Hi everyone! Just a quick post to let you know about our new official t-shirt! Designed by [GaS] reader Autumn Rain Turkel, the design of this shirt was partly inspired by John Hughes’s 1980s-classic Weird Science. By purchasing one of our shirts, you’ll be helping us in our never ending quest to spread geekiness worldwide [...]
Marketing a website isn’t always easy, especially when you do not have a clear picture about your audience. Oh, in the case of Geeks are Sexy, we have a fair idea of who you guys are, but we would be eternally grateful if we could take 5 minutes of your time to answer this brief [...]
Good morning, Geeksaresexy.net readers! I wanted to take a moment just to say hi and introduce myself. So here goes! The Basics: My name is Natania and I’m a geek. I’m also a mom, a wife, and a writer. I’ve been a geek since I was a kid, and thankfully embraced it about halfway through [...]
One thing I’ve found with respect to The Sims over the years is that it’s really, really hard to explain why the game is fun to someone who doesn’t get it. “Right, and then you make them shower! And you send them to work! And don’t forget that they have to clean the toilet!” So [...]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Spotting silly vanity license plates is always a fun activity, especially double-innuendo or borderline-obscene ones. But some of the best still come from those who show their geek pride on their bumpers. Kudos to the clever Flickr photographers who make a hobby of spotting geeky license plates! And of [...]

In his 2007 book The Cult of the Amateur, Andrew Keen analogized T.H. Huxley’s “infinite monkey theorem” to the rise of Web 2.0.

Apple is planning to release an iProd. And no, that is not a typo. The device is one of four works-in-progress which have been exposed by those folks who enjoy nosing around the coding of the iPhone operating system (as opposed to, say, making phone calls or listening to music). They’ve noticed the upcoming third [...]
Enrolment in computer science courses in American universities was up 6.2% last year, the first annual rise since 2002. It appears students believe computing is one of the few safe areas in an economic slowdown. There’s also a rise in the number of jobs available for teaching computer courses in universities, though the report authors [...]
Well folks, I don’t really know what to say about this. It seems that one of you nominated me for the 2009 Blogger Appreciation Awards on Cellphones.org. I normally wouldn’t blog about this, but since the first prize is more than interesting (They’ll pay my phone bill for a year), and that my wife just [...]
By Brian Boyko Contributing Writer, [GAS] You’ve probably seen something like this before, but never this well. ArcAttack uses two eight foot Tesla coils and a robotic percussion band in order to play music. In addition to the interview with one of the ArcAttack members, John DiPrima, that we’ve conducted for our series on crazy [...]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Today’s pics post is brought to you by the letter V, for Valentine’s Day. After all, geeks need love, too!
