Bands that Geeks Love
I’ve been thinking about this list a lot and it always sort of gets put aside as Bands I Like. And today the list popped up again after I finally was able to get my hands on the new The Limousines single: Internet Killed the Video Star (iTunes Link). I keep this running playlist called Geek Chic going in iTunes on the MacBook Pro, one of the only playlists that isn’t a Smart Playlist. It is strongly influenced by the fact that I am still a Montreal Rocker, yet it’s also very very geeky. Loads of songs have technological links or the band themselves are just plain geeks.
So here is this week’s playlist. If you think I’m obviously missing out on some super geeky band like say: They Must be Giants. Comment below, reblog your own list or @reply me on Twitter @JohnnyCanuck

I know it’s a little early for Habs tweets but sounds to me like the Habs just signed up for the another 5 year plan. Damn

The Flowlab Skateboard allows you to surf without waves and ride without snow. Years of experimentation resulted in the geometry that allows a device with no moving parts to simulate the fluid motion of snowboarding or surfing on land. The arced axles let you carve to 45 degree angles with no resistance and fluid transitions edge-to-edge.”
Being a long time Beach Lifeguard and snowboarder, the carving aspect of skateboarding always appealed to me more than tricks and pipes. This board looks killer… Now they just need to make a nice 4 foot longboard so it doesn’t look like I’m shredding on a toothpick.

Neat idea. It’s about time computer professionals demand people stop constantly (mis)using words like, “lockdown” and “pickup” as verbs.
Me? My pet peeve is, “pedantic.” I hate when people use that wrong.
As in, “Please permit me a few moments to pedantic your harmlessly…
Insane 100KM/h longboard session in New Zealand. This video is so crazy, but even more insane is that 1:15 into it the guy filming, who’s wearing motorcylce leathers passes one of hi buddies who is bare foot…
