It's not every day I come across something that is no-strings-attached free! And the best part is that this freebie will actually teach you something — tech related! If you want to brush up on your digital photography skills, Hewlett Packard is offering free HP online classes on a variety of topics such as basic tips about digital cameras to online photo editing.
One class that would probably be quite helpful for a lot of geeks is the Adobe Photoshop for photographers class. In this class you will learn how to make enhancements and corrections to pics as well as experiment with some special effects.
Enrollment for this class starts June 4 and runs until July 31. There will be two lessons each week and the class will end August 8.
Since New Zealand is living in the future (19 hours ahead of San Francisco), a lucky guy by the name of Jonny Gladwell has already picked up an iPhone 3G, ahead of anyone else on this entire planet. — Gizmodo

There used to be a time when all your gadgets and electronics were patently ugly. Having a computer meant embracing beige, and integrating electronics into your decor meant finding armoires that were big enough to hide a huge and ugly TV or stereo system.
Thankfully, we now live in a time where design in tech means more than rectangular shapes and where to put the on button — aesthetics of the gadget is a big consideration. You can pick a white TV to go with your decor, rather than disrupt it, or mount a flat screen TV and wow your guests.
Abbey Nova, featured on Design Sponge for her gorgeous home interior, has benefited from this. Not only has she chosen a pretty red laptop case, but on her desk, it functions as an accent, the same way her vintage telephone and bulletin board photos do.

Last week I was spending some time with my friend and her baby and went crazy with "capturing the moment" — it was photos and videos galore! After uploading all my cutesy wootsey images, I couldn't help but wonder what options there are for parents who want to create an online space dedicated to their bundle of joy, but yet don't want their kids faces plastered all over sites like Flickr or YouTube.
And with that I bring you TotSpot, a secure and safe user-friendly site that allows parents to create a private page about their kids. With this page you can post videos, photos, and journal entries to share "privately" with family and friends. How great is that?!

Money Tip: Budget For Road Trips With This Website Filling up the tank for my Fourth of July excursion cost $67 for one trip to the pump. It stings in that paper cut sort of way (it's just as painful every time!) but knowing what to expect before you embark on that Summer road trip will allow you to better budget your cash.
When I hear Salvatore Ferragamo, I generally think "shoes I can't afford," not "geeky ties," but it seems that the renowned Italian design house is now in the business of making my boyfriend happy with this legit tie.
Run-of-the-mill from afar, but when you look close, the subversion begins! Tiny CDs and headphones are printed on fine blue silk.
Keeping your man true to his geeky roots in a cubicle will run you quite a bit though ($160), and you may have to stick with one of these geeky work staples! What do you think?
