Fans of Chaos;Head will surely remember the pink-haired 2D wife of a certain delusional otaku, Seira Orgel. Although there were a variety of Seira figures shown in the anime, none of them actually existed until now.

Late this year, Wave will be releasing the first PVC figure of Seira. It will be 1/7 scale (according to Seira’s [...]

I love seeing new concepts for people making music together, particularly those who aren’t trained in music composition or theory and for who more traditional instruments would be quite difficult to engage with.

So the HARP (Harmony and Acoustic Research Project) — which would see these interesting circular desks and seating placed in inner city parks [...]

This may not be super advanced technology but there’s still something a bit geeky about this pitcher design.

It comes with a little mallet, much like that found on a xylophone, which allows the user to know how much water (if any) is in the jug based on the tones made by the hammer when it [...]

This amazing little LEGO Mindstorms robot has been programmed to solve a Sudoku puzzle and to write the missing figures in.

As you might imagine, it’s quite a complex procedure that involves scanning the digits already present and working out which squares are blank.

Still regressing here, back to my teenage years if not my childhood.

Yesterday saw the release of New Mutants #4, the conclusion of the first arc in the series, and I have to say I am suitably impressed. We have seen the return of Legion to the X-Men fold, Cannonball leading the team and already butting [...]

Check out this little fellow, a “walking machine” (he/she/it doesn’t have a name) designed, built and in ongoing development by Drew.
“Created for entertainment purposes. It is made to dance and entertain people at conventions and parties.”

I feel like I’m having a second childhood. Again.

Do you know how Tetris, Arkanoid, Pong, Super Mario and Sonic were created?
Amusement Magazine has the answer, it seems, with some stunning high resolution imagery of the fixtures and fittings required for each game.

I guess someone was going to put this kind of chart together one day, and Information is Beautiful has found this collaboration by Starbucks and Calorie Counter.

Those of you who have been following this year’s International Saimoe League (ISML) will know that we are now entering the final week of the regular season. If you aren’t familiar with the ISML, it’s an annual competition where people from around the world can vote on which anime girl they think it the most [...]

Not a lot released this week on the Big Two’s events. Blackest Night – Superman #1, the conclusion of the Dark Reign: Mr Negative mini and the penultimate issue of Dark Reign: The Hood.
I have to comment that the first two really didn’t grab me a lot. In Blackest Night – Superman we see [...]

When Cloak and Dagger were revealed as members of the (Dark) X-Men, my initial reaction was ‘Huh?’
They are favourite characters of mine, and have been ever since their first appearance all those years ago in the Spider Man titles. In fact, they soon became my main reason for reading the Spider-Man titles, I never [...]

Here’s a great little Flash tool, particularly if you have a fairly distinct name, that will show you interesting tidbits and build a line of categories that you fit in to — according to the Internet.
Putting in “John Smith” might not get you a very personalized result, but it’s quite interesting to see what comes [...]

Of course, as a true geek you already know Pi to at least 88 decimal places, but what could be better than combining pizza (food staple) and a dish with the hallowed number on it?

Enter the Pizza Pi Plate (get it?).

When you’re worried about losing two small Apple products — namely the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle and the Apple Remote — then this hack is for you.

The two devices have a similar shape, so were disassembled and then the iPod’s circuit board was connected up to the Apple Remote’s buttons.

With the upcoming fifth season of Supernatural soon due, I was attracted to Marvels offering of Ghost Riders: Heavens On Fire, purely on the title. I haven’t been following Ghost Rider these last few years despite being an avid fan in the nineties, and I can tell I need to go diving in the [...]
