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 [...]

Why I love the iPad
Well Mondays are usually dedicated to my iPhone App of the Week articles but I had to share the good news. I finally bought an iPad! It’s funny, I had been waiting years for the iPad to be released, I knew it would be the perfect device for me as soon as I started using my iPhone. Then, after waiting for what seemed like eons, Steve Jobs finally gave us a look at the invention [...]

Piece of Fabulous Friday-HydraDuo Water Bottle
Well summer has officially started, the weather is getting warmer, clothing is becoming more scant and, at least here in California, water bottles are in everyone’s hands. As the weather warms up, I find myself carrying more water bottles with me. I, like most, only drink filtered or bottled water however I know how horrible plastic bottles are for the environment. Therefore, I find myself bringing reusable (usually Nalgene) bottles with me where ever I go. Problem [...]

What’s so cool about iPhone 4?
As an Apple fangirl I feel obligated (not that it’s a chore in any sense of the word) to express my opinion on the new iPhone. Ahem, I LOVE IT. I have to admit, when the world was first introduced to the phone via Jason Chen of Gizmodo, my reaction to the aesthetics of the device was, in a word, disappointed. I’m a big fan of smooth lines and curved edges the metal casing around the [...]

"Initial" Post
This is the Geekulous “initial” post, I use quotes because I haven’t posted in almost a year. Be it the warm summer weather, the completion of my Masters or just plain boredom. I’m again reviving Geekulous. Blogging has always had a special place in my heart however it seems like every time I try to breath new life into a blog I get side tracked by the rest of life. Last year when I launched [...]
