Ok, so it is about 2 hours or so until all those within the range of the RDF begin refreshing sites that liveblog Teh Steve during his keynote at WWDC.    Let’s hope the intartubes can hold up.
Of course, headlining the keynote is expected to be some talk of the iPhone with its release date just [...]

Nerdy humor for the neurobiologist in everyone?

Drew Bledsoe decides to hang up the jockstrap.
I can’t help but feel that he won’t quite be remembered by all for being the talented quartberback that he was.  In New England, and perhaps in Buffalo and Dallas, we knew him as a QB that was accurate, tough (possibly one of the toughest to play the [...]

So, Tim O’Reilly posted his version of a Code of Conduct for Bloggers to adhere to. He admits it is merely a starting point for discussion, and nothing has been templated in stone. As such, I figured I would take the baton and run with it. I will try to take [...]

No, not Tina (although, she is pretty damn cute), but that black box on the table next to her.  Tina Wood gets the lowdown on the Xbox 360 Elite and shares it via a video inerview with Albert Penello.
View the Elite in all its glory.
By the way, anyone want to buy a Premium system used [...]

I couldn’t figure out how to emote hate. Should it be !<3, or maybe <>3… dunno.
Anyway, there has been some discussion as to what type of speech is allowed on this site. In my opinion, which is not the only opinion that matters, as a reader and commenter you can say what you [...]

Looks like Microsoft has wisened up, listened to the masses, and lifted the NDA on the Shadowrun Beta.  I definitely have some motivation to play it some more and share my thoughts.
Been enjoying the Shadowrun beta? Great. Now share the news! We’re lifting the NDA on coverage for and around the beta as of today. [...]

So, looks like the Shadowrun Beta has expanded its size, recently sending out redemption codes to thousands of gamers.
I gots myself a code and have downloaded the Beta.  I will give it a whirl soon enough, although they are pretty strict about what you can and cannot say about the Beta.
When [...]

Happy Pi Day!

Dice-K finally takes the mound in a BoSox uniform. Sure, its only against Boston College. Sure, its only the pre-season. But, many of us have been waiting to see what this kid from Japan can do for a while.
Oh ya, Manny will be making his Spring training debut today against the Blue [...]

Pandemonium Books has been a haven for science fiction fans, fantasy fans, role-playing gamers, and the like since 1989. Originally, calling Harvard Square home, and recenlty relocating — not too far away — to Central Square (Cambridge), Pandemonium has remained and survived despite many independent booksellers closing up shop because of competition from corporate [...]

I know at least one BostonGeek contributor that can appreciate a pitcher that enjoys his beer.

…and review Steven Seagal’s Lightning Bolt energy drink.
I shit you not.
I might just have to go buy some.

Ok, does anyone else think that Boston just looks wicked retahhhdid in every news report surrounding the Aqua Teen Hunger Force guerilla ad-campaign gone awry? Now they have made an arrest and charged a guy with placing a hoax device? Are they serious? Ok, charge him with something, and let’s hit up Turner [...]

Aww nuts. Received this message when I logged into Flickr yesterday:
Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member,
On March 15th we’ll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr.
We’re making this change now to simplify the sign in [...]

I am sure the masses are wondering where this week’s podcast is? Well, I can tell you where it isn’t… uploaded and enclosed in an RSS feed. The truth is, my hatchling of a cold grew up to be the bird flu, or at least thats what it felt like to me. [...]

Another year in the can for the BostonGeek podcast. On this final episode of 2006, we take a look at Apple’s iPhone, the extinction of the Chinese River Dolphin, and Nintendo Wii strap replacement. Greg Howley challenges us with another episode of the Game Geek Challenge. Finally, Dice-K and First Night Boston [...]

… before you get yourself hurt.  Nintendo is finally caving and issuing a recall for the lightweight strap that acted as the last line of defense between the game controller and your expensive flat-screen television.

Stupid, crappy Xbox Live. Sony’s Online service can’t suck as much.  Why couldn’t I download Lumines Live yesterday? Why were you down, when you said you would be back up and running? I hate you Xbox Live.
I’m just kidding. Come back.  I didn’t meant it.  You are still the best online service. I swear, I [...]

But, since we are at a milestone episode, it would be nice to receive some votes for our wee little podcast.
