Julia Sherred's Geeky Pleasures

YAY! It is another geeky music thing! I do not think I have to say again that when geekery and music are combined, a happy Jules becomes a very happy Jules, indeed. Last week, I post a video of an awesome Rube Goldberg machine. Today I came across the following music video which includes a Rube Goldberg machine. Now not only...

Geeky Pleasures contributor Chris Knight (@cwknight) would freak over this!” That is of course after I finished squee’ing with delight. What is it? It is a bloody LEGO® Segway robot built using the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT 2.0 kit. Watch... 

This week’s Geek of the Week is once again a musical selection. The song is called Mathematical Birthday and it is by Edric Haleen (self proclaimed Math Geek. Studied Math, Physics and Education in University and now teaches). His name may already be familiar with you as he is a competitor in the Master of Song Fu and... 

I’m a geek who loves music. So when geekery and music are combined, I have asplosions of giddy and happy. Every now and then I come across a piece of music that I cannot get enough of and it happened once again this week. Paul R Potts (@paulrpotts) aka Common Lisp is participating in Masters of Song Fu 6. I already mentioned... 

Yes I know this is two days early, however as of today I am away until next week getting my game on with GottaCon. This means no site updates for about a week. The timing of becoming aware of this week’s Geek of the Week could not have been better. A friend of mine sent me an email with the title Hey Jules… the following... 

It’s another awesome retro gadget post. I’ve shown you the tape cassette USB hub, the VHS hard drive and now I present to you the NES hard drive! Some people make some very cool stuff on Etsy. 8-Bit Memory is just one of those shops. And not only do they have NES hard drives, but Super NES hard drives, GBA thumb... 

This week’s Geek of the Week goes to Joe “Covenant” Lamb (@JoeCovenant). Joe was my featured independent musician for the month of November, so you may be asking yourself, “Why is he being awarded Geek of the Week?” There are a few reasons for this. Even so he announced it some time ago, earlier... 

If you do not read Phil Plait’s blog or do not follow me on Twitter, then you may have missed this little bit of awesome. The following comic found at Tree Lobsters made me howl and gigglesnort for hours. There are a lot of awesome comics to be found there but this one certainly deserves the title of Geek of the Week.... 

In 4 weeks (February 5, 2010), GottaCon’s doors open at 5 PM and do not close again until Sunday, February 7 at 7 PM for 50 hours of non stop gaming and over 200 different events. In lieu of this, this week’s Geek of the Week goes to GottaCon. If you are not yet familiar with GottaCon, it is Vancouver Island’s... 

Happy New Year! The very first Geek of the Week for 2010 is something Star Trek related. I wish I knew how to scuba dive because this is the type of wetsuit I would purchase. You can purchase the original series 7MM wetsuits in red, blue and yellow from Roddenberry.com for $469.95 USD. You can also purchase a 3MM version for...
