I can die happy now. Warner Bros. and LEGO have partnered to create a line of brand new LEGO sets based on next year’s The Hobbit — and legacy sets based on The Lord of the Rings. Read more »
The Dark Side of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mean many things to different people, but I do know that while I was growing up, most of my classmates were always talking about “people” like Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael. Growing up in a household where TV was a no-no, I simply thought that they were talking about the great artists. Well, until they started talking about Splinter and mentioned turtles. One thing I know for sure – those turtles are worlds apart from these renditions I have just seen. And while kids back then thought that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of their day kicked butt, I am pretty sure that no one Read more »

Women Superheroes Get Together for Breast Cancer Awareness
The month for breast cancer awareness has come and gone, but it does not mean that we cannot continue to engage in activities to support the cause, does it? DDB Mozambique, an advertising agency, has done an excellent job in getting the attention of people who might otherwise not pay much thought to the fight against breast cancer. What they did was to create posters featuring women superheroes conducting self-examination. Don’t worry! This is totally safe for work! The advertising agency has chosen the perfect subjects to use for their campaign. After all, no one can deny that most women superheroes are not only endowed with awesome powers. They are Read more »
NYC Gets Pranked Companion Cube
It’s something of a tradition for New York City’s Astor Place Cube, aka Alamo — the giant cube sculpture balanced on one corner that’s been seen in numerous movies and music videos — to get pranked, as it’s in close proximity to New York University. Today it was transformed into a Portal Companion Cube by the Caltech Prank Club. Read more »
Picks Of The Month
While preparations for the festive season no doubt eat into every spare moment, the opportunity to sit and read the weekly pull list becomes rather segmented. So this week, I thought I would review many of the titles being released this week, and maybe recommend some titles for those quiet moments once the festivities have died down and all that remains to do is digest the food. (Oh, and no doubt wash up, but that can wait.) The first of today’s shipping is Memoir #5. I have already written of how much I love this series, and now we are swiftly approaching the conclusion. It feels like it has been Read more »
Wooden QR Code Sculpture
QR codes are the new barcodes, and they have gotten popular rather quickly. From QR codes in tombstones to QR code tattoos – I thought we’d seen them all. Apparently, I was wrong. I just discovered a really cool wooden QR code sculpture, which says a lot about its creator, German artist Elena Belmann. Forget about your usual 2D black and white QR code. Why would you want that when you can have a 3D structure made of wood? Seen from the top, this wooden QR code sculpture resembles the QR code as we mainly know it today. It does look more 2D than 3D at first glance, I suppose. Read more »
