Tropicana Gets All Sunny Up On Canada’s Ass

Mar.04, 2010, under Web & Graphic Design/Development

The Canadian Arctic: Barren, frightening, and cold as all hell. Are we still talking about Canada or one of my ex-girlfriend? Zing! Tropicana, the orange juice company, went to some town in the Canadian Arctic who went without seeing the sun in over 31 days (because a wizard cast a magical sorcery spell on them I’d imagine) and made their own, because Tropicana is trying to be all up in god’s buisness. You tell ‘em Tropicana, you show that god who’s boss (It’s Tony Danza). You hear me up there? God won’t make it sunny for those chilly kids, Tropicana will show up and give your ass some magical brightly lit balls. You heard me.

Funeral Being Held Today For Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)

Mar.04, 2010, under Computers & Video Games, The Interweb, Web & Graphic Design/Development

Today at 7 PM MST (Mountain Standard Time), a funeral will be held in Colorado for Internet Explorer 6. Here is an excerpt from the site and gives details how this moment came to be:

Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.

You see, unknown to many people, like the elderly, and.. nuns, IE6 is a horrible piece of software. Anti-aliasing bugs, severe CSS and div issues, along with the fact it was utter hell to try and supplement code when using standardized W3C compliant tags made this a blunder for Microsoft (as if they don’t do this daily anyway). I shall not miss you, IE6. May you burn in hell for eternity.

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter – The True Story

Mar.01, 2010, under Funny, Politics and Religion

Words cannot describe how awesome this video is, so just watch it, then go buy the book. I don’t read myself, because I was born on a farm in northern Oklahoma where reading was a little taboo. We milked cats, just sayin’. All shenanagans aside, reading is for sissies. Why read a boring old book when you can put the smack down on some fools in Modern Warfare 2. Am I right or am I right? Headshot! However, if I were to actually read a book, you bet your ass this would be on the top of my list.

Google Maps Wants You To Buy Pizza During Earthquake

Mar.01, 2010, under Funny, Politics and Religion

Saddened by the news of the terrible earthquake in Chile, Google Maps wants you to do your American duty to help out, and.. buy pizza.. I guess. This snippet, taken from some sort of website where you can find people, or give info on missing people (marco!) during the Chilean earthquake (polo!) shows Google in true economic form. Because, you know, searching for your family members in the rubble of a devastating earthquake is hard work, and what else would be more awesome after a hard days work than gobbling up some delicious Domino’s pizza? Nothing, that’s what.

Holy Crap: Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” Played On Violin

Feb.19, 2010, under Random

Jimmy Chaos, who not only can rock the shit out of the violin, but also has a sweet last name that reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog, is seen here playing “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley. Note to those with epilepsy, you might want to hit play and just minimize it. I take no responsibility if you fall out of your chair in a seizure attack and bite your tongue off because of this video. I suppose if that does happen, you’ll have the sweet sounds of Mr. Chaos to listen to though, which wouldn’t be so bad.

Nom nom nom. Pac-Man Candy Tastes Like WIN!

Feb.16, 2010, under Computers & Video Games

Did you know Pac-Man is 30 this year? Wow, who feels old besides me? Do you miss the more simple days of your youth, where the only concern was making it home before the street lights came on? And now, while you look back at those seemingly blissful summer days, you realize you are just an empty shell owned by “the man”. It’s a sad state of affairs. Growing up sucks. But what if you could re-live some of those memories? What if YOU could chow down on some power pellets and take on the world just like that crazy yellow nom-noming son of a bitch did all those years. Today is your day my friends. Not a fan of Pac-Man and wish you could be Inky or Clyde? You can do that too! Choose Pac-Man and get your grub on some orange flavored power pellets. Choose Blinky and munch on some sour cherry ghost candies. Plus, you have the chance of getting a limited edition vulnerable blue ghost full of blue raspberry candy. Did your head just explode? Mine did. Twice.

Geekogle Plays Hide and Seek, Not Dead

Feb.10, 2010, under Computers & Video Games, The Interweb

To my adored readers who frequent this site, ever clicking the refresh button hoping for an updated article, I apologize. My last post was almost a month ago, but I wanted to post this quick update to let you know to not shed any tears, for Geekogle will return, hopefully sooner and better than ever. The truth of the matter is, this site is not ran by a big corporate organization who has a team of writers, analysts, and researchers. It’s just one guy (for now). With that in mind, life outside the toy box is crazy busy. Besides this site, I work full time and go to school part time. This term especially, has kept me more busy than I could have ever imagined. Since my dear Geekogle site certainly sits in the lower 5 of my priorities, it has suffered in the form of neglect.

However, Geekogle is not dead, nor do I plan on closing shop like so many other blogs and sites these days. Geekogle will live on, it will survive, if only in a state of hide and seek for awhile. Thanks for visiting, come back often. Who knows when something new will pop up.

Angry Traveler Tweets About Bombs, Gets Arrested

Jan.18, 2010, under Politics and Religion, Retarded

Just a hint for those of you who aren’t in the know: Talking about bombing your local airport for ANY reason is probably not a great idea. With that said, Paul Chambers is a moron.. and he’s British to boot, so that’s strike two (Just kidding you crazy Brits, I love you guys and your crumpets and tea). Apparently while traveling by plane, Paul was stuck in an airport due to weather conditions. Pissy and probably drunk, he tweeted

“Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high.”

Fast forward to January 13th, when the local police decided to pay him a visit with a paper copy of the tweet. I’m sure you can guess the rest of what happened. Paul was arrested, interrogated, and locked up under the World Terrorist Act until his trial date of February 11th. Along with that, the tweet was deleted, and his computers and iPhone were taken for evidence.

I’d like to make three key points here. One, Paul is a moron. Two, this is my 100th post. Yay me. And three, while I think it’s sad that this exploded (Yeah, I went there) into what was obviously just a frustrated traveler, I think if you’re stupid enough to post on the Internet a bomb threat, you should expect that an equally stupid agency should put the smack down on your ass.

Strike three, Pauly.

Artist Spotlight: Adrian Grajdeanu’s Wicked Character Design

Jan.14, 2010, under Artist Spotlight, Web & Graphic Design/Development

Adrian Grajdeanu is a character designer/2D artist who draws some scary ass pictures. You’ve been warned. It gave me nightmares and I can neither confirm nor deny that I peed the bed a little. It’s reminiscent of Resident Evil/Silent Hill type of model design, but definitely has it’s own vision. The full set is well worth a look, which is located in the source.  Also a few more after the click. Don’t blame me if you scream in horror at your cubicle. I take no responsibility for your shenannigans.

Restoring A Little Faith In Humanity

Jan.13, 2010, under Random

I feel very hippi-ish today. Don’t you? Let’s go out and hug trees, frolic on the grassy knoll, eat berries and grow some wicked awesome beards! Wow, now that I think about it, that actually doesn’t sound fun at all. In any case, take Plaza Cleaners in Portland Oregon. The picture below is a standard sign that was put up by the owners to promote the business and give back to the community. Oregon unemployment rates are still one of the highest in the country. It’s nice to see a local business giving back in the best way they know how, clean your filthy laundry. Seriously, I can smell it from here. If you’re in the Portland area, please click the link below to visit their website, drop some clothes off, and when you’ve got that nicely starched (light starch please) shirt, walk into that interview and I make a personal guarantee that you will get hired.*

*guarantee not valid after 01/12/2010

Ha! See what I did there, I posted the date YESTERDAY! I’m so clever.
