It looks like Weezer is more than happy to be a part of iPhone app history; not only did they come out with a Christmas version of Tap Tap Revenge, the band plays the game, too!
This photo was snapped of the guys taking a break from playing in a Los Angeles studio last Friday. I've loved the band a long time (the original arbiters of geek chic, you know), and now that I see that they practice what they preach, I have re-fallen for them.
I don't know what it is guys, seeing LOLs made into objects is hilarious to me. I loved it in necklace form, and now I can't help but — LOL — at this LOL Wooden Sign ($8).
Wouldn't it be cute in a kid's room (who are so into LOLing)? Of course, if you don't have a kid's room to put this into, you might not think it's as ROTFL-worthy as I do.
You know your expensive camera needs to be kept safe, but besides the obvious commonsense of wearing your camera strap around your neck, there are other precautions you can take to prevent damage to your snapper.
Wrap it: Holding the camera body in one hand, put your other hand through the strap, then twist that hand around the strap about four times. Grab the other side of the camera body with that wrapped hand. This makes it so that if someone bumps into you or you trip, your falling camera will just slowly unravel, giving you a chance to grab it. Whereas if you just had your hand through the strap, it would slip off your hand and hit the ground before you had a chance to do anything about it.
Chanteuse Amanda Palmer, formerly of the Dresden Dolls, is a girl after my own heart. At a recent performance, she busted out with a sultry tune about modern courtship — "I Google You."
Amazing how seductive geeky can be, eh? I've been saying it for years, but it turns out I should have been using Palmer's voice to do so.
So you're visiting a new city and you want to check out the sights. The only problem is you have limited time and don't want to spend hours browsing through city guides. But you do know how you are feeling — whether it's romantic, energetic, hungover, broke, or naughty — which is all you need for this helpful website to work its magic. I Feel NYC is a new mood-based navigation site (also available for London and Toronto), that allows you to share various things that you like to do in that particular city when you are feeling a certain way. You can also can check out other people's mood-inspired city suggestions. It's currently in beta, but stay tuned for more cities to be added.

Earlier this year, Northwest Airlines announced that they would be offering E-Boarding passes to select cities offering nonstop flights.
Wondering how it works? When you check in to your flight on nwa.com, just select the E-Boarding Pass option from the drop down on the "Completing Your Check-In" page. From this page, you will be prompted to enter your cell phone information, and your E-Boarding Pass will then be sent to your phone. Once you get to the gate, you will have to show your screen with the 2D barcode and scan it right there.
So far, people have reported that it works great — minus the TSA part since they usually check your paper boarding pass with your ID as you walk through the security X-Ray Machine — something they'll have to work on improving.
