There are some games I get excited about, and then there are the games that I cannot live without. Remember how unbearable the lead up was to Super Mario Galaxy was? Yeah, it's like that over the next few months for me. I hope I can make it through! If you're a smart gamer, and you've been saving up for the end of the year game season, good news – I have some pretty sure bets on which ones you should be holding out for!
Check out my upcoming game slideshow, and please try to keep your drooling to a minimum!

Now here's a geek-inspired home accessory that won't make your nongeeky friends call you names like "dork" or "loser" (hmm, maybe you should get new friends). This Math Signs Coaster ($22) set is made of sharply cut felt and depicts the math symbols you first encountered as a baby geek.
Now that you're a grown-up geek, you're entitled to have those same symbols on your coasters, especially when they are as classy as these are. Are you as enamored of these coasters as I am?

King of Green Danny Seo is known for his eco-friendly home décor ideas; he recycles and reuses like you wouldn't believe, with more creativity in his little finger than I have in my whole body, or ever will.
He frequently gets geeky, reusing old media that I would normally give to Goodwill or let sit in the back of my closet until a big purge.
A couple weeks ago, he recycled old CDs into dumbells, and now he gathered another tech relic — cassette tapes — grabbed some other junk, and glued them onto old cans to make robot faces and voila, Mr. Roboto utensil cups.
Sure, they're more than a little bit goofy, but they're also disarmingly cute and a great way to keep the life cycle of a piece of "junk" going!
Finally! So, it looks like HTC's Dream — aka the first cell phone to use Google's awesome-looking Android platform — is going to become a reality: the FCC has approved it!
The promises of Android are tempting enough to make me consider giving up my iPhone (well, add it to my cell phone collection maybe) — the shortlist of features includes WiFi, 3G, and Bluetooth — and check out this walkthrough video for more. Considering it's being made by HTC, whose quickly building its reputation for good-lookin' phones, the pot gets even sweeter.
But what do you think: Is this a phone that will rival your lust for iPhones and BlackBerrys?
If you ever misplace your phone and don't have a friend nearby to give it a ring, a site called Where's My Cell Phone will call your phone so you can actually hear it hiding under that pillow. I guess you could even use it if you lose your phone and don't have a landline to ring your phone, although fingers crossed someone picks it up and answers it! Thankfully a whopping 90 percent of you said that you would return a lost cell phone or camera to its owner, so maybe you wouldn't have to use this handy site after all. Keep in mind, this site won't work its magic if your phone is on silent or vibrate!
