LEGO 3D Scanner: Bringing Real Objects Into A 3D World!
I have many times wondered how LEGO came to be. Someone must have been dying to be able to put together really complex builds and decided to create some tools to do it.

Lipstick Enigma: A Lipstick Installation of Geeky Goodness
In my opinion, there are two separate and distinct types of girl geeks in the world (maybe even more).
