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 [...]

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 [...]

Last year when I launched [...]

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 [...]

I <3 Pete Cashmore
I recently reinstalled TweetDeck on my desktop and realized in order to get the most out of the program I really needed to be following more than just the 7 or so people I was already following. So off I went to search for the top Twitter accounts to subscribe to. One such account that was on almost all of the lists I perused wasMashable. Great, I thought, another techie website that I can get updates [...]

DiggNation Girl
I spent most of today putting my office together and setting up my new studio for my YouTube videos but as always, I needed something on the TV in the background to listen to while I was working. What better time to catch up on the 9 episodes of Diggnation I have missed over the past few months. For those of you who don’t know, Diggnation is a weekly podcast hosted by Alex Albrecht and [...]
