Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

The Microsoft Surface is a giant table-top touchscreen – sorta like a humungous iPhone with legs. It’s super futuristic and looks like the kind of device people will find a billion different uses for. As for finding the single most unbelievably nerdy use for the table, well, one of Microsoft’s developers at Carnegie Mellon has already squashed the competition. In the video above you will see a recreation of the Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game on the MS Surface. Yes, we’re talking the futuristic technology imagined by PK Dick meets D&D but real life. This is the nerd apex: Eat it up, nerds.
