Etsy Find of the Day: Chic Geek Wall Art

I adore this. I wish I had a weathered brick wall in my house to hang it on. It’s just so…unapologetic. I mean, why beat around the bush, huh? Proclaim your geekery and show a flair for creative interior design at the same time? Heck yes. And no, my love for it is not because [...]

Pinup Princess Peach. You’re Welcome.

Frankly, Princess Peach has always been a little too froofy for my taste. I’m not a fan of big pink ruffly dresses (except when we’re talking about Kaylee, because I’d love her in just about anything), and she’s always struck me as way too much of a goody-goody to have any real fun. But this certainly [...]

Watch the Lost epilogue here, while you still can!

That’s right. The full epilogue that we were told would be included on the show’s DVD and Blu-ray collection has made its way online. Yep, 11 minutes and 29 seconds of all new Lost content.

Etsy Find of the Day: Jayne Cobb Christmas Stocking

Listen, I know what you’re going to say. But honestly, I don’t care. There is no such thing as too obsessed with Firefly in my house. So what does Jayne Cobb’s hat have to do with Christmas stockings? Not a damn thing, which is why this is so awesome. Yes, I realize that there’s a [...]

Etsy Find of the Day: Geeky Badge Holders

When I’m not toiling away to bring you the coolest geeky links and news here at GFBR, I’m dwelling in the land of cubicles like many of you. Which means, also like many of you, my daily work outfit includes a security badge. I suppose just having a security badge at all is a little [...]

Etsy Find of the Day: Double Rainbow Pillow (What Does It Mean?!?!)

While this might not be the the most polished or well-made Etsy find you’ve ever seen, you really can’t deny that it’s just so…topical. And hysterical. And really, quite charming the more I look at it. The listing says that there has been a good amount of demand for these, which isn’t that surprising. It’s a [...]

Is this Thor trailer changing expectations?

So here it is. The Thor trailer that the entire nerd-o-sphere is talking about today. Lots of folks seem to be saying that they thought the movie was going to suck but that this trailer has them rethinking things.  Or maybe the more accurate thing to say is that they were afraid it was going [...]
