In fact, he’s so digitally connected that he recently endorsed, no no, ENCOURAGED the use of blogging by the clergy for spreading the word of God. That should attract all of those damn Gen Y whipper-snappers. I’ve ...

Even if these shoes didn’t tweet, they’d be awesome just for the fact that they brand the image of the Twitter bird. I love that little guy.

I’m always curious why some Facebook users are so guarded that they refuse to put any sort of profile picture, period. I can understand not wanting to put a picture of yourself, but at least uploading some sort of image to catch our attention would be nice. These creative “No Photo” Facebook pics take the ‘fault’ out of default. Why ...

Yes, tacos. The breakfast of champions. Taco Bell has decided to give 1 million free Fresco Tacos away and you can get your very own if you can print out your coupon quick enough. But of course, alas, there is a disclaimer. The local manager can deny any customer a free taco. So if there’s a mad dash for a ...

Adding to the awesomeness of his 2008 LEGO computer, Luke Anderson created this DIY project which helps you create your very own internet router built from LEGO bricks. Based around the Linksys WRT54GL router model, the LEGO Router works just like its Linksys counterpart except for its brick-tastic style. Basically Anderson took the innards of a perfectly usable Linksys router ...

The loss of a loved one is never easy, but there’s something particularly difficult about losing family around the holidays. Fellow geek Declan became the victim of one of the worst losses a GEARhead can suffer — the loss of a gaming console, as is intelligently described by the man himself via Facebook. “Ma xbox is fukd.” And only days ...
