About Geekdom

Total Geekdom is who and what I am at heart, a geek. Since my early years as a teenager I have always been fascinated with the newest and latest technologies. Computers, audio players, video games, phones, TVs, gadgets and pretty much anything that spoke binary in one form or another was what my world revolved around.

My addiction is what Total Geekdom is all about. Tinkering, hacking, modding and just plain frakking around with electronics is what I do. I have more projects at various stages at any one time than I can even think of, but here is where they end up when they’re finished. I started this website as a way to share my projects, but since then I’ve received a lot of great feedback, and the site has begun to evolve.

What originally started as just a place to share my projects has begun to grow into something else, and now I frequently get requests to help, consult, build or design computer and technology related projects. I’m more than happy to simply advise others in their own endeavors, but just as often, customers are requesting that I build and design projects that they had only dreamed about. So I’ve added some sections to the site for the services and things that I most frequently have others request of me – Lego Computers, computer building, and commissions.

Feel free to send me a message if you have a project that you’d like to discuss further. Whether it’s a request for a commission or a computer, or to just discuss awesomely geeky things.

  2. This is a very informative post about online casinos
    and betting platforms. I especially liked how it explains the importance of choosing
    a secure site before signing up.

    Many players often ask where they can find reliable gaming platforms with
    fair odds and smooth payouts. From what I’ve
    seen, checking platforms like vn22vip helps users compare features, bonuses, and overall experience.

    Thanks for sharing these insights — they’re helpful
    for both beginners and experienced bettors.

  3. This reads more like a build log than an about page, which I appreciate. Same trajectory here — dead cassette player taken apart on the kitchen table, a Lego bin never far away, always something half-disassembled. These days the tinkering mostly happens in Claude on small side projects, usually me trying to get a chart or a workflow to behave.

    That’s how I ended up reading around for Claude Motion without a Team plan. What I found was an unofficial guide, not Anthropic’s page: Motion is in beta and sits on Team and Enterprise plans only, it writes the animation as code and exports an MP4, and it counts toward whatever usage limits your plan has. The guide was upfront that it won’t produce realistic footage, and the help page says nothing about audio. Fine if what you want is a diagram that moves; less use if you need something that looks shot on a camera.

    Llegar preparado una entrevista de trabajo puede generar nervios, especialmente cuando quien busca empleo no sabe cómo responder.

    Sin embargo, analizar el proceso no significa utilizar contestaciones como si fueran un guion.

    El objetivo de una buena preparación previa es reconocer la propia trayectoria y presentarla de forma convincente.

    Antes de una entrevista, conviene identificar las desafíos laborales de la trayectoria laboral.

    También es útil organizar ejemplos concretos relacionados con adaptación al cambio. Estos ejemplos permiten presentar las capacidades de una manera clara.

    En las entrevistas por competencias, muchas preguntas del entrevistador buscan conocer cómo manejaste un desafío en situaciones reales.

    Por eso, en lugar de aprender una respuesta para cada posible pregunta, es preferible identificar diferentes ejemplos que puedan utilizarse a distintas competencias.

    Otro factor importante es recrear la evaluación antes del encuentro.

  6. That mindset of taking things apart, building with Lego, and messing with hardware just to see what happens is how most of us got hooked on tech early on. It is always good to see people who kept that hands-on maker spirit going over the years.

    Lately most of my tinkering has shifted toward creative software like Veo 3.1 Video Generator. When friends ask for a reliable нейросеть для генерации видео to mock up quick project teasers, I usually point them there; generating a simple 5-second rotating clip of a custom PC chassis took me maybe two minutes, which works fine for showing off a build in progress without setting up lights and a tripod.

  8. That tinkering mindset definitely hits home. Half the fun of getting into tech early on was pulling things apart—whether modifying custom PC builds or messing around with Lego mechanisms—just to see what was actually possible with the parts on hand.

    Lately I’ve been scratching that same experimentation itch on the digital side for small project clips. Testing Kling 4.0, this AI video generator managed a clean macro shot of miniature mechanical gears turning without melting the edges, mostly because I locked down the initial angle with a clean photo reference first. It still takes some trial and error on complex motion, but tweaking the inputs feels a lot like old-school hardware modding.

  9. That mix of computers, Lego, modding, and gadget curiosity captures geekdom well—especially the urge to take things apart, understand them, and build something new.

    That same tinkering instinct led me to pdoomvideo.com when I was experimenting with an AI music video. I followed the 10-step guide, adapted a few copy-paste prompts, and used the glossary to decode the p(doom) jokes.

  10. It’s cool reading how you describe tinkering and modding as part of your identity — that “speaks binary” line really captures why gadget-hoarding folks like us never quite grow out of it. I geek out over the same stuff, just on the photo side of things lately.

    Lately my own tinkering has been building quick product mockups for a side project, and a tool called **free background remover** has quietly saved me a ton of time on cutting out parts shots before I drop them onto a clean backdrop.

  11. I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for
    me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be
    much more useful than ever before.

