MadTV Does It Again With The iRack
If you just so happened to miss this nutso skit from MadTV, here's your chance to see Steve Jobs at it again. Steve proceeds to go through all of his products including the iPod, iPhone etc, and then he starts talking about the latest i gear including the i Picture Frame, iLamp, iMicrowave and the iVacuum cleaner. He then reveals the much anticipated new product - "ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the iRack."
Steve Jobs Goes Psycho With The iPhone
I know there are a ton of iPhone videos out there, but this has got to be at the top of my list. Kudos to the team at MAD tv for creating such a hilarious parody of the huge Macworld announcement. I'm sure the reaction of audience members at the conference was quite similar to this "You have to stop Steve Jobs, it is too much now!"

Mad Men and Its Glam Vintage Geek Dream
Tonight, AMC's retro drama Mad Men returns, which also means the return of the most gorgeous retro tech in TV. You know how I'd wire the show's leading man, Don Draper, but the best place to see the vintage pieces are on the show itself, so before you watch this evening, check out some of my favorite gadgets from the first two seasons.

Vintage Geek Explosion: Mad Men
You wouldn't think that geeksugar would have much to say about AMC's runaway hit Mad Men, set in the early 1960s — but you'd be totally, utterly wrong.
The retro-era show is actually rife with geekery — vintage geekery that is. Not only is it a rare look into how the times were for health, the sexes, minorities, and business, we also get to see the infiltration of technology into the home and the workplace.
How I'd Wire Betty Draper
It's not easy being Betty Draper. The trendy housewife and former model from AMC's Mad Men has to keep up appearances, keep up with three children, and keep her often chaotic emotional life on track. She certainly deserves a few push presents after delivering her new baby and putting up with Don's adulterous antics.
Retro Goes iPhone: Mad Men Gets an iPhone App
Set to return for its third season this month, excitement for Mad Men is heating up.
Luckily, there's lots of geekiness involved — I told you how I'd wire Don Draper, and AMC first made a Mad Men avatar generator perfect for your Twitter and Facebook profile photos, and now they've added a free iPhone app so you can keep up on the latest news from the set of the 1960s drama.
There's behind the scenes video, blog updates, and sneak peeks from Mad Men and a few other AMC shows too, should you tire of the fabulously retro program (not that that's likely to happen).
How I'd Wire Don Draper
I've showed you how I'd wire Bruno and Weeds' Nancy Botwin, but now I'm going to take it back old school — real old school — and hook you up with my tech picks for Mad Men's dashing yet complicated hero, Don Draper. All my picks are vintage, true to the era and the character's vibe — 1960's ad man sophistication.

The Beast Revealed: Mad Men's Copy Machine
I've already quizzed you on the geeky first season of the amazing show Mad Men, and one of the questions was regarding one of my favorite early quotes by Don Draper about how he had no "magical machine that could make copies."
But, lo and behold, at the beginning of the second season, his foreshadowing scoff becomes a reality, and the office of Sterling Cooper gets a copy machine. Watch the flabbergasted expressions of the ladies of the office in response to the behemoth marvel of technology!
Mad Men Season One Tech Quiz
I've already brought up the vintage geek explosion of AMC's Mad Men; now I want to see how much of the geekery you remember from season one. Wonderful and old-fashioned, the characters of Mad Men are just beginning a love affair with gadgets that has given way to today's obsession. See how well you do on the tech quiz for the first season!
Afro Samurai Review: A Beautiful (Semi) Disaster
Disaster may be a little too harsh of a word to describe Afro Samurai, but on the flip side, calling it beautiful may not give this game the credit that's due. The first thing you're going to notice while playing Afro Samurai is the insane art design, and the kick-ass music (which is notably scored by Rza from Wu Tang Clan and Howard Drossin) that periodically had me stopping play just to listen to the beats.
Afro Samurai is based on a Japanese manga series and subsequent anime mini series that has run here in the US on Spike TV.
