Matty Salin’s Bacon Alarm Clock
So I woke up this morning with combination of hysteria and a burning desire for some bacon. I was also a few minutes late despite the 2 alarms on my clock and one on my phone. I found myself browsing through Neatorama again and realized that I desperately needed this product designed by Matty Salin.

Videogame Loot! Straight from Comic-con ‘08
Our friends over at the MTV Multiplayer Blog have been out in San Diego, scouring the show floor of the 2008 Comic-con to find all sorts of sweet new toys, er, miniature statues from all your favorite videogames. In case you weren’t aware, the unfortunately inoperable Lancer (better known as the “chainsaw gun”) from Gears [...]
Star Wars Alpacas: Cute & Intimidating
Here they come.
I’m pretty sure that you could set almost any slow moving creature to the Empire march song, and it would be intimidating. This gives me an idea for my chinchilla.

Batman & Star Wars: Trading Places in the Lego Universe
What happens when two iconic cloaked-in-black characters, Darth Vader and Batman, leave their respective canons and trade places?
This.
Batman looks a little bit happier as a villain in Star Wars than Darth Vader does as a hero in Gotham, wouldn’t you say?

Pimp Your Cubicle: Race Chairs
So you spend most of your time in front of the computer blogging, designing, gaming, etc. It’s OK, we get it. As much as you want to be that guy who spends all of his time in the cockpit of an ultra high-end race car, you just can’t find the time in your schedule. If [...]
Comic Con’s Battlestar Galactica Panel Recap
Unfortunately I sat on the sidelines again this year for San Diego Comic Con. Hopefully when I find the time to attend one, I can grab a press badge and get just a little bit closer to Grace Park. Wait, what am I talking about, this is the LAST SEASON of Battlestar Galactica. Noooo!
Thankfully Misfits [...]
Stained Glass: The Church of the Geek

Check out a full, high resolution image on her Flickr page. [...]
Geekadelphia Interviewed By CBS3: Video & Article
Yesterday, CBS3 reporter (and former Miss Pennsylvania) Nicole Brewer stopped by my apartment to do a quick interview with Tim and I about Geekadelphia. Needless to say, we were pretty excited. She asked us a couple of questions about our site, geek culture, and even took some video of my chinchilla, Mittens. We had [...]
Microsoft Debuts “Summer of Arcade” Lineup
In a surprisingly open announcement regarding the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles over the next month (a subject they often stay mum on), Microsoft released a list of the next five weeks’ marquee titles. Normally, such a story wouldn’t earn our attention, but this list of games is too good not to share with our [...]
Wolverine Preview: Fresh from Comic Con!
I don’t know why productions attempt to keep a tight lid on these things, but the internet has once again proven to be the most reliable place to find leaked video. This time it’s the first official cinematic trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
You can clearly see Deadpool, Gambit, and some badass Sabretooth vs Wolvy [...]
