The story is simple but almost unbelievable:

In the mid-90’s, during an auction from an old school, I purchased 3 metal lockers and to my surprise one of them held a real, full size articulated skeleton,” he says. “For years I had it displayed in one of the rooms in my studio and I often wondered what else I could do with it. Finally the idea came to me to explore the idea of disassembling the skeleton and rearranging the bones, and from that process came the series ‘Stop the Violence.’

The result is amazing art by Francois Robert a Swiss photographer.

If you have story tellers in the team the scope of the site obviously broadens. If it weren’t for Kevin’s Alien Vs. Pooh entry I would have hesitated posting this. But it’s Friday evening. And my sources all are drunk. Trolling /b/ and sending me the stupidest links in IM.

I’m spending the evening with a Russian skank, AKA as vodka. Hey, I’m not coding so no gin for me tonight!

And it’s about Calvin & Hobbes.

And it’s a mashup. We love mashups here at FG. Did I mention Winnie The Pooh already?

Winnie The Pooh Vs. Calvin and Hobbes.

Maybe now the woman who answers Vic-20 when I say C64 will stop teasing me for my Leia Star Wars love.

Update: I wrongly credited Robin for the Alien Vs. Pooh story, as he fairly pointed out in the comments, but that’s what happens when you have two awesome writers and it’s Friday evening.

Yesterday evening I received an email like at least 10 others every day. The subject was Love the site! and of course we are pleased whenever we get a similarly titled email but usually… they are bait and the email sender wants something from you whenever the subject is a highly emotional expression of love. Of course I was right in my judgement of the email subject:

We listed your site in our “General Pop Culture” category. Just hoping you might be interested in linking back to us. If you do, let me know, and I’ll upgrade your listing to be “featured” – which will make it more visible in the directory for sure.

Also, if you register on our site (free, of course) let me know your username, and I’ll hook your account to your listing – so you can edit your listing, add a Youtube video, RSS feed etc.

But there was something about this email. First let me tell you that I get at least 15-20 emails every day of people who think their stuff is cool enough to be listed on FG (14-19 are PR agencies looking for some love on some 3000 or more sites). But there was something about the email. Something more than a site owner asking for a link and some promotion. Something… Star Wars. I should have known better but against better judgement I decided to mark the email as unread and said to myself that I would visit the site before going to bed.

Actually I managed to finish work rather early yesterday and around 01.30AM I was about to hit the pillow. I had even caught up with V. This was going to be my early night of the month. Boy was I wrong.

GalacticBinder.com, Star Wars Directory and news. Of course the first thing I did was check out our own listing in the category Pop Culture. Now let me tell you that if as a site owner you place ForeverGeek next to Den of Geek and Empire Online, you are doing everything right in my little book. You make my day. But what about lightsabers?

Geeks and basement dwellers nerds united, yes you heard that right! Princess Leia washing your car. Or in other words:

G4 Organizes Star Wars Charity car-wash and all you get are pics of Princess Leia Wannabes!

That’s for all those of yours who have never seen this picture of Princess Leia and double sunbathing on set or those youngsters among you who think that Carrie Fisher is too old.

The whole concept of a charitable car wash operation was of course brilliant and commendable and even better because it involved Star Wars. Of course we would all want to have our car washed by Princess Leia. Girls, Star Wars fans and in bikini… washing your car!

The Force was with G4 this past weekend as we joined with the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, the 501st Legion and Playmate Sara Jean Underwood to host the Star Wars Charity Car Wash in Hollywood. Money was raised for a good cause and people had their cars and space cruisers washed by an army of soapy wet slave Leias, Stormtroopers and one Playboy Bunny (who we’re pretty sure has ties to the Rebel Alliance).

So without any further ado, here are your wet geek dreams come true. In colour. Online. With Princess Leia.

The life of a geek sometimes is really simple, isn’t it? Take some popular geek meta: laptops, USB, LEGO and Rubik’s. Now throw them all together and make one thing out of this.

Rubik’s you said? Which one? 2×2? 3×3? I guess most of you still struggle with that 3×3, right?

Let’s speak business then today: what about a 4×4 Cube or a 5×5 even? Sweating? Woser!

Trust me, they really aren’t that hard to solve. All you need are some LEGO skills. And some programming skills. Now I have to warn you: LEGO Technics. Of course that excludes all Mac Nerds who preferred to go with the Fisher-Price of computers. Next you’ll have to build a robot with your LEGO bricks.

Something like the Stair Climber. But not a stair claimber. A LEGO Technics robot to solve your cube. Read the rest of this entry »

This is the best T-shirt you’ll see all day long and we already had some really ace tees here at ForeverGeek but this one beats’em all. At least for today. Remember the main rule: Zombie shirts rule’em all!.

This time though, things get better than 51Undead.

Here at ForeverGeek news aren’t our top priority, there are already enough sites taking care of that. What we do though is report about cool stuff we find on ‘tinternetz. Cool internet iz cool.

