First of all, sorry about the lack of updates lately. I’ve been involved in a project that has taken up all of my time. But now GeekAlerts is back on track and you can expect lots of new entries about fun, cool, weird and interesting gadgets.

A few changes to the GeekAlerts design have been made. Slightly different colors, a wider layout to be able to serve you larger product photos, and gravatars (globally recognized avatars) for the comments.

Apart from visiting the actual website, you can also make sure to keep up to date with the latest gadgets and design news using any of these options:

• Subscribe to GeekAlerts news via RSS
• Follow the GeekAlerts blog at Twitter
• Subscribe to the GeekAlerts newsletter

Thank you for your patience, dear readers, and sorry once again for the “downtime”.

Yes, that is correct! After having received a lot of feedback from all you readers and having considered my previous decision for another week, I have come to one simple conclusion: Closing down GeekAlerts would be insane!

I won’t bore you with all the details, but I can tell you this much; all the wonderful emails, comments and instant messages I received from you guys really had a big impact on me. Thank you so much for all the kind words!

I’m sorry about the confusion, but I hope to see you back here at GeekAlerts.

You can expect to see a lot more action going on, so make sure to check back often. Don’t forget that you can subscribe to the news via the RSS feed or email newsletter.

Here’s a selection of the latest GeekAlerts articles:

• Thumbs Up Radio
• Digital Fountain Clock (Video)
• Beautiful Retro Media Center PC
• Awesome 50s Style Mecha Robot Models

Many thanks to all of you!
