Web 2.0 is Good for Watching Stupid People

Friday, March 30th, 2007

We here at the Geek often praise the advent of Web 2.0 technologies for their usefulness. However, we sometimes come across stuff that if it was not for Web 2.0 we would never see, it involves acts of stupidity. Yes the world is a better place for the fact that we can catch those moments [...]

YouTube Video Awards

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Last Week we were going to include this story but it got the axe. Don’t blame me Knightwise is the axeman. Anyway, the winners have been announced and there are some top winners.
First up the winner of the Best Music Video was “Say It’s Possible” by Terra Naomi. Now for those that have listened to [...]

Someone Definitely Wants You to Get Definitely Right

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

People have many motivations for setting up a webpage or a blog. But always it is because they want to say something, whatever that may be.
Spelling bugs some people… a lot. This person was obviously bugged so much they decided to make the point by publishing a webpage. No Ajax, no fancy fonts, no social [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #044 :: Hammered

Monday, March 26th, 2007

This week in Geek we have a chat about WGA, Vista and the government. But not forgetting that paint may now be your enemy and something to protect you from Cell Phone “rays”.
We take a look at Linux MCE that could give Microsoft MCE a run for it’s money. Getting things done can sometimes be [...]

Caption This 04

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

This week we have a special caption this. I did not have to look far for the fodder. It is our very own Cameron Reilly, CEO of The Podcast Network. He very proudly posted his dome on Flickr (which was great cause I stole it). Although it was not for the stunning look Cam shaved [...]

Windows twitter Client :: Twitteroo

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

With all this talk about twitter I have decided to put this up on the blog this week rather than cover it in the next show. Twitteroo is a twitter client for Windows users.

The Global Geek Podcast #043 :: Show Us Your twits

Monday, March 19th, 2007

This week we crack on with the show on our own again. But that makes it no less worthwhile! Knightwise’s Intro pretty much sums it up…
“With your feedback, a lot of friendly banter, Dr evil making a house call and of course some DRM free music, this is the ultimate, heavily cafinated, completely irresistible, non-prunesafe, [...]

Firefox Extension :: twitterbar

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

From the extension name I thought this Firefox extension was another toolbar for Firefox, if that is the case then I would not even blog about it. But this extension allows you to make posts to twitter directly from the address bar in firefox, with a couple of nice touches.
Twitter is all the rage at [...]
