Happy Blogiversary to me!  Girl Gone Geek Blog turns 1-year-old today! Which is about 13 in blog years. I can’t believe it’s already been a year… Actually that’s a lie, it totally felt like a year. I started this blog with no intentions other than to blab about all of the brilliant things I am unashamedly obsessed about, they just so happen to dwell in the geek realm. The fact that it continues to grow and [...]

I’m completely obsessed with Etsy, and since Girl Gone Geek is a love letter to my obsessions I figured it was a fine time to feature some ridiculously adorable crocheted geekery from Etsy. Not only did I want to do this because I think these dolls are super cute, but I think it’s great to support actual people and fellow geeks (and not just big companies) who spend hours making these gamer goodies. Since there is a [...]

I would revert back to the old-fashioned ways of *gasp* hand writing letters if they could be done on this too-cool-for-words zombie stationery. Not only are they gory but designed exceptionally well. I went through to mild bought of depression when I realized these weren’t for sale. They were created by Behance Network for the German crime and horror cable channel 13th Street which is now their official stationery. Credit and Awards for this unbelievably [...]
