Tuesday, March 16th, 2010I’ve definitely thought about aliens before and the possibility of coming face to face with one, but I never really thought what my next step would be from there. That could be a problem. Lucky for all of us, this dandy list of how to handle “the most important moment in all of human history” [...]
The Internet Has Collided – Chatroulette On Missed Connections
Friday, March 12th, 2010Because Missed Connections couldn’t possibly be any vaguer, a bunch of webcam junkies realized they could use its services for their Chatroulette infatuations. To be fair, I have no idea how else they’re going to reconnect with a disconnected user. Have you not seen ChatrouletteMap? Everybody is online!
Anyway, here are a couple of gems that [...]
A Honking Boob Is A Healthy Boob
Thursday, March 11th, 2010This is the least invasive and most awesome encouragement of good health I’ve ever seen. Fantastic!
And seriously, ladies. Keep those girls healthy! Beep beep!

Fetus Popple
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Oh dear God.
Craftster thebeatcowboy made this fetus model for an embryology class, and instead of just keeping it simple and creepy like most fetus replication models, she kept it old school and made it into a freaking Popple.
I made this 3 years ago for Embryology class, and I was inspired by the Knitted Digestive [...]
Procrastination
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Wow. I’ve just come to a harsh realization that essentially everything I ever do is some form of procrastination. Think about it this way. If…
Oh, I’m sorry. I just took a break for a cup of tea… And then I vacuumed the foyer, submitted a letter to “Dear Abby”, started a game of chess via [...]
Buy Mike’s Soul!
Friday, February 19th, 2010A good friend of the Gamervision crew, Mike, has put up his soul for auction on eBay. I know what you’re all thinking, “Did this guy not learn anything from that one episode of The Simpsons?” Apparently not. Though in his defense, the winning bidder will not receive his soul until after he has passed [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Banana Design Lab Snugglies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Like any convention, Toy Fair was pretty exhausting and it didn’t help that we had lunch 5 hours after I was ready to start stuffing my face. But as I nearly fell asleep, wandering the aisles of crazy people with toys, I stumbled upon the Banana Design Lab booth where I finally got to give [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Violet Gumdrop!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Forest and Jenny went together like peas and carrots, but my bestie and I go together like milk and cookies. Mostly because I’d rather be a cookie than a carrot. Just saying. Anyway! You know how I am. Stamp a milk carton onto anything and I’ll come running. Lucky for me, the treasures over the [...]
BBC Wants You To Have A Miserable Valentine’s Day
Sunday, February 14th, 2010And so do I.
I didn’t actually mean that. I’m just so scarred and depressed from this video I didn’t know what to do. Dammit, my Valentine’s Day was going just fine before this. Oh, Misery Bear. If only it was me who caught your eye. I’d give you all the kisses and snuggles in the [...]
Be Mine, Star Trek Family – Seriously. Make It So.
Friday, February 12th, 2010And that’s why God created the AwkwardFamilyPhotos blog.
You know, I thought my personal relationship with Star Trek had reached a whole new level of geekdom, but this family has put me and my Franklin Institute inherited red shirt to shame. Do you know what would be really great? If I was related to them. I’m [...]
The Current State Of My Car
Thursday, February 11th, 2010I’ve kept my cold tush inside for the past couple of days and while I’d like to remain huddled under this blankey with a burning hot computer on my lap, I know I need to brave the outdoors to take care of a little situation.
The funny thing is I left my window scraper inside.
Oh well, [...]
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 [...]
Road Skiers
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010I couldn’t help myself. Two people totally just skied up the road. On skis. As in, they’re skiing in the street and they look super funny. But in the end, the joke is on me since they were able to get away before I could catch a good shot of them. Well played, urban skiers. [...]
Snow Daaaaaay!
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Well would you look at that. It’s still snowing. And the world is still turning. Who woulda thunk? Anyway, we’re expecting even more snow (the second blaze is hitting now) along with a possible snowy thunderstorm. I haven’t seen one of those since I was a little kid in Colorado. To be honest, I thought [...]
We Love XKCD, We Love The Internet
Monday, February 8th, 2010XKCD, being the awesomest, simplest comic, strip-ified Discovery Channel’s “Boom-De-Yadda” commercial and it is adorable. Even more adorable, Olga Nunes videofied the stripified XKCD Discovery Channel commercial into one world-loving geek fest explosion featuring the likes of Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton to MC Frontalot and Mr. Toast (and a whole lot of bloggers and [...]
Moonbow!!!
Monday, February 8th, 2010We can thank the sun for its hand in rainbows, but this fancy arch of a color spectrum is a luminous product of the moon, stretching across the volcanic Haleakala crater on Maui Island, Hawaii. I wonder how our favorite conspiracy theorist would feel about this?
She’ll probably blame it on Obama and the Russians.

Cat Table Approved By Cats
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010You know it’s good to be a cat when high-end furniture is designed with your convenience and approval in mind. So not only do you get to sleep in sun beams all day, have the biggest and most unwarranted attitude ever, you can also have your owner drop some heavy coin to adapt to your [...]
Tee Time For Haiti Relief
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010“Men anpil chay pa lou”
(Translation: “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter”)
We and some friends of ours have come together to support sending relief to Haiti. We’re donating 100% of proceeds of the sale of “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter” to the American Red Cross (up to $100,000).
We reached out to Haiti’s neighbors and asked [...]
PupilTube
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Oh, the era of YouTube. We can upload ourselves doing just about anything. But over at PupilTube they have one goal and one goal only. To teach your stupid self something. Oh, ohhh…. Stop crying. I didn’t mean it like that.
PupilTube was developed by a Dutch econ student who figured the internet had more to [...]
