Disney Debuts Computer-Based DIY Thrill Ride
The joy of playing roller coaster Tycoon on the PC is that you get to create the roller coaster of your dreams. You know, the kind you were always too short to ride as a kid? But at Walt Disney World in Florida, Mickey is taking things one step further and letting you design your own actual roller coaster, and then setting you off in a virtual world to enjoy it.
Etsy Find: Cool Vinyl Laptop Decals
If the Twilight laptop skin isn't your thing, then maybe this selection of cool and geeky ones will be. I first found this awesome Snow White laptop decal (which reminded me of yet another Twilight-themed decal), which incorporates your Apple logo into the piece. But then I kept browsing the shop and got hooked on all of the totally geeky decals, which can be used on your laptop, your Kindle, your walls, or wherever you want to stick 'em.
Disney to Launch Its Own YouTube Channels
I don't care how old I get, I'm never going to truly outgrow Disney and the movies that shaped my childhood.
And it looks like it's trying to catch up with me in one of my favorite mediums: Disney is going to launch its own YouTube channels!
The Disney channels will host short-form programs, but no word yet on what age group they'll target.
The Mickey MP3 Player Finally Comes Stateside
I can't believe it was sooo long ago (like last year long ago) that the Mickey Mouse MP3 Player surfaced and that we've had to wait this long for it to finally come to the US. Before you think I'm crazy for saying something from Disney is geek chic, hear me out. This $70 player is super tiny, comes in four stylin' colors, and can hold up to one 1GB of music.
Disney's Website Takes the Cheese
Just when you thought YouTube was the end all and be all. Ever since Disney re-vamped its website, the site has been getting 25 million unique users a month, 100 million videos shown a week and 1 billion pages served every thirty days. Just in case you're not a computer geek, that's a LOT of traffic.

Sandra Bullock's Cell Phone in The Proposal
This past weekend I happened to catch The Proposal on the big screen, and as captivated as I was by the hilarious plot line, I couldn't help but take notice at Sandra Bullock's character — Margaret Tate's — cell phone obsession. A big executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Margaret convinces her assistant (Andrew, played by Ryan Reynolds) to marry her so she won't get deported back to Canada.
During a trip to Alaska for his grandmother's 90th birthday party, Margaret's white Nokia E71 is stolen by a hawk (I know, sounds far-fetched, but it's such a funny scene), so she has Andrew order her a new phone.
Wondercon 2009: Loter
Although it seemed that the expo hall at this year's Wondercon was a little less robust than years' past, there was plenty of cute to go around among all that geekiness. Take Loter for example. Makers of tees, toys, cards, and prints, their booth caught my eye from across the room with its retro vibe.
