So we’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption in our house lately, and it’s got me on another cowboy kick. And with all this talk about Cowboys & Aliens and Jonah Hex, well, I’m in a bit of a tizzy. I love cowboys. I truly do. And I have them to thank for many of my […]
By Jimmy Rogers (@me) Contributing Writer, [GAS] Back in May, our own Casey created a fantastic pictorial alphabet for geeks. Well another one has popped up on the interwebs…full of comic book heroes, TV show characters, and the occasionally obscure fanboy reference…right up your alley, right? Check out these choice letters! D is for Doctor See […]
Hey Everyone! Just a quick post to let you guys know about our new AWESOME t-shirts! The first idea comes from the mind of Jöshua, who won one of the prizes in the “design a t-shirt” contest we held a few months ago. The shirt was inspired by Newton’s second law of motion (F = […]
Okay, so technically there is no such thing. But stay with me a moment and let me explain. So I totally missed the ball yesterday for Earth Day. I’m sorry, Earth. It’s nothing personal. It’s not like I was dumping garbage around my back yard and leaking batteries into the soil. No, I took a […]
The last day of PAX East, I was exhausted. I didn’t feel like putting on a dress or pantyhose, so I went with something simpler: my bright pink cardigan, jeans, and an I <3 Steampunk shirt my awesome friend and artist Brigid Ashwood gave me. Then I put my glasses on, turned to my husband […]

Summer approaches, and if you’re like me, the life of a geek tends to make thoughts of stepping out in front of other people in your bathing suit a little terrifying. Wii Fit aside, many games (*cough*DragonAge*cough*) play to our obsessive sides, and make it so easy to spend hours with our rear ends parked […]
Joe Quirk takes a look at the implications of evolutionary biology in the human mating ritual we call “spring break” in the article The Geek’s Guide To Getting Girls. He starts out wondering “what do women want?” I have to sigh a little every time I hear that one. Women want everything. Just like men. […]
If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll probably remember the Pantless Knights, the guys behind the “I’m on a Mac” and “Mac or PC” raps. Well folks, this intrepid team of geeks is back with a new song, and this time they’re singing the praises of geekdom to the world. Check it out: […]
Now this is hard core geek awesome. As a long-time Mac user, myself, I was absolutely floored by this Instructables piece by gmjhowe. Here were his guidelines—the end result is nothing short of gorgeous: 1. Do not alter, cut, deform, change, or break the original Mac in anyway, I wanted to be able to return […]
