Brad Pitt Graces the Cover of Wired, Talks a Ton of Tech
Coming to newsstands on July 21, the latest issue of Wired magazine heats things up this Summer with heartthrob Brad Pitt on the cover. While Angelina Jolie has admitted her lack of tech-expertise by saying she doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, Brad proves he's an Internet whiz when asked about Twitter and online dating.
When questioned about the taboo topic of talking on the phone in the loo he says:
No, you can't talk on the phone!
J.J. Abrams Brings Possibly the Coolest Issue of Wired Yet

Geeky Proposals: Awesome or Kinda Lame?
What girl wouldn't want a memorable marriage proposal? But popping the question on a Jumbotron or hiding the ring in a dessert is so 10 years ago. In these days of love 2.0, you gotta be more creative and a lot more tech savvy.
Björk Gets Wired With Wanderlust in 3-D
Wired got the 3-D premiere of Björk's new video for "Wanderlust," directed by geek impresarios Encyclopedia Pictura. I love that this premiere is a Wired.com event rather than say, an MTV.com event. Seeing the video, you'll understand why — those 3D glasses are necessary!
Wired's Geekster Handbook: Which Kind of Geek Are You?
This month's Wired brings you their take on the geek hierarchy — remember when we surmised that there were many different types of geekdom? Well, Wired agrees, and they've offered up six types of geek: The Fanboy (classic Star Wars/Simpsons lover and defender), the Music Geek (think Rob Gordon from High Fidelity), the Gamer (your thumbs are always sore), The Gadget Guy (3G + iPhone = drool), the Hacker (fears the sun), and the Otaku (all Manga, all the time).
Do you fall into any of the categories, or are you a different kind — or a hybrid geek?

You Make the Call: Is This a Green Home?
Whether or not it's really green, it certainly is beautiful. WIRED magazine has teamed up with LivingHomes, a company that builds green, prefabricated homes, to create WIRED Home, a house in LA that showcases green, sustainable technology.
The home was manufactured in the factory, reducing cost and construction waste.
Lisa Katayama of Tokyomango: Geeky Girl We Love
If you're into gadgets you've probably realized some of the coolest, strangest and geekiest gadgets and gizmos come from Japan. If you're a real webmeister, you've probably noticed the hottest Japanese items are often premiered to the US (and the rest of the world) via Tokyomango, a site started by Lisa Katayama nearly a year ago.
Lisa, who grew up in Tokyo and now lives in San Francisco, has been sharing her insight into Japanese culture and gadgets (as well as her general knowledge of techie things) with Wired Magazine for two years and is also the associate editor at PLANETº Magazine.
