It pays to wake up in style. A good start to the day will carry you through until bed time. What constitutes a good start to the day? What about a Star Wars morning? What about a “wake up or be throttled by the dark side of the Force” alarm? Excellent! Just what you needed. […]

The Na’vi’ people of Hometree Wisconsin
There’s LARP and then there’s LARP. The first, of course, is Live Action Role Playing and now we have Live AVATAR Role Playing. This timely mockumentary is worth a giggle. It doesn’t actually have much in common with LARP (except the set design budgets) as the actors in this short are playing people who feel […]
Monster Hunter Tri trailer
Not sure why they’re calling Monster Hunter 3 Monster Hunter Tri but they are. Not that it matters much but it means online retailers thinking about search will have to work out how to collect those would-be shoppers searching for Monster Hunter 3. The cinematic trailer looks impressive. I’ve not played any of the Monster […]
Borg cupcakes: Permission to cup your cakes, ma’am.
What can you say about Borg cupcakes? Turns out Reddit readers had plenty to say; “We are the Cupcakes. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

Yuki-taro the snow eating robot
It’s not unlikely that we’ll see a rather cute snow eating robot shuffling around the streets of Japan in the winter. Blog Inventor Spot brings news of this GPS, camera and self-guided robot actually shoves snow and turns them into lego looking ice blocks. Just how much does this Pokemon style bot cost? Too much. […]
Staples, staples and staples by Baptiste Debombourg
French artist Baptiste Debombourg is enjoying some blogging love right now. Why? Baptiste’s impressive art painting, or should that be art sculpture, is stunning enough to whiz around the craft and the geek blogs. These are the sort of pictures that Twitter and Google Buzz were made for. As it happens I found them via […]
More awesome Lego – crawler towns
Dave DeGobbi is some sort of Canadian Lego-superman guru. He’s built a simply awesome crawler town out of Lego. It’s on display on Flickr. Here’s a snippet of the crawler town mythos; Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities […]
Contemporary Chinese art: Paradise bird salt and pepper shakers
Is it possible a set of salt and pepper shakers could come from a partnership with the National Palace Museum in Taiwan? I don’t need to tell you the answer. Of course it’s possible. It’s all about finding a contemporary interpretation of traditional Chinese arts. Oh? And the shakers…
King of Fighters: Vanessa model
Sideshow have a rather stunning collectible figure of the ever-popular Vanessa. Borrowing from the site’s description of the piece I can say; Standing approximately 12″ high, this tough female fighter poses in a provocative, removable outfit. Oh my!
