Bionic Puppy: Cuter Than Bionic Comando
This adorable little puppy, who supplies us with endless comparisons to Lil’ Brudder from Homestar Runner, was born, alas, with no front legs.
Named Hope, this little Maltese puppy gets around using model airplane wheels as front leg and her hind legs to run around. She was taken in by a Maltese Rescue in Chattanooga, TN [...]
Optimus Prime Sculpture: Metallic, Saves Human Race
This awesome Optimus Prime sculpture standards a whopping 87 inches tall and is made out of various bits and pieces of metallic junk, weighting it at nearly 500 pounds.
It’ll run your pockets a solid $5000, and looks a lot nicer than the sculpture I made out of 500 pounds of junk. That thing was awful.
Optimus [...]
Robotic Chick: Adorable, Tastes Like Electronics
I always enjoyed PETA’s “I Am Not A Nugget” campaign. Why? Because it’s hysterical. Little cartoon chick, you are a nugget. Deal with it. However, this adorable robotic baby chick by the people over at Brando, is not.
Produced by Sega, this little baby chicken will flap its wings, chirp, cry, and act like an actual [...]
Transformers II: Filming Underway?
We here at the Geek were pretty psyched when we heard rumors about Transformers possibly filming in Philadelphia. We’re still holding on to that glimmer of hope, despite these recently released photos showing these police mustangs with Decepticon logos outside Culiver City.
Check out the photos. We can’t wait for a second movie.
Transformers 2 Filming @ [...]
Tiny Robo Vacuum: Cute, Won’t Kill You
I didn’t listen to my friends. When I spotted an ad on Philly’s Craigslist for a Roomba, I just couldn’t resist! $50? For a robot? I’ve been watching my back ever since, waiting for the inevitable robot uprising.
Luckily for you, dear readers, it isn’t too late. You can pick up this little robo vacuum at [...]
Cubesday: Cubicle Warfare Using An iBird
You know, I’m willing to accept the fact that I might be a bad person. Because every time I see a new, cute, adorable remote controlled toy, all I can think of are the ways I plan on using it as a means of reigning havoc inside my cubespace on my poor neighbors. The iBird… [...]
Hovering Robot or Giant Lego?
Down in Florida and Texas, police departments have a fun unit in their ranks A Micro Air Vehicle, or MAV, made by Honeywell. This little guy can fly up to 10,000 feet high, through windows, and transmit live video. The plan is to use these during SWAT operations.
These could be fun here in Philadelphia. Just [...]
Puppy Vs. Robot: Deathmatch! (Not Really)
Philadelphia does, believe it or not, love their robot battles. And seriously, who doesn’t? There was the robot battle in West Philadelphia, and back in October, you could have stopped by the Franklin Institute to witness some one on one robot devastation. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much in terms of robot battles [...]
Robot Cupcakes: Delicious & Non-Metallic
Okay, seriously Naomi, you need to move to Philadelphia. Right now. Australia won’t love you as much as we will.
Last time I mentioned Naomi’s delicious cupcakes on here, she had done up some fantastic Pacman cupcakes that sent my tummy rumbling. Once again, Neatorama has provided some glorious linkage to Naomi’s amazing creations, and they [...]
MakePhilly Idea: Battle Beetles!
So I missed MakePhilly this weekend due to school. Again. Ugh.
In an attempt to make up for this, here’s another fun idea! If making Bristlebots is too taxing, perhaps some pre-made battling robots would be best for you. These RC Beetle robots from Sega duke it out hardcore, the remote giving you full control of [...]
