Land of the Free by Steven Schofield:

Steven Schofield takes photos of british sci-fi fans, dressed in character in their homes. He treats it as 'found' photography, which seems to illustrate the subjects vulnerability. The title of the work is Land of the Free - and illustrates how American culture infiltrates, with the ironic edge of questioning the idea of the freedom of choosing to copy the look of these fictional characters.  [via MeFi]

MIT pranksters placed a 20-sided die on campus in memory of Dungeons and Dragons inventor, Gary Gygax.  Link.

Here is a fun photoset of a poster of 56 geeks drawn by Scott Johnson. 

Which geek are you?

You wouldn't catch me wearing this Wi-Fi Detector Shirt, but it definitely is a very cool t-shirt gadget.  

Forget about cracking open your laptop to find a signal -- the shirt detects wi-fi internet access within your range and displays the strength of the signal right on your chest.  [via BoingBoing]

Here are some pieces of clothing that will give you some privacy when using your mobile, PSP or computer.

Watch as these geeks make instant coffee using lasers.  If you don't have laser beams available to you, I'm pretty sure a microwave, tea kettle or coffee maker will do the same trick.

Check out this very cool TARDIS MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) Console.  It not only plays every arcade game imagineable, but is also retro cool.  I want one.  [via MeFi]

This Rechargeable USB Shaver is for those geeks on the go that have no time to shave in the morning.  It's a wireless shaver that recharges via the built-in USB connection.

Chat with Robot PaPeRo throughout the day and it will assist you in creating your daily blog:

NEC Corporation announced development of a new system for automatically creating multi-media blogs. The new system has been developed on NEC's prototype robot PaPeRo, and is initialized when a user begins a conversation with PaPeRo about the events of their day, which the system then records and analyzes. Following this, PaPeRo searches for suitable multi-media contents on the internet, including images, illustrations and music, which are automatically uploaded and edited along with the video recording on the user's blog. This new system facilitates ease of multi-media-rich blog creation.The novel system has been realized by integrating (1) large-vocabulary, continuous speech recognition technology, which converts the speech content of the video message into text and extracts important keywords, and (2) natural language, text retrieval technology, which enables searching of contents on the internet.

Don't have access to a fax machine or a scanner and you need to send an important document ASAP?  Or do you want to keep the notes you wrote on the whiteboard during your last work meeting?  scanR is your solution.  Jason writes:

scanR is a free service that transforms phonecam photos of documents, business cards, or whiteboards into cleaned-up PDFs that it will then fax or email on your behalf.

Documents are placed through an OCR process, so the text is selectable and searchable (though I'd probably rather have my documents converted to plain text or html). For whiteboards, you don't even need to take the shot head on. The software will take cues from the whiteboard's edge to transform the image into proper alignment.
