Jul 15 2009 'Rad To The Power Of Sick' BMX Bike Actually (Successful) Experiment In Creative Marketing
That's right, the infamous 'Rad to the power of Sick' BMX bike ad on eBay was actually created by a couple guys doing an experiment (The Wicked Sick Project) to determine if some creative marketing could drive up an otherwise regular item's sale price. Obviously, it worked. And, keeping with today's theme of Geekologie's world domination, your favorite website makes a cameo in the video at 2:55. I guess what I'm getting at is this: WHERE'S MY CUT OF THE PROFITS YOU SONS OF BITCHES?! You think the booze that fuels Geekologie pays for itself? You think my girlfriend doesn't make me pay the water bill for staying with her? You think strippers tip themselves just because I'm handsome? Okay, the last one is actually true. Go ahead Savannah, give yourself another single -- you've earned it.
Thanks to mike, whose bike horn alone is enough to get women pregnant.
Jul 25 2008 Eye Candy: Geeky Stained Glass Art Gallery
This is a beautiful stained glass gallery of geekdom. That's Vader there, modeled after a drawing by a 6-year old (seriously). After the jump you'll find all kinds of goodness like Link, Mega Man, Einstein, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill, the electromagnetic spectrum, Spider Man, and Master Chief. Hit the jump see them all -- but not hard or they might break. Sorry, a little glass humor there. Here's another one:
There's a stained glass window and a regular window in the same room.
Stained Glass Window: I can see through you.
Regular Window: Clearly.
HAHA HA HA HA AH AHA H AH! I just made that up. I swear, I should really do stand up -- but I love lying down! HIYO! I'm here till 5 folks, make sure to tip your bartender.
Carefully hit the jump for a bunch more, you want to see them. Also, hit the link for a little explanation of each piece.

Jul 23 2008 Wicked Stop-Motion Video From PES
We've seen some pretty wicked stop-motion videos in the past, and even some by the same director as this one. And, well, this is his latest, entitled Western Spaghetti. It's about cooking spaghetti and is amazingly well done. I'd totally eat that. Mmm, rubber bands and yarn, now that's eating like a king.
Seriously, watch the video -- you'll be amazed, and, if you're anything like me, depressed at your own level of creativity.

Mar 25 2008 Really Awesome Alphabet Pop-Up Book
ABC3D is a pop-up book featuring the alphabet. Each letter is displayed in a creative way. I watched the video two times. I really liked the music too. They're available for pre-order on Amazon for $20, which isn't too bad. Unfortunately you can't use it to teach your children the alphabet because then they'll never be able to recognize letters in 2D.
