Sony Europe has launched a webseries apparently intended to celebrate geek culture along with Sony gadgets. Because, you know, geeks like gadgets. They also can’t talk to girls, and probably wear pocket protectors. So if this is what we know about geeks, and we also know about girls, I wonder what geeky girls are like. […]
Less than 10% of plastic trash is recycled — compared to almost 90% of metals — because of the massively complicated problem of finding and sorting the different kinds. Frustrated by this waste, Mike Biddle has developed a cheap and incredibly energy efficient plant that can, and does, recycle any kind of plastic. [TED]
Seems climate change has forced Bigfoot away from his traditionally chilly home; the elusive (but totally real) beast of legend has had to resort to extremes, apparently, as he was recently spotted strolling along the surface of the Sun. See? Alan Friedman snapped this shot of an oddly familiar-looking solar prominence. [A] prominence [is] an eruption of ionized gas […]
We don’t know much about this cake, except that it’s an edible model of Serenity and therefore awesome. She’s a mighty fine ship. Erm, cake. [mechanicalbiscuit via reddit]
What do you get when you add Star Wars to any movie, cartoon, or TV series/sitcom? Some interesting Photoshopped mash-ups, where Yoda is a high-school show choir singer and Darth Vader really enjoys blowing up hospitals in Gotham City.

As a dog whose human is an artist at an animation studio (in this case, Katie Mello at LAIKA), odds are you’re subjected to a number of weird costumes. In this case, we’ll allow it. Say hi to Bones, a miniature but fully functional AT-AT. [laughing squid]
Fine art meets gaming, and we’re cool with it. Check out these cross-geekery mash-ups, courtesy of Buzzfeed. [buzzfeed]
We post a lot of geeky tattoos, it’s true, but sometimes we see new things we haven’t run before. That’s where Sexy Geek Heather-kay comes in. She was perusing our collection of pop culture body art and realized that there are no Doctor Who tattoos here. It’s ok, though, she’s got this handled: Fear not, I […]
The Battlestar Berserk is no lightweight; it’s 73 inches, 24 inches wide, 14 inches high and weighs in at 54 pounds. The Lego kit for this thing would come in a box the size of my bedroom. Granted, part of the weight is from the steel supports built in to keep the model from collapsing […]
