If you haven't seen it already, the latest teaser trailer for the Facebook movie, The Social Network, is now online. If you use a Lost Boys-style cover of Creep by Radiohead and you flash up some dramatic looking scenes, I'm always going to be impressed. But despite that, it's got plenty of … [Read more...]

We want to go to there! The UK's biggest knitting and spinning show is about to hit London and Dork Adore will be in attendance, spending many British pounds on lovely yarn and trying to ignore the fact that crochet appears to be entirely forgot.

Geeks! What are you watching at the moment?
Doctor Who is over and there's now a massive hole in my usually jam-packed Sky+ series link line up.

Chumby: Pointless but great. Dork Review
The Chumby is a prime example of a gadget I hate. It's frivolous, of limited use and it looks ridiculous. In short, it's an electricity thief.
