For a prime-time TV show that wasn’t on Sci-Fi (SyFy), LOST was pretty geeky and brainy. It also had lots (and I do mean a ton) of unanswered questions leading into the finale. So much so that there were easily a few dozen articles with lists of questions that begged for answers. Some were answered last night, but probably not enough.
So what do you think? Was the finale satisfying?
You can now hire Spiderman to wash your windows!
Spider Style has a dedicated team of superheros ready at a moments notice to inspect, fix and clean skyscapers wearing Spiderman outfits. Unfortunately this specialty cleaning service has setup shop only in France, Qatar and now the UAE.
“We believe in finding the passion and fun in everything we do. If we can have Spiderman clean our exterior, then why not? It puts a smile on people’s faces,” commented Mövenpick General Manager, Peter O’Connor. Two thumbs up for making window washing unique and interesting!
By the way, the upside-down kiss from Spiderman is an upcharge…
The Geeks would like to give you a friendly reminder that Father’s Day is only a month away!
Amazon has some specific gift stores setup for the occasion including a Gladiator GarageWorks storefront, a Deals and Bargains storefront and my favorite, a Tools and Home Improvements Gift Store.
This alarm clock marries two of my favorite items together including Star Wars and LEGOs. The clock’s exterior is built from LEGO pieces while the clock features Japanese Quartz movement for the actual timepiece. The LEGO Star Wars Alarm Clock includes a buildable Blaster Turret and 2 minifigs (a Stormtrooper and Chewbacca).
In addition to the geekiness of combining Star Wars and LEGOs, the alarm can actually wake up the sleepy geeks too with a crescendo alarm which gets louder until acknowledged.

Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam! If you speak Klingon, you know what I’m saying right?
You can get your drink on using this Bird of Prey shaped corkscrew. I can’t think of a better way to down some Bloodwine or Chech’tluth and this corkscrew will be the envy of all your other Trekkie Geek friends, granted… if you are a die hard Trekkie, you probably only have one or two friends but you will make them jealous. At less than $20 credits, you don’t have to be a Captain either. You can even afford this on an Ensign salary.

There’s nothing worse than a gadget with no power. Really, it’s a sad thing that provides Geeks like us an endless amount of content for our dreams. I shutter to think of a time where I forget to charge my iPad overnight for example… the limp and lifeless body of the iPad just laying in my arms with no chance of providing access to my books, photos, videos, magazines, productivity tools or even access to ABC reruns or any of my favorite apps. This is a dark and cold place that I don’t want to think about and as luck would have it, there are products like the Power Bullet Charger!
The unique aspect of this charger over other chargers is that you can use a standard outlet or car charger to charge 2 USB devices. Thinkgeek has these black beauties for under $15 so it’s within all Geek’s budgets!

Remember the Emotiv EPOC neuro-headset we featured last year? Well, a group of MIT brainiacs (pun intended) have developed a method to use the EPOC to control an iPhone.
Dubbed the ‘neurophone’, it lets you ‘think’ of a contact and then dial, all without touching the screen or pressing any buttons. Incidentally, the emotiv EPOC is a real headset that you can buy right now for $299. …

Behind on planning for Mother’s Day? Can’t think of the perfect gift. Well your mom raised you, so she’s pretty smart. Let her decide for herself – get her an Amazon.com gift card.

Just in case you haven’t seen Jon Stewart’s take on Apple’s, let’s say, lack of judgement, then you should take 5 minutes to watch this. It really sums up very well how as companies become larger and more successful, even popular, that they seem to start ‘losing their marbles’. They seem to forget what it was like when they were starting up and competing against the unforgiving giants. Instead, they become them. The group-think becomes stronger and then they make decisions out of misplaced fear. *end soapbox rant*!
