As far as I can make up Meekakitty is one of these DIY YouTube video hosts. I quite like the idea – teens showing their talent, rather than just claiming they have it, by essentially hosting and putting together their own show. Meekakitty’s cleverly tapped into a meme of potential with her Star Trek song. […]

This, as you can see, isn’t something from a spaceship. This is a door for your flat. Enough chat; check out the […]
Star Trek’s Enterprise in Minecraft. Full size.

The iPad becomes the Star Trek PADD
The folks at Gizmodo sum this up with a “Someone Had to Do It” title – and they’re probably right. It’s also their scoop as the designer contacted them. Yup.
