Skintight Superhero Suits Are This Year’s Geeky Costume Craze
In recent months, a number of officially licensed superhero suits have come to market that are not like the traditional variety often seen at college and Halloween parties. You know, the kind that usually look too baggy, sport fake muscle-chests and generally just don't look as though they fit very ...
LEGO Animation: Incredible Michael Jackson Street Dance LEGO Style
What could be better to jump start your day than a fantastic LEGO animation? This one is special since it features Michael Jackson doing one of his famous dances.

Acoustic Levitation: Sound Waves Make Drug Droplets Float In Mid Air
I never heard of the phrase 'acoustic levitation' before today, but it simply refers to the use of sound waves to levitate things. In this particular case, scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have figured out a way to levitate drops of solutions which all contain pharmaceutical drugs. This is ...
Join Starfleet: Make Your Own Star Trek TNG Skant Uniform
Star Trek TNG cosplay is always one of my favorites because when it's done well, you know the Starfleet uniform is handmade and fabulous. Sure, you can purchase a Starfleet uniform (like this dress on ThinkGeek), but it's not the same. A true trekkie likes the uniform to be authentic, and I haven't ...
Apple Shoes: Vintage Apple Sneakers From The Early ’90s
Depending on how old you are, you may not remember that Apple had a whole line of clothing and accessories back in the '80s and early '90s. Some of the vintage Apple clothing ads from back then seem bizarre now since we don't associate Apple with stylish fashion unless it's a piece of tech. If you w ...

5 Ingeniously Esoteric Movie T-Shirts You’ll Want To Own
Just like high-end fashion labels, there are a variety of 'in your face' movie t-shirts on the market that scream "look at me!" by having a well-known brand plastered across the front. Examples which initially come to mind are Batman, Superman and Back to the Future logo t-shirts, and although not m ...
According To Science…Bugs Have Personalities Too
After learning about this today, I may never squash a bug again. I'm not a big bug squasher, but when it comes to roaches and mosquitoes, I'm the first to end their lives. If you would prefer to give them a pretty neat way to end their own lives, you might want to read about the Gauntlet Of Doom. It ...
Aquaman Will Not Be A Part Of The Justice League Movie Line Up
Aquaman will not be a prominent member of the Justice League movie line up. It seems that DC has yet again decided to duck under the covers and not do the right thing by their character franchises. According to Cinema Blend, the Justice League looks like it will consist of the heavy hitters: Superma ...
Video Game Controller Cufflinks Will Make Your Inner Geek Smile
I love writing about geeky men's cufflinks. There's just something about them that expresses so much personality. Unfortunately, I don't know very many men who wear cufflinks. I see women wearing men's cufflinks for fun more than men. If I was a man, I'd wear them all the time. I'd start with these ...

The Never-Ending Battle: Star Wars vs Star Trek [Infographic]
It's Monday as I am writing this, and we could all use a bit of geekiness to start off our week, right? What could be better than a little ole Star Wars vs Star Trek battle? This age old battle has been ramped up as of late when it was announced that J.J. Abrams will direct the new Star Wars movie. ...
Mummy Wrap: The Earbud Wire Organizer That Lets You Wrap A Mummy
Sometimes it feels like tangled technology wires and cords are the bane of my existence. They can be so annoying! There have been tons of creative wire organizers introduced over the past few years (we've written about a lot of them), but most of the time, they are for use at home. I don't have a pr ...
Retro Hotrod PC Case Inspired By The Christine Car From The 1983 Movie
John Carpenter is such a talented, unique movie director. "Vampires" is my favorite John Carpenter movie, but then there is also the horror movie classic "Christine" from 1983 that's also a great one. If you've never seen it, it's basically a movie about an evil car. That Christine car went on to be ...
Batmobile Monster Truck Mod: Now That’s What I Call A Truck!
Here in the south where I live, monster truck racing is a big deal. People love to take their big trucks with their huge tires out into a field to roll around in the mud until everything is filthy. I've never been a fan of monster trucks, until today. When I saw this Batmobile monster truck, all tha ...
