Geekart: Data Center Cabling
Royal Pingdom highlights a few user submitted photos of data center cabling. With this fine organizational skill in contrast to one of their older posts, I couldn’t agree more that this has been elevated to a true geek artform. Check out the rest of the images on the original post.

GeekArt: Pacman Ghost Ikea Hack
I spent pretty much all weekend in the Ikea here in Philly, down on Columbus, picking up new furniture for my new pad. Thanks for helping me move in Tim.
Pixel Party, an Etsy crafter who makes some wonderful hand-made video game themed art, produced the ultimate in Ikea Hacks. He made these out of an [...]
Philadelphia in Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed. Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. Ever. Intriguing story, fantastic graphics, and excellent, excellent game play, it really is a must have for any 360 owner. Sure, I’ll admit, the ending leaves you with the same feeling Halo II’s ending did, that being the desire to murder someone, but the [...]

I like the idea, considering the profile of the new anorexic slim laptop Apple just added to their lineup, this could make for a quirky pairing.

While doing my usual blog search, I came across Web Urbanist’s awesome post about Philly’s City Hall.
At 548 feet high, the Philadelphia City Hall was the tallest skyscraper in the world when it was constructed and today it still holds the title of tallest load-bearing structure on the planet. The building took 30 years and [...]
Bioshock Movie: Won’t Show at Ritz
Rumors are circulating about a Bioshock movie adaptation. We’re excited, even though we’ll have to trek all the way up to The Bridge to see the thing when it comes out, cause Lord knows this won’t show at The Ritz in Old City.
It’s a shame that movies based on video games always get such a [...]
