LEGO designers discuss building R2-D2
You can now get a pretty impressive R2-D2 model from LEGO. At the time of posting, searching their store for R2 comes up blank, although the keychain R2-D2 mentioned in the video below is available. I’ve noticed that some of the LEGO franchise builds can be too simple. Rather than building LEGO into the shape […]
Race car science as micro arc oxidation helps create HTC One S cases
Sometimes the science aspects of this blog merge with the tech aspects of this blog. Makes sense, right? The surprise is that it doesn’t happen more often. I suspect that the science isn’t often seen as exciting enough by the marketing departments and so no cool videos are created to explain it. Horrah, then, for […]

The best cosplay of Marseille’s Japan Expo Sud 2012
Omaru, the French photographer behind the popular cosplay highlights of 2011, took his camera to the Japan Expo in Marseille this year. The result? Two new videos and this time French cosplayers. Omaru wasn’t very keen on the venue/backdrop in terms of the video production but what I see here is cosplay as good as […]
Little Frakkin’ Toasters – the classic chrome centurion model
This little frakkin’ toaster isn’t entirely cheap – but he’s awfully cute. Cute in the conquer the human race sense, that is. He’s six inches tall, cast in resin and then plated in chrome. This really is a chrome job. Little frakkin’ toaster was designed by special effects arist Dustin Adair who worked on Battlestar […]
Take the mask of Cthulhu for yourself?
Etsy trader Epic Leather has a rather impressive Cthulhu mask for sale. The work that has gone into this leather creation cannot be understated. The leather has been worked, coloured and shaped. There are very many different pieces to the mask which looks exactly like the face plate to some medieval cultist. It’s not cheap […]
