Don't Blog Me Poster: Love It or Leave It?
These days, I'm not so worried about people gossiping about me to their friends, but more like the entire world on their blog. Not that I ever do anything worth blogging about of course, but still, the threat of being called out online is bigger and scarier than anything the town gossip can say to their friends on the bus ride home. Especially in the world of dating, being a subject for your dates' followers may just make a girl not want to go out at all.
Website of the Day: Kanye This
OK, so I can't say that today's site is good for anything more than a bit of fun during your dull day, but it made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Kanye This takes Mr. West's now famous MTV interruption and makes it available for you to use on websites.
Just enter in the site you want to interrupt in one field, list your favorite site in another, and voila!
Ask a Geek Girl: Dealing With Annoying FB Status Updates
We probably all have one or two in our update feed: a friend whose Facebook status updates — for any reason — drive you nuts. Maybe they update too frequently, are serious oversharers, or post updates about things you just don't find interesting. Reader DefyAllLogic posted this etiquette question in our Ask a Geek Girl group:
"I've already created lists of 'friends' and 'not really friends' and have my homepage set to only show the 'friends' updates.
Cool Capture: A Black and White Long Exposure Experiment
There are so many awesome photos to choose from in our Cool Capture group, that it's getting hard to decide which one to feature here! If you're anything like me (and I have a feeling you are), then you always have a camera handy just in case an opportune moment arises to capture something beautiful, just like GeekSugar community member icecreamsprinkle who shot this image. I adore light trails, and sometimes it's experimentation that gets you the best results.
Ask a Geek Girl: What Does In-and-Out Holster Mean on My BB?
Dear GeekSugar,
I just got a new BlackBerry and was very excited to select my new ringtone and SMS notification sounds. When I am in my profiles, there's an option for setting for In Holster and Out of Holster, but I don't know what that means. Please help!
Gorillapod Mobile Turns Your Cell Into a Steady Cam
I've already told you the amazing benefits to owning a Gorillapod — the tripod that attaches to most anything with its bendable, flexible legs and small to large sizes for your point-and-shoot or SLRs — and now the Gorillapod Mobile turns your mobile device into a take-anywhere-shoot-anywhere camera.
You could say I'm turning into an iPhone paparazzi with how many photos I've taken with the on-board camera, so toting this tiny and portable tripod would make including myself into the snapshot even easier. Just like the original Gorillapod, the legs can contort around almost any object, turning a mundane stop sign into the ultimate steady hand for your pics.

Top 6 Tech Moments From the Melrose Place Premiere
The series premiere of Melrose Place delivered an abounding dose of drama and some flashy tech toys and references. I was thrilled to see the show upgrade from the giant car phones of the original series (naturally — it's been a while), and make some legitimately geeky references. Could this be the new trendy tech show of the season?
Telephone Card Holder: Love It or Leave It?
Maybe all your corded phones are gone, but the telephone motif itself is hot (seriously, I was just saying this!).
Even this Telephone Memo Holder ($12), which doesn't do anything gadgety — it's just a wooden memo holder — is totally cute.
But what would you use it for now?
Robin Williams Loves Playing Online Video Games
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, Robin Williams seemed to talk tech more than anything else.

Find out what kind of games he's addicted to below!
