Spark: The Musical Instrument That Generates Energy

For those who live off-grid, especially in Second and Third World countries, finding ways to bring affordable (and, ideally, clean) energy to their homes is a unique challenge. We’ve developed technology that can convert sun rays and wind into energy, but at a price. One that the world’s poor or struggling populations can’t afford. How…

Featured Kickstarter: Con*Quest Adventure Journal- Get Your Con On!

Here at Geek Insider, we LOVE a good Kickstarter. There’s nothing like the feeling that comes with discovering a completely unique product, supporting its production, and ultimately being one of the first people on the planet to own one. Recently, I reviewed the Con*Quest Adventure Journal (a beautifully hand-crafted journal that serves as a place…

SGDQ: Kicking Off Summer

Summer is coming. It doesn’t really have the same dramatic effect, does it? Oh, well. Although, technically speaking, summer is already here. The sun is hot, the sand is warm, the scent of barbeque drifts through the air, and nature is calling for us to journey outside. It’s a beautiful time. To play video games….

Take Your Caffeine Addiction to the Next Level with K-Pod Coffee

Bear with me, coffee aficionados, as I find myself in uncharted territory with this one, swimming through dark and somewhat milky waters. Here’s my admission of guilt: I don’t drink coffee, or tea, or even alcohol of any kind. I am the world’s least interesting man. But don’t think for a second that I don’t…

Aderyn’s Cradle Set to Bring Visceral Combat to a Dense Fantasy Realm

By way of introduction to Aderyn’s Cradle, an adventure game in development by Mojo Game Studios, I’d like to talk a little about a couple of other games, one you may have missed and one you’ll definitely recognize.

Bleep bleeps: bringing functional whimsy to parenting assistance

Bleep Bleeps: Bringing Functional Whimsy to Parenting Assistance

I think we can all agree that parenting is difficult at the best of times. Babies are pretty much miniature inconvenience machines, wielding powerful fluid-generating security systems with exceptionally skittish alarms. That’s why it’s always been important to get as much help as possible to keep stressed parents sane and babies’ soft fontanels intact. Offering…

Universal control: run your electronics from anywhere with my n3rd

Universal Control: Run Your Electronics from Anywhere with My N3RD

I saw the Adam Sandler movie ‘Click’ once. I can’t really remember why, and in hindsight it was not a justifiable move. Even so, I’d like to have a magical remote control, especially since I’d use it for much more interesting things than getting into weakly amusing escapades and causing arguments with Kate Beckinsale. Handily,…
