Jul 15 2009 Geekologie: 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.

Jun 22 2009 Today's Woot Shirt: How Bacon Bits Are Made
This Bacon Bits t-shirt combines aspects of both Space Invaders and delicious pig particulate. I want to eat it.
Once in a while, in a great while, a shirt comes along that is so good, it leaves us totally speechless. There's no reason for us to even pretend otherwise today. And we won't.
They're $10 shipped over at shirt.woot.com (today only). So go get one now and show your appreciation for everyone's favorite sundae topping.
Shirt Woot (if you click this after today, 6.22.09, it will be a different shirt)
Thanks to Matty, Julian, Etienne, Jenny and Melissa, who once spilled a jar bacon bits and ate the floor.
Jun 5 2009 NEW MONKEY ISLAND GAME COMING OUT
Let's kick this Friday off right, huh? THERE IS A NEW GAME IN THE MONKEY ISLAND SERIES COMING JULY 7th! Not only that, Lucasarts is releasing a remake of the original Secrets of Monkey Island, also set to drop this summer (for XBox Arcade, PC and Mac). Quick, grog me so we can cheers!
Tales of Monkey Island (PC and WiiWare) will be released in five monthly serials by Telltale Games beginning July 7th in the same fashion as the recenter Sam & Max and Strongbad games. You can preorder now for $35. I just preordered with two different credit cards in case I screwed something up the first time. And I may do it a third just to be safe. Now, granted the style of graphics really isn't my favorite, but that's okay. MONKEY ISLAND, YO! One of the Jonas Brothers could play Guybrush and I'd still buy it. Kidding, I'd cannonball myself in the face.
Hit the jump for two VIDEOS, one about each of the games coming out.
Mar 26 2009 UPDATE: You Will Like Today's Woot! Shirt
UPDATE: BACK IN STOCK FOR A LIMITED TIME, GO HERE TO GET ONE.
Unfortunately they sold all 3,000 of them between midnight and 6:47 AM this morning. But don't worry, I'm sure a design this popular will be available for regular sale soon. So somebody feel free to drop that link in the comments when it becomes available. Or hell, maybe I'll actually keep up with it and post it here myself as an update. After all, I am turning over a new leaf. And also, this dead squirrel I found in the road. ZOMG, ZOMG, its guts are hanging out!!
Mar 17 2009 One Day Only: Star Wars Bobble Heads
Woot.com's sale today is six random Star Wars bobble heads for $30 + $5 shipping. At first I thought it sounded like a ripoff because they look tiny, but each figure actually stands over 7" tall, so it's still a ripoff. Haha -- you still bought them didn't you? I call the Jawa if you get one!
Thanks to Mariah, who doesn't deal with bobble heads because she needs a real man.
