail – emoticons are the rave these days. Perhaps because they transcend language barriers, emoticons are use by practically everyone.

Then again, there are those who have had enough of these “cute” little things. I can name a LOT of people who would call you out for using emoticons in your e-mails. I have to admit, though, that I do like to use a smiley or two every now and then; but what do you think of brightening up your home with emoticons?

Take a look at this shower curtain from Bed Bath & Beyond.

Dubbed the Text Talk 70″ x 72″ Vinyl Shower Curtain, this shower curtain will set you back $14.99. If you think it’s a little pricey, think about the fact that it can give you ideas for emoticons! More so, this shower curtain is made of PEVA material, which is eco-friendly. It also comes with metal hooks – heavy duty, no less (for the life of me, I don’t know why I would need heavy duty shower curtain hooks).

There’s more – check this out.

These are magnets from Shanalogic, and cost $15 for nine black and white 2.25” buttons. They might just look good on your fridge OR your office cubicle. I think I would prefer the shower curtain, though. What about you?
