The things we do to pass the time…
Happy Labor Day to our American readers! Aside from traveling across the world or spending time with our significant others, one thing we love doing on holidays is sitting at home and playing video games. Actually, I think one of the things that is a solid qualification for the title of “geek” is countless logged [...]
Fire Extinguisher or Grenade Launcher?
You probably never thought that torturing your siblings with that massive Nerf gun years ago would ever be useful. What if someone gave you this Shooter and ordered you to put out a fire using bullets filled with the very chemicals inside of a regular old fire extinguisher? Would you gracefully decline, or …would you [...]
‘Deus Ex Machina’ Concept Motorcycle
There is a new Motorcycle Design Program at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Previously well known for their ability to churn out some outstanding automobile concepts, it seems that just recently a student named Jake Loniak is making some waves and bringing a lot of positive attention to this particular program. [...]
Star Wars Lego Olympics 2008
I’m the kind of guy that has a weakness for clicking on titles like the one you see above this post. I fracking love Star Wars, and Lego, so why wouldn’t it be fun to see how they coincide with some current culture and events in the world…like…the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

One iRing to Rule Them All?
The iPod has singlehandedly created an onslaught of additional gadgets into our market. While the vast majority of them have been equally or lesser stylish than the white brick, some ideas are simply intriguing…especially conceptual ones like Victor Soto’s iRing.
It’s a Bluetooth device that controls the playback functions of whatever iPod or IPhone it’s [...]
Small Talk With a Web Designer
This flow chart titled ‘Small Talk With a Web Designer’ comes straight from The Man in Blue in response to Jason Santa Maria’s ‘Explain Yourself‘ article on the notion of the title “Graphic Designer” as it applies to web design.
Having been a fan of Jason’s websites before, and seeing his work at Happy Cog (based [...]
LEGO Store opening in King of Prussia
Yes, the title of this post has been confirmed. First there was a rumor that a store manager position for a Lego store in King of Prussia was posted on Monster.com (I checked, it’s still online but I suspect they already hired someone …damn, I’m too late!)
Then a helpful enthusiast on FBTBForums noted that the [...]
Star Wars Tenugui (Hanging Banners)
I suspect ThinkGeek labels them as “Hanging Banners” for those not “in the know” about what Tenugui are. OK I’ll admit that I had no idea either…but now that I do understand what they are, I think they’re pretty freaking cool. They each measure 13.4″x35.4″ at $19.99. In a room full of [...]
Google Maps: Cloned Trees in Holland
No, they’re not the type of clones you’d find in Star Wars, or Battlestar Galactica. These are a set of trees cloned in Photoshop found in this part of Holland thanks to Photoshop Disasters.
It’s not quite as entertaining as what we find on the streets of Philadelphia via Google Street View, but it makes [...]
The Great Superhero Simpsonification
Welcome to the wonderful mad world of Dean T. Fraser. In his project titled Springfield Punx, he recreates popular heroes and villains in the spirit of The Simpsons. Some of my favorites include Master Chief from Halo, Iron Man, The Joker, and Spiderman. He also recently created a desktop wallpaper for the [...]
