Hump Day Hook-Ups

(I’m always reading and learning the most interesting things on the web but I can never keep track of them all! So I’ve decided to add this new feature to my blog: every Wednesday, I will highlight the top 10 interesting things I’ve read in the past week. Let me know how you like it.)

Welcome to the first installment of Hump Day Hook-Ups! Here’s what’s been keeping the geek laughing, rolling her eyes, or très excitée this week:

  1. Knicks assent to several demands to get Walsh, ESPN. I’ve had a renewed hope for my boys ever since the rumors about Walsh surfaced…and today, they finally made it official! 😀
  2. April Fools’ Alert #3: Legend of Zelda movie by IGN, Joystiq. There were some very good April Fools’ Day pranks/jokes this year (including one pulled on a certain someone by many of his friends on Facebook…hehe, ask me about it!) but this has to be my favorite. I really wish they were coming out with this movie!
  3. Friday Fun: Watch Star Wars in Text via Telnet, Lifehacker. Don’t you love it when some other obsessed geek takes the time and dedication to create something so creative yet obvious, à la “D’oh! Why didn’t I think of that?”
  4. Metareview — Ninja Gaidan: Dragon Sword, Joystiq. The new Ninja Gaidan’s been getting some sweet reviews. Me must purchase! (As soon as I get some time to start gaming seriously again, that is.)
  5. Life-Size Star Wars Droids Can Speak, Drain Wallets, Gizmodo. R2-D2’s my favorite Star Wars character…need I say more?
  6. Your First Taste of Bruno, Perez Hilton. Are you a Borat fan? Sasha Baron Cohen is at it again, but this time as Bruno, a gay Austrian. Perez brings you some hilarious footage that was taken by a passerby.
  7. Brilliant 404 Pages, Neatorama. There’s good web design, then there’s good AND clever web design. I love how these websites have taken something seemingly as trivial as a 404 page and turned them into pure brilliance.
  8. BlackBerry 9000 First Impressions, Boy Genius Report. BGR gives a short but precise report on the new, highly anticipated Crackberry model.
  9. Adobe launches Photoshop for the web, LifeClever. This has to be the biggest design-related news of the past week. While the online version isn’t as comprehensive as the original (no layers!), the flash-based version of the app is FREE, and from reviews, not too shabby.
  10. Mario Kart launch trailers are comprehensive, Nintendo Wii Fanboy. Can’t wait till it comes out!

Geek in Heels

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit www.geekinheels.com
