We live in an ever increasing digitally driven world. And with this lifestyle, outdated technologies are left at the wayside to make room for ever expanding advances.

DIY Star Trek Cat Tree Is Inspired By USS Enterprise & Romulans
I remember last year when someone built a Star Trek Cat Tree that went viral. It was everywhere. That thing was so awesome that I bet some people wanted to get a cat just so they would have an excuse to get that cat tree. Today I'd like to share another Star Trek cat tree with you, and this one is e ...
3D Printed Star Trek Figures Personalized With Your Head
A month ago we wrote about a service that lets you 3D print your head on a stormtrooper figure. It was a great way to feel the force. Star Trek fans don't need to feel left out though because there is also a way trekkies can get their own heads 3D printed on top of a Star Trek figure. To make this f ...
Trekkie Builds Geeky Soapbox Starship Enterprise Racer In His Backyard
Whenever I think of a trekkie, I think of Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Nimoy. For some reason, those two names always come to mind.

David Bowie’s Space Oddity Played In Space Is Remarkable [Video]
High above the surface of the earth, between 330 km (205 mi) and 435 km (270 mi), orbited a wonder of human exploration. Completing 15.7 orbits each day, the International Space Station was a marvel that could be seen from earth under the right conditions. Once again, it is social media that has bro ...
Spock Versus Spock Will Entertain You Until The Next Star Trek Film
"It's life Jim, but not as we know it." Okay, so this line wasn't actually in Star Trek, but I bet you that when you read it, you read it in the voice of Spock. Am I right? Star Trek has been a cornerstone memory of my generation, and it endures even till this day. It has become somewhat of a cult c ...
The Star Trek Medical Tricorder Inches Closer To Becoming A Reality
If you are a trekkie, which a lot of our readers are, you probably know that in Star Trek there are three main types of tricorders. One is a standard tricorder used to scan unfamiliar places and collect data, one is an engineering tricorder used for engineering purposes on the ship, and the last one ...
Invisibility Cloak Technology Inches Closer To Becoming A Reality
Reading about invisibility cloak technology is a bit like reading about hologram technology. It's something we are all waiting to happen, but since it's so complex and on the edge of what our current technology is capable of, it feels like it's inching along. Each bit of progress is like a huge mile ...
DIY Google Glass-Like Gadget Could Be An Alternative To The Real Thing
When Google Glass comes out, will you pay $1,500 or a little less for it? A couple days ago on the Project Glass Google+ page, they announced that Google Glass would be compatible with prescription glasses, which could open the door for a lot more people to try them. If you like the idea of Google G ...
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 ...

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. ...
Star Trek Characters & Aliens As Imagined By Pixar
Recently Phil Postma created some truly original Star Trek artwork in the style of a Pixar animated feature. I find the concept actually kind of exciting as it revitalizes the original series in a new medium. If you are a fan of the series, you know there was a short abortive attempt to turn Star Tr ...
The Big Bang Theory Secrets: What You Don’t Know About This Geeky Show
Amy Farrah-Fowler: I want you to kiss me where I’ve never been kissed before.
Sheldon: Like Salt Lake City?
Do you watch The Big Bang Theory? I didn’t. For a long time. I tend to avoid ‘noisy shows’ – not because ‘they are so loud,’ but more because of all the hype. Which is why I still don’t ...
