Jul 22 2009 That's Geeky: Poster Of Computer Hardware

This is a poster of computer hardware designed by deviantART user Sonic480. Since it's kind of small, you can see a full size version HERE. Then, print it out and tack it to the ceiling above your bed. Move over, Megan Fox, there's a new poster in town my room. Just look at those CPU sockets -- YOW YOW!

Thanks again to GreenBoss, who once beat FuchsiaBoss in a silicon chip eating contest.

May 18 2009 How To: Get Free WiFi During Your Commute

Like this. At least that's how they do it in Moscow. From Russia With Love, baby! Also, with nesting dolls and bacon vodka. Suck it, Mr. Bond, you just got stirred!

Hit the jump for another shot of the girl in action just in case you thought it was fake or something. OH YEAH -- WELL YOUR DIAMOND IS FAKE!

Mar 31 2009 Puff Puff Pass: USB Smokeless Cigarettes

Need a nicotine fix but can't leave your cube? No problem! Puff on a Health E-Cigarette from Thanko! Identical to pretty much ever other electronic cigarette out there, the $30 device "uses a heating element to vaporize a nicotine solution to supposedly give you a purer smoking experience", which is just fancy marketing jargon for, "short-circuit and burn your office to the ground". Trust me folks, I hold a Master's in Marketing. And also, Lovemaking. You see this? You see this move I'm doing right now? Senior thesis, baby.

Thanks to Julian, who once got caught smoking a tampon in the boy's room because some upperclassmen told him it was a cigar.

Mar 5 2009 Docking: What The Hell Did I Just Watch?

I really have no idea what I just watched but it reminded me of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Also, I think it carried a powerful message. One about doing it. In space.

Thanks to C, who has actually done it in space and always tells me the story and it makes me so jealous.

Jun 26 2008 R2-D2 And Darth Vader USB Hubs Are Legit

It's a well known fact that USB hubs come in all shapes and sizes, so it was only a matter of time before some company licensed a few Star Wars models. And here they are: R2-D2 and Darth Vader. R2 moves his head from side to side and lights up and makes boopity beep boop noises and Vader's eyes glow red and he breathes heavy while he, too, turns his head. They'll be available next month for about $66 and I'm definitely buying an R2. Or, I dunno, demanding one in exchange for not writing a scathing review.

Hit the jump for a video of the hubs in action!

Jan 22 2008 Tiny Bluetooth Adapter Will Get Lost Easily

Brando, maker of some of the best products of the century is actually producing a product with some use -- the ultra-tiny USB Bluetooth Adapter. The unit "allows for a working range of more than 10 meters, with a 723 Kbps data rate transmission." They run $24 and are very small. But don't worry -- while it is tiny, you'll still be able to locate the device in the dryer by the noise it makes while it bounces around in there. And on a completely unrelated note, this picture just gave me the idea for a great "get rich quick" scheme. You know what I'm thinking don't you? That's right, I'm going to print a million copies of this picture and pass the pennies off as real ones. Brilliant, I know. I certainly didn't get this "Good Eater" award because I'm stupid.