When the whole world and there three nephews were still discussing Disney’s acquisition of Marvel, we brought you Marvel Land in Dubai. That’s how we roll. And how we continue to roll.

Another thing to cool not to report is “Epic Misney” by John T. Campbell.

The ultimate Marvel-Disney cross-over.

Picture stolen without authorization, but THIS, this we consider NEWSWORTHY! And you should go ahead and buy your print from T Campbell!

Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.

Still, there are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively.

Finding a cure for cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.

First you’ll need something like this.

You’ll also need some sheep… Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know how I’ve missed this so far but then again I only started writing here again, right? So even news which isn’t too old still is totally fresh, got it?!

Ok. Twitwee. Sounds like Gary Vaynerchuck’s whatever online social media projects or something like that but it’s lots better. Of course it’s all about Twitter but there are no celebrities involved, even no geek celebrities on twitter.

So what is it then? TV?

Wrong again. It’s a Twitter Cuckoo Clock.

The Twitwee Clock is a modified Cuckoo Clock that wirelessly connects to the internet and constantly checks for new status updates or search results received from the Twitter API. New Tweets are displayed on the built in display in near-realtime accompanied by the charming yet obtrusive call of a mechanical cuckoo poping out of the clock.

Visit the project page for more info: www.haroonbaig.com.

Now if all you think about the Twitwee clock is WTF!?, let me assure you that your thinking is way too shallow. Remember the Twittering washing machine? Indeed, now you even won’t have to check your ‘laundry’s done Twitter account’ anymore.

In technical language for n00bs it’s called ‘Optimising the workflow‘.

Sometimes you just have to admit that you’re doing it totally wrong. I never thought it would happen to my beloved ForeverGeek but it seems that the day has come.

When you search a popular geek site for Banksy and your query returns you zero results, you know you’ve done it all wrong.

No.results.at.all. Zero, zilch, noppes, nada, null.

Of course our task as a great bunch of helpful geeks should now be to link you up with the necessary links to Banksy’s homepage and Wikipedia entry but we are not going to do that. We all know how that ends. When was last time you visited Wikipedia and 20 minutes later you had actually left the public encyclopaedia or did still remember why you visited the reference work?

Hey, you! Stop editing my entry! Read the rest of this entry »

Artist Mark Bennet has several prints of maps of the house of TV Series stars up for sale. Interesting or boring, I don’t know. The jury’s still out on that one but a map of the House of The Jetsons or the Bruce Wayne Mansion is always welcome here and we here at FG obviously take the task up to highlight these works.

More blueprints at Mark Bennet’s online gallery.

I admit it, that title could be influenced by the early Friday morning whiskey after the iPad Bling, but still it is the first thing this abso-frakkin-lutely gorgeous house made me think of.

I bet I need to find some more Spongebob references for this post but to be honest, sometimes it’s just better when I shut up and let you enjoy the beauty of this Nautilius Shell house.

The house was built in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica for a couple from Mexico City, with two kids. Apparently they wanted to feel one with nature and live more in harmony, integrated in nature.
Whatever they were on, I want double! Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve seen it all already here. Or at least I have and really would love to add the Foxtrot part to the title but instead, this is one of those moments when you just think ‘Whiskey Ta… Yes, make it a double Lagavulin please. No rocks, don’t water my stuff down!‘

You think here at ForeverGeek we haven’t seen a thing yet? Really?

What about those BlingVaders? Or the shark tattoo stump? So… Yeah we’ve seen it all and be happy that we save you of all the yawnsers that land in our inbox day after day.

But sometimes there’s a true WTF moment we just have to share with you and this is one of these. We all love our iPads we don’t have or can’t afford yet, so of course we tell you how to win an iPad, just because we are that good to you, but even we have our doubts sometime. And after seeing this, I really have my second thoughts on whether I want an iPad or not.

I’ll leave the bashing to you guys, I just found a perfect reason to hit the Whiskey before 11:00 AM.

Probably when I told you yesterday that I’m a big fan of video art and Bill Viola, you lifted your shoulder and thought ‘So what’. But little did you know what was coming.

I really hope you like awesome animation, especially stop-motion video as much as I do because I will post you every cool video I find. Run or instead, enjoy the awesome art that stop-motion video can be.

Today’s video is not only awesome animation but also has the abso-frakkin-lutely perfect soundtrack in the tunes of Radiohead’s “All I Need”.

The artist: Juan José López.

The story: watch it, it’s awesome and with lots of WTF!? moments.

We here at ForeverGeek are big tattoo fans and urgently need more ink ourselves. And before you say something… no I’m not the only one here who post about tattoos.

So I have something to admit. I love maps. Awesome maps are awesome.
When recently my attention was drawn to this gorgeous whole back world map tattoo I wondered what more cool maps people had inked on their body and the result was not bad at all.

The whole world, tattooed over both feet is a great concept and it looks ace. Too bad that Britain is barely visible and Eurasia and Africa need both feet. An ace tattoo though and personally I wouldn’t mind if my girl friend had a similar one. Read the rest of this entry »
