Saturday was an interesting day for the anime expo crowd, well, at least the early birds who got there before lunch. The LAPD bomb squad made an appearance. This was very much an on duty appearance as a “suspicious crate” had been discovered in the South Hall lobby area of the LA Convention Center. Apparently […]
Creepy as fook! Doctor Who backpack
What if The Doctor and Donna never met up? The world would be a horrible place and we know that because of the Doctor Who episode Turn Left. Turn Left also features the return of Rose Tyler. Well. For a bit. I’ll always remember the episode for just the 1980s style special effect that was […]
The first rule of Fight Club: You don’t talk about Monty Python
I’m a great big fan of Fight Club. I’m a great big fan of Monty Python. Ah-ha! There comes a Monty Python and Fight Club mashup. Okay; that’s a little expected but it should be good! Actually, let’s make no bones about this – both the visual and audio editing here are first rate. It […]
The sounds dial-up modems make… slowed down 700 times to creep factor 100
Do you remember old dial up modems? Once sweet music to my ear and the sound of pain to my phone bill. Good. Keep ahold of that memory and in your mind slow down the dial up tone by a factor of 7, now 70, now 700. Can’t do it? Me neither. This video solves […]
Lucy Pinder gaming
As part of an advertising campaign for Lynx (strangely known as Ax in the States) their ad agency has uploaded hours of video of Lucy Pinder to YouTube. I looked her up on Wikipedia. She’s a glamour model. There’s a catch. You can ask her to do stuff. Remember Burger King’s funky chicken or the […]
Happy Tau Day – 6.28 to you
Today is Tau Day. You need to think of the American way of putting the month before the date to get 6.28.2011 before that really makes sense. Tau Day isn’t just a “Hey! Look. 6.28 is a rounding on Tau” gimmick. There are maths geeks out there who really think there’s too much focus on […]
Join the rebellion: Greenpeace blasts VW in “The Dark Side”
This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions. As a result the pressure group has put together this geek friendly and […]
Stormbikers
This is an odd picture for a Hungarian biker blog to be posting. Okay, yes, it does include what appears to be a bike. It’s the driver and passenger that catch my attention though. There’s something familiar about them. I’ve seen them somewhere before. Not sure what’s on the back of the passenger either. A […]

Matt Needham, aka Spiritgreen, makes sure that Geek Native knows when his latest design is about to feature on a “design a day” site. This time round we’ve a “By Wandlight” t-shirt that features some familar scenes. Needham said; This magically illuminated scene is inspired by some of the key monsters from the Harry Potter […]
The Imerj smartpad
If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum. For example, Imerj has a device […]
