This video is a rolling demo and timeline of a whole series of marble machines. These are simple in theory – a single engine, wood and wire used to channel ball bearings around. I think these machines are strangely hypnotic. They’re also far more sophisticated than they first appear – for example, just getting the […]

Steampunk Motorcycle
This is a rather awesome motorcycle – a steampunk motorcycle. This cycle was designed and made by Solif Design. I don’t understand a word of written Russian but it’s so very tempting to subscribe to their blog just to keep track of their latest projects.
Stop motion clay battle chess
I miss battle chess. The ancient game let you play chess with – for the time – some enhanced visuals. This video isn’t a re-creation of the acutal game but it is chess, the pieces do move around the board and they do battle one an other. I think the title “battle chess” is deserved. […]

Kinect-Controlled Evil Genius Similator
Brightarcs is a UK based company that builds Tesla coils – no ordinary Telsa coils but musical ones. If you fancy you can hire them to create products that use high voltages and plasma. Sounds like good old fashioned dangerous fun. Geek comedian Tom Scott (who Geek Native has interviewed) took his camera crew to […]
Limited Edition Labyrinth Worm Plushie
For a brief few minutes ThinkGeek.com had some limited edition Labyrinth Worm plushies to sell. I imagine they sold out in record time. Currently, the website says there is none in stock but you can add to your wishlist. As ThinkGeek remind us, The Worm (known only as the Worm), is the first creature Sarah […]
Old style gamer helmet
I don’t have a credit for this photo. It came to light via an image surfing Russian website that’s lack on citation! I really can’t decide whether that’s a reflection of a tapestry, a computer game or not a reflection at all. What do you think? I know there’s someone out there who can name […]
Cutest Star Wars ever?
Inspired by the old Disney insignias created in World War II, artist Dave Mott has created some Star Wars insignias in a similar style. I think they maybe some of the cutest Star Wars art I’ve ever seen. Who wouldn’t want one of those Tauntauns? Or who would dare go up against Ackbar?
