Best Tree Topper Ever?
It’s that time of year: time to string up the lights, deck the halls, and all that jazz. So when you’re picking out the family tree (or putting together the artificial — hey, no judgment here, my family uses a fake every year) and considering the most optimum placement of your decorations, I humbly submit what may be the geekiest tree topper of all time: Master Yoda.

Revolving Doors Of Heaven
Well, now we have seen what we all knew to be the case, Johnny Storm the fabled Human Torch is alive and well. Not that we couldn’t see that coming, but I am pleasantly surprised as to how the youngest of the original Foursome was able to survive. Of course, if you have read Fantastic Four #600, then you will know that survived is a very strong term. If you haven’t, I won’t spoil it for you, except to say GO READ IT! I am pleased (and somewhat disappointed) to see that I was wrong, assuming that Lyja was going to pull Johnny’s fat out of the fire. (I’m sure Read more »
Illustrations for Nerds in Love
Who says nerds cannot fall in love? Why not? Nerds are human, after all. This is probably what artist Nicole Martinez had in mind when she designed some illustrations to cater to nerds in love. The artist is based in Boston, MA, and she has taken elements from different branches of science to come up with her posters for nerds in love. WARNING: Sloppiness left and right, up and down! Now that you have been warned, let’s take a look at some of the illustrations. You do not need to know much about the atom to get the idea behind this illustration. Now if your partner (imaginary or otherwise) has Read more »

This is How You Do a Video Game Movie
Half-Life: Origins will be the best two minutes of your day. Maybe your whole week. It makes Hollywood’s big-budget movie adaptations of video games look like pretentious nonsense. (That’s right, Prince of Persia, I’m looking at you…) Read more »
Atomic and Microscope Pendants: Christmas Gift Ideas
It’s never too early to get your Christmas shopping done, especially if some of my friends can be believed. As usual, I have not gotten around to it, but something caught my eye today, and maybe you’ll be interested in these geeky accessories that will do any male or female proud. Last year, I discovered Boutique Academia for the first time, and I fell in love with their pendants. I still am yearning for the Pi pendant and the Fibonacci pendant, and I can only hope that I have been a good enough girl so that Santa will pay me a visit this year. If you liked those pendants, you Read more »

Kinect 2
We already know that Microsoft is hard at work on its third-generation Xbox as we speak. And it goes without saying that that console will come with Kinect technology built in. Today, a report is circulating that suggests this “Kinect 2″ will be able to do some downright astonishing things. Read more »
DNA Plushies for the Science Geek
Who doesn’t like plushies? They are, after all cute and cuddly, and they can serve so many purposes. Even though you may be an adult, plushies can still be fun. And they are even more fun when they represent something geeky, aren’t they? Having a teddy bear when you 20 plus or 30 plus is one thing, but having a set of these DNA plushies is a whole different thing. I discovered these DNA plushies on Kickstarter, and I just knew I had to post about them. (Aside: I do love Kickstarter!) The project of Jun Axup, the DNA plushies are not only cute and come in different colors, but Read more »
