25 Geek Cakes We Want To Eat

SlipperyBrick painfully reminds me of what a loser I am with its latest list of geeky goodness. More importantly it reminds me that I’m a loser who’ll never get a chance to eat these desserts. Conner Flynn has comprised a list of 25 geeky cakes he feels were cleverly made to fit into his belly, all the while my belly remains emptier than a disco club in 2004.

Among many in the list are some familiar ones you may have seen before such as the iPhone cupcakes, some Star Wars cakes, the infamous LEGO Batman cake and the uber elaborate Super Mario Bros. wedding cake. Of course, I post the picture of the Enterprise’s bridge because I’m a Trekkie. Don’t bust my nuts about it.

DIY: Powerbook Arcade

Who would’ve thought an old Apple Powerbook and a trip to IKEA would be all it takes to create a sweet home arcade. Frederic Sebton took apart his old Powerbook and mounted the monitor and guts inside an IKEA side table, with the screen showing up through a hole cut out of the top of the table. After mounting an arcade style joystick in the cabinet’s drawer,  Sebton created a fun-filled MAME cabinet.

He provides his own step-by-step instructions on his approach to crafting your very own MAME cabinet to entertain yourself and your guests.  Just dig up your old laptop you never use, shove it inside a wooden cabinet and voila! Gaming goodness for the whole family.
