Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010This one-of-a-kind Toy Lamp by designer Ryan McIlhinney illustrates a position I’ve long-touted: all home furnishings should be made of whimsy and polyurethane laquer.
Made of recycled Toys which are bonded toghther and then coated in a High Gloss polyurethane laquer.
See? Perfect.
Whoever can name any of these action figures (WHY, HELLO, BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!) gets an official [...]
Color Me Covetous: The Light-Up Tron Hoodie [Updated]
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I’ve been posting anything at least somewhat-entertaining from the Comic-Con 2010 convention floor to the GWS Twitter stream, but this gem was worth sharing with the rest of you folks who don’t tune in for my every electronically-transmitted word.*
Meet the light-up Tron hoodie, now appearing in the Tron booth at SDCC. Tell me that this [...]
Oh, Look, Someone Made Something Obvious: The Boba Fett Backpack
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Good thing the Boba Fett backpack isn’t being released until August, because if I saw one of you wearing this thing at Comic-Con later this month, I would demolish you with the power of my judgment.

Thanks, 1970s!: Vintage Star Wars Beer Steins
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010If anyone can find evidence that anything good came out of the 1970s besides Star Wars and myself, please let me know.
I’d be glad to explain to you how you’re wrong.
Via Nerdcore, who found these on The Great American Brewery Shoppe, which was perhaps the fanciest site on the interwebs in 1997.
Find vintage Star Wars [...]
But Is it 2-Ply?: Marvel Comics Toilet Paper
Friday, June 25th, 2010Just in case you forgot or didn’t know that this is a thing that once existed.
In the 1970s, of course. Seriously, how did our society survive that stupid decade?
It must be said: this is where the wipe-worthy One More Day should have been printed.*
Not Awkward at All: Cthulhu Plush Cell Phone Holder
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Sure, the Cthulhu plush cell phone holder from Entertainment Earth seems completely impractical, unruly, and even a little bit* silly, at first.
But with the release of details on the iPhone 4, now it makes perfect sense. Plush Cthulhu will nourish itself upon the simmering evil of AT&T’s bait-and-switch tethering plan, thereby simultaneously protecting me from both [...]
