For some strange reason one of the most popular posts on Geek Native in recent years has been sexy Disney Princesses are Sith warriors. Perhaps it’s time to address the balance. Here are some Disney Princesses who are certainly not sexy at all. They’re blood splattered zombies and one of them is trying to eat […]
Select Sleep: The geek pillow
This is a fantastic design. Sadly, this blogger can’t currently point at who sells this or who designed it. A bit of research uncovers Cookie Thief as one of the first sites to publish the picture this year. Impress and earn geeky points if you can dig deeper by leaving a comment below.
Fan built Wall-E
Mike Senna is some sort of robot building guru. He’s responsible for a life sized, carefully researched and very functional Wall-E robot. Working on his own time, putting in 25 hours a week for two years and spending his own money, he’s been able to craft this incredible homage to Pixar’s empathic bot.
Geeky ice lollies – cute and scary
I think it’s a great idea to take some iconic characters from geek culture and turn them into ice lollies (or ice pops if you’re in the New World). That’s exactly what the Moscow-based Stoyn has done. Good? Perhaps. I need to warn you about two possible evils though. Firstly, Stoyn doesn’t usually make lollies. […]

The best Star Wars model ever? Life-sized Rancor
The Rancor monster was unfortunate enough to have Luke Skywalker, in Jedi mode, dropped into his pit by the evil Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. He’s been a fan favourite ever since.
Retro gamer fashion with Direct Blinds
UK retailer Direct Blinds have a collection of designer blinds inspired by retro games. I like these because they’re not something you see every day and feel appropriate to gaming fashion too. I’ve seen many gaming rooms that have blinds installed so the sun can be blocked from casting its evil glare on the screen […]
Sky bisons are awesome – the Appa pillow pet
Rowan at Cut out and Keep has published a fantastic step by step guide to creating your very own sky bison. One you can sit on – even if it won’t fly out into the lands of fire. Rowan was able to create this cute pillow pet in four days, working just a few hours […]
The Future Forms of Life
Theo Jansen’s kinetic sculptures, Strandbeests, have been featured on Geek Native before. I’m sure they’ll be featured again. This is an animation inspired by the Strandbeests. David Lance’s look ahead to the future and the worry that we might succeed a little too well when it comes to alternative life.
The Colors of Evil
The Colors of Evil is an impressive short animation. It’s a thesis by Phillip Simon, with Alyse Miller, done at the Ringling College of Art.
