A modern development and improvement on the old sand ant farms are the AntWorks ant habitats. This habitat uses a special gel instead of sand. The gel setup was originally [...]
YouTube Star Tay Zonday
I really did not notice Tay Zonday’s music until a few days ago when he released his latest song, “Do the Can’t Dance.” When I saw the new video, I thought Wow, Tay is really an awesome singer. And the theme of the song appeals to me as geeks can’t dance. I then checked out [...]

Microwave Popcorn Can Kill

Aerobie Aeropress Coffee & Espresso Maker Review
I enjoy a hot cup of coffee every now and then. But, I never had any interest in learning how to brew the coffee (cooking is really not my thing). I have always bought my coffee from restaurants and coffee shops. When I came across the Aerobie Aeropress Coffee & Espresso Maker while searching the [...]

The Funslides Carpet Skates Review
Recently, Judie did a post about the FunSlides Carpet Skates. Because of a technical glitch with our email server, I never got the team email about reviewing them. It was after Judie did her write up on the skates that I thought to myself, these may be just the thing to solve the problem my [...]
Most Bizarre Works of Art
I really don’t remember how I came across the art of Nate Hill, but his work really caught my attention. You see, his art supplies are very unique in that they are not the typical canvas, paint, clay or anything that you would think of being used for art. He uses animal parts that he [...]

iPhone Disassembled!
While some may consider my disinterest in and not wanting a iPhone to be considered sacrilegious of being a geek, I do however find the iPhone disassembly pictures very interesting. I really like seeing how things are made and what hides under its outer casing. It appears the very same day that the iPhone came [...]

Last month, Ded Pyhto, a software company which develops psychological application software, released Subliminal Flash version 3.0. Subliminal Flash is a Windows application that runs in the background displaying messages at speeds that the conscious mind is unable to see, but the subconscious mind is able to. When I read the release information about the [...]
Feeding My Need for Gaming and Star Wars Action
On Monday I bought the DS version of Star Wars: Lethal Alliance and surprise to me, the game actually is very good. IGN gave the game a poor, and based on that, I did not buy the game when it was released back in December 2006. Since, the DS game scene has been lacking games [...]
