Google+ Invites
What better way to revive Geekulous than with a review of a shiny new social networking site? Ok, after lots of cyber stalking and obsessive email checking and page refreshing I’m finally a member of Google+. I’m ready to pay forward all the generosity complete strangers bestowed on me. I’m giving out invitations, all I ask is that you follow me on Twitter (@geekfab). Let me know in the comments once you’ve finished that. [...]
iPad App of the Week – Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock
This week’s featured app is brought to you by the developers at LightPillar. The Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock is by and large the best alarm clock app out there for both the iPhone and the iPad. Recently I did some redecorating in my room, which allowed me to clear my laptop off of my nightstand. With all that empty space I figured it would be the perfect spot for my shiny new iPad which wasn’t getting [...]

This week has been one dedicated to revamping the user interface of some of the most popular and prominent websites around.

iPhone App of the Week – Bargain Bin
I know it’s been a few weeks since the iPhone App of the Week and I apologize but I think I have one that might make up for it. I love getting new apps and figuring out how I can incorporate them into my busy everyday life. With iPhone and iPod Touch users downloading an average of 10 applications per month and the App Store reaching 1 billion downloads within less than a year of it’s opening [...]

How to Use Feedly to Stay on Top of All Your RSS Feeds
Google Reader is one of the most popular online feed aggregators out there, and with so many people using it I just had to check it out. I’ve had feeds in Google Reader but never really checked them. I mainly stayed up to date on all of my feeds through my startpage – NetVibes. Eventually NetVibes became a little mundane and Google Reader was no better. I, like so many others, am not a big fan of perusing text [...]

How to make a website with little to no HTML or CSS knowledge – aka Geekulous Origins
I thought this post would be fitting for the unveiling of Geekulous. Over the past year, Gadget Girl Review has started and stopped, I would add a few posts here and there and then would stop for a few months, then start up again and then stop. This time I’m 3 months and 19 posts in (longer than I’ve ever been) and I’m not about to stop now. Since the Gadget Girl Review has a [...]

Apple Tablet Rumor Round-Up
It was a busy day for Apple fans today. As I mentioned in a previous post the Apple rumor mill has been running overtime with all of the Tablet talk lately. Over the past two days we’ve seen the rumor mill go into high gear with Apple shooting a mysterious ad in Truckee, CA (near my hometown I might add) and, our friends from Gizmodo releasing an article chronicling the conversation they had with what seems to be [...]

The Difference Between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0
I was recently asked about the difference between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0. Simple question, I thought. But when I sat down to write this I realized the explanation isn’t as straight forward as I had originally thought. So read as I try to explain the differences between Web 2.0 and 1.0. Web 2.0 refers to how we are using the internet today. There is no one definition of Web 2.0 (some believe it is [...]
