Ben Cuevas has shown how knitting can be art and geeky at the same time. Wasn’t that a phrase you didn’t imagine you’d be reading. Here’s another; knitted skeleton yoga. This fetching fellow was created for a piece called Transcending the Material for the Wassaic Project. On with the pictures!
Vader Time
Sometimes Geek Native will dive into the archive of golden oldie geek goodies. This is one such post. At the time of writing this Darth Vader and Stormtroopers clip has had 1.9m views. The 2 million mark is in sight. It was uploaded in July 2009. I think that counts as a classic. What do […]
2001: A Space Odyssey Monolith Action Figure
Sometimes you want a simple action figure. You want something that has sci-fi cool but has zero points of articulation. When that happens you need to put your sci-fi thinking cap on. What’s famous and has zero pointsof articulation? There you have it! The Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Perfect!
Post Apocalyptic Tokyo illustrations
These pictures are by the very talented Tokyo Genso. They’re already very popular with Japanafans but that’s no reason to fail to share them with Geek Native readers though. The key thing to keep in mind here that these images aren’t of a fictional Tokyo. If you’re familiar with the city then you should be […]

Going to treat yourself to the zombie DLC for Red Dead Redemption for this Halloween? Maybe? Here’s an alternative – the Super Mario Bros of Red Dead Redemption!
R2-D2 and Darth Vadar swimsuit
The blogs have certainly picked up on this rather cute R2-D2 (aka: ‘artoo’) singlepiece swimming costume. By the way, is that the right term “singlepiece”? I think One Piece… but that’s probably just my anime brain talking. You can certainly see the social media craze around the costume as worked. Black Milk, the people who […]

The Pleo isn’t dead. Phew. Although the original company weren’t able to weather the economic climate the cute robotic dinosaur was picked up and saved by Innvo. The next generation of Pleo has just been revealed at the Hony Kong Electronic Show. The new Pleo – known as the Pleo rb – is blue rather […]
Monster Muppets
Insiders and friends of Rhys Cooper alerted me to this set of three monster muppets. Aren’t they scary? Cooper has an eye for detail and a mind fit for Hollywood! I’m informed that said works of art will soon also be for sale at this webstore and I can think of a few people who […]
Omniwheeled and remote controlled lego tank
This mink tank (aka Metal Grudge) is an example of Lego perfection. Not only is this impressive engineering – those omniwheels allow the tank to drive in any direction it wants and perform impressive changes of direction – the video is an impressive feat of photographer. You see, designer Peer Kreger designed camera cars to […]
Water drops versus superhydrophobic carbon nanotube array
This video wasn’t designed to entertain. This is science. As it happens it’s one of those science videos that will impress laymen too. What’s going on here is that carefully sized drops of water are being exposed to a clever surface material (the superhydrophobic carbon nanotube array). The size and speed of the drop are […]
