The popular deck building game, Ascension is no stranger at Forevergeek.

Alan contacted Justin Gary’s crew asking for help. He wanted to do an elaborate wedding proposal during one of their gaming sessions. It appears that Ascension was the all time game of choice between the couple.

Home Security Innovations for Modern Living

How many of us secretly love showing off our gadgets but also fear to have it stolen? When I got my iPhone for the first time two years ago I almost didn’t dare take it out in public for fear of it being stolen, which happens rather often in the city. There are measures you can take to prevent your stuff being stolen when on the road. The most known advice is to use non-expensive looking bags to keep for example your camera gear or laptop. I for one always carry a messenger bag which makes it almost impossible to be stolen by a passerby while I have it on Read more »

The Daily Routine of a Web Geek

While browsing the web and going through all my daily sites I come across a comic depicting exactly what I’m doing. As a matter of fact what I do everyday: check email, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, feeds, statistics, news and all that over and over again between work. I’m sure everyone who needs internet to do their job or even those who don’t spend at least an hour or two a day mindless clicking through all sites like mentioned above and more. This comic aptly named “Jus’ Checkin’” is something we can all identify with. Read more »

Geek Baby: Onesies and Bibs

My wife and I had our first child a month ago, and I’ve been on the constant search for cool things to do with my baby. See for dads – at least for me – the baby portion of life really isn’t very eventful. After all, I’m not the baby factory, and so I’m not going to be the food source. Instead, I occasionally hang out with him on the couch, change a diaper or 12, but otherwise, it’s just not very exciting. I can’t take him to his first ballgame or anything, and it’s not like we can go check out Avatar with a stroller, so instead, I come Read more »

Who's surprised that women geek out on tech too?

I had to laugh when I read the latest report from one of the UK’s leading electrical retailers. Comet’s “Tech Census” has found something ‘amazing’ — women are comfortable with gadgets as well as men. I know the stereotype is that guys know everything about consumer electronics, technology, the Internet and gadgets, while girls apparently just sit around cluelessly tapping away on their mobile phone as if it were no different to a remote control, but seriously… this ‘revelation’ is really nothing new. I’ve always thought there are just as many girls as guys who are into technology. The tech industry may still be male-dominated, but I see plenty of Read more »

Geek The Library: My Idea Of Heaven

If you were to feel my heartbeat right now, you would be amazed. The moment I read the words “geek” and “library” in one phrase, I knew that I would find something to make me high. Just so you have the context – one of my dreams is to become a librarian. Yes, it is not every day that you find someone who would admit to that, but since I left university, I have always seen myself practicing this profession one day. So when I heard about the Geek The Library movement, I was ecstatic. What’s Geek The Library all about? Read more »
