The Sound Tank: DJ Weapon Of Mass Temptation
As technology gets more advanced every day, we can do cooler things with lesser technology, if that makes any sense. The computers of today have enabled pretty much anyone to create simple drag-and-drop music that they can play for their friends and loved ones even in real-time. It's pretty much jus ...
Gutters & Drains That Play Music When It Rains
Since I'm on the Internet pretty much all day every day, sometimes I think I've seen it all. Many times people will send me tweets and ask where I find the stuff I write about, and I don't even know how to answer that question. When you spend as much time online as Richard and I do, finding wild, wa ...
Steampunk Mp3 Player Will Match Your Retro Time Machine
I can't believe that steampunk has become so popular. I mean, I can understand it; however, it's pretty much everywhere these days. I am just surprised that we haven't seen a steampunked car or even a bus yet. There are steampunk apartments out there selling for nearly $2 million, and I am sure we'l ...
100 Years Of Dance & Fashion In 100 Seconds
It's hard to believe that just 100 years ago the world looked a lot different from what it does today. It's not some cheesy way of staying nostalgic or even trying to reminisce about better times before. No, it's honestly just a way to say that the world really looked different. Comparing things wou ...
Lego Roland Jupiter 8 Synthesizer Brings Back The Retro
There is one block that is the foundation of the world, or at least that's what we geeks would really like it to be. I used to say that "Lego is the solution to everything," and you probably agree with me because if you think about it, it's cooler than cool. The creativity you can get out of it is j ...

The Evolution Of Portable Music [Infographic]
With the mp3 file format came a whole new revolution of technology and also a lot of whining from the record companies. Being a writer and producer myself, I particularly remember when the record and publishing companies started to blame their lousy innovative thinking regarding dropping sales due t ...
Portal 2 Now Has Its Own Rap Theme Song
It's like the geek community just can't get enough of the always emerging game spoofs. Whenever there is a hit on the shelves and people run to get their copy of the game, jesters start to brainstorm to come up with the next viral thing associated with it. We've seen it time and time again, and thei ...
Crazy Glow Stick Experiment: Let There Be Light!
My first contact, visually that is, with glow sticks was when I watched some movie for the first time. It was a lot of years ago, but I still remember the cool attitude those puppies gave off. I was mesmerized by the light and the simplicity of how they worked. I don't exactly remember which movie i ...
It’s A Dad’s Life: A Daddy Gangsta Rap
I have plenty of friends on Twitter who are dads, and to be honest, I sometimes wonder how they manage to fit it all in. Their tweeting is off the hook, and still they have a day job to go to every day. And as if that wasn't enough, they also have a family to take care of. It really ought to impress ...
Memory Tapes: Strangest Music Video You’ve Ever Seen
I think most of us are quite used to music videos that have insane special effects. At least this is true if you've seen some of the later (not recent though) Michael Jackson videos. He always had the most insane special effects, and he was always on the edge when it came to technology. However, rec ...
Dances iPhone App: Modern Dance Meets Digital World
For the first time ever, a free app which exclusively highlights dance is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in the App Store. It's called "Dances for an iPhone," and although I'm not much of a dancer, after checking it out in more detail, I found it to be very well put together ...
Recycled Nintendo NES Becomes 6 Man Music Jamming Device
I don't know how many times I have wished that I never got rid of my Nintendo NES console. It has almost become something to grieve over, and I can't seem to get my butt out of the chair long enough to actually hunt another one down. I would just love to sit for a couple of hours and play Super Mari ...
Game Boy Music: But Not The Kind We’re Used To
Writing and producing music has a lot of facets that most people are unaware of. There are several procedures that you do to get the sounds, instruments and vocals to really pop out of a mix to make it break through the overall noise of a song. With today's technology, you don't have to have expensi ...
These Japanese Guys REALLY Know How To Dance
In all the chaos and heartache, it seems Japan is the most capable country of all to handle the unfortunate and horrible events that took place several weeks ago. They are determined to rebuild their country in record time, and there are countless images and videos of how powerful and positive this ...
Rymdreglage: 8-Bit Retro Lego Stop Motion Music Video
When geeks get creative the most wonderful things can happen. It doesn't always happen, but it does quite often, even if I may say so myself. A geek's creativity might not speak to the overall general population, but it's evident that their brainchildren usually make a high impact on social media se ...
