I’ll be the first to admit that I’m the kind of geek who spends most of my time in front of a computer or with a controller in my hands. Naturally, I’m going to want food during this time, and chips are an easy go-to snack. The downside is that…

The moderately powerful PC you yourself put together: $600. Your choice of Linux distro: Free. Having the geekiest credit card: Priceless.

The Linux Foundation credit card has no annual fee, low starting APR (although as Forever Geek’s Noemi Twigg pointed out, the APR inflates from 0% on the first month…

Greeting card illustrator Dan Liuzzi originally wanted to wear a giant version of his head for Halloween. Why? Who knows? Maybe he secretly thinks his head is too small, and Halloween gave him a great excuse to correct his anatomy, even for just one night. Anyway, his plans for a…

We’re not really sure why anyone would go through the trouble of building humanoid wall-climbing robots like these ones. There are certainly faster ways to scale a wall. Maybe they made them just so bloggers like me would write about them? Who knows?

Lyshco is a member of the Overclockers in Australia forum and he just finished working on this racing ottoman. He placed a…

I am old enough now to admit that Sesame Street creeped me out as a kid. I don’t want some grumpy, green monster living in my trashcan or a giant yellow bird dropping by to play. Back in my day, Elmo was not the favorite, I was more a Cookie…

I am forgetful when it comes to car maintenance. If my car didn’t ding to tell me when I had 50 miles of driving range left on a tank of gas, I would know the roadside assistance dude by name. I know without a doubt if I had an electric…

Stylish watches aren’t just made in Japan. That’s what Nooka has proven time and time again. Their latest watch is called the Zub Zayu and I have to say that it looks pretty unique.

This new watch features the largest LCD display in Nooka’s Zub collection. Even if this watch…
