Who says there#8217;s not a way to make Thanksgiving just as geeky as every other day of the year?
The guys over at Sparkle Labs have made a simple PDF template you can download to turn your table into a festival of technological bounty. Just glue the turkey template to some cardboard, cut it out,#8230;
street pad patriot joypad: the star spangled joystick
November 26, 2009 by technabob · Leave a Comment
I can#8217;t tell if this American flag inspired joypad is a proper tribute to the good old U.S. of A., or if the giant holes poked in the front of it count at defacing the flag. Well, either way this flag-waving joystick has its intentions in the right place #8211; assuming you#8217;re not anti-American.

If there#8217;s anyone out there who still thinks that video games are for kids, here#8217;s something to look at: a student named Matthew couldn#8217;t answer one of the items in his math quiz, so he drew a Pokemon on his test paper instead. #8230; Are you still with me? Okay. Now, Pokemon trainers – roughly#8230;

Google#8217;s auto-complete feature guesses what you#8217;re looking for based on the most popular searches, giving you an idea of what other people are searching for as well as what#8217;s on the Internet. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone found himself or herself staring at the suggestions and said, damn, I#8230;

Do you still have your old NES console? Do you love electronic music? Then I know what you#8217;re getting for Christmas. This new cartridge for the old Nintendo Entertainment System features a bunch of new #8220;chiptunes#8221; by electronic recording artist Animalstyle (or is that 4NIM4L57YL3?)
The emTELETIME/em cartridge features ten original electronic compositions that use the#8230;
first else: new smartphone with an interface that hates left-handed people
November 25, 2009 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
Else – formerly Emblaze Mobile – is the latest company to challenge Apple and the iPhone#8217;s domination among smartphones with their curiously-named device, the First Else. The phone is apparently bursting with #8220;revolutionary#8221; and #8220;game-changing#8221; technology and design, including the sPlay, #8220;a right-thumb-controlled, sci-fi-like fan menu interface.#8221; What#8217;s that? You#8217;re left-handed? Screw you, is what#8230;
a pair of pi ornaments for your tree

Symbols are useful, especially in crafting. Why? Because it would be damned difficult to crochet 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41#8230; well, you get the point. Much, much better to just use the symbol. Then you can even make a pair of #8216;em!
I#8217;d have to say that these ornaments represent the least#8230;
happy 30th anniversary sony walkman!

One of the most beloved and most famous brands in music, the Walkman was the iPod of my childhood. Funny how both names make no direct reference to their products. Anyway the first ever commercially available Walkman was the TPS-L2, which was released in July 1979; it#8217;s blue-and-silver body still looks sexy to me.

animal crossing jewelry, better late than never

The world is tragically short on emAnimal Crossing/em crafts. Sure, occasionally someone turns up with a KK Slider plush or a handmade knick-knack, but the adorable world of emAnimal Crossing/em should be everywhere. It should be up there with emKatamari Damacy/em and emLoco Roco/em#8211;at least, visually#8211;but for the most part, emAnimal Crossing/em is MIA from the geek craft scene#8230;#8230;
