We write about a lot of stuff here at Uberreview, but there are some things that tickle my fancy a little more than others, so if you have a few minutes to indulge me, please check out our top ten posts of February. They are in no particular order, other than being ordered reverse chronologically, albeit slightly imperfectly.

Read on for our top ten posts of February.

1. Dude Gets a Flashdrive Cake By Mistake

This was my personal favorite, cake shop incompetence saw a thumb drive cake, that should have had a picture of the boss. If you ask me it probably serves whomever ordered the thing right for going so far as having the boss’s mug put on a dessert.

Police in Colorado Springs were searching for a six-foot-tall white male who robbed a 7-11 using a Klingon Bat’leth sword.

3. Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella Might Make the Temptation to Chop Stuff Too Difficult to Resist

As a student of the martial art, Iaido, I often find myself resisting the urge to practice techniques with an umbrella. If said umbrella had a sword handle, then I am afraid the temptation would be impossible to resist.

4. Videos: Microsoft Pwned By Thieving Lowlife

It seems no one likes the Microsoft Zune. In this CCTV footage, you see a dorm room thief treat the Microsoft PMP with the utmost contempt. He takes the earphones and discards the Zune, owned.

5. Videos: R2-D2 Steambot from Crabfu

Crabfu has produced some amazing bots, but his steam series takes the cake as far as I am concerned, with this R2-D2 Steambot being the big daddy of them all.

6. Chronophage: Monstrous Cambridge Clock Eats Time

I am hesitant to call this work steampunk because a lot of stuff that falls into the steampunk category simply tries too hard. It is without a doubt the coolest clock I have ever seen and the interview with the maker, a Cambridge alumnist, is well worth the time it takes to watch.

7. “The Shining” Hot Water Bottle Gives You a Warm Night of Sweet Dreams

To me, The Shining was one of Nicholson’s coolest roles. It was an awesome movie and he was a frighteningly believable maniac. Why not celebrate a piece of cinematic history with a hot water bottle?

8. Steampunk Frankenstein Computer Casemod the Steampunkest ‘puter Ever

Whatever you think of the steampunk trend, this case mod is very, very well done. One can only hope that it packs some monstrous specs to go with that case.

This awesome little add-on can turn any bicycle into an electric bike with a very respectable range. It charges up on downhill runs and has a respectable range of 20-miles without pedaling. It is set to cost a few hundred dollars, which is a lot cheaper than an electric bike.

10. Gaping Hole Halloween Costume a Perfect Mix of Technology and Tomfoolery

Halloween is months away, but this was too good to wait. A camera positioned at the wearers back captures a scene from behind, which is displayed on a small screen on the wearers front. The effect makes it look like the person has a gaping hole in their torso.
