Sometimes nerds and firearms don’t mix so well. The results can be messy. But other times, such as with the new instructional book from Jack Streat titled LEGO Heavy Weapons, the results can be more… creative. LEGO Heavy Weapons details instructions on how to build 1:1 scale replicas of four different guns out of everyone’s […]

Melvins, Cat Power, Pavement, Sonic Youth, Feist & more

For the inaugural edition of Rock (Poster Art) Gods! we’re kicking things off with Dan Stiles, a 15+ year veteran laying it down from his studio in sunny Portland, Oregon. We loved Dan’s interview, […]

Geek-inspired handmade rings, cuff links, earrings & money clips
Anyone who has watched Big Bang Theory will attest to the hotness factor surrounding Kaley Cuoco. A girl that’s tall, beautiful and blonde, but also has the wits to go toe-to-toe with two physicists is a girl that knows the path to my heart.

Apple snob or PC peon? Unleash your ire on Apple's overlord
I’m not sure if this is aimed at all the Apple Addicts out there or the PC minions who loathe their existence, but probably it appeals to anyone who was ever on a crucial business call when their iPhone 4 crapped out on them. The geek-centric Steve Jobs in Carbonite iPhone Case tells everyone, “Yes, […]

What happens when you free the biggest fanboy oeuvre of all time
Last year former Vimeo developer named Casey Pugh announced his project Star Wars Uncut. The idea was simple, but oh-so-grand in execution: break up Star Wars — the biggest and most untouchable fanboy epic of all time — into 15 second partitions and let sci-fi nerds from across the globe claim these chunks of immortal […]
