This piece of engineering awesomeness is over 3,000 parts and 80cm in length. The hero creator of his Starcraft 2 Banshee is Antti Hakala who has a Flickr gallery that contains even more goodness to look at. There are additional pictures here.

Van Sauron
Just when you think you’ve seen the one mashup that rules them all, another mashup pops up to take your breath away. Step forward to this Lord of the Rings meets high art mashup. Van Gogh’s Starry Night meets Peter Jackson’s Sauron. I call it Van Sauron. Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” Imagine a […]
Cthulhu slippers
Which would you rather have? Elder signs or warm feet? Those natives over at Think Geek may have solved your problem. All that you’re required to do is wear wrap Cthulhu around your toes. Oh? What’s this? You have two feet? Okay. All you have to do is have a Cthulhu on each of your […]
Road signs reveal sci-fi, Cthulhu and geeklore in every day life
Some people may think that aliens, sleeping dragons, portal generators and Cthulhu stalking the ocean play no part in our day to day lives. These people are wrong.

Larry Moss is quite some guy! He was the founder of one the first websites on the internet outside of academic circles. It was BallonHQ.com and althuogh the domainer in me can’t but help wonder if he could have done any better… it’s still shows thought leadership years ahead of almost everyone else. Larry is […]
