While working for my current employer I had the opportunity to use my 20th level geek skills to produce an extremely high density mobile computing platform in a scooter for a promotional campaign we created for a client. The end result was a rolling system capable of long distance war driving, GPS navigation, Skype calls on the road, an internet hot spot, a low power pir8 radio station, as well as recording your favorite TV program so you don’t miss Lost because you are lost. If that’s not over the top enough you can actually drive your scooter to say the Grand Canyon, plug in your electric guitar and perform live over the web at a whim!

It is quite an experience to be cruising in your J33p (that's Jeep in L33t for the uninitiated out there) with the windows down (car windows not the OS) knowing two things with absolute confidence. First, you have a car that James Bond would be envious of, ok well maybe not James Bond but Frank Drebin from Naked Gun for sure. Second, the song that you happen to be blasting (White and Nerdy by Weird All) let's all the homeys know that you are truly l33t.

I have wanted to do some extreme cooling projects for a while now. We have been swamped by a few huge new projects that we are extremely excited for. But I thought this would be a good time for a project of a smaller scale. After surfing the internet finding parts, experiencing the difficulties of getting a keg in Utah, and sweet talking some ebayers I was able to get the parts I needed for a quick build. If you’re experienced with system building or water cooling this will be old hat. If you’re experienced with kegerators and not necessarily computers… Get someone to help you.

I was digging some boxes out of my closet the other night when I found a long closed chapter to my life neatly tucked away. I am half shamed to say that, Yes, the inventgeek had a midevil phase... I realized that this stuff still might appeal to some people so I decided to throw up a website for rengeek type gear. Feel free to check it out its chuck full of patterns and fun for armor and more.

So there is no hiding the fact that I have been interested in ultraviolet light lately. I also have a few dead LCD monitors laying around I have been experimenting with. It was only natural that I would combine the two to help show off my fluorescing rock collection. This is a really easy build and cheap as well if you have a dead monitor laying around. The best part is the older the monitor the worse the viewing angle, and that works out real well for us making the light highly directional.
