This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test. While we still have to tolerate ’emergency alert system’ interruptions, it’s not so bad when you have the power of DVR. Now we can look back on the days of old-school color block screens and […]
Geek parents can’t help but pass their cultured wisdom onto their younglings. Sesame Street does a fine job of teaching kids about opposites, but what about Star Trek? With the Star Trek Book of Opposites book, your budding scholar will have a much clearer understanding of the yins and yangs […]
In the classic movie “A Christmas Story,” the young boy Ralphie has quite a few low moments, such as being forced to sport the pink bunny suit, the ‘oh fudge’ bar soap treatment, and being told that he’ll shoot his eye out every time he talks about the Red Ryder BB gun. At one […]
A lot of home theaters I see are designed seriously modern and hi-tech, but they lack that certain something; cheesiness. Public theaters have always been cheesy in nature in my opinion; from the psychedelic carpeting, to the silly trivia quizzes before previews, to the bright yellow cheese that saturates wannabe nacho […]
Make decorating the tree this year more of a family event. Get everyone in the whole clan to help out over warm mugs of hot chocolate and eggnog, and bond as you share stories and reminisce about the good, old days while hanging up the […]
Kit-Cat was never one of my favorite characters because of its freaky-looking eyes. But I have to admit that without his signature eyes, Kit-Cat would just be like any other cartoon cat on the block. He’s been around since the 1930s, actually, which is quite […]
Polaroid cameras are a classic part of American culture. Sadly they are no longer being produced, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still get one. These Reconditioned Classic Polaroid Cameras have been fully reconditioned from pre-owned cameras and are the perfect way to get […]
This Nintendo Controller Track Jacket is awesomely geeky because it displays your retro video gaming weapon of choice up front for all to see. It also looks pretty geek-chic. This is an officially-licensed Nintendo product so you can be sure that it is coming from […]
Everyone needs a wallet; even those of us short on cash. The Nintendo Controller Wallet is the perfect gift for adults and kids alike. Most of us grew up playing Zelda and Mario Brothers and still enjoy those classic on titles the Nintendo Wii system…I […]
Keep your head warm and your mind on Nintendo with this classic Nintendo Beanie. This officially licensed beanie is 100% acrylic and is reversible. It’s black on one side with a classic 8-bit NES controller logo and gray/black on the other side with the same […]
Not many of us are lucky enough to work from home these days and most of us suffer some type of boring commute. With today’s gas prices and insurance costs, I doubt any of you are driving a classic hot rod to work every day…are […]
Alarm clocks are necessary, but very much annoying. How many times have you been in a deep sleep, dreaming about something you probably want to keep to yourself, when BAM, the alarm starts blaring and la la land is gone. Time to wake up and […]
Stop the press! Just when you thought typewriters were banished from Earth, someone has designed one that is adaptable for your computer and doubles as an iPad dock. The USB Royal Typewriter is not only a fantastic keyboard for your computer, but it’s also a […]
Recently, I was teased for bringing a 256MB SD card to a meeting. So what? At least it wasn’t a floppy disk. Since floppies are now considered antiques, and memory cards with limited storage are following close behind, there are all sorts of retro products created in memoir of poor old floppy. So […]
Technology is really amazing nowadays. Instead of the usual paper notes and memos, office computers are now equipped with network messaging systems that help the company go green and paperless. But if you want to go back the paper route and be all old school […]

I was feeling so lazy last Halloween that I just put on one of the suits I usually wear to work and went as myself. This year though, I’m determined to make more of an effort with my costume. And what better way than to […]
I remember a tradition that my dad and I used to have back when I was much younger. Every Sunday night, we’d sit at the table and play a round of dominoes after dinner. It was a fun way to bond and I enjoyed playing […]
Ideally we all want to seem smart and sophisticated while still maintaining our cool; I even took a classical music class in college. A good mix would be somewhere between Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon and Lost’s James “Sawyer” Ford. It’s doubtful that you’re going to […]
What a difference a few decades make. Today we have 3D televisions, cutting edge video gaming systems and think nothing of spending $60 for that new video game. In the 50’s, you probably had a small black and white tube TV and you would treat […]
