The Best Super Mario Birthday Party Ever
Wow, I can't think of a better way to be sure your child grows up to be a well round geek than to throw him or her a Mario themed birthday party. I've read about Mario parties before, but this one has to be the most elaborate, creative one yet, and it's definitely in a class of its own. As a matter ...
Medieval Avengers: A Wicked Collection Of Fantasy Paintings
Artists seem to be truly inspired by The Avengers. Even though that movie has been out for a while now, I keep finding new incarnations every day it seems. It reminds me a little of when the last Tron movie was released. Right around that time, there were so many Tron-inspired designs created as a r ...

Humans vs. Computers: Which One Is Smarter [Infographic]
For decades, computers have slowly been inching their way into our daily lives. That is no surprise to anyone, and we've written about it many times. One interesting part of it all to me though is how some computers are starting to take on human characteristics. I've read before that human beings wi ...
Chalkboard Pad: A Nostalgic Design Inspired By The New iPad
I remember back when Apple announced that their next big product launch was going to be called the "iPad." Immediately everyone started making fun of that name, and all kinds of product spoofs immediately hit the Internet. We all giggled and wondered why Apple picked such a lame name. Now, a few yea ...

How To Cat-Proof Your Computer [Infographic]
Omg, it is so funny to me that 97% of cat owners say their cat has deleted something by walking across the keyboard. Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe your cat is deleting files on purpose? I've always thought cats have access to some parallel universe, and if aliens are watching us, I'm ...
Geeky Mom Creates Star Wars AT-AT From Diaper Boxes
Ahh... Here we go again with another wonderfully odd creation inspired by the beloved AT-AT. When it comes to AT-ATs, or Star Wars in general, there is no end to the inspiration and creative energy that surrounds it, so I expect that we'll be writing about these kinds of things for a long time to co ...

Then & Now: Kids In 1982 vs. Kids In 2012 [Infographic]
Yesterday I wrote about a retro Atari commercial that's at least 30 years old (Atari turns 40 this year). I watched that and laughed at how different things were back then. Even in that video clip, which is only a little over a minute long, you can get a feel for how different our lifetstyle was bac ...
DIY Princess Leia Robe: So Easy Even A Wookie Could Make It
This is so freaking smart, why didn't I think of that? Do you have a brown hoodie and a white bathrobe at your house? If you do, you got yourself a Princess Leia robe; you just didn't know it! This is so simple, and it looks like it took about an hour to make (or less). It's super duper easy yet bri ...
That’s How We Used To Do It Kids: A Retro Atari T.V. Commercial
If you were a geeky kid in the '80s, you probably remember playing Atari games. I can still remember the very first time I was introduced to a video game, and it was on an Atari. When I was a little girl, I used to sit in my red beanbag chair and play Frogger and Centipede for hours. Those old games ...
Creative iPhone Amp Made With Recycled Paper
Do you ever have trouble hearing music when it's played through your iPhone speakers? I usually use earbuds when I'm listening to music on my iPhone, but I know some people prefer not to use those. If you've ever thought, "It would sure be nice to have a handy little amp to attach to my iPhone, but ...

A Blogger’s Refresher Course In English Grammar [4 Infographics]
I'm a real stickler when it comes to proper English grammar and punctuation. That doesn't mean I'm good at it, it just means it matters a lot to me. I'm constantly learning about it, and I read tons of articles on the topic. There was one article I read about a year ago (I wish I could remember wher ...
The Leafy Tunnel Of Love: A Natural Beauty You Have To See
Of all the designers that exist in the world, the mother of them all is Mother Nature herself. Sometimes when I see the beauty in the world around us, it takes my breath away. The crazy thing is, as much as we might struggle to create something unique, nature seems to do it effortlessly and with all ...

Etsy’s Growth May Surprise You: The Facts & Stats [Infographic]
I love it when the underdog surprises everyone and comes up from behind for a victory. Whether it's a person we know, a superhero from a movie, or even a website, it's always inspiring and motivating to see that when it happens. It teaches us a valuable lesson about underestimating the little guys. ...
The Fabulous Lego Handbag You’ll Want To Carry Every Day
Most of the time when we write about Lego fashions, they are outrageous designs that we would never actually wear. Although these Lego wigs, Lego stilettos and Lego dresses are so geeky they make me giddy, I don't think I'd wear any of them, would you? They would be fun to display, but that's about ...
Starry Night’s Swirling Clouds Recreated With 7,000 Dominos
Being an inspiring and successful artist must be bittersweet since the impact of an artist's work many times isn't accurately measured until years after he or she is gone. This is definitely the case with Vincent van Gogh. He died when he was only 37 years old, which was in 1890. Even today, over 10 ...
