Nov 15 2009 Geekologie Reader Gets Cisco Bars Tattoo

Because I love you all and am so proud of your accomplishments, here's Geekologie Reader Brian's recent Cisco Systems "bars" tattoo. For those of you not in the know, it's a stylized version of the Golden Gate Bridge. AND YES TATTOOS COUNT AS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. But, no matter what your BFF may have told you, being first in the comments doesn't.

Thanks Brian, and remember to get those moles looked at regularly.

Oct 23 2009 Geekiest Game Of Scrabble Ever Played?

First of all, acronyms aren't allowed in Scrabble. Or proper names. Making this 'the least played by the rules' game of Scrabble ever. That aside, is it the geekiest? Maybe -- you be the judge. I will be the jury. Except, instead of paying attention and taking notes, I'll be doing a Sudoku. You hear that, court system? STOP CALLING ME FOR JURY DUTY! I have the attention span of

Jun 24 2009 A Match Made In Plastic: A LEGO Proposal

We've all heard about LEGO themed proposals in the past (most of them choking hazards), but Ryan Wood went about it a little differently. Namely, by presenting his bride-to-be with a giant LEGO ring containing an actual engagement ring inside its clear diamond. Wow, how romantic (read: be thankful she said yes). Now, as a guy who has been married in the past -- and isn't in a relationship anymore, I've got to admit: ladies? Tip me. Literally -- I've been working hard for you!

Thanks to Julian and m0h, who proposed at the zoo right when a monkey was drinking its own urine. *swoon*

Dec 15 2008 Sure, Why Not?: 'Fanboys' Plan To Break Into To George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch

This is a preview for 'Fanboys', a movie about a group of nerds that want to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. But, as a guy whose been there, I've got to tell you: not all that exciting. Oh, and porn dungeon. Wait, make that alien porn dungeon. The dude's a freak.

Make sure to head over to Iwatchstuff for all you breaking movie news. The guy knows his stuff. And also, where you live. Don't f*** with him.

Thanks to Lee, who once worked on a project with George but had to bail when he realized he couldn't agree with Lucas' facial hair.

Nov 30 2008 "Stack The Memory": A Nerdy Rap Song

"Stack the Memory" by the Sniper Twins is a geeky rap song about computers. I thought it was pretty humorous, and definitely worth a watch. The video was very well made too. And I'm not just saying that because the twins called to tell me they've got my dome lined up in their crosshairs even as I type. But they totally do so please call the authorities. And tell them to bring extra pants. Oooh, and nachos -- my tummy's rumbling.

Thanks to Dax, one of the twins, for threatening to kill me.

Oct 31 2008 Eff It, I'm Going As A Dork: iPhone Costumes

While The Superficial Writer has been doing his patriotic duty posting hot celebrities in their Halloween costumes, I get stuck with a bunch of goofballs dressed as iPhones. What the f***. Anyway, I like the dog one. All the others suck, except for maybe the baby seat one. That one was cute. Seriously though, I see you dressed like an iPhone tonight, and I'm pushing your buttons. Figuratively. And, since it is Halloween, literally too. *BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP* I'm calling your mom!

Oct 16 2008 I'll Never Be Cold Again!: A LEGO Radiator

Allegedly this is a real radiator called the Brick, designed by architect Marco Baxadonne and manufactured by Scirocco. No word on price, but I think we can all agree that money is no object when it comes to a LEGO radiator. Unless it's more than $60, in which case, f*** it, I'm going with DUPLO.

Thanks to idid yamum, who, wait a minute!

Oct 8 2008 Mmmm, Delicious Mother Board Cakage

It's been a while since we've seen some scrumptious cakeologie here on Geekologie, but the wait is over! And as a man who's no stranger to eating computer components, I find this mother board cake utterly delicious looking. I mean, just look at those RAM wafers! You haven't lived until you've left a little memory in the back of your pants.

Hit the jump for one more mother cake.

Jul 11 2008 Dummy On Segway Kisses Another Dummy

This is allegedly a Segway crash-test video used to determine the effects (including potential eroticism) that can occur when someone plows their Segway into a stationary person. If you can't watch it, it basically looks like two dummies kissing. Honestly, I don't even know why they performed this test in the first place. I can tell you what happens when you crash your Segway into something: you look even stupider.

Jun 9 2008 Eye Candy/Poison: Wicked Gaming Tattoos

First off, I'll kick my current girlfriend to the curb and marry you if that's you in the picture (the chick with the ink, not one of the dudes). I mean that. The only way to the Geekologie Writer's heart is a permanent reminder that you love the Zelda series as much as I do. So ladies, if you're looking to get into these Umbros (I'm wearing them as boxers), now you know how. Just fire off an email with a picture of your Zelda-themed tattoo attached and we'll get our elope on. Then we'll honeymoon in Hyrule. I know people. Like a Goron that'll sell us some bombs. Seriously, what better way to profess our undying love for each other than blowing some shit up and stealing rupees from the townspeople? Now I know what you're thinking, and yes, that was the most romantic thing ever written.

More MUST SEE gaming tattoos after the jump, including several Marios, another Zelda, a Pac-Man on someone's ass (don't worry, I censored the crack) and the epicest of epic Star Wars tattoo just for the hell of it (why is guy's face blurred? I'd be proud as hell). Also a link to the 40+ picture gallery thats also worth checking out.

Jun 2 2008 Geek Side Is The Best Side: Geek Gang Signs

Here are some geek gang signs that some nerds came up with when they were working on a secret handshake. As you can see, they're pretty questionable. But not nearly as questionable as the leftover red beans and rice I just had for lunch. Half the beans jumped out of the bowl and tried to stab me with my own fork while the rice just sat there and watched. Long story short: I had to go hungry, which sucks because all I had for breakfast were two hits of paper and four bonghits.

Geek Gang Signs [accordianguy]

Thanks Shawn, now lets come up with a super-sweet Geekologie handshake. Got any ideas?

Apr 25 2008 Cat 5 Wedding Rings Let Everyone Know You're Connected To A Very Special Geek

Looking for a nice geeky ring to seal the deal with your special someone? How about these Cat 5 rings? No? Okay, just thought I'd throw it out there.

A wedding set for the unconventional! The female ring has a choice of four opaque colors: turquoise, white, orange or black. The male ring stands tall and dramatically transparent. Switch-up the sexes! Order two of the same! The world is your technological oyster.

First of all, the world is not my "technological" oyster. The world is my "kick me while I'm down and then punch me in the throat when I try to get up" oyster. Secondly, I didn't even propose to my wife, she proposed to me. You should have seen the ring she used. Okay, it wasn't so much a ring as it was brass knuckles. And sure, she wasn't so much proposing as she was punching me in the face and telling me to get off her property. But I think you get the point -- we're a match made in heaven. Well technically it was the alcohol safety class you have to take after two DUI's, but whatever.

A worthwhile gallery of geeky rings, including a vacuum tube one, after the jump.

Mar 10 2008 Geek Bling: Periodic Rings Are Elemental

These Periodic Rings from ITSNONAME (wtf?) are available in silver, gold, and platinum. Each features the corresponding metal's atomic number and weight and come in sizes 7, 8 and 9. Silver will set you back a paltry $205, gold (14K yellow) a staggering $2,200, and the platinum a holy shitting $6,500. Now I can think of a lot better ways to blow $6,500, and none of them include periodic table themed jewelry. Although one does include a drive across country with a one-legged hooker and a trunk full of drugs. Wait, that was a movie idea. No, no it wasn't. That is how I'd spend $6,500.

Two more pictures after the jump, including one of what it'd look like to get punched.
