In April 2022, the website went inactive, save for a black main page with the message "Geekologie has shut down. Thank you to everybody. Now go be happy."[8][9]

The "Awesome"

Besides articles and commentary on gadgets and electronics, Geekologie often features articles on the "awesome",[1][2] which generally include items that are unordinary like the Bacon Explosion[10][11] a bacon and sausage roll consisting of two pounds of sausage and bacon, rolled into a cylinder and baked. Another 'awesome' article featured is the 1,474 megapixel photo of President Obama's Inauguration.[12][13]
