I wanted to make a quick announcement.  Starting probably the end of this week, I am going to have a new feature here.  At the end of every week, I am going to start posting a list of  my favorite links and news stories that I come across during the week.  Some of which are likely to be covered in my podcasts but certainly not all of them.  From cool LEGO pictures to great music, I will start posting links to great content from around the internet.

This will likely be a Friday or Saturday post, so that is when you should expect it.  If you have any links that you think I should check out for possible inclusion in the post, please email them to me at pcnerd37@globalgeeknews.com.  You can also Twitter me @pcnerd37.

There seems to be a fascination on the internet about finding big screen blue screen of death images.  Whether its at the Olympics or in Times Square, everybody wants to see a BSOD hit a large screen, or any screen that isn’t their own.  Today, we have the next best thing.  A virus alert has now been spotted on a large screen.  Check it out!

A virus alert on a big screen.

Have you ever had the chance to see a big BSOD or virus alert on a big screen in person?  If so, share your story!

I came across this cool little test to determine just how dangerous of a driver you are.  I figured I would share the test with others to see how other people scored compared to myself.  I scored a 72% B and was considered a little risk.  How dangerous are you?

Were you unable to purchase the batmobile recently up for sale on Ebay but are still looking for a piece of Hollywood history?  Here is your latest opportunity.  A fully restored Ghostbusters Ecto-1 is now up for auction on Ebay!  The car has been used for the Ghostbusters Experience at Universal Studios for the past 15 years (NOT the actual car from the movie).

The current bid is $45,600.00.  If you have the cash to spend and want a piece of Ghostbusters’ history, keep an eye on this auction as it ends on October 11th.

Happy bidding!

As I’m sure most of you noticed, due to a very busy week and internet problems, unlike what I had planned, there have been no blogs, podcasts or just about anything else.  I have been in San Francisco since Sunday night for the TechCrunch50 conference (which is amazing) and I am exhausted.  The trip out here was a very long adventure in itself, something I will try to write about later in the day.  Long story short, it involved lots of time in the air and a couple hour shuttle ride, so it will be worth the read when I post about it.

While I can’t say I’m very impressed with San Francisco, this is an amazing conference.  I really believe in what they are trying to accomplish with this conference.  There have been a few companies that have presented that I’m not impressed with but there are a few companies that have nothing short of an amazing product.  I will be posting about them and my thoughts on the Global Geek News Blog starting today.

As fun as this has been, with all the travel, early mornings and late night parties, I am ready to crash.  My flight isn’t until Saturday afternoon but I am really considering canceling that flight and just leaving tomorrow.  I have been looking forward to the Nightwish concert on Friday and already have my tickets, but I am ready to go home.

A huge thanks to Jason Calacanis for inviting me to the conference as it has been an amazing experience!

More to come later today and don’t forget to check out the Global Geek News Blog for more about the TechCrunch50 and the companies that have been presenting here!
