Jul 15 2009Geekologie: Legit News Source Cited By CNN
This is the part of the day where I toot my own horn *BLAAAAAT!* because Geekologie is so awesome. So, you remember the post about the texting teen that fell into a manhole? Well CNN cited Geekologie (action is at 0:30) in a television news story about the incident. SHAZAM! Now who's a legitimate news source? This site. Oh, breaking story! -- Geekologie Writer named world's greatest lover. Run with it, CNN.

Thanks to Jonathan, who saw the report in the airport and nearly lost his luggage.

Congratulations, Geekology.
I'm going to stop wasting time reading newspapers and watching silly news channels. From now on I'm getting all my latest news from here!
Only fools keep up to date on things like the American Economy and N. Korea missile tests...I need to know about the Robot Apocalypse and survival techniques.

32. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 15, 2009 11:23 AM
GW should let Thumper run this shit. That way we'll go back to the cool shit that used to be on here EVERYDAY. What happened to the steampunk stuff? What's with the bacon facination? When did Twilight become geeky? Thumper will fix all these problems and more if elected class pres...the new Geekologie Writer.
33. Illuminati - July 15, 2009 11:26 AM

This is "blog" right?

Geekologie is part of Anticlown media. Although I don't think the GW is from San Diego. He doesn't talk like it.

i cite you as credible all the time. wtf is my plug bitch? not to mention...what a horrible time to have cnn on your side. what with the michael jackson death being all that's happening ever in the history of time ever again apparently.
congrats i guess.
68. naas - July 15, 2009 12:43 PM
@65 absolutely GFS
@STOMPY - GW moves around a lot like bin laden & he has server location scramblers (SLSs) that masks his location.
Daisy also mentioned something once about how GW drives around in a jeep with a generator, broadcasting equipment & some chick that was into him - posting to geekologie illegally & running from the police for a pirate radio station he hosted
69. Freddy K - July 15, 2009 12:44 PM
wow about 60 posts and no Daisy...
This is awesome. Nice going GW.
#32 GFS, Most of the steampunk stuff is lame (some cool stuff, but I don't need to see it everyday), bacon is awesome, but I have to agree with you on the Twilight thing. WTF was that about?
also twat
70. RK - July 15, 2009 12:47 PM

That's why I always appreciate being able to use the "Email and Walk" app on my iPhone. Turns your camera on and displays the feed behind your email so you can see where your walking as you email... this should be a feature in all the iPhone apps!
But yes. Geekologie was right. The girls a moron! of course I've walked into low hanging branches and crap while on my phone so I guess I am too! CRAP!

88. Hervard Merved - July 15, 2009 3:00 PM
First of all - congratulations with the exposure ( theres is no such thing as bad publicity, especially not on CNN ;_)
On topic: They should just put the same feature in cellphones as they have in cars that have tv´s; the videosource cuts of when the car is moving.
They already have the motiondetection and the GPS unit - just make cellphones that you can´t text on while your walking. I would buy that for my chldren, when they are old enough ( which I decide ) to own and use cellphones.
Which means that I have to get some children to proove my point...hmm
