Sunday, October 11th, 2009To Rocko, the gentleman responsible for this striking custom-built LEGO AT-AT Imperial Walker (via Brothers Brick), I would like to say: Thanks for not wasting your time and artistic talents on something upon which you could actually make a living. Your lack of practicality is a gift to the rest of us. This impressive rendition [...]
Twitter Link Roundup – Week Ending October 10, 2009
Sunday, October 11th, 2009Sing. Sing a song. Sing out loud. And when you get bored with that, check out some of the stuff I posted to my Twitter profile and the GWS Facebook Page last week.

Refreshing: A Sweet 16 Dinosaur Cake [Geeky Cake of the Week]
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Finally. A teenager I can tolerate. Ashley (goes by “Ash” — Evil Dead shout-out?) likes dinosaurs, so she got this T-Rex dinosaur cake for her “sweet sixteen” birthday party. Source You know… instead of a BMW, a private concert by Kanye West, a lap dance from Lady Gaga, or whatever other bullshit spoiled teens demand [...]
Aim Lower: Nintendo Duck Hunt Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Technically, you might call this Duck Hunt tattoo a “tramp stamp,” but that’s a bit harsh considering I have no evidence that this young lady is, indeed… a tramp. I can only extrapolate that she hasn’t been blessed with overwhelming powers of forethought or common sense. But a tramp? Who can tell. Personally, I don’t [...]
