Grab the Knife and Get Carving, Geek Style
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Do you need to geek up your Halloween festivities? Why not look to the most classic of all Halloween traditions…the pumpkin! This ungodly looking creature is actually a replica of “The Predator” carved onto the face of a pumpkin. Created by Villafane Studios, it is a true pumpkin masterpiece, […]
Geek Book You Should’t Miss: Anathem
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Far be it for me to suggest anyone read anything offline, but if one were were to do so, I would definitely have to suggest Neal Stephenson’s newest creation: Anathem. Just from the title it sounds imposing. In a way it is, because it’s a tome of 900-plus pages. […]
Geek Profile: Felicia Day
by Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] As far as sexy geek girls go, Felicia Day was recently catapulted into Goddess status. This is largely due to the fact that not only is she an actress who has taken on roles that appeal to the crowd (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), but she’s […]
Split Reasons: The Ultimate Shop for Geek Gear
I’m sure everybody here knows about ThinkGeek, right? They’ve been around forever, and I don’t know many self-respecting geeks who haven’t lusted after one of their products at one time or another.

By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Where Anchorman left off, Goodnight Burbank picks right back up and keeps rolling. In the show, a bunch of ornery, crazy, and sometimes lovable news anchors try to keep it all together while just barely reporting the news. Goodnight Burbank‘s quirky style and entertaining banter has built it into […]
Paris Hilton reading a book: Could she be a geek?
It’s not just ANY book—check this out: First, there was that amazing video on Funny or Die, and now… this? Yes, in this picture, Paris is reading Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the book used for centuries by generals and businessmen to overcome seemingly unsurpassable obstacles and dominate their enemies. Deep down inside, could Paris […]
Meet “Anton,” the Robotic Tongue
Just when you thought you’d seen it all, British scientists have come up with “Anton,” the animatronic tongue. This squirming creation was designed to help better understand how the human tongue works and thus improve speech recognition software. See for yourself: I feel it’s necessary to quote the following line from New Scientist Magazine: “The […]
The Sound of Jelly Wobbling is Recorded for the First Time
And as you would expect, it’s suitably filthy. Courtesy of New Scientist. I guess finding the cure for cancer was taking too long.
