Last month we had a competition to win tickets to go to The Lego Show up in Manchester.  The show happened over the bank holiday weekend and one lucky family got to go thanks to Lottie who won the family ticket!  When we sent them the tickets we set them an optional challenge to review [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/the-lego-show-reviewed-by-our-competition-winners-warning-very-cute/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/hands-on-with-samsung-galaxy-s3 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/hands-on-with-samsung-galaxy-s3#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 13:07:55 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20438
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/education/educators-google-want-to-hangout-with-you http://girlygeekdom.com/education/educators-google-want-to-hangout-with-you#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 19:44:51 +0000 Sarah Lamb http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20407

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/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

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/events/event-community-discount-on-mozilla-festival-tickets http://girlygeekdom.com/events/event-community-discount-on-mozilla-festival-tickets#comments Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:07:57 +0000 Sarah Lamb http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=19926
