His image is now the stuff of legend: Ghyslain Raza, the Star Wars kid, aged 15, got the attention and ridicule of the Internet—especially its geek contingent—when footage of him wielding a golf ball retriever and fending off a horde of invisible vicious enemies surfaced. Granted, we geeks were a little less harsh. But unfortunately […]
Dishwashing (or washing up, depending on your location), while a calming and meditative time for some, is not everybody’s idea of fun. But fortunately it offers two factors which should appeal to any geeks: science and logic. Whether you’ve been taught by a kindly relative, discovered it from trial and error, or resorted to a […]

Or at least that’s how the story goes, but that story isn’t quite accurate. The app doesn’t actually involve sending SMS messages over the phone network. Instead, […]
When I stumbled on this this morning, I though that it would be another poorly composed amateur nerd-themed song, but boy was I wrong. Dave and Brian‘s “The Dork Anthem” has to be one of the most awesome music video I’ve listened to so far this year. I only have one problem with the name […]
