Dear Internet: Stop it.
Written on September 9, 2014

I’m really starting to despise the internet. From complete refusal to see any other sides to misguided attempts to “educate” friends on topics they could not possibly know about (newsflash: They probably do. You look like a dick.), Facebook and comment blogs have become almost impossible for me to watch. It used

You all (hopefully) saw Claire’s post on Thursday about disconnecting. And when you saw that, you probably thought of all the places Pure Geekery is on the web. One of our readers even made us a “clog all the pipes” meme. Well that’s mostly me. I am a big social networking fan.
Claire’s Top 5 Things on the Internet
I’m loving this 90 degree weather. Even though I grew up in the midwest, I’m a warm weather gal. Give me the Cali sun year round and I’d be happy. Windows open, Burn Notice reruns, and I have all I need to spend a day making paper orchids for wedding decor. After

We’ve been over my klutzy tendencies again and again. So when I switched back to Android with the Samsung Galaxy S4, I knew I needed to make sure I had a good case. So I went with the g0-to for solidly built cases, Otterbox. But I’m also incredibly girly and didn’t want to

I’m leaving for vacation this week! Yay! Inevitably, I’ve left all my family’s packing until the last minute, so that means it’s AWESOME INTERNET VIDEO WEEK. That’s right, this week my posts will be your one stop shop for entertainment and office procrastination. Let the games begin. 5. Chilean artist Ivan Navarro
What Netflix Paying Comcast Means
Written on February 25, 2014

Yesterday something terrifying came to my attention. Netflix has agreed to pay Comcast to give their customers better streaming service. And I can hear some of you cheering right now. “This is great, my Netflix quality has been crap lately!” It’s not great. This is the beginning of consequences from legislation being passed

It’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday, so I thought we all could use a bit of awesome to get us to the weekend. (Or to spring if you’re currently living in winter hell.) 1. Doctors in Germany saved man’s life because of an episode of House, M.D. Who says
