Yes, it’s that chick from The Wonder Years. Danica McKellar, best known for her leading role as Gwendolyn “Winnie” Cooper on the American television comedy-drama that broadcasted for six seasons on ABC, is the currently the host on Nerdist’s new channel show, Math Bites. When I first heard the news, it brought back many awkward memories. At…
If you’re anything like me, you often find yourself seated in front of your television, craving a tasty snack following a long day of phone calls and paperwork. Watching most anything on your screen of choice when famished can lead to a desire for even the strangest of cuisines; spend an hour with Bizarre Foods…
Another gift-giving holiday approaches! For the geeks out there, finding that perfect present can be a torturous endeavor, often ending in failure. I find loads of awesome things I know my friends would love, but they are just way too pricey for my shallow pockets. In my searches, I have stumbled across a good collection…
Do you remember in high school, all the extracurriculars we had to put ourselves through just so colleges would pretend to notice us? Remember those few after-school activities everyone fought to be part of? Those were the really fun ones that got you out of school for a day (or even a whole week) and…

As is inevitably the case…

Pucker up, San Francisco. This holiday season, George Zisiadis and Mustafa Khan thought they’d spread a little Christmas cheer to couples in San Francisco Union Square. How? A mistletoe and tinsel decorated drone. Romantic Drones? “Drones have been causing all sorts of paranoia lately and I wanted to reframe them from being something scary and…
Geeks, and I can proudly admit to being one of them, are traditionally agoraphobic, and therefore avoid wildly social settings. We also are kind of loners, and maybe even a little self-conscious when it comes to our bodies. That being said, we sometimes still like to be healthy and fit, and with New Year’s Resolutions…
Uhm…what? New York Times Short Shows Versatility Of Ants The New York Times has produced an awesome short about ants, more specifically, the ability of a large amount to both flow like a liquid and become a solid ball. It’s pretty disgusting but also amazing! Check out the GIF demonstrating their abilities above. On the…
Alright, all of you puzzle-Nazis, get a load of this… Not Just An Average Rubik’s Cube We’ve all had a regular, run of the mill Rubik’s cube, and yet only a handful of us have a good enough understanding of the algorithm method to actually solve it. But what about THIS monstrosity? It’s available on…
Built from 500,000 bricks, a LEGO car with, get this, a working LEGO engine has surfaced in Australia.
