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 [...]

Share your iPhone App Collection using AppsFire
I am on a constant quest to find the next best iPhone app. Whenever I see someone with an iPhone in their hands I’m always curious to know what apps they are using. Just like we share what music we’re listening to (via Facebook, Pandora or Last.fm), we should also be able to share what apps we are using. Wouldn’t it be nice to view other people’s combinations of apps to help create your own [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Apple Tablet? Finally?
Well I was going to post part II of my Google Voice review but the buzz around Apple’s possible new device is too loud to ignore (not that I was trying to). For years now the rumor of Apple creating a tablet has been floating around. Some believed it didn’t nor wouldn’t ever exist, others thought that every time Steve Jobs made an announcement that was going to be “the one”. Well it seems the time [...]

iPhone App of the Week – Meetways
I am a frequent user of Craigslist and one of the problems I run into when using Craigslist is finding a safe middle location for myself and the interested customer to meet. Enter Meetways, a service which allows you to enter two addresses and receive a list of meeting points in the middle of those two addresses. For example, say I was located in the Northwest area of town and my customer was in the Southeast area, [...]
