OK seriously, when I saw the picture of Molly Sims' blinged out Nintendo DS the other day, I noticed the gadget second. The first thing I noticed was the totally gooftroop face she was making while playing her game. My second favorite weird face is Ms. Hayden Panettiere's here.
But I'm not passing judgment — I do it too! Whether I'm scrunching up my nose, closing one eye, or have my mouth wide open, I'm never not making a stupid face while I'm gaming. It's kind of like how John Mayer makes those weird "O" faces when he plays the guitar.
I'm pretty sure a scientist will come forward with studies in the near future proving that yes, making a stupid face does increase your video game prowess.
So, I know I am not alone — do you make a goofy face when you play video games?
Madonna's 50! 50 years old! In celebration of her 50th birthday, I'm celebrating her on geeksugar not just for the music or her evolution, but for her techiness. She may not be the first person that comes to mind when you think of celebrity geeks, but I'm here to prove you wrong! Check out my slideshow for her geekiest moments!
Another week, another spate of geek news and happenings! If you were busy this week, then don't despair — I've put together a slideshow of this week's greatest hits!
I might just buy a fancy bag and slap a solar panel on it for that price. I mean, I want to be able to charge my gadgets inside my bag and save the environment while doing it, but I just can't shell out almost two grand for a solar bag. And though I'm not sure I hate how it looks, I am definitely not sure that I like how it looks either.
Because I'm on a Freaks and Geeks viewing kick, I dug these up for the loyal fans — and if you know F&G, you're a diehard — who are more geeky than freaky. There's 30 fabulous free Freaks and Geeks desktop wallpapers to choose from; I plan on rotating them according to my moods, like say, when I get picked last for dodgeball.
Oh, seeing their shiny faces makes me feel like they never went off the air and are instead living some awesome fictional life, where Lindsay Weir went with her math instincts and represented with an adult-geek-girl job, and Bill Haverchuck became my BFF.
Very clever, Bore Me; your name implies that my visit will be a snore, but it is, in fact, rife with fantastic time wasters and glorious distractions!
Your reverse psychology astounds me. I would go on about it, but I have already begun watching a hilarious viral video, a new movie trailer, and playing a game of Tetris, all from your site. Well played, Bore Me. Well played.

I went into Crate and Barrel the other day to find a tea pot, but to my surprise I found . . . laptop bags?
I usually associate C&B with cozy home stuff, kitchen things, but nothing for my geeky side. The techiest thing I'd seen there till now was a laptop rest (which I repurposed for my sewing machine). These are actual Crate and Barrel laptop bags, too, not just them carrying the LeSportsac brand or anything.
In any case, the soft nylon bags were $20 and pretty cute, if you're thinking about stopping in for a citrus reamer and a new laptop tote!
