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 ...
Screw Art: Stunning Approach To Making Portraits
I am really a sucker for odd art it seems. I tend to get moderately excited about even when getting a peek at the real Mona Lisa, but when I suddenly come across something with a little more... well, geek in it, I turn into a true art fan. It's weird really if you ask me. I always tend to enjoy look ...
Book Tower: 30,000 Books Makes For A Mighty Sight
I almost don't know anyone anymore who has a lot of books at home. It's like as soon as we started to get those digitalized books on our computers, we stopped stocking up on regular books. As a matter of fact, we took them out of our homes completely. The question is really, what did we do with them ...
Woman Discovers How To Live Happily Without Any Money
What does it mean to be rich? Does it mean that a person has a lot of money? Does it mean having a big house with a lot of things in it? I know people who have an abundance of money, but their health isn't good. To me, that's not rich. There are also people who are completely broke but in perfect he ...
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 ...
Action Figures: Customized To Look Like Close Friends
Dr. Jesse Weiss is the Associate Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of the Ozarks. If you look at his picture on the school website, he looks like an ordinary guy.

Geektastic Collection Of Star Wars Inspired Party Foods
I'm in the mood to throw a Star Wars party for all my Twitter friends. Wouldn't that be fun? If only I could teleport all of us to the same room, heck, even the same country, we could make it happen. I read an article once about a guy who traveled all around the world to visit the friends he made on ...
12 Images Of This Giant Pin Art Installation Makes You Go Absolutely Pin Up
Check out this pin art installation! It's one of those epic gadgets (or toys rather) that we have all, at some point, toyed with. We used to press our hands, a glass, or whatever we could towards those pins to make a cool pattern on the other side. I am, of course, talking about the pin art gadget t ...
Elegant Gown Created From Recycled Plastic Bottles
Back in 2009 when we first started writing about recycled designs, I'll admit that most of them, although they were all fabulous, looked very homemade if you know what I mean. Now, two years later, the recycled designs we see are very different. Creating things with renewable resources is becoming a ...
Disaster Survival Nerd Robo Shelter
While the world is utterly upside down, and we have disasters going on pretty much everywhere and seemingly all the time, maybe it is time we start thinking about how to better keep ourselves safe. It's evident that we are not prepared for everything that might happen, and time and time again we se ...
Ghana’s eWasteland: Living On The Legacy Of The Digital World
The shocking pictures below by Andrew McConnell were taken at the Agbogbloshie dump in Accra, Ghana. It's a place where much of the discarded computer equipment and other electronics from the United States, Europe and other countries ends up. Over 3,000 people live here, in the slums, and they make ...
The Age Of The UnPrinter
It's amazing how much we depend on our printer these days. It's the backbone of every business. Most of our dealings, business and knowledge were shared by this groundbreaking invention when it first came out as a matrix printer. Back then it was all about pixel line-by-pixel line printing, which wa ...
12 Bird Nests In Unusual Places: Get Inspired By Nature
I've always had a soft spot for bird nests and the baby birds that the mamas take care of inside those nests. I've written before about Tweet-Tweet, my childhood pet. Tweet-Tweet was a wild sparrow that I rescued after he fell out of his nest. After he was strong again, I tried to let him go back in ...
Transformers: The 2,000 Pound Bumblebee Vanilla Cake
It's always so much fun to see artists get inspired by the release of new movies. Yesterday I wrote about the stop-motion animations director who recreated the entire Cars 2 movie trailer in Lego. That was the result of several months of hard work, all inspired by a movie.
Another artist, a famou ...
Cars 2: The Entire Trailer Recreated In Lego
In just a few days, Cars 2 will be released here in the States. I know most people are fans of Lightning McQueen, but Mater was always my favorite. This new movie focuses more on him and his little adventures, so I have no doubt I'll like it. The only question for me is whether or not I'll see it in ...
