Hot Robot Love (SFW)

GeekSugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:30:47 PDT

Uh, I know I said I "loved" robots, but I meant that in a totally platonic way. I swear I don't want to marry, move in with, or make out with robots!

The models in Marie Claire Italia, on the other hand, are feeling pretty amorous toward the cold little guys, as evidenced by the geek-sexy photo shoot spotted, thankfully, by Boing Boing. I may not go for a robot boyfriend, but slick hair and sexy silver jumpsuits? New geeksugar uniform.

Check out my slideshow for robot sexy time and as a bonus, my tips for loving your own robot.

Except maybe Jude Law in AI. That's totally OK.

Do You View "Not Safe For Work" Content at the Office?

GeekSugar — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:00:30 PDT

Earlier this week USA Today featured an article about how "Technology makes porn easier to access at work" and while that seems like a no-brainer, I was struck by how many companies have gone so far as to install devices to block porn and risqué websites on their office supplied computers and portable devices. According to the article, 65 percent of US companies used software to block workers' access to inappropriate websites in 2005. Why have companies set it up? According to USA Today:

About 16% of men who have access to the Internet at work acknowledged having seen porn while on the job, according to a survey for Websense by Harris Interactive in 2006. Eight percent of women said they had. But of those who acknowledged viewing porn sites at work, only 6% of men and 5% of women acknowledged that they had done so intentionally.

The issue of blocking access is especially relevant when it comes to portable wireless devices like laptops and smartphones like the iPhone, which offer easy and seemingly private web access. While I fully understand many of the sites people cruise during the workday could fall into the "Not Safe For Work" (or NSFW) category, I can't imagine accessing porn on my work computer. Am I alone here? Do you intentionally view content you know is NSFW in the office?

Call Me Panties: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 07:00:45 PDT

We've seen our fair share of geeky underwear, but the Call Me Panty seems to be aimed at the woman that already has the OhMiBod and a collection of other "sexy geek" items. I have to agree with Techie Diva and say it's hard not to sound a little appalled when talking about it. The panties ship in a heart shaped box with a mock cellphone in the pocket and tiny gift bow. The idea is you can put your phone in the panties front pocket and turn the ringer off. If you catch my drift. Is this geeky, geek chic or just a poor attempt at sexy?

Who Is The Hottest Nerdy/Geek Girl?

GeekSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 04:02:50 PDT

We've already established that there's a big difference between what constitutes being a Geek vs. Nerd, but Maxim Magazine's latest Hottest Nerd Crushes poll got me thinking: Who are the hottest geeky/nerdy/sci-fi gals out there and why? Rounding out the Maxim top 5 are Lara Croft, Tomb Raider; Grace Park (Lt. Sharon "Athena" Agathon/Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii), Battlestar Galactica; Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity), The Matrix; Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), The X Files and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Star Wars: Episode VI. Who do you think is the hottest of these nerdy geeks and why?

Sexy Gadgets: Oh So Geeky Top 5

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 07:03:26 PST

The gadget world is near infinite. From grandiose media chairs, $150,000 speakers to ankle strap ons - no idea is too bizarre, geeky or cutting edge. But what about all those geeky items with a sexy twist? You may have been worried I was ignoring them, and to be fair I kind of was, but enough of you have asked about all the sexy gadgets and gizmos I've found while searching the internet and I decided it was high time I share the goodies.

I was initiated into the OhMiBod universe at this year's Macworld, when an attendee admitted she was heartbroken they weren't selling it on the exhibit floor. I was shocked, intrigued and mortified all at once. What is the OhMiBod you wonder? It's described as a "new generation of vibrator that combines elegance of design with the excitement of your favorite music." An integrated microchip allows the OhMiBod to vibrate to the beat and rhythm of the music playing on your iPod/MP3 player while you listen and "enjoy." As the girl says in the video it's a must have. ($69)

There are four more sexy items, just

The first thing I did when I came across the iBoxer was instant message the link to a couple of my guy friends. The responses were: "oh, no, that's just an iPod in my boxers," "they don't look big enough" - still not sure about that one - "what are those for working out in your underwear?" and "maybe if they added a toaster, I could make some pop-tarts while listening to my iTunes." It may not be the most practical of the sexy geek items, but I wouldn't mind if my honey turned it into his iPod uniform. ($22)

In my humble opinion, there is nothing more ridiculous than the iAttire iPod Negligee. It's quite simply, a mini lingerie number for your iPod. I can't see a reason why you would need this, but if you love your iPod enough and you really want to dress her up, I guess this is how to do it. ($23.99)

If your relationship is centered around humor (and really, whose isn't?) consider getting her something light and humorous. I know Think Geek's HTTPanties aren't everyone's style, but I would certainly get a great laugh out of them. If you've ever run across a "403 Forbidden" error on a web site, it means you've either stumbled onto the wrong page, or you've been snooping where you shouldn't be...aren't these panties on track? ($7.99)

So the I Heart My Geek shirt is a little more subtle than sexy, but I think it's amazingly cute. What better way to be sexy than to announce to the world that you love your geek and you don't care who knows it? ($17.99)
