he show must go on -- even if I may have to "show" a little more skin to bring in the ratings. In spite of some people urging me to keep my clothes on during today's nearly botched TLDR, YouTube made me get naked. I didn't want to do it, but what choice did I have?

Actually, it's a pretty liberating experience. I think everyone -- Gnomie and non-Gnomie, alike -- should TLDR naked every now and again. "Freeeeeedom!"

Here are some of the things on LockerGnome.com and in our live YouTube stream that we chatted about today.

Five Cool Kindle Touch Covers

After having lost a Kindle in a way that could have been prevented with a good cover, Matt Ryan's practice of using gadgets in their natural state came into question.

Here are five Kindle Touch covers that offer a combination of protection and design -- with a geeky twist.

Five Geeky Model Rocket Kits

Is that rocket in your pocket, or are you just happy to... oh. It is a rocket!

Here are five really cool, geeky model rocket kits that should satisfy the aspiring astronaut of any age.

How to Install Windows Games on Linux

While there are indeed a fairly reasonable number of video game options for the Linux desktop, none of them are really the mainstream games many of us have come to know and love. This translates into many people either dual-booting their computers or perhaps, instead, opting to green-light one of the various solutions that run Wine. Using Wine is generally a last choice since it's trying to run Windows libraries on a Linux operating system, but can also lead to a very buggy experience. The real issue comes down to how the game is coded because games are typically optimized to run with the operating system having native access to computer hardware, not via an emulation mode like Wine. That being said, there are (at least) a few options out there if you'd like to install Windows games on Linux. Here are a couple that I've found deserving of a second look.

How to Run Multiple EVE Online Clients on OS X

This allows players to easily switch between clients and assign tasks to various characters as needed. So how do you set up multiple instances of EVE Online on OS X? Here's how!

Pirillo Vlog 009 -- We Have a Strange Fettish

Off the bat, let me say that we didn't misspell the word "fetish" in that title. Did you think we did? Either you're a Star Wars fan with an affinity for the Galaxy's most feared bounty hunter, or you just happen to read English real good. Anyway, here's part nine of the (mostly) daily vlog that Diana and I have been up to lately.
