The Facade Printer, created by German design group Sonice Development GmbH, is a computer-controlled paintball gun that reproduces wall-sized images on, well, walls. The printer literally shoots the images onto the wall with eagle-eye precision. Now I might be able to finish my giant mural of Zombie Spock without too much trouble. Link [via]

LEGO has made official film-branded minifigs, such as Star Wars and even Toy Story, but they have yet to delve into the world of video gaming, which is actually sort of a mystery. So what are we geeks forced to resort to? Buying custom video game minifigs created by other geeks. These gaming minifigs by assorted artists can be found with a quick search on eBay. The going rate seems to be about $15 to $20 each. Check out Donkey... Continue reading

While fleshlights and real dolls might have changed the way we looked at self-satisfaction, there’s never really been a sexually provocative product geared specifically to us geeks. And while Kasey McMahon’s self-portrait might not be the most delicate or pain-free renditions of sexual objects, it’s still a pretty blatant form of geek pr0n no matter how you look at it. Made using steel, CAT5 and other data cables, the Connected self-portrait makes our geeky hearts beat just a little faster.... Continue reading

A perfectly baked cupcake can do strange things to a man. For instance, I hadn’t thought about cupcakes in months before I saw this video and now it feels as though my one existential goal is to get a cupcake in my belly by any means necessary. If you dug this post’s headline, you’ll love the corresponding video. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. People getting shot in the face by a 120psi steampunk-style “Cupcake Cannon,” recorded for... Continue reading

You know that asshole at the office who seems to repeat everything you say just to be a douche bag? Sometimes it even seems like he’s walking in step with you. What the hell is with that guy anyway? The geniuses over at the Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in conjunction with Samsung Electronics created Mahru, the robotic version of that guy you really can’t stand. Mahru mimics your every move in real-time using motion-capturing technology. Well, at... Continue reading

As a professional blogger, I have about as much physical activity as your vacuum cleaner (not very much). I get to lounge around in my pajamas all day and read cool shit on the internet. Basically I’m everything you wish you could be. Sorry, it had to be said. Now BOW to me! But blogging doesn’t come without its hazards. For instance, do you know how many potential places I could seriously stub my toes on my way from my... Continue reading

Star Wars and Star Trek have been locked in an intrinsically geeky battle since the beginning of modern geeky times. I’ve always been way more of a Star Wars guy, as I’m sure you can clearly tell from just taking a fleeting glace at this very blog, but as a master of the science fiction arts, I have to admire both for their own respective merits. But what if the two worlds combined? Fan fiction writers have been merging the... Continue reading

There appears to be a budding Dr. Mengele in the house, though this time Gummi Bears are the victims of the heinous experimentation. The lengths at which some people are willing to go in the name of science is sickening. All these poor, innocent Gummi Bears were looking for was to be sent quietly through your digestive system. And this is how you treat them? But you know what they say, with great responsibility comes great sacrifice. These gummis are... Continue reading

Geek porn. That is exactly what this is. A cleverly devised ploy to sell as many t-shirts as possible to the geeky masses. As much as you might try to not buy in to total geek bait, it’s hard to deny the allure of Star Wars and zombies melded together on, what else, a tee. As if the founding fathers of the Imperial army weren’t already ugly enough, the Imperial Undead shirt bumps the ugliness up to 11, infecting the... Continue reading

There’s just no getting around it. Emoticons have become part of the the international vernacular. Emoticons span the language barrier and allow for coy communication across any culture. It’s amazing that we don’t find little winky faces in ancient cave paintings. The Emoticon Stamp from Kaoiro allows you to mix and match your favorite punctuation marks to create up to 2000 different custom expressions of emotion. Some people use stamps for their signatures. Us? Well let’s just say we might... Continue reading
