LEGO Boulder Not Completely LEGO
By nikkita | May 20, 2008
Yesterday I posted about an Indiana Jones reenactment of the rolling boulder scene shot in San Francisco with a boulder made out of 5 million LEGOs. Apparently we were a bit mislead. I thought it was a solid LEGO boulder which made it seem extra dangerous, but as you can see from the picture above, the interior of the boulder is styrofoam. Fine, I get it. A solid LEGO ball is expensive and pretty damn dangerous, especially if it’s chasing after a living being.
So I guess the car that got hit didn’t get clobbered like I hoped. Boo!

New Summer Colors For Nintendo DS
By nikkita | May 20, 2008
Alright. There’s just one thing I want to get out of the way before we start here: YAAAAAAY!!!!
According to pre-order pages of a Spanish gaming retail site, Nintendo will be coming out with three new colors for the beloved DS by this summer. Though there is very little information, we’ve gathered that sometime around June 13th, the DS will be available in lime green, bright red, and frosty blue. Just like summer, these colors are hot and delicious!
Let’s see…I’ve had a lime green car and computer, so maybe it’s time for me to get a lime green DS!

Pocket Knife USB Drive
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
Looks like the Swiss Army Knife is keeping up with the times. It’s proven to go as fas as to provide every tool that you may need at any time, now including a USB drive. Available in both 4GB and 8GB, the pocket knife also includes a knife (of course), pen, scissors, nail file and a flat tip screwdriver. It’s like Macguyer gone Bond! Or…maybe not. Needless to say, we could all use one.
Head on over to Chinavasion to order your own in 4GB for $26.00 or 8GB for $44.00.

The F-Bomb
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
…it doesn’t have to stink!
One of the most common places you’ll find yourself dropping the f-bomb may be behind the wheel. That’s fine as long as that’s all that you’ll be dropping (unlike a baseball bat to someones windshield). Still, it’s a dirty word, and dirty things are stinky. So why not deodorize the rage with this car air freshener available from PerpetualKid for $2.99.
So this is how it goes: you’re in the car, driving may cause you to curse, bad words are dirty words, dirty things stink, so get this car air freshener. Did we just come full circle? Awesome.

Indiana Jones Dodges 5-Million LEGO Boulder
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
A group of appropriatley attired dudes constructed this enormous boulder, the same size as the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark, out of 5 million LEGOS. So what do you do with it? Push it down a steep hill in San Francisco, of course. But what’s a big dangerous boulder without a running Indy? Ok, let’s add one of those too and patiently wait until it crashes into a car. I’d like to know more about these guys, where they got the LEGOs and just how far they got it to roll before its boulder/vehicular collision.
Don’t forget! The new Indy flick comes out this Wednesday at midnight!

Tuxedo Strawberries
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
Oh man, why am I doing this to myself? I really like strawberries. I also really like chocolate. I especially like white chocolate. And lastly, I like dressing fabulous. Obviously these tuxedo strawberries are scoring pretty high in my book. All wrapped up fancy in this tuxedo fabric gift box available from Shari’s Berries for $64.99. We’re talking about the black tie event of strawberries, of course it’s not a bargain. But better yet, you could totally pull these off on your own on a much more sensible budget. It’s pretty simple: dip once in white chocolate, dry, then dip at an angle in milk chocolate. Since the bow tie and buttons are so small, you could just use a tooth pick to draw them on. Lastly, put them in a box and send them to me where I will proceed to eat them. Great idea? I think so.

Keyboard Waffles
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
Part of a collection of works by Chris Dimino where he takes a typewriter and gives it a new function/purpose than it was originally meant for, the keyboard waffle maker has left me drooling. Seriously though, I want to see this in every kitchen of every geek, ever. You got to start your morning off right, so what’s more right than waffles? Nothing. Because waffles are delicious.
Check out Chris Dimino’s other projects including problems and solutions for other items (gas masks, chess set, etc.) at DesignHead.

Ahhh! Head Crab Zombie!
By nikkita | May 19, 2008
If you still have love for Half-Life 2, then you’ll still have some love (or fear of) head crabs. Did you know that you could be a head crab zombie too? Yes, it’s a glorious day, isn’t it? Supply your delicious healthy brains with a head crab available from the Valve shop for $29.99. Perfect for getting out of class and/or work, head crabs can also keep you warm and cozy.
I really want the local police force to wear these so I can be like…
Me:I can’t give you my license, Officer.
Police: Why not?
Me: BECAUSE YOU ARE HEAD CRAB ZOMBIE!
If that didn’t make sense, hurry up and watch this funny video already.

Chattier Plates
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
A couple of weeks ago I posted about these chatty speech bubble plates. It looks like I’ve found something to top them! The Park-A Boy Meets Girl set not only has the speech bubbles, but two little profiles for them to speak for. That’s right. Now your plates can actually talk to each other! How cute, they’re flirting! Awww.
If you’re interested, hop on over to Eccoss to email in for some whole sale prices. Yeah whole sale!!

Caffeine Chips
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
There’s a lot of different types of addiction out there. Some easier to avoid than others, but in general, a good majority of people can’t and don’t want to kick that caffeine. That’s understandable. We push ourselves hard through the day and generally we’re not sleeping or eating right. If caffeine can make it just a little bit easier, then why not? Well, let’s not even get into that… If you don’t care for coffee, or you just like munching away at mysterious foods, these Engobi caffeine infused chips can keep you trucking throughout your day. How sufficient are they? One 1.5 ounce bag will give you twice the amount of caffeine than an energy drink. [sarcasm] Hmm, that’s not scary at all! [/sarcasm]
Ok, so this may not be as gross as head bread, but if you have to resort to solid foods to support your caffeine addiction, we just may have a problem. Being $1.29 a bag, it’s probably cheaper than an energy drink addiction, but not only is it twice as strong, it’s twice as sad. Seriously, you didn’t look desperate enough with an arm full of Red Bull, but now you gotta have your morning snack chips? Come on. At least coffee doesn’t make you look like a total dud.
Conclusion: Eat an apple instead!

