Boing-Boing! limited edition hoodie

designed by GAMA

Found this limited edition Boing Boing hoodie at GAMA-GO! It’s gorgeous and costs $120 Dollars. They also ship internationally for an extra 25 bucks. It’s pricey, but thats how designer Emily Glaubinger makes her living. This piece of art was a originally a sketch by a Boing-Boing pal Tim Biskup and it was brought to us to wear by Emily Glaubinger! Thank you Emily!

Adopting Gabby

Gabby

A few weeks ago we went over to pick up Gabby from Farragoes and Princesita. It was great meeting them, they are a wonderful couple. Gabby, the cat, is so cute and adorable! It was late and my brothers stayed up waiting at home to greet our new pet! It’s been a while since we last had a cat, so everyone was so excited.

When I told my youngest brother that the cat’s name is Gabby, he immediately asked me: “From what movie?”. So when I explained that pets are not always named after characters in movies, he just decided to call her “Duma” from a movie of the same title. He says Gabby looks like Duma, so that’s that.

Tech Drive in Kuwait

Computer Donations

A good friend of mine is collecting some used but in still in good condition desktop computers, laptops and mobile phones to give away to hardworking students in Kuwait that can’t really afford them.

Now, since we buy these products every once in a while, we tend to have outdated computers & gadgets that for some people, are not-so-outdated. So, lets help out and support these students!

If you have anything you can give, please send an email to: techdrive08(at)yahoo[dot]com

The IT Room

The IT Room

I’ve been a fan of the first season of The IT Crowd which is a hilarious British sitcom about two IT guys, Moss and Roy, who work in the basement of a huge company. Their manager, Jen, is a woman who is clueless about computers but has plans to improve their social lives. I was very much disappointed and did not like the second season of IT Crowd - but I do recommend watching the first season.

Now there’s this new show, “The IT Room”, which is rumored to be based on the UK’s version of “The Office”. This show will “air” on the Internet on November 11, and you can subscribe now to get the episodes via iTunes. The trailers look promising, so I hope it will be a fun show for the geeks!

Official Site: theitroom.com

UPDATE - November 12, 2007: I just saw the first “webisode” and it was alright, pretty short and the story wasn’t so great. What’s nice about this show is that they have the proper tools and staff to make really good shows, but they don’t really have the stories.. Hmm, writers’ strike? Anyway, if you have a good IT story, send it over to them and even though you won’t get any money for it, it would be really cool to get your webisode! You can check their blog for funny stories written by some geeky subscribers.
