The Tank Suitcase

Posted by Jim as Random Thoughts

Well, there's a reason I'm posting this article here in Gadzooki. Part of it is that you guys do your traveling to tech shows and conventions. When you do, you most probably will be lugging your age-old suitcases with you half-full and coming home with it as heavy with all the convention freebies filling up the other half. Us geeks need to have a tech solution to help us tug our loot from hotel, to the taxi, to the airport, thru customs, thru stairs, stairs and more stairs... sigh. Here's a concept design for a suitcase that's looks like a "tank". Climbing UP suitcase designed by Woo Moonhyung is right on the dot to design ...

Geek Movie Selections

Posted by Jaren as Cool Stuff, Random Thoughts

This is my "geek" movie selections although not really rated by who's the best or not, so there's no ranking I just want to watch them and here it is: Pirates of Silicon Valley It tells the tale of the start of Microsoft and Apple and has a brilliant cast who do a great job of portraying their characters. Noah Wyle as Steve Jobs. Short Circuit Number 5 is alive! or Johnny 5 as one of 5 in a group of experimental robots in a lab then which was accidentally electrocuted, which messes up his programming becomes intelligent, and escapes. Hackers Although it's not a Hardcore geek film and doesn't even give a decent representation of “hackers” but nonetheless it comes close to giving ...

On Watching Horror Movies

Posted by Jaren as Random Thoughts

For some time I have been paying more attention to watching horror / suspense movies rather than my usual movie line ups. I got so caught in this whole horror movie watching thing. That I even start to dream that I'm inside one. So here's My list on why I liked watching horror movies. Every time the bad guy steps into the scene or is lurking somewhere in the scene. The bad guy's theme song is played or a sort of weird, eerie music to maximize the horror effect. The Characters or the "good guys" tend to split up at the wrong time, it's dumb, I know and we know that being alone is probably the most dumbest thing to do especially ...

My PhotoBucket.com Annoyance

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Random Thoughts

I think I’m collecting pet peeves per encounter, and I know one new blogging pet peeve for me now: Photobucket’s new interface. Back in the “days of old,” you can upload any ole photo in Photobucket, and that’s that. Nowadays, you have to jump through hoops in order to just finish uploading one picture. One picture!

Tech and Christianity 101: Teh Resources

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Random Thoughts, Review, Reviews

In Part 1 of my Tech and Christianity series, I talked about how important tech would be to a Christian’s ministry. Today, I will talk about what resources there are for the pastor and the lay Christian. First up, there are a myriad of articles on how to walk the Christian life. From Apologetics to devotionals, and even a series of webpages on how to deal with hard issues the Christian/Biblical way, there is no reason for a Christian to fall away from the faith if he is online. Not even the threat of pron could hurt a Christian’s walk, if he loves his God unequivocally. The resources are so many, I even stumbled upon an exposition on the book of Revelation (Chapter 12) that finally seems accurate and highly objective.

Tech and Christianity 101: An Intro

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Random Thoughts

If you are a pastor, a church staffer, or just someone who zealously wants to uphold The Great Commission, it may do you good to be tech-savvy. Tech now connects people, and the computer and the Internet are great tools to enhance a Christian’s ministry. With quite a schedule to run after, a pastor might not have time to rifle through tomes of different Bible versions. Yes, the Word of God is consistently life-giving, but the richness of His Word is given more dimensions when different translations are used. Like in Rick Warren’s book Purpose-Driven Life, the shades of the meaning of God’s Word are captured in a richer, more beautiful light when different translations are used.

Desktops are In (again)

Posted by Jaren as Gadzooki News, Portable Media, Random Thoughts

Pranksters Invade Starbucks With Desktop Computers Oh man, I love this article on Engadget. Got me snickering as pranksters bring their desktop computers to Starbucks to mooch WiFi. We all know that we usually get the limelight if we bring out our laptops, but this is so funny and plus its great publicity for Starbucks. And the funny thing about is they're using Windows 95, yeah hello nostalgia. Desktops are In (again)

pic courtesy of Engadget We've already seen the confusion and hilarity some so-called "portable" computers can cause when taken out into public, but those shenanigans are nothing compared to the scene stirred up when the folks from Improv Everywhere lugged some ancient desktop computers ...

Steam finally coming to Macs in April

I’m really agnostic in this whole Mac vs. PC thing here – I use (and love) a Windows 7 workhorse, but at the same time I’m seriously considering getting a Mac for my next computer. Of course, it goes without saying I can’t make fun of both sides of the debate: Windows – blue screen [...]
