Brad Pitt Gets Wired, Says No Phones in the Bathroom
Brad Pitt is no stranger to the cover of a magazine, but next month he's popping up unexpectedly on the cover of Wired. We're sure to see and hear lots from Brad in the run up to Inglourious Basterds's release on August 21, and he's kicking things off with this tech-themed interview. He said:
- On Twittering photos of your wife's butt, like Ashton: "Don't take a picture of your wife's butt.
J.J. Abrams Brings Possibly the Coolest Issue of Wired Yet
This newest issue of Wired Magazine (which I read faithfully), brings together some of my favorite things inside its pages: puzzles, magic, and J.J. Abrams.
Not only is J.J.
Which Gadgets Have Been Replaced by Your Smartphone?
On Monday, Wired posted a comical story about five gadgets that have been killed by the cell phone, then yesterday amended the post to include even more gadgets that have been tossed aside for the convenience of all-in-one cell features.
This got me wondering if your cell phone has taken the place of your other gadgets? I know that my iPhone has inadvertently replaced several on this list, but there are a few I can't live without (hello, proper digital camera!).
Robyn: The Anti-Britney Spears?
In the May issue of Wired magazine, the Swedish pop star Robyn is hailed as the anti-Britney Spears: She's a good-looking blonde who happens to be a talented songwriter, she's uncompromising when it comes to producing chart-topping hits for a demanding label, and instead of making out with Madonna and divorcing K-Fed, she started her own label and carved out a long and respectable music career.

Geekipedia: Wired's Encyclopedia For Geeks
When this month's issue of Wired Magazine arrived at my doorstep, I was delightfully surprised to find another magazine enclosed—a lovely Geekipedia. This little blue book contains all of the people, places, ideas and trends you need to know now; bringing you up to speed on the latest top tech topics. It's a must have manual for all things geek and something most of you readers should check out.
How To Rock Out With Guitar Hero
In case you missed it, Wired Magazine has created a great How To Wiki, which is a collaborative site dedicated to Do It Yourself projects and tips. My favorite entry so far is the How to Rock At Guitar Hero guide. So how can you shock your audience if you don't have the LEGO Gibson guitar?
Wired Magazine Decodes Self-Tanner
I never would have expected this from the tech gurus over at Wired, but the magazine has deciphered the ingredient list of L'Oréal Sublime Bronze self-tanner ($7.81). It's interesting stuff, if only to see what all of those tongue-twisting chemical names really do. For instance:
Dihydroxy Acetone: The star of the show.
Martha Stewart Does Edible Geek On Wired
Homemaking expert Martha Stewart may not have stripped down like Jenna Fischer for her cover of Wired, but she does get her geek on with a baked-to-perfection Wii cake and by revealing her inner techieness.
Gadget obsessed Martha stays connected with her BlackBerry and Razr (pink perhaps?) and it's no surprise that the super organized Stewart has a "servery," a room with two long white marble counters on either side with lots of plugs, where she keeps her gadgets, charges her cameras and stores batteries. She also attempts to keep wires and "crap" (no lie) to a minimum, opting for iPods in every room with wireless speakers.
