Vintage Geek: Bill Cosby's Texas Instruments Ad
It's back to school time, which always gets me thinking about school supplies, school clothes and of course, my good old TI83. Switched put together a list of the Best-Ever Celebrity Gadget Ads last week that served as a great follow up to our look at the Top 10 Celebrity Gadget Endorsements of current day and included a fantastic retro geek Texas Instruments commercial.
The ad, which was made in 1981, features Bill Cosby talking about a price drop for the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A computer — or as he puts it in the ad, "the one with all the memory and tons of software."

When 15-year-old Kristin Helms committed suicide in 2006, she blamed Kiley Bowers, the 27-year-old man who traveled across state lines to meet her. Her parents blame MySpace — in fact, they're suing the Internet site for their role in the tragedy.

Maker Faire Report - Robots, Crafts And Geeks Galore!
This weekend thousands of geeks crowded into the San Mateo fairgrounds for Maker Faire, a celebration of crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself projects put on by Craft and Make Magazines. For those of you who have never attended the event it's a mixture of the world's largest science fair, a craft festival with a mini dose of Renaissance Faire (seriously, there were people jousting and dressed up in corsets, though I am still not 100 percent sure why). I will be sharing stories about some of my favorite geeks in attendance all week, but here is a little teaser of some of the most exciting exhibits at the event.
