GeekAlerts -- Geeky Gifts and Promotional Discount Codes!

Of course, the best part of Blogographer is the geekery -- ya know, being all about memes and gadgets. I, for one, can't take a step in my home without running into something geeky. Considering I cater to a readerbase a lot like myself, I also assume that is what many of you are like. So, if you are like me on money, too, you feel as if all of this geekery is practically bankrupting you.

What can you do about it? There are thousands, if not millions of sites claiming to have "good deals" and "awesome products." When, in fact, their merchandise is at least three steps removed from geek. "An arrow to the knee" is just not that funny, and by the Nine, it should not be on a shirt.

So, let me introduce the featured site today: GeekAlerts. If you want to give geeky gifts, gadget news, or discount coupons and promotional codes for some of the most awesome online stores and services, I can promise you there are few better places to go. I mean, just check out this wicked awesome doodad I discovered on their site, called the Mosser Decorative Terrarium:

My science senses are tingling.

Apparently, that sweet piece of plant is in so much demand, that the people who HAND-CRAFTED them (yes, hand-crafted -- like a boss) have to go back and make more. So I am sure you're thinking, "Well, if it is hand-crafted and awesome, it must cost a fortune," but you should stop flappin' your lips, because it's only $26. Twenty-six. That's also my magic number, which means guess who is going to freshen up their desk?

Everybody who has read my blog knows that I am no serious fan of the "random" blog genre. I think it's honestly more than overdone; I believe the internet is inundated and saturated with random blogs. This is why it is so relieving to find random blogs that are actually good. They usually still have structure, and are less like diaries and journals as they are like blogs centered around the interests of the writer.

Such a rare blog is Eye of the Beholder, a blog penned by the very well-written Patres, a man of distinctive knowledgeable taste. Eye of the Beholder is for whatever Patres wishes to write about, though the articles have a general, background flow to them.

Here's an excerpt from EotB's "Keep your helmets on! 2005 YU55 near pass:"

watocw

An interesting little blog I happened to find on the Bloggeries site is watocw, a blog self-described as such:

"We are an organization called WATOCW, and we are two guys who like technology and mischief (mostly the technology part, but we know how to blow off some steam from time to time). Our goal in making this site is to hopefully spread some information that you all will enjoy, and to basically create a central hub for all people to use. This site is for your avid computer users, programmers, and anyone interested in the field of technology."

Did someone say technology? :D

The topics covered on watocw aren't your average tech posts, usually. Sure, there's a bit of the iPhone here, and some LulzSec there, but overall there are some really interesting posts on such topics as BitCoin theft and the amount of information currently on and projected to be on the internet. It's actually quite interesting if you take the time to fully understand the implications.

The blog is very well set-up, in addition to content. The name of the blog is a bacronym for "We are the organization called WATOCW," thought up by the co-authors Clocwork and Shadowdrifter.
