Geek Beat By Cali Lewis

One of my favorite Internet celebs has a new show on Revision 3. Cali Lewis of geekbrief fame is now on the Revision 3 network with a new video show called GeekBeat.TV, you'll get the same Cali and plenty of product reviews ala Geek Brief. I'm embedding the show here using the sites self updating embed code, so you can simply bookmark this post if you choose. Check it out here or on Rev3 @ http://revision3.com/greekbeattv

Blogger celebrates 8th birthday with new video upload feature

Thursday marked the 8th birthday of Blogger, the platform that I am using here at Great Big Geek. To celebrate the event, or perhaps coincidentally, Blogger announced on Friday a new video upload feature that will allow bloggers to upload and store video podcasts or skateboarding dog videos. This is great news to me as I've been contemplating following the likes of Morgan Webb and Cali Lewis by publishing a brief video version of Great Big Geek. Don't' get too excited though, it will be a little while coming and I'm probably about as easy to look at as the Cranky Geeks (sorry guys but we can't compete on looks with the likes of Morgan or Cali, we'll just have to rely on content).

Botjunkie for all your robot news

If you've been following this blog, you will no doubt be aware of my infatuation with all things robotic. I now have a new site to feed my addiction, BotJunkie is a blog about robots brought to you by the same folks that produce the ohgizmo gadget blog. I think my favorite is the "Flame Throwing Jumping Spider Robot of Doom" but the theoretical forest fire fighting robot beetles are cool too... hmm wonder who would win in a fight?

Thanks to Cali Lewis at Geekbrief for this link.
