Even though none of us here at Caffination are female, or wear any type of woman’s clothing, I thought these were a must see.

These were just a personal project. However, if they were to be sold at all, I’m sure the would be quite the hot item among the geeky girls.

Siri is the new Apple personal assistant, voice recognition app. It can do so many things, and apparently one of them is comedy! Part of the challenge of designing software that reacts to people in real language is dealing with unexpected input. This isn’t a new problem, drop an F bomb in Zork, and you get the response “Such language in a high-class  establishment like this!” And Zork came out in 1979, people haven’t changed that much since then.

As soon as you can talk to a piece of software someone is going to curse, another is say dirty suggestive things. And apparently Siri has the response to all of it. Pop Culture references, Philosophical queries, foul requests. All of that can be found on the hilarious blog. Shit Siri Says. People submit conversations, and we all get to laugh.

But Siri, as a concept has never been far from Apple’s mind. For a bit of a jaw dropping experience take a look at one of the original concepts for a digital assistant, the  Knowledge Navigator.

My wife is not a true geek,she is a wonderful woman but not a real geek. She is… geek-ish. She knows how to code, works with databases and tolerates my endless nerdy jokes. But in all reality she is quite a normal sane lady with no interest in star wars, tolkien or anything else. For someone as off the deep end as I am it helps to stay a little grounded.  When i proposed I did so while feverish, literally 104 Fahrenheit, and on bended knee in a place special to the two of us.

However when Gary wanted to ask Stephanie to marry him he went the extra geeky mile. Using their shared love of Portal, he worked with the modding community, Valve and the Voice of Glaados herself, Ellen McLain and worked out the wondrous video you see below.

Come to think of it. If i had really wanted to go geek with my proposal I could have designed a level in Mario Kart 64 and worked it that way… Hindsight is always 20/20. Best Wishes to Gary and Stephanie as they start their life together.

When the time comes for a zombies apocolypse, I don’t think Dominos will still be delivering. So you need to stock up on something that will last you for some time. I suggest stocking up on some Tactical Sammichs. The best part: They have a shelf life of 2 years

Trekkies rejoice, the blue magic known across the universe as Romulan Ale is now available from Thinkgeek for the low low price of 14.99 per six-pack. not a bad price if this was microbrewed Romulan IPA, but alas this is an energy drink. take off the silly ears after you get a couple of these in your gullet you aren’t going to so much as want to relax with a cold one but rather clean the holodeck. As a small aside the dude in the picture above is creeping me out, something fierce.

Why didn’t some enterprising brewery work with the fine folks at Roddenberry? it isn’t as if we wouldn’t expect the product to be alcoholic, its called Romulan ALE.

So now at least Sad Simpson Duff Beer fans have a rival in energy drink almost but not quite win

Duff Energy Drink?
