GeekAlerts

We’ve seen a lot of wall clocks that have graced Geek Alerts, some of them great, some of them small, and some of them totally off the wall. If the Purple Motherboard Pendulum Clock or the Irrational Numbers Wall Clock don’t make you take a second look and go wow, then maybe you’d be better [...]

I can live without breakfast in the morning, and have tried skipping baths when my schedule just wouldn’t permit (read: when I woke up extremely late and have to be at school in ten minutes to take my finals exam.) But one thing I can’t live without is my cup of coffee. If you’re a [...]

If the DIY Wooden Postcard was a tad too boring for you (although really compared to traditional postcards, it definitely isn’t), then maybe the Postcard Aeroplane is more up your alley. After your recipient reads the message you’ve written down, he or she can poke various parts out of the pre-cut wooden board and build an airplane. [...]

Sometimes the old way of doing things is still the best way. Take postcards for example. I prefer physical postcards compared to e-cards any time. But if you’re up to it, then another twist to this conventional way of getting a short message across the world is through the DIY Wooden Postcard. I think its [...]

I always thought of ukuleles as “mini guitars,” mainly because of how both look, since the sound and style of both instruments are quite different. I like how some songs have a really different feel when they’re covered using a ukulele. You can just buy one, or make one yourself with the Ukulele Kit. You [...]

For covert photo operations, you might want to consider putting on the Electronic Spy Camera Shirt or taking this Hole-On Ex Pinhole Camera with you instead. The former features a design that when looked at closely, might reveal to the subject its real nature. On the other hand, the Hole-On Ex Pinhole Camera is just [...]

The Saga Guitar Kit takes the DIY attitude to an all new level, which music lovers will surely appreciate with the number they did on this thing. Most people say that something becomes more meaningful if they were the ones who made or crafted a certain thing themselves. While it’s definitely really hard to make [...]

When it came to school and doing my homework, I was never the happy camper. I hated having to do math, write papers and essays on topics that I didn’t think were relevant in the real world (I soon learned that i did learn some important stuff.) If you’ve got a kid who just can’t [...]

As with everything else, food is evolving. Pizza just isn’t meant to be made out of just dough anymore, and chocolate isn’t meant to be enjoyed just as a dessert anymore. In fact, you can put the two together nowadays and come up with some fantastic chocolate pizza. How? You can get started with one [...]

Part of what makes sushi so delicious is its colorful presentation; the black nori seaweed against beds of sticky white rice topped with fresh red tuna and orange salmon, contrasted with greens from the cucumber, avocado and wasabi next to pink pickled ginger. Sushi looks a lot like candy and as a result tastes so much better than [...]

Spitballs are so elementary but air guns are too painful. Paint guns are pretty messy, while water guns make things dangerously wet. So if you’re strapped for a weapon of choice, then you might want to consider the Wooden Ballista Kit. Of course before you can actually use it, you have to assemble and put [...]

Remember the days when men used to be such romantics and would court women by sending love letters and cards expressing their feelings and affection? Nowadays, it’s all about instant messaging and emails and digital cards, which often take the romance out of the words. If you’re a man who often gets tongue tied but [...]
