LED Magnets
Friday, December 12th, 2008If I were a super hero, I’d want the power to throw light. What use is throwing light? Not much, but I’m sure I could find something naughty to do, like some good ol’ light graffiti (not that I really need to be super for that, but it couldn’t hurt). Finally, I can use my [...]

Knitted Horse Head – For Those Who Sleep With The Fishes

Coloring Book Wallpaper
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Man, it’s hard enough that my landlord requests that I don’t paint my walls, but they of course have to be the dullest of beige. While part of me wants to lash out and throw a can of yellow down the hall, I’m even more tempted to splurge on Jon Burgerman’s color-your-own wallpaper. I mean, [...]
Keyboard Thumbtacks
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Here’s a great Instructable that’ll put some of that old computer graveyard to use for some awesome keyboard thumbtacks. While I’m sure someone somewhere is selling them, there’s something even more special and geeky about making them yourself. Especially if you have “To Do” lists that include buying AND eating carrots. Usually I only remember [...]
Princess Leia Gourdgana
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Sure, she’s no Carrie Fisher, but this Princess Leia pumpkin is a simple and easy solution to your geeky jack-o-lantern needs. Only extra materials you’ll need are two mini pumpkins, toothpicks and some paint. Yeah, you don’t want to rely on Sharpie for this one.

LEGO Pumpkin Instructions
Friday, October 24th, 2008I would have sworn I’ve posted about the awesome LEGO jack-o-lantern before but I can’t remember when. Must have been last year. Anywhosies, it’s still awesome and Gizmodo has the visual guide for how to build one. And because you don’t just come across orange LEGO bricks anyday, you can a order the Pumpkin [...]
Cinderella Pumpkin
Monday, October 20th, 2008Ok, so I understand that Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage isn’t the spookiest, ghouliest or least bit masculine jack-o-lantern to take center stage on your front porch, but there’s something to be said for its creativity. With just a few ornate belt buckles and some gourdes, you can easily pull off something unique and worthy of some [...]
Pac Man Cake
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Dagmar of Stockholm, Sweden, baked this gorgeous Pac Man cake, and I swear, I am salivating. Maybe I’m a little partial to it due to both my Scandinavian and geeky heritage, but let me tell you, the Swedes can make a tasty cake. Filled with raspberry cream and Dumle (chewy toffee covered in chocolate) fluff, [...]
Star Wars Bento Boxes
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Flickr-er vingt deux has a whole album dedicated to her growing work and collection of decorative bento boxes, which are all very impressive (and appetizing!). Still, I must give extra props to the Star Wars themed lunches. Who ever thought Tatooine could be so damn delicious! Keep up the good work!

Netflix Origami
Friday, September 12th, 2008If you have an account with Netflix, then you are all too familiar with the accumulated stack of red papers which you tear off your envelope after your disc’s arrival. What are we supposed to do with all that trash? Make paper art! The Netflix Origami Site provides step by step tutorials to transform your [...]
Tetris Tiles!
Friday, September 12th, 2008For years people have asked us to come up with a fun and colourful alternative to normal everyday tiles. So in 2007 we set about making Tetris Tiles and testing them in our friends homes. After a series of compliments and “where did you get those?” we knew that there was enough of a demand [...]
Weighted Companion Cube Busts Out The Jams – Who Knew?
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Words cannot truly express just how awesome modder D_stilgar’s Weighted Companion Cube subwoofer mod is. But considering I can’t accurately type sounds (I’m always getting my ah’s mixed up with my oh’s) I will have to rely on these things called letters. Dammit! After months of labor and love (you can’t make a Weighted Companion [...]
LEGO Boba Fette Costume
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008So I’ve been talking a big talk for some years now about getting together a Boba Fett costume. Fact is, I do not have the funds to complete one since I consider things like “eating” as a priority when it comes to budgeting. Maybe I’ll try building one out of LEGOs like this one spotted [...]
Katamari Baby Knit
Thursday, August 21st, 2008Want a Prince in the family? Well, at least you can dress your bouncing baby up like the Prince Of All Cosmos with this knitted cap, erm…hat? Head piece? Uh, helmet? …I’m not entirely sure what to call it, but it’s cute enough to warrant me eating that baby. Fine, I won’t. So if you [...]
Concrete Light Bulbs
Monday, August 18th, 2008Soon enough the light bulb will be yet another one of the many ghosts of the yesteryear household. Still, you can preserve the memories of an item that was so pivotal to a comfortable life while simultaneously exercising some of the three R’s. User whamodyne set up this Instructable on how to actually create a [...]
Pac Man Cookies!
Friday, August 8th, 2008Here’s a great tutorial by Jocelyn over at Snack Or Die for some homemade Pac Man sugar cookies. Unlike the geek cakes and cupcakes we frequently see here on the Dairy and about the net, these cookies actually look like they want to be eaten. That’d be a nice change to not feel guilty over [...]
The Mario Scarf
Thursday, August 7th, 2008While we’ve seen our share of geek knits, here’s one to 1up them all. Literally. Geek knitter Cassie has a running blog called The Mario Scarf Blog documenting the brave attempt to knit the entire first level of Super Mario Brothers. It’s an ambitious project indeed, but so far it’s looking pretty damn good. I [...]
DIY Drinking Straw Lamp

Even better, you can boast all you want about how you made it yourself using Addicted 2 Decorating’s DIY tutorial. The project cost is about $40.00 and will need about 1,500 drinking straws. Don’t be too overwhelmed, the skill level [...]
