We are all too familiar with new concepts and ideas when it comes to niche gadgets with focused uses such as cellphones, projectors and remotes.

Imagine a world where everything is alive, moving and interactive, but there is one thing missing… sound. That is exactly the world a hearing impaired person has to face each and every day. Sign language is a great help and is the primary language used. However, it can sometimes be very time consuming and many [...]

Twitter is a great community. I have been very active on the social networking site since December 2008, and I can attest to the power of a tweet. There are so many things shared on Twitter including information, inspiration, testimonials, laughter and even virtual hugs. Another big thing that people share is music. People share [...]

There are many designs that have graced the small flash memories that we carry with us on a daily basis. It’s like we take pride in giving our files a nice, stylish place to stay while we transport them from A to B. Some are radical, while others are plain or exclusive. The original designs [...]

When I was in the U.S., I had the chance to cook breakfast with an electric stove top. You see, what we have at home in the Philippines is the usual gas range with burners. My mom says she prefers it over the electric stove top because it heats up and cooks the food much [...]

FaceBook is so popular that everyone has an account, or if you aren’t on FaceBook yet, I am sure some of your family or friends have probably encouraged you to get an account. I don’t blame them, it is a wonderful site to connect with your friends and family who are living far away from [...]

How far are we able to take steampunk before it gets all weird and on the edge of bizarre? The simple answer to that question seems to be: Never.

Summers are great but they sometimes bring something with them that which we all just hate… that infamous heat that puts us all in a daze and makes us sometimes unable to function properly. First we wish that the heat would come, and then when it does, we complain about it. Isn’t that an irony? [...]

Respect is one of those things that everyone wants, but few people get, especially in social media. On Twitter, it can be overwhelming at times to try and stand out in the crowd of never ending tweets. I opened my Twitter account in March of 2009. I have sent over 35,000 tweets since then, and [...]

Technology really has changed the way we communicate. I remember back when cell phones were so large that you practically needed a suitcase to lug them around.

Nowadays everyone seems to be carrying their laptops with them wherever they go. I remember the days when people waited until they got to their offices or their homes to have access to their computers. I guess with wifi and laptops being more affordable now, everyone can take one along anytime, anywhere. However, the problem [...]

When people decide to create something new and original, whether it be a new invention or just a mod of something already existing, they usually go for something at least moderately understandable. I mean, for example, people may turn a cellphone into something steampunk or maybe even a clock into the ultimate remote control clicker. [...]

In the past, when I’ve written an article like this, I’ve gotten tweets and comments from other girl geeks accusing me of being offensive and way too girly. Well, you know what? Pink is my favorite color and I’m a big time girly-girl geek. If that offends you, I suggest you stop reading this right [...]

There is a chance that this may be the geekiest thing you’ve read all week. The wonderful people at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories created this humongous interactive Game Of Life.

It is always a treat to see people greeting you via your wall on FaceBook or your stream on Twitter.
