The Archiver is a high quality short animated sci-fi from Thomas Obrecht, Guillaume Berthoumieu and Marc Menneglier. It was done to promote Artfx.fr, a school teaching 3D computer graphics, in Montpellier in France. At times I was reminded of BSG while watching this. Then I was reminded, worried about, Portal. You’ll have to watch it […]
Lego built Gears of War Rifle features motorised saw
This is impressive. Are you a Gears of War fan? You’ll recognise this life-sized War Lancer Assult Rifle. It was built by PLUM B and is awesome This amazing gun as its own clip, a saw blade that moves and shoots elastic bands. Engineering wizardry. As a reminder; here’s the Lego brick weapon.
Doctor Who time earrings: Timey Wimey
I rather like these Doctor Who earrings. They’re wibbly wobbly, timey wimey earrings and since they’re earrings I imagine they’ll flip and flutter around as they dangle from the ears of a true Whovian fangirl. They’ll wibble and wobble. This pleases me. You can find them, of course, etsy.
Three quick and easy Doctor Who Halloween costumes
What am I saying? These aren’t Doctor Who Halloween costumes. These Doctor Who t-shirts are everyday wear. I’ve a pal who wears something similar (these are new, pre-order only at the minute) and he makes it look good; he’s tall and thin, though, the bugger. I’m short and plump. Not so sure they’d work for […]
File as cute: Wampa!
Once again we find that the Wampa is not the murderous beast that some people claim it is. Think back to this cute baby wampa or this rare wampa rug for previous examples. Okay, the rug is a little scary; and the slave Leia provoked some debates too. Anyway, lets pop over to Etsy and […]

An interview with Kevin J Anderson
A new edition of Captain Nemo: The Fantastic Adventures of a Dark Genius out and available to buy thanks to Titan Books and popular sci-fi Kevin J Anderson. Over on his blog, Kevin noted that this edition uses his preferred text. This blogger was once told that Jules Verne had a special fondness from Scotland […]
Spinal Tap, er, Spinal Tape!
This is Sparta Spinal Tape. It looks cool and funky. This will surely sell like hot cakes come Halloween and I think of a geek or three who would appreciate this. Amazon says this is “Tachion packing tape”. Confusion! What is that? It’s not “Tachyon packing tape” – although that would be impressive; time tape. […]
Ghostbusting? There’s an app for that.
An app for ghostbusting? There actually is an app for detecting ghosts, believe it or not. This decal for your iPhone goes further, though, and turns your entire phone into a ghost collection and containment system. Fine, yeah, okay… so it’s just a decal but would your average ghost want to take the risk? They’ll […]
Halloween costume of class: A female Snape’s coat
Hurray for Snape. No, really, hurray for Snape. Let’s face it; you might not be able to dress up as Snape for Halloween but I bet you know a sexy geek who might be able to! Let’s take a minute to ponder this “Female Snape Coat” from Evening Arwen. Sure; there are problems. There can’t […]
