Illustration: Unicorns On Computer Paper

If you grew up in the '80s like I did, you remember the huge green and white striped computer paper with perforated holes on the side. My father was a computer programmer and a geek way before it was cool. I remember him bringing home stacks of that paper from his office, and I used it for my drawin ...
Potterheads: Huge Harry Potter Cake With Special Effects

Potterheads: Huge Harry Potter Cake With Special Effects

Ya'll are going to think I'm really strange when I tell you this, but I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. The reason why is really quite simple. Since I'm on the Internet all day every day, and since every time one of those movies comes out there is a flood of posts about it, I feel like I've alre ...
Woah! Enormous Sand Drawings On The Beach

Woah! Enormous Sand Drawings On The Beach

It seems the beach inspires many artists. Since a lot of us grew up making sand castles, I suppose it only makes sense. After I saw the pictures in Richard's article entitled 18 Astonishing Star Wars Sand Sculptures, I didn't think I would see sand art again that would impress me. That is pretty muc ...

Yeah, I've officially seen it all now. Well, maybe not, but that's the first thought that came to my head when I saw these Mac and PC mouse belt buckles.

Geektastic: Millennium Falcon Bass Guitar That Works

Geektastic: Millennium Falcon Bass Guitar That Works

I remember back around the beginning of 2010, there were pictures of a Millennium Falcon bass guitar making the rounds on the Internet. It wasn't a real guitar. It was made to look like a real bass guitar, but you couldn't actually play it. That's cool and all, but true Star Wars geeks know that in ...
Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built

Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built

I remember back when Richard wrote about this rooftop pool because the way it was built made it look like you could swim right over the edge and plummet to your death. Putting that pool on top of a skyscraper right in the middle of the city made for a fantastic view, and I wouldn't mind taking a swi ...
Steampunk Animal Trophies: A Valuable Recycling Lesson

Steampunk Animal Trophies: A Valuable Recycling Lesson

It's always strange to me whenever I see stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall in someone's home. I know that to a hunter, killing a deer, for example, might be considered a big victory. Having his head cut off and mounted on a piece of wood to display as a trophy is a symbol of the hunter's skil ...

The Yoda Baby Hat: Wear or Wear Not

Aww Star Wars baby cosplay! Ok, maybe not. All I know is I want one of these for myself. I wonder if I could stretch this tiny hat onto my big head, hmmm that might be a challenge.

Eyes That Tell Stories: A Creative Look At Famous Eyes

If you are like a lot of people online, you are skeptical about whether or not these photographs below are of real eyes.

Photography: The Role Of Genetics In Our Appearance

Photography: The Role Of Genetics In Our Appearance

I've often heard that if you want to know what a girl will look like when she gets older, look at her mother because she'll look very similar. Do you think that is true? It isn't true for me. My own mother is naturally stick thin with very curly black hair. I am not super skinny, and I have naturall ...

Minimalistic vs. Over The Top Transformers 3 Posters

I guess you could say I am not really up-to-date with movies lately, at least the ones that were just released. I especially mean Transformers 3. I have been gearing up to watch that badboy for a while now, and I even made some inquiries in regards to its awesomeness on my Twitter. The reply was, we ...
