Is Flight of the Conchords Coming to Rock Band?
Last Sunday during the Primetime Emmy Awards, red carpet host Chris Harrison jokingly asked Flight of the Conchords duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement if they had any plans for a Flight of the Conchords debut on Rock Band.
A serious-sounding Bret leaned forward into the microphone and said, "We have three songs on the next Rock Band." A lot of people think he's joking, but I detected a note of seriousness.
Celebs Get Creative With Spore
I am not the only one stoked about the upcoming release of Spore! Geeky celebs are getting in on the action and creating their creatures, too. With the Sporelebrity challenge, you can vote for your favorite creation brought to you by some pretty hard-hitting stars like Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, and the funny dudes from Flight of the Conchords, just to name a few.
Vintage Camera Phone Puts FOTC Phone Into Perspective
I have been semi-obsessed with oversized, clunky and illogical camera phones ever since I saw the "Mugged" episode of Flight of the Conchords where Jemaine's handmade camera phone (it's literally a camera and phone taped together) gets taken by a street thug. This Canon camera phone is even more fantastic because it combines a spectacular camera with a rotary phone base. Cause everyone needs a rotary phone that can capture images within cord distance, right?
The Rad Flight of The Conchords Mouse Pad
Granted Bret and Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords may not be early adopters to the latest gadgets, but they aren't totally clueless when it comes to tech — they've at least proven that they know difference between a DVD and a VHS! Flight of the Conchords always cracks me up, so when I saw this $10 Flight of the Conchords: Eco-Friendly Mouse Pad on Hippy Shopper, I had to convince myself that my desk accessories need a little makeover. Besides, looking at two adorably goofy guys all day isn't that difficult either.
"25 Years And It's Already Obsolete."
As low-tech as the boys of Flight of the Conchords are, they're a geek entertainment staple. Don't get me wrong, it's not a show devoid of tech references, it's just that they're not exactly discussing 3G and Ubuntu here. Nope, my favorite New Zealanders may not be Apple devotees or own a flat screen, but at least Bret and Jemaine know the difference between DVD and VHS.

HBO Releases Its Content For the Internet
The New York Times reports that HBO is joining the ranks of networks who have made their content available online — and for free! If only this had happened at the height of my Sex and the City obsession!
But take a deep breath, Flight of the Conchords lovers — here come the list of drawbacks: First, it's only free if you're already an HBO subscriber, it's only available for Windows PCs, and the content cannot be transferred to portable devices, so no taking your shows with you on your iPod.
Geek Roundup: Your Favorite Fictional Geeks
Last week I asked you to share your favorite fictional geeks after I admitted my love for hobbits and the boys from HBO's Flight of The Conchords. Most of you ended up leaving your answers in the comments section of that story, revealing your love for Seth Cohen on "The OC," Bill from "Freaks and Geeks" (such a good choice daizyk70!) and of course, Hiro from "Heroes."
As for those of you who bookmarked your choices, the range is pretty exciting and hilarious.
