Michael Phelps Swimming Game: Awesome or Lame?
Michael Phelps is everywhere but at the pool these days! Among other many recent endorsements, Olympic phenomenon Michael Phelps will be teaming up with 505 Games to develop a video game based on his swimming career.
The game is still in its development stages so I don't want to be too quick to judge, but if you happen to have played Beijing 2008, then you may recall that the swimming meets were kinda .
Do You Use a Console Camera When You Play Games?
The first time I used a console camera was when my BF brought one home in a Trials of Topoq game bundle, which has you using body movements to direct a ball through a maze. Admittedly, it was the single nerdiest moment in my life, mostly because I'd never used a camera while playing a game before, but more so because the game was totally unlike anything I'd ever seen. Seriously, it's pretty darn nerdy — just check out this review for proof.

Do You Keep Old Profiles Online?

UBoard Desk Shelf: Love It or Leave It?

Emoticon Pillows: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I seem to have a love/hate relationship with emoticons. On one hand, I have a soft spot for geeky emoticon products like this shower curtain and these emoticon magnets. On the other, I frown on the overuse of emoticons, especially when it comes to dating.
Should There Be an Age Minimum For Social Networks?
Social networking sites have long been popular with teens, and now researchers are saying they're becoming increasingly popular with younger kids, too. I don't think anyone's surprised by the findings; though both Facebook and MySpace require users to be at least 13 years old when signing up for accounts.
A researcher quoted in the CNN article says:

Twitter Lists: Love It or Leave It?
After a long wait, Twitter has rolled out its Lists feature to all users.
The new feature allows you to group the people you follow into categories, which means less clutter on the homepage. Plus, you can view or subscribe to other users' lists.
Check Your Head Pillow Cases: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Hooray for more retro-themed goodies! I'm digging the Check Your Head Pillow Cases ($25), featuring a cute screen print of a vintage turntable on one side and a set of headphones on the other.
