Get Your Buzz On With These Star Trek Drinks

You know how sometimes your days go by in a blur?  These past two weeks have been like that for me, but it’s all good.  With a little juice here and there, everything just seemed to fall right into place.  Yes, my name is Noemi Twigg, but no, I am not an alcoholic.  I do appreciate a good drink, though. (Who doesn’t?) If you share the same sentiments about alcoholic drinks AND if you’re a Star Trek fan, here is a bunch of drinks that will definitely not leave you wanting.  Then again, you just might want to keep on drinking, if only to sustain the whatever illusion you may Read more »

Boldly Go Where Lot's Of Pizza Has Gone Before, Get In My Tummy

We don’t post a lot of “Gadgets” on Forevergeek, most of the time their “techie” but not quite “geeky” but in the case of the Star Trek Starship Enterprise Pizza Cutter it’s just a whole new level of eatery awesomeness. Available at ThinkGeek for the semi-low price of just $25, this piece of art, yeah I said art, will have all our Trekker friends pissed off that your pizza tastes better than theirs (ForeverGeek claim: we can not guarantee that your pizza will taste better).

Want to Learn a New Language? Try Na'vi.

Want to Learn a New Language? Try Na'vi.

Last week, the first ever opera in Klingon was held at The Hague. Language enthusiasts can’t help but get excited about something like that, even though the idea of learning a “fake” language may seem silly to some. (Think about it though – is there really such a thing as a fake language?) Needless to say, Star Trek fans are absolutely delighted about this development. I suppose that even those who don’t know Klingon will want to see the opera should it be shown again. Before you decide to learn Klingon now, though, you might want to know that there is another “exotic” language that you can pick up: Na’vi. Read more »

Need More Culture in Your Life? Watch a Klingon Opera

Going to the opera is not everyone’s cup of tea, but this new opera being showcased in The Hague (Netherlands) just might make even the staunchest “opponents” of opera go watch it.  Dubbed “u,” the opera is the first production ever to be sung completely in an alien language.  Foreign language enthusiast, are you?  Forget it – those operas are nothing compared to “u,” which is in Klingon! (At least in terms of novelty.) Trekkies would already know what “u” means in English, but for the benefit of those of us who do not speak the language, it translates to “universe” or “universal.” That should give us an idea what Read more »

An Embarrassment to Geeks Everywhere

This train wreck defies explanation, but here’s what I can tell you: take the theme song to Star Trek: The Next Generation, and add a singing Trekkie, in uniform — with lyrics he wrote himself. His voice is actually pretty decent. Watch for the toy Enterprise cameo that’s oh-so-realistic. It’s because of people like this that geeks are such a clichéd punchline. I don’t know whether to laugh or cringe. Read more »

This Is What Would Happen If William Shatner Directed Star Trek [Video]

My favorite viral videos are those that have “characters” who may be less “character” and more real life, take for example this Star Trek fan who created his own “shout out” to the major characters of the popular TV series. With lyrics like “Here they go in a large tin can, give me warp five as fast as you can” I don’t get why this guy hasn’t already landed a jingle deal. Enough babbling, here’s the video with real life “special effects” and a decently authentic looking Trekker outfit. Read more »

15 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek

I just stumbled across this infographic about Star Trek, yes another inforgraphic, and had to share it here. I’m not a Trekkie but I did watch Voyager regularly when it was on TV. I only know one fact on this list and that’s the one about William Shatner selling his kidney stone. Most notorious fact to me: Zachary Quinto had to glue his fingers together to perform the Vulcan salute when he played Spock. I feel good to know this because I don’t come even close to perform the Vulcan salute, I would have to glue my fingers too to be able to. I wonder if there are Trekkies who Read more »

Shakespeare And Geeks

April 23 is traditionally celebrated as Shakespeare’s birthday, although Shakespeare geeks would know that this day isn’t really when he was born. In fact, he died on the 23rd of April 1616. Since his exact date of birth isn’t known, this day has been designated as the celebration for his birthday. Isn’t that pretty cool? Anyhow, even if it has been several days since this date, I thought it would be fun to point out how you could celebrate the life of one of the greatest – if not THE greatest – writers who lived. Geekosystem has compiled a pretty cool list of ways by which you can celebrate the Read more »

The first must-have iPad app

If you’re a geek, and you have a pulse, then at one time or another, you have wanted a PADD. That’s “Personal Access Data Device,” to any non-Trekkers out there. I’m talking, of course, about the handheld computer of choice for crew members onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. A few simple taps and gestures were all it took to manipulate this powerful personal tablet, and an enterprising (had to do it) fan out there has brought us one step closer to having a PADD of our own. “Captain’s Log” is a simple little iPad app that doesn’t really do anything all that new or innovative — and that’s beside the point, Read more »

Geek Baby: Onesies and Bibs

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 »
