The hype was slowly building and it has been ramping up for several weeks now. But the wait is finally over, as I entered Earl’s Court to discover what new device Samsung was unveiling to the world. Samsung have done well to be very tightly lipped about what new device they have been working on, [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/hands-on-with-samsung-galaxy-s3/feed 3 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-event-a-model-of-yours-truly-by-nvidia http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-event-a-model-of-yours-truly-by-nvidia#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:09:15 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20320
If you remember, I attended the launch party of the Alienware X51 gaming PC. In between getting abused at the Street Fighter tournament and playing on shiny new boxes, I took a break to have my face scanned by NVIDIA. A 3D wireframe was generated based on this facial scan to construct models, using 3D [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-event-a-model-of-yours-truly-by-nvidia/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/lg-future-tv-event-a-unified-approach http://girlygeekdom.com/events/lg-future-tv-event-a-unified-approach#comments Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:22:48 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20254
I felt the stars were aligning when I discovered that my TV had a dead pixel. This is most unacceptable and of course it means I must now buy a new TV which was my plan all along.

Alienware have been busy and Girlygeekdom had the privilege of being invited to the European launch of their new magical box, the X51. Upon first look, it reminds me of the XBox 360 S console with the almost monolithic yet sleek lines. However, this does not mean the insides are meager. On the contrary, it [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/alienware-european-launch-x51/feed 1 http://girlygeekdom.com/set/technology/the-diary-of-a-female-i-t-consultant http://girlygeekdom.com/set/technology/the-diary-of-a-female-i-t-consultant#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:00:42 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20072
I’ve not been in this consultancy business for long, but I have been a technical architect for some time. The difference with consultancy is that it seems even more cut throat in a highly competitive environment. Why? Because there are even more egos floating around that is desperate for attention. Before I begin, being a [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/set/technology/the-diary-of-a-female-i-t-consultant/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gadgets-entertainment/last-minute-christmas-gifts http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gadgets-entertainment/last-minute-christmas-gifts#comments Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:00:13 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20017

Well fear not, as I have compiled a list of gadgety ideas for that last minute shopping spree. Western Digital Live  - Streaming Media Player.

First of all, I’m not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate a fine camera when I see one. I used to have a Sony DSC-R1 for many years; in fact at every event or spectacle it rarely left my side. I felt that it was lacking somewhat in [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gadgets-entertainment/christmas-ideas-canon-7d-dslr-camera/feed 2 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/comics-entertainment/comic-figures-pest-control http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/comics-entertainment/comic-figures-pest-control#comments Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:00:40 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=19942

I had the pleasure of trying out the Neato XV-15, a helping hand to the busy modern lifestyle. I’ve always wanted a robotic vacuum cleaner, but I had reservations on whether such a device so small can carry out the functions of my Dyson. Suffice it to say, I was quite surprised and rather amused.
