Tour Adam Savage’s Cave

July 11, 2014 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

 

Adam Savage shows us around his amazing “hidden workshop of wonder” in San Francisco on Tested.

The workshop is filled with notable film props, costumes, specialized tools, collector items and more. He shows us how he made a relatively inexpensive display case into something fantastic for showing off a few of his many collectible items as well as giving us a peek into how he manages and organizes his many tools, bits, accessories and more.

Spellslingers an Awesome Magic The Gathering Showdown

December 3, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr 1 Comment

Magic: The Gathering is my all time favorite trading card game, and I have watched many tournaments and other various shows related to MTG over the years, but Spellslingers is quickly becoming a my top watch.

Spellslingers is a highly entertaining show featuring Sean Plott from Day9TV doing battle with other popular geeks and gamers like, Jessie Cox, Rob Simpson and Felicia Day. The gameplay is fun to watch whether your a veteran player or if your new to the game, you might even pick up a few tecniques and a better understanding of how to play. Although the game itself is the centerpiece of this show, the banter and comedy that ensues as Sean goes head-to-head with fellow geeks is hilarious.

Spellslingers, which shows new episodes on Wednesdays, is part of the YouTube channel Geek and Sundry that features many other highly entertaining shows for geeks including the very popular web series The Guild.

ASCII Art Generator

August 30, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

ASCII stands for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange and it is a code that represents English characters as numbers in computers. There are a total 128 characters in standard ASCII and many of them can be used to create ASCII art, which is created by using the 95 printable characters out of the total 128.ASCIIHeart

You can easily piece together your own ASCII art by simply opening any text editing program but if you want a quick way to turn ordinary text strings into an ASCII art masterpiece, then check out this awesome Text to ASCII Art Generator by Patorjk.com.

Here’s an example of what one style of ASCII text art looks like. There are tons of different styles to choose from and there are even options to change format output.


 

/$$   /$$           /$$ /$$                 /$$      /$$                     /$$       /$$

You can also create images by using ASCII characters, you can use a picture to ASCII converter like Picascii. You can either enter a URL or upload an image to convert it to ASCII Art. There are even options for size and color plus an HTML formatter to ensure it looks correct when posting the art elsewhere.

GeekwithEnvy Classic

August 6, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

GWE Logo Small

Upon putting together some posts for older computers we realized that it may be helpful to access this website from one of those older machines. There is a bit of a problem however with newer websites on older machines, they just don’t work properly. There is just too much going on for older machines to process and even if the hardware is up to the task, the browser will likely not be.

There are also times where your connection speed may be less than optimal, perhaps in a deserted  post-apocalyptic town that has become overrun with zombies. In both of these circumstances a “basic” version of our website would be most useful. Enter GeekwithEnvy Classic.

The new subdomain is currently in beta and has very little content and is very incomplete, but we will be updating the site regularly. Currently, GWE Classic will only feature specific content from the main site, mostly things that pertain to older machines including, how-to’s, older software and guides.

The link to GeekwithEnvy Classic will be at the bottom of our this site in the site navigation menu. To access GWE Classic directly, head to http://classic.geekwithenvy.com.

Hope you find it useful!  (Suggestions on Content are Welcome) E-mail suggestions to support@geekwithenvy.com

Thanks,

-GWE Team-
