Culture Buzz Tired of explaining what toasters and Browncoats are to the non-geeks in your family? Give them this handy guide for the holidays.
Looks just like mine, except I need to substitute “Comic Books” with “Video Games”. Plus the “Social Skills” region is WAY too big. (Via)
Internet pirates, that is! The French parliament is voting on some law about cutting off internet access for people who download stuff on peer-to-peer networks, and this picture is about that. Sounds bad! But more importantly, stormtroopers have FINALLY met pirates in what is sure to be a battle for the ages.
Culture Buzz Here is a system, courtesy of Tumblr Liana, to devise an exotic name worthy of an NPR show (like Nina Totenberg or Renita Jablonski). Add your middle initial to your first name, then tack on the smallest foreign town you have ever visited. I am Amandak St. Milo, and I will be hosting a variety show/Tim Riggins Appreciation hour. Tune in tomorrow at 5.

The holiday shopping season is in full force (for those few Americans who still have some money, that is). Here's a gift guide for the geeks in your life.

Cool video showing all the activity on Facebook across the globe.
Cool trick for nerds who need to chill their beer fast! This guy is my hero.
The latest geek-chic home accessory: iPhone coasters. Now you can turn your coffee table into a declaration of Apple fandom.
This T-shirt has a built-in speaker so you can play seven different drum sounds by tapping your chest. I love how committed this guy is to rocking out, novelty-T-shirt style.
A user on Deviant Art has created some gorgeous, conceptual art inspired by Nintendo in its infancy. Admittedly, we’re a sucker for anything remotely reminisicent of Mega Man.
A funny and fairly accurate portrayal of how a kid becomes a geek. There’s only one way to get to ‘Girls,’ and it’s through exposure to sunlight, not D&D (via Scribbling).
Science Buzz A mad scientist creates a clickable periodic table with a video for each element. Now you can geek out to videos about magnesium, argon, and plutonium. Get ready to find your inner geek!
Creative Coffins designs iPhone casket. This ain’t no joke. In addition to the iPhone coffin, the company offers a number of other themed wooden, er…cardboard?, overcoats. All are custom inspired.
TV Buzz The buzz is strong for the fourth and final season of Sci-Fi Channel’s brilliant “reimagining” of the chintzy series from the 70’s. So why aren’t you watching? It’s won a Peabody, for frak’s sake! Plus, The Wire’s over, and it’s not as if White People have anything else to do.
Tech Buzz Engadget and Gizmodo, the Web’s undisputed champion gear blogs, fight to the death for page hits and credibility. It’s like Ali vs. Frazier, only where these guys pack a punch is in their ability to out-liveblog one another.
Food Buzz Specialty cakes - Yoda, the Kindle, an Atari - are a growing sector of the baking industry. Actually, a lot of these look lovingly homemade. Aw, geeks, you make the bestest cakes! (This is the year-round version of geek pumpkins.)
Tech Buzz Toshiba confirmed rumors that they would permanently halt production of the HD DVD. And who can blame them? Watching Planet Earth on Blu-ray makes the HD version look like a coloring book.
And you thought these reactions were bad. A million face palms is not…
