YouTubeYESSSS: Penn State Band Honors Batman, Star Wars, Superman at Half-Time
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009This is absolutely glorious, people. Behold the Penn State Blue Band during the Eastern Illinois Game halftime show last month(?*), playing the themes of geek favorite movies Batman (starting at 0:14), Rocky (1:48), Back to the Future (3:10), Star Wars (6:24), and Superman (8:40).
The familiar, beloved, marching-bandified tunes provide half the joy, but just wait [...]
Custom Toys Present Homer Simpson as Marvel Superheroes
Sunday, March 8th, 2009Well… to be more specific: custom toys featuring Homer Simpson as two Marvel superheroes and one supervillain.
Toycutter found this seller on Ebay who created Homer Hulk, Homer Thing, and Homer Doc Ock.
Made in Mexico, with “free shipping from Texas,” these scream “toy smuggling ring.” But who am I to complain about a little bit of [...]

No, Predator, I do not [...]
WonderCon 2009 Costumes – Part 1
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009The underlying theme of costumes at this year’s WonderCon 2009 seemed to be, “In spite of the recession, cosplay geeks are still eating well.” You’ll see what I mean.
Also, in spite of the protests of my heart, mind, soul, and remaining kidney, I couldn’t entirely avoid taking a couple of pictures of anime cosplayers. Of [...]
Top Ten: What Would Wonder Woman Twitter?
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008I like to think that when Wonder Woman isn’t polishing her indestructible bracelets and picking star-spangled wonder-wedgies out of her Amazonian derriere, she enjoys kicking back with her official Justice League-assigned BlackBerry to micro-blog her life on Twitter.
If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a service that allows you to publicly notify your friends and [...]
