Popfunk is a t-shirt design company with a particular geek appeal; even as I write this intro I can see designs for I Dream of Jeanie, Labyrinth and Batman tees decorating the front page. There’s even an Axe Cop section. We plotted – what might Popfunk be able to offer that might interest our savvy […]
Steampunk Octopus and the fire rampage
This video is from Burning Man. Half of what I see from Burning Man makes me want to go there. I must be there. There are engineering geeks burning things – awesome. The other half of me… well, that’s not my scene. It’s worth noting that this is real. People made this fire and metal […]
Daleks versus Turtle
Not sure what to say about this YouTube discovery. I know enough not to say “Just when you’ve seen everything” – I know that’s not going to happen. There’s more to see. I hope this dalek assult on the turtle isn’t cruel. It’s hard to tell. Certainly the turtle didn’t seem to be bothered. It […]
Geek car stickers
There are some car stickers that are just bad. They’re either dull or perhaps try and broadcast some personal information to the world. However, there are a few car decal stickers – or decals, if you want to use the crafty term – that are ace. Rather than trying to tell the world that pray […]
Making a Fallout Pip-boy out of an Android Phone
This Pip-boy is pretty cool. It’s pretty advanced – well; it does plenty. It may not do everything but it sure does a lot for a Pip-Boy 3000. I think the most cool aspect of this design is that it makes use of an HTC Desire HD. That’s a good use of Android tech. Could […]
LEGO Predator
Lego engineer Shawn Synder has a history of building great Predator sculptures so do check out the full collection. The image below shows his latest work and I think it looks fantastic. I don’t know the Lego bricks he used for the tendrils but it’s hard to imagine how he could have done better!
The Shadow’s iPad ad
I was lucky enough to watch Dave Gorman’s PowerPoint presentation during the Edinburgh Festival. Like Geek Native readers he is a creature of the internet. This is a good thing. In the presentation we get to look at a poster ad for Apple’s iPad. I don’t want to spoil the show – it’s on tour, […]
Lego gunblade
Remember Cloud’s Squall’s famous gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. Pretend for a minute that it would work – a gun that’s also a sword! Fantastic! What a clever idea. If you’re willing to pretend that the gunblade design would work then it’s not that much more of a stretch to imagine that, well, a home […]
Six Geeky Facebook Pages to Like

Nihon Buyo dancing robot is the cutest
Okay, this blogger doesn’t really know whether this cute little robot is really dancing Nihon Buyo style – but he is having a go at traditional Japanese dancing. In fact, his routine is described as the Lion dance. I’m going with Nihon Buyo as a style because it was designed for the theatre, involves some […]