  12. I’m curious to find out what blog platform you are utilizing?
    I’m having some minor security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more
    safeguarded. Do you have any suggestions?

  14. I got pulled into the same rabbit hole with these browser games with live Jev, and the rooftop dash kept me going way longer than I expected. It reads fast, so it fits the tinkering mood of the post — I keep one tab open next to whatever project I’m messing with, mostly just to watch how it reacts to my clicks. Fun little companion for gadget-y breaks.

  15. Great items from you, man. I’ve take note your stuff
    prior to and you’re just too great. I really like what you’ve
    got here, certainly like what you are stating and the way
    in which wherein you say it. You are making it entertaining and you still care for to keep it smart.
    I cant wait to learn far more from you. That is actually a
    wonderful web site.

  16. As someone who photographs their own builds and mods, I appreciate an about page like this — the tinkering mindset translates directly to image work, where I’m constantly touching up close-ups of hardware, rescuing grainy shots of old gadgets, or running an AI photo enhancer on low-res blog graphics before posting. It’s the same spirit of taking something rough and refining it, just with pixels instead of parts.

  17. It’s a relief to read a post that just owns the geek label without apology. The way you describe that pull toward anything with a chip or a circuit—from teenage gadget fever to the tinkering mindset now—really resonated with my own scratch-built projects and the endless hours spent modding rather than just using things.

    It also reminded me that my latest obsession isn’t a new console, but spatial planning for my workshop. After a few too many failed layouts, I gave in and started using the PlanLiva floor plan tool to map out workbenches and shelves before I moved anything heavy—and honestly, it saved me from a couple of weekends of rearranging furniture for no reason. It’s not flashy, but it does one thing well, and that’s enough for me.

  19. When I initially commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
    now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the
    same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove
    me from that service? Appreciate it!

  20. Sounds familiar. Dead audio players, a shelf of half-finished Lego builds, and I still take things apart before I read the manual.

    This week it was paperwork instead of tinkering. A school consent form, photographed on the kitchen table with a shadow across one corner, and the portal only took a PDF with a file size limit. I put it through a free online document scanner — LensUp — which cleaned the photo into a printable PDF and squeezed it toward the size I picked. The compression aims at the size you choose, it can land a bit over, so I checked it before sending. Nothing got uploaded either, the whole thing ran in the browser tab. Faster than finding the real scanner, which is probably still under a pile of parts.

  21. Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in web explorer, might test this?
    IE nonetheless is the market leader and a huge element of other folks will omit your fantastic
    writing because of this problem.

  22. The mix of computers, Lego, modding, and building things from scratch feels familiar. I make small projects too, and I use this pay-to-rank leaderboard for simple paid placement. Bids start at $1, rank is just what you paid in the last 7 days, and bids expire after 7 days. I cannot out-market anyone, but sometimes I can outbid them by a dollar.

  23. Howdy I am so happy I found your web site, I really found you by accident, while I was searching on Yahoo for something else,
    Nonetheless I am here now and would just like
    to say thanks a lot for a remarkable post and a all
    round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a
    great deal more, Please do keep up the excellent jo.

  24. The bit about gadgets that spoke binary hit home — I still get that itch, though some of my tinkering now happens in a browser tab instead of on a workbench. I’ve been using ShimmerPic, a small indie front-end built around a single model family, and what I like is that it puts two models at one price with the prompts shown right next to their results, so you can compare instead of guessing; this browser-based GPT Image 2.5 studio also says plainly on its site that the images are AI-generated and that fine text and logos can drift, which feels honest. Not official or anything, just a tool I actually use between mods.

  25. The Lego, modding, and gadget side of geekdom feels familiar. The two of us can spend an evening building the same project, though she reads every instruction and I usually discover step three after step nine. We even used this friendship quiz on KnowUsWell to start a conversation about our very different tinkering habits.

  26. Your mix of computers, Lego, modding, and hands-on building really captures the spirit of geekdom. I recently brought a damaged family photo back to life using mejorar calidad de imagen, and I appreciated that the tool was designed with Spanish-speaking users in mind—it felt like another satisfying little tech project.

  27. Your story of lifelong geekdom really captures the joy of tinkering, modding, and building. On our small indie team, we bring that same spirit to the Spanish-speaking market with mejorar calidad de imagen; I recently used it to restore a damaged family photo, and seeing it come back to life reminded me why experimenting with technology feels so rewarding.

  28. Just wish to say your article is as surprising. The clarity in your publish is just spectacular and i can assume you
    are knowledgeable on this subject. Well along with your permission allow me to
    grasp your feed to keep up to date with impending post. Thank you
    one million and please carry on the rewarding work.

  29. Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your website in web explorer, would check this?
    IE nonetheless is the market chief and a huge section of people will omit your
    great writing due to this problem.

  30. Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this
    post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this.
    I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read.
    Thank you for sharing!

  31. Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to tears
    at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break.
    I enjoy the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
    I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my phone ..

    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, good blog!
