Feed the series - Online show you might want to see

Feed is an online show that's been around for a few months now. It's by a lady named Mel Robertson and features the story of what happens when you see / film something you shouldn't and the fall out from the event.

You can check out all the episodes over at the official Feed series website. As far as lesbian geek goes, the lead character is a camera lovin geek grrl. As well as that it will feature Loving Annabelle's Erin Kelly and also lesbian "icon" Guinevere Turner.

Amazon Windowshop beta looks cool

If you like shopping at Amazon but find their page a little less than aesthetically pleasing you might want to take a look at the new Amazon Windowshop beta. We've been messing around with it for a bit and think it looks like a way better way to peruse what you're after.

Not sure how this will work if you want to use specific search tags for more refined searches, but we're sure that will be covered no doubt. This seems to be the way of the future, give it another 5 years and we'll be netsurfing through 3D store shelves.

Resuming regular broadcasting

Sometimes internet connections screw up your week, sometimes life just gets in the way. sometimes it's a mixture of both.

This is just a shout out to our regulars with apologies for slow updates so far this week. We'll be playing catchup today and posting some news you might have missed or items of interest to gay geeks and nerdy girls.

Gaming vest by TN Games feel the gunfire

This should probably be a crossover post with sister site Lesbian Gamers shouldn't it, but we thought this was so nerdy we had to keep it for ourselves. You see, what we have here is the "Gaming Vest" by TN Games. You strap this baby on and you can "feel the game's action for the ultimate gaming experience. It contains eight active zones that simulate the direction and forces of bullet fire, crushing explosions, and fear-inducing finger taps as they occur in the game."

Oh but wait, there's more! As well as the Game Vest, TN Games is working on the "HTX Helmet", what is that I hear you squeal? Well it's a helmet that "delivers blows to the head when you are fired upon." and enables you to "Feel bullets whizzing by your helmet or the impact of getting shot in the head."

Of course there's more after the jump, especially for girl gamers... if you dare...

Weird loft apartment keeps you young

Looking for somewhere interesting to live? Somewhere that will keep you on your toes, exercise your mind and body? Well the Reversible Destiny Lofts in the Mitaka area of western Tokyo might be the apartments for you! The Reversible Destiny Lofts are designed to stimulate the senses and force inhabitants to use balance, physical strength and imagination. Keeps you on your toes with uneven floors, oddly positioned plug sockets, uneven and curved walls and surfaces, not to mention it's all done in insanely bright clashing colors. Apparently living in them will keep you young and healthy, with a mind as sharp as a tack because you're always having to think.

Sounds like a living nightmare and the rent is extortionate, still if you want to see them in action...

Bumper stickers and politics

We're all about the lesbian geek here unsurprisingly and we wouldn't consider ourselves 'political' really unless it involves say.. president Roslin or the Quorum, but sometimes you've just gotta get your politics out there and this burned me up so much I though frak it, bumper stickers are geeky... kinda. Anyways this story comes from a few mere miles away from Lesbian Geek HQ.

What you're seeing in the image is a bumper sticker on a car driven by 'gun lobbyist' Ron Owen, he's the  publisher of the ultra-right-wing pro-militia magazine 'Lock Stock & Barrel' and former local councilor (local politician type). Apparently his bumper sticker upset some local lezzies who saw the car parked outside a local Shire Council office. Owen was taken to task over the incident, but it just truly sickened me when I thought someone would even think of having a sticker like that made up... what are some people like eh.

GenPets bioengineered buddy

Ahh yes, back with more geekiness. This week we've got artificial pets. Yes lezzies love their pets, so we saw this and thought, yes, great geek post! GenPets is "the Only Bioengineered Buddy. Available in 7 different personality types". And they come in two different lifespan models "The GenPets™ come in 2 base configurations, a 1-year model, and 3-year model."

How simple, rock up, pick a packet, take it home and you'll know exactly when it's going to die (speeding cars aside). Of course GenPets aren't real pets, it's an art installation and future warning, but we thought it was cool and the official Genpets website is so detailed, it's well worth a look.

Selk Bag by Lippi - It's got feet!

A sleeping bag with feet in it! Not sure why, but thought this was all manner of things when spotted: clever, cute, stupid, weird, funny... you name it! Still it's definitely worthy of a geek post even if it's not conducive to romance.

The "Selk´Bag" by Lippi "has been developed to be used in places such as campings or outdoors in places like beaches, forests, lakes, cabins, half mountain"... wait.. beach? Now that is something to think about, a nice beach on lesbos, filled with lady loving ladies, all in their own Selk Bag. Tell me you didn't just smile.

Animal Crossing Galactica - BSG meets ACWW

The cat is out of the bag, or rather Starbuck is bringing it in! Yes it's Battlestar Galactica in Animal Crossing and we've gone all out this time with not only stills, but also mini clips of your favorite BSG characters in Animal Crossing Wild World on the Nintendo DS.

If you wondered what this post was about, wonder no more! After the success of Animal Crossing Wilder Worlds we're back with a geek gaming mix to melt hearts and minds. It's Animal Crossing Galactica.

When Worlds Collide.... They're coming

Don't you hate teasers? When they tease you, but they don't tell you what the hell they're actually about? Is it a direct hint, is it nothing to do with the image and something else entirely. Is it a case of building hype... you bet your sweet cheeks it is.
