DIY Women’s Multi-Tool Disguised As A Tube Of Lipstick
This is the geekiest ladies multi-tool I've seen in a long time. The girl who created this badboy and uploaded it to Instructables a few days ago is of course getting some flack about it. Some people are saying it's sexist, feminist or too girly. I hope she ignores all that and knows there are a lot ...
According To Science: All Males Were Once Females (Really!)
I can't stop giggling over this. According to science, all males were once females. Bhahahaha! I'm a huge fan of the AsapScience YouTube channel, and when I went there today and read, "Dear Gentlemen, science has a confession. You were once...a female, which helps explain where your nipples came fro ...
Princess Leia Baby Robe & Hat: Let Your Baby Girl Go Geek
Who says cosplay is just for adults? Just because your baby can't talk, it doesn't mean he or she doesn't want to get in on the costume fun, especially if your baby is a fan of Star Wars. I remember when I wrote about the Yoda Baby Hat about a year ago. Do you think having a baby just to have an exc ...

Modern Communication In A Geek’s Workday [Comic]
As I logged into Skype this morning like I do almost every morning, I started thinking about how much our communication has changed over the past decade. Modern communication is completely different now than it was even a few years ago. The generation after mine is what people are calling the first ...

The Evolution Of Your Workspace From 1995 – 2015 [Comic]
Richard wrote an article the other day about the differences between how men and women use the Internet. The statistic in that article that I remember most didn't have anything to do with gender. It was the fact that most people in the civilized world can connect to the Internet with 3 different dev ...
This Is The World’s Largest Collection Of Video Game Memorabilia
I think there are a lot of people out there who love calling themselves the ultimate collector. Even the title "ultimate gamer" would carry most people through the day. But when it comes to video game memorabilia, there are few people who can boast about having the largest collection. As a matter of ...
Driverless Car Prank: Best Prank Ever For Drive-Thru Restaurants
I just wrote an article the other day about driverless cars and the car manufacturers who are working on the technology to make them a reality. According to the current statistics and predictions, by 2040, 75% of the cars on the road will be self-driving. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean we will hav ...
iPhone 5 Docking Stations That Look Like Artistic WWII Tanks
As many of you know, I have developed an affinity for unique handcrafted technology, and usually I look towards Etsy for my inspiration. However, MAC, LYNX & Nior from the artist Phu are probably the coolest, albeit expensive, iPhone 5 docking stations I have stumbled across in a very long time. ...
Darth Vader CD Player For Supreme Fans Of The Dark Lord Of The Sith
Darth Vader is our most favored Sith Lord who often tries to lure us to the dark side (also known as the Bogan or Boga by ancient Force-sensitives). The most notable villainous darksider or ruler of the New Sith Empire has put down his cookies and is instead looking to stalk your musical gallery by ...
Anatomy Of An Audio Cassette (For All The Youngins)
I know one of the first things someone is going to ask me about this article is what is a "youngin." According to the Urban Dictionary, the word youngin is country slang, and it means young people. I live in the south, and a lot of people here who use that word, so I can assure you it's alive and we ...
Train Fan Builds Life-Size Train Car In His Basement
How far would you go to satisfy and honor your fandom? For many people, it would end at a large collection or a barely healthy amount of cosplay. For a few people, fandom has become something that has pretty much taken over their lives in a sense. We have seen countless, almost apocalyptic, collecti ...

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About LEGO Minifigs [Infographic]
I am writing this article out of complete respect for the beloved LEGO minifigs that many of us grew up with. Right before I started writing this, I looked at my own minifig collection, and I realized once again how special they are. I remember the day I received each one, and what it symbolizes. Th ...
MacGyver Multitool Is The Only Tool You Will Ever Need
I don't think there has been any kid who hasn't at some point wished they were MacGyver. He's the dude who can seemingly create anything out of nothing. The cult TV series that aired from 1985 to 1992 left a lasting memory that is hard to erase, not that we would we want to erase it. MacGyver's reso ...
Vintage Action Figures From The 1978 The Lord Of The Rings Movie
The world can't seem to get enough of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic Middle Earth. It's like we always crave more, and the first movie in the prequel series of The Hobbit should stand as testament of that. The way Peter Jackson brought Middle Earth to life is almost unprecedented. From start to finish, The L ...
Hobbit Hole LEGO Build Goes Far Beyond The Realm Of The Block
I don't think anyone can deny the success of the first installation of the prequel movie series The Hobbit. It's definitely on its way to earning around $1 billion before its run at the box office is over. This has of course spawned a whole lot of interesting inspiration amongst movie geeks. Once ag ...
