Happy International Bacon Day!

Yes, the day we've all been waiting for. Well, maybe all of you geeks out there. Sadly, I wasn't even aware of today's significance, and I am all out of bacon in my home. I thought of throwing some spam into a frying pan, but it just seemed a bit pathetic. So, to all you carnivorous bacon-crunchers, sizzle some extra portions of greasy goodness for Techie G, and enjoy!

R2D2 Helmet

Jenn Hall and R2 embark on a scooter ride through the city.

If R2 can lock down the stabilizers on your X-wing and help you take down the death star, then he seems like the obvious choice for keeping your brain safely secured in your skull during a perilous bike/scooter/other-wheeled ride. Jen Hall of Blogspot created this epic piece of safety headwear. Check out her page to see how it's done and how to make one yourself.

Star Wars: Family Tiff

Google's Public DNS, It's Time to Switch. [FIXED]

So today I switched my DNS from my default to Google DNS. What does this mean? It means faster interwebs (plural because there are more than one), improved security, and no redirection.

LASER HEADLIGHTS! OMGWTFBBQ!

I'm gonna need some new car insurance to combat pedestrians suing me for cutting them in half. Hey, but maybe now they will gtfo of the road...

And... Lucas Fails AGAIN!

I am so mad I could smack a baby! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 

NSFW- Let Our Powers Combine!

This I used to watch this epic adventure as a cartoon when I was a kid. I do believe that the guys over at Funny or Die have made it better. I mean really, what would happen if Captain Planet became "over it." More plus a (kinda nsfw, due to cussing) video after the jump.

A Letter to the Aliens!

I find this video 100% awesome! I love how Hank dumb's down the key parts of life. And now, that I think about this, this should be removed from the internet, RIGHT NOW! As soon as we are invaded all they will have to do is watch this video and know how to take us over!

Sci-fi in RL: Live Heart in a Box Makes for More Successful Transplants

Geeks are Sexy posted an article today about a new ground-breaking method of organ transplantation-- keeping the organ (such as a heart) functioning while in transport. Compared to the method of packing the organ in ice in coolers during transit, this will allow for better matching of organs to patients, and therefore less chance rejection.

TODAY: DC Relaunch

Well, if Lumberjack Films say it's going to be okay, then it must be! Then again, that's what people have been saying about Anne Hathaway playing Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, but I still have my doubts. She may look smokin' hot in that one picture, but it's going to take more than a mouthful of drool to win me over. As for this video, they lost my faith when they said Aquaman was going to be cool. Seriously?