Fresh Kicks Of Bel-Air
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
Can you remember the whole song? Not only I, but every single person I know most definitely can, so really I don’t expect anything less from the lot of you.
As if sneakers couldn’t be any more ridiculous and awesome, Puma will be releasing both The West Philly Round Pack and the Clyde Pack from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air collection. Both packs come in a sack and a watch. If the Clyde package doesn’t scream Pimpity McPimpFace with its white gator skin and gold watch, I don’t know what can. Personally, I could totally see myself rocking the West Philly ones, even if I’m not “born and raised”.
I had to do a little research for pricing with very little success. It looks like you can expect to pay anywhere from $200-$350 for these sneaks. Hey man, freshness has a price.

Microwaved CDs
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
I’ve always had a good time defacing bad CDs. One fun memory was scratching off the back of a friend’s undisclosed yet fairly terrible CD. I bet there’s still remnants of the silver confetti in that rug. Another occasion was trying to break up and glue a bunch of CD chunks to an abstract painting that I called “Disco Milk”. Yeah, it’s better to not ask questions. Sadly, I never put a CD in a microwave and would be afraid to do so. Wacky Archive on the other hand has no problem with doing AND documenting it. The results are rather beautiful.
More pictures after the jump including the microwave!

Head Bread - Oh Dear God That’s Disgusting!
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
First: These heads are not real. They are bread. Please contain your dinner in your tummy.
Looking a bit like something you’d see in an Eli Roth or Peter Jackson film, these bread heads are miles past the line of decency. What would you do with a master’s degree in fine arts? That’s nice. You see, Kittiwat Unarrom likes to use his to make realistic and horrifying breads that look like body parts. Using dough, raisins, cashews and chocolate, it’s beyond disturbing that bread could ever look like this. The icing on the cake: he uses an edible paint for a more realistic touch. Oh geez…thanks. If you really feel so inclined to support his business, you’ll need to get yourself a plane ticket to Thailand. And if this really is an attraction for you, maybe Thailand shouldn’t let you in.
Seriously, this is the most effed up thing I’ve seen for a while. Sure it’s just bread, but I think that just makes it worse. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to resume the fetal position after about 20 minutes of hugging the toilet bowl.
There’s more pictures that I refuse to post. I feel bad enough as it is to actually bring this up. So if you’re up for it, you can go throw up on them here.

Geek Art - Move Over Andy!
By nikkita | May 18, 2008
I love seeing how street art style has been colliding with geek themes recently to make a hybrid of something truly unique, refreshing, and relatable. Oh, and totally cool. I’ve said it once. I’ve said it twice. I’ll say it again. Geek is sheik. Who would have thought that it is our dorky interests that make us not only endearing, but now pretty damn cool. And the best part is, you don’t even have to try!
I found it interesting today as I went through all my daily blog read. There was a bit of a wave regarding geek inspired art and I just could not let them go unnoticed.
Art after the jump!

Creepy Ghost Elevator
By nikkita | May 16, 2008
This looks like something you’d see in The Ring or The Grudge and remains on that same plateau of scary. But like those two films I guarantee you there is no possibility of this being real because ghosts actually look like this on camera. Turns out the video was made by a group who are bringing attention to the downfalls of working late, like Japan is worldly notorious for. Though I think the only statement they’re making with this video is that j-horror makes elevators seem really effing scary. Here’s the explanation video by The GMP Group.

Font Vader
By nikkita | May 16, 2008
Turns out Darth Vader is kind of like Ryan Seacrest; he’s everywhere! Ahhhh! Run!
Comic sans may be the worst font in history, but Ironic Sans may be the coolest blog.
The above word-cartoon is the end result of that quote rolling around in my head for weeks. I’m not sure how successful it ended up being, but I know there’s a font pun to be made somehow with that line.
Conclusion: Darth Vader made out of fonts.
Awesome score: High. GIVE US MORE!

Space Shuttle Bunk Beds
By nikkita | May 16, 2008
Let’s get one thing straight. All things space ship are awesome. Especially space ships!
Now that we got that out of the way, we can also determine that the calculation of awesome regarding the space shuttle bunk bed has a high probability of being a constant of awesome. In terms of Earth’s gravity, the space shuttle bunk bed’s awesome mass will weigh in much heavier, 100% of the time, than any other bunk bed of similar sizes’ awesome. In conclusion, for both beings of small and large nature, the awesome score is off the charts.
Looking a bit like something from Tomorrow Land and an old blue bunk bed my brother and I had as kids, I kind of wish I was 6 again…or a foot shorter.
Now all you gotta do is give the kid some grillz and we got our own Jaws from Moonraker.

Sonic Tattoo Sleeve
By nikkita | May 16, 2008
We all love ourselves a little Sonic just like the way we love a little Mario. But why is it that I am more accepting of Mario tattoos? Is it the charm of 8-bit and retro gaming or am I just stubborn? As you can see above, this man really really loves him Sonic, so much that he’s dedicated an entire limb in its honor.
…What a shame.
I think the ultimate losing point goes to the SEGA logo. I mean…really? Is that necessary?
Really?
