The Pentax Optio NB1000 is a traditional 14 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera, with the small adaptation that it features a front Lego-style surface that uses “nanoblocks” made by the Japanese company Diablock.

Customize your pockets with little colored bricks

Eddie Izzard's revisionist Star Wars saga

Jeff Vader…hmmmm, could this be the inspiration for the epic Chad Vader? No one will ever know, I suppose. Well, except for the guys that created Chad Vader but I’m getting off point. All I know is I love Eddie Izzard, back since the days when he used to wear make-up to stand out among […]
