• Disney’s Acquisition of Lucasfilm Might Not Be Such a Bad Thing

  In Geeky

  

  In case you had not heard, Disney just acquired Lucasfilm for enough money to bailout a small-medium bank, announced that they would be working on Episode VII – and the Interwebs erupted with a million NOOOOOOOOOOOOS. Allow me to play the devil’s advocate for a moment. A couple of years ago I was at a seminar in which the lead counsel for Disney Japan gave a very interesting speech. Most of it involved the need [...]

   

• Megan Fox and Acer team up to speak with dolphins

  In Computers, Design, Geeky, Technology

  

  It’s unknown if the software they use in the advert to speak with dolphin actually works or if, more likely, it’s a Hollywood trick. However the video shows off the new Acer Ultrabook that boasts a tactile screen and Windows 8 operating system. That S7 Ultrabook also has an Intel Core i7 CPU and looks really sweet too! Almost entirely too much like a Macbook Air! And boys, let’s face it, the lady in the [...]

   

• Full-Scale Millennium Falcon Replica is the Most Ambitious DIY Project You’ll See All Day

  In DIY, Geeky

  

  You could say that Chris Lee is something of a Star Wars fan. He, together with five friends, aims to spend the next five to seven years of his life turning the DK Ultimate Collection Millennium blueprints into a full-scale Millennium Falcon replica. Lee’s description of the dimensions help to provide a sense of scale: Using the DK Ultimate Collection blueprints as our guide, we have calculated the final outer dimensions of the structure. The [...]

   

• NZXT Hue promises to take your case mods to the next level: Christmas lights

  In Computers, Geeky

  

  The NZXT Hue is a simple thing designed to perform one simple, useless task: Light up your internal PC case with all the colors in the known universe. Initially I was skeptical considering that the package costs 40$ and what it does is rather futile however, after testing one, I bought it. Sure, this LED lighting kit won’t win any popularity contests with any ecology geeks because it does draw at least SOME extra power [...]

   

• The Most Awesome God of War Tattoo That You Will Ever See

  In Geeky

  

  The formidable looking gentleman in this photograph has, what has to be, the most impressive God of War back mural that has ever been inked onto skin – inked all over one anonymous and very impressive back. Seriously, with those lats and shoulders and the impressive pain tolerance that this guy clearly has – you would probably be best served by staying on his good side. I hope he still likes God of War when [...]

   

• Anatomically Correct Human Head Cake Looks Deliciously Wrong

  In Design, Geeky

  

  The hand painted anatomical head cake that you see before you is the deliciously frightening work by the folks at Conjurer’s Kitchen. There is no word on flavor, but given the talent displayed in the exterior, we are guessing that the insides tasted pretty good. [Source]

   

• Man Destroys Water Bottles With Knives and Stabbing Weapons [Video]

  In Geeky, Videos

  

  I don’t know what it is about this video but it is strangely enticing. Yes, the gentleman’s form is a little sloppy (extending your index finger when putting away your sword is a big no-no), but watching him unleash his special brand of hell on a bunch of harmless water bottles makes me feel giddy with joy.

• What Happened Last Night Bandages Spare You the Inevitable Questions

  In Geeky

  

  If you get tired of explaining your injuries after a night of drunken shenanigans, then you might want to take a look at these “What Happened Last Night” bandages. True story: I was riding my bike home at 3 a.m. around seven years ago when I had what could have been a very serious accident. I was going straight and really fast when a car, possibly driven by a drunk decided to turn the corner [...]

   

• Discovery Channel’s Curiosity crashes a 727 on purpose to see what happens

  In Geeky, Misc., Science, Security, Transportation

  

  If you’ve always wondered what happened inside a commercial plane crash, but were afraid to ask too many questions and be banned from flying, this video’s for you. Discovery Channel’s show Curiosity, that showcased such classics as Why is Sex Fun with the beautiful Maggie Gyllenhaal as a guest host, will answer that question. In their second season, they are about to bestow upon us some interesting experiments, like crashing a Boeing 727 with crash test dummies [...]

   

• Put…the Phones…Down……………Briefly

  In Gadgets, Geeky, Misc.

  

  After a long day of working, parenting, cleaning, etc, the only thing my wife and I want to do is shut our brains off.  Unfortunately that almost always involves our cell phones, and a fair amount of silence instead of “How was your day?” chatter.  Even on date nights the phones find their way into our hands between conversation and courses.  And though it hasn’t had any damage on our relationship, it would probably be [...]

   

• Turn Your Porcelain Throne Into an Iron One

  In Design, Geeky

  

  If you fancy evacuating your bowels from the the Iron Throne without all of the discomfort, then you might want to consider this tasteful vinyl wall decal. It looks great, is easy to apply and is not terribly expensive – so why not? It is available from Etsy, but may have to be marketed a little differently when HBO’s people get around to initiating the legal Kung Fu. Price: $29.99 + Shipping [Source]

   

• Photoshop Toolbar Tattoo [Pic]

  In Geeky

  

  Want to show your appreciation for one of the most overpriced pieces of software in the world? Getting a Photoshop toolbar tattoo is one way to do it. I am not exactly sure what the whole flowery background has to do with Adobe’s favorite cash cow, but it does tie the whole tattoo together to a certain extent. I wonder what it will look like 20 years from now. [Source]
