Guitar Hero World Tour played on a bike?

No, really. This has got to be the most awesome and well planned out thing I have ever seen. Last week, I picked up the new Guitar Hero World Tour for the Wii and have been having fun with it with the kids. Introducing them to drums, singing (or just random sound effects during a song) and guitar on the new beginner level has been a blast, as well as all the new songs since we’ve really been stuck with the ones on GH3 for a while now with no downloadable content on the Wii (and, no, GH: Aerosmith doesn’t count…). Anyway, someone took one of the better songs included and through some creative and well coordinated and timed help from some friends, rode his bike through the note chart for “Prisoner of Society” by The Living End. I don’t even want to know how many times they had to try this before they pulled it off. Full video after the jump. Read more

If you thought the Star Wars prequel trilogy was bad…

I give you, for your viewing pleasure / displeasure,

The Star Wars Holiday Special, in it’s entirety (while it lasts on Google Video, at least). Life Day, Chewie’s family (and son “Lumpy”), Bea Arthur, Harvey Korman, Jefferson Starship, and the one shining moment, the first real appearance of Boba Fett in the animated segment, all after the break.

Which candidate gets the World of Warcraft vote?

This being a technology-based blog, I usually steer away from politics. Too messy, and very passionate viewpoints from both sides. I wanted to pass on a great non-partisan video found today based around a machinma (or basically artistic gameplay) video done out of World of Warcraft, interviewing actual gamers on their political preferences in hopes of seeing which way Azeroth would go if they were included in the election. Great video, funny but also interesting to see the diverse views even of the gaming community. Video after the break. Read more

Found trivia fun - The Drake Equation

In doing some research today on astronomical topics, I came across this little gem that is the cornerstone of the belief that extraterrestrial life is out there somewhere - the Drake Equation, named for Frank Drake and published in 1960. It is what tries to estimate the number of possible extraterrestrial civilizations out there that we might come in contact with. The full equation and explanations, as well as the current estimates of the result of the equation, after the break. Read more

In a unique take on Orson Wells’ historic retelling of the H.G. Wells story “War of the Worlds”, the folks over at “Ask a Wizard” are preparing a new retelling of the alien invasion on Twitter. More after the break. Read more

First rule of Super-Geeks - Knowledge is Power!

Uber-geek Andy checking in (no, that’s not me in the picture) with some interesting learning resources for you geeks looking to expand your horizons. The first rule of being a super-geek we learned from Schoolhouse Rocky, “Knowledge is Power!”. I’ve been away for a little bit from the blog updating due to study work preparing to renew some of my technical certifications that I’ve let slide over the years. For those of you looking into learning from a more scientific field, read on after the break: Read more

Here are your new 2010 Prius pictures!

Our friends over at PriusChat.com posted up some leaked final pictures of the new 2010 Prius. Personally, I think the exterior changes are pretty cool (gets more to the Shuttlecraft look), but I’m still skeptical on the interior changes. The new dashboard display looks cool, but the center console still has me scratching my head so far. More pictures after the break: Read more

Bringing up little Geeklets - Halloween preparations

Last weekend, we let the kiddos try on their Halloween costumes to make sure we didn’t need to do any emergency returns or refittings before the big day of trick or treating. My little geeks-in-training make me proud, so I have to share. More pictures and commentary after the jump. Read more
