Geek is chic.
It may be nearly Fall, but I've been doing a ton of Spring cleaning of my own and recently came across my stash of VHS tapes from high school and college. Funny enough, I haven't had a VCR in years — but two years ago most of you said you still had one. I'm not sure why I'm holding on to the tapes; nostalgia, maybe? I keep telling myself I'll convert them to digital format at some point. Until Read more
VHS tapes may be a thing of the past, but it's the format where you'll find all my favorite movies still tucked away in storage. Flicks like Willow, Legend, and The B.R.A.T. Patrol (who's seen this one!?) helped me get off to a good geeky and sci-fi start. If it weren't for laser disk, DVD, and Blu-Ray technology, I'd probably still have a VCR and keep them close by. Although I can't watch the Read more
When people ask about when my boyfriend and I moved in together, I wax nostalgic on one thing. No, not my independent living or some mushy story about commitment. My VHS tapes. See, as much as I love to adopt new formats and tech, I was holding onto a small collection of VHS tapes, not because I thought the format was still good (please, I frown on people who don't appreciate Blu-ray yet), but Read more
Oh my gosh, I absolutely love Says-It! When I first came across this rad site, I had no idea that you could choose from a variety of objects, signs, seals and badges to create hilarious graphics for! Says-It is just as addictive as MagMyPic because the options are endless with what you can design. Here I selected a lovely VHS tape to have some fun with and there's even an old school cassette tape Read more
I bet your grandma hasn't had you over for a crochet-making session where she uses tape from old VHS tapes?! Now if she has, that's pretty rad, and I guess you can pretty much crochet any material that can be woven into a crocheted masterpiece, right?! As you can probably guess, this bag made entirely from recycled plastics has left me dumbfounded. In order to make this handmade bag, Etsy seller Read more
Do You Still Watch Movies on VHS? No way. It's all DVD for me. Sometimes, but I'm starting to upgrade. I don't buy them, but I still record stuff using the VCR. Yes. It may be old-fashioned, but I like my tapes. Read more
Ryan Gosling was on the LA set of his new movie, Gangster Squad, looking handsome in a red shirt, vest, and hat. He laughed with a friend near his trailer before reporting to work in front of the cameras. The project, which sees Ryan team up again with Emma Stone, is the latest for the busy actor. He recently wrapped Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines around Albany, NY, with rumored Read more
You wouldn't consider a 30-year-old person "outdated," but when you're in the tech world, that's almost ancient. The PC is approaching its 30th birthday, and IBM engineer Mark Dean recently blogged about how quickly things move in technology, saying that "while PCs will continue to be much-used devices, they're no longer at the leading edge of computing. They're going the way of the vacuum tube, Read more
