« Previous EntriesHow To Build Your Own R2-D2
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Boys like girls with power tools for certain jiggly reasons as displayed in that one Benny Benassi video, but I like boys with power tools (especially of the geeky variety) because not only is the visible jiggling kept to a minimum, but you get a fantastic R2-D2. And who doesn’t want an R2-D2? Stupid people.

Cake Pops
Monday, March 8th, 2010While I remain a big fan of the pie pops featured here last summer, I think it’s about time we welcome cake into the “on a stick” family. Especially when you can make them look like little chickadees. I don’t know about you, but I just love biting cute things in the face… I lie. [...]
Stitch Lamp – Stitch Your Own Lampshade
Monday, March 8th, 2010Lampshades. Guh. I’ve seen my fair share of fancy ones, but never when I actually needed one. I’d request a time table from IKEA of how much time I’ve spent in their lighting section in search of a lampshade that would be mildly suitable for my taste and needs, but in the end some things [...]
7-Up Up Cake!
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Now, I’m not much of a baker so I’m not entirely sure how conventional or unconventional 7-Up is as an ingredient in a cake. Though, to my credit, I have seen it in a recipe before. That makes me somewhat relevant I hope. Anyway, my relevance to this cake is that I want to eat [...]
DIY Chocolate Space Invaders
Thursday, February 18th, 2010To be honest, I just wanted to post a picture of these glorious chunks of chocolate because I want to eat them. Right now. Because I am jonesing bad for some chocolate as we speak. But if you like to get your hands dirty or happen to have yourself an authentic double boiler (unlike the [...]
Valentines For Valentine’s Idea
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just for mushy gushy couples. You love your friends, don’t you? Well… you at least like them a little bit, right? Then show them! Take Valentine’s Day back from the man and use it as one more excuse to party and have fun with the people you like most, [...]
Snow Dalek Attacks!
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Ladies and gentlemen, I must take this moment to be extremely serious. As the snow continues to fall and temperatures continue to drop, it’s critical that we stay inside. As you can tell, this unfortunate man crossed paths with a snow dalek.
Neil Clarke, editor of the Hugo nominated Clarkesworld Magazine, was slain on his front [...]
Lampy Compy
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Awwww, the lampy iMac G4 was such a cute computer. My mom happens to still have one and yes, I still like to make it dance. But if it ever goes kaput, I’ll be sure to let her know her options. Though it would probably be a long time before we could find someone to [...]
A Law And Order Valentine’s Day
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. This is their love.
Everyone’s most desired valentine, Brandon Bird, has revisited the Law and Order Valentine theme for your benefit and your [...]
Cookie Messages
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Got something to say? Say it sweetly with a cookie. This remains to be a very effective approach to sensitive subjects like your roommate not doing the dishes or your buddy not wearing enough deodorant. Mind you, you can use the cookies to say nice things to like “You’re pretty, Nikkita” and “Nikkita, you’re the [...]
Asteroid Cookies
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I can’t decide if these Asteroid cookies look super awesome and tasty because I just ate one of the super awesome and tasty cupcakes that Sarah made for Nick’s birthday (happy birthday Nick!!!!) and have sweets on the mind, or if they don’t look tasty enough because I just ate one of the super awesome [...]
Ugly Cord Solution
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Cords and cables can be mad ugly, but having an attitude about it is less than desirable. After all, they can’t really help it and they are doing their best to make your life better with the power of electricity. Shame on you for judging them. For denying them of your love and respect. We [...]
DIY Periodic Table Shelf Awesomeness
Monday, January 25th, 2010And I just drooled. Everywhere. Mostly because I just dozed off for a second a few minutes ago with my tongue hanging out, but also because this periodic table shelf/cabinet/awesome unit is the shizz-nit. And if you’re feeling a little brave and want to take on some acrylic, you can check out the tutorial on [...]
NES Dress!
Friday, January 22nd, 2010The Game Boy dress from the other day was pretty fantastic and all, but this NES dress has something that the Game Boy dress doesn’t. Straps. It’s okay boys, I don’t really expect you to understand. Then again, the NES dress was a product of Flickr-er everyplace’s video game Halloween themed party. AKA not available [...]
Digital Cake!
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Baking cakes is fun, but let’s face it. With all the stuff you need to get done by Thursday s you can take Friday off for a long weekend, there’s little time to spare in the kitchen. But Debbie in accounting’s birthday is tomorrow and she’s telling everyone she’s 35. Yeah, well you know the [...]
DIY Lady Gaga Glasses
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Ok, I would like to set the record straight and inform everyone that I have given into the Cult of Lady Gaga, or as I like to call it, the Lady Gagult. It’s been a couple of weeks now and I’m happy with my decision to grovel and pray to this ridiculous woman. And don’t [...]
iPhone Steering Wheel
Monday, January 18th, 2010Just when I thought there weren’t enough K’NEX in the world, boom, there they are. And they’re doing something cooler than just being a crane or a Ferris wheel. I take that back. There’s nothing better than a K’NEX crane or Ferris wheel, but at least the steering wheel is adapting to an even more [...]
The Cherpumple
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Wait, wouldn’t this be more of a Cherappkin? Not that it really matters, it’s going to stop all of my functioning organs no matter what order you name its ingredients. You know, I’m not really sure why I’m so sensitive to the idea of a super stacked pie. Wasn’t it just thanksgiving that I ate [...]
DIY Scanimation!
Monday, January 11th, 2010Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! Look what we have here. A sweet tutorial, brought to you by Paul of Dude Craft, of how to make your own Scanimation. If this as a card doesn’t knock somone’s socks off, I don’t know what will. Actually, I do. A check for a million dollars. [...]
Yarn Head
Monday, January 11th, 2010I missed the memo that yarn balls were back in style. I also missed the memo that I went over my text allowance this month, so what’s new? My phone bill, that’s for sure. Yikes.
If balls of wool sitting on top of your head (and I don’t mean a hat) is your kind of thing, [...]
