Like many geeks, I have occasionally dreamed of sleeping on a space ship while traveling from one part of the galaxy to another but sadly I don’t think that dream is ever going to come true (unless I get chosen for that Mars One mission).  However, there are some people that go beyond just dreaming about that idea and they actually create a space ship bed to try to satisfy that dream.

In the past, I have posted a couple of really cool and geeky beds including a Star Wars Millennium Falcon bed as well as a Star Wars Landspeeder Bed.  Well, it looks like a Whovian decided to pursue this dream as well and built a fold down bed hiding inside of the TARDIS!

A man in New Zealand (sadly I don’t know his name to give him credit so if you do know him, please let us know in the comments below so we can give him the credit he deserves) decided to make this TARDIS that has a fold down bed inside for his son!  Perhaps the most clever part is that on the bottom of the bed is a picture of the inside of the TARDIS so when the bed isn’t down but the TARDIS doors are still open, you can see the inside of the TARDIS!

The level of detail on this TARDIS bed is quite impressive.  The snow on the TARDIS is a very nice touch!  Congrats to the kid who got this bed from his dad.

I wish this was my bed!  Having a fold up bed would be rather nice just because space in my bedroom is at a premium (small bedroom).

A much as I enjoy traditional art such as music painting, I think my favorite modern art medium is lattes.  Geeky latte art never fails to bring a smile to my face.  While some is better looking than others, I still appreciate the work that geeks put into these awesome beverages.  In the past, I have posted a ton (you can find them all by searching for latte art on the right) of latte art such as the mind blowing TARDIS latte art I posted back in September, but now we can add Daleks to the list of cool latte art creations.

This spectacular Dalek latte art was created by DeviantART user Coffee-Katie who created this at Caffe di Angeli in Fort Worth, Texas.  I might not be a latte drinker (I’m not a fan of hot beverages) but if I am ever in Fort Worth, I am definitely stopping there to get a Dalek latte!

CAFFEINAAATE!

Thanks to the holiday weight gain that I experienced this past holiday season due to all of the cookies I ate, I have cut back considerably on the number of cookies that I have been eating and by cutting back I mean I have hardly been eating any.  However, if somebody put this plate of Doctor Who cookies in front of me, I don’t think I could say no.

In the past, I have posted some cool TARDIS and Weeping Angel cookies and while I absolutely love those, I think these are now my favorite Doctor Who cookies!

Unfortunately, I don’t know who made these awesome Doctor Who cookies (if you know, please let us know in the comments so we can give them credit) that includes all of the Doctors, the TARDIS, a Cyberman cookie, a Weeping Angel cookie and even Sonic Screwdriver cookies.  I’ve seen a lot of geeky cookies in my day but I think these are by far my favorite!

And now I am hungry for cookies.  Damn.  So much for my diet I guess.

It has been a while since I have posted any cool t-shirts for sale so I thought that today would be the perfect day to post about some cool t-shirts that are on sale today only.  Whether you are a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan like I am or love the movie The Sandlot (which I still have never seen in its entirety), I think you are going to love one or both of these awesome shirts!

The cool folks over at TeeFury are doing one of their famous TwoFury sales where they put two shirts against each other to see which one sells the most and whoever sells the most wins.  For today’s shirts, they have both a TMNT shirt named Vintage Raphael and it is against the shirt design called The Beast which is inspired by the Sandlot and both are only $11!  Both designs were created by harebrained.

I suspect I will probably buy the Raphael t-shirt as soon as I finish this post because I only have one other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt and to only have one is a tragedy.  Which one will you be buying?  Let me know in the comments below!

In the past, I have featured a ton of geeky guitars that have been made to look like all sorts of geeky icons.  For example, I have posted an amazing Millennium Falcon guitar, a Koopa Troopa electric guitar and many others ranging in beloved geek franchises from the Legend of Zelda to Halo.  When it comes to cool instruments, it seems like geeks have have the coolest guitars!  Well, now we can add Lord of the Rings to the list!

This incredible Lord of the Rings guitar was created by 16-year old Vivian Xiao.  She did all of this incredible Lord of the Rings artwork with Sharpies.  I’d say she is quite the skilled artist!

I don’t do much with anything other than black Sharpies so I think what surprises me the most about this guitar is that sharpies come in so many different colors!

Vivian definitely has a great artistic career ahead of her if she is doing amazing stuff like this at just 16 years old.

Its been a while since I have posted any cupcakes so I thought this would be the perfect time to post some cool Doctor Who cupcakes.  In the past, I have featured a number of delicious looking Doctor Who cupcakes including a TARDIS and 11th Doctor cupcakes as well as some really detailed Dalek cupcakes.  Well, now we can officially add fish fingers and custard to the list of cool Doctor Who cupcakes I have posted about.

Sadly, I don’t know who made these awesome Doctor Who capcakes to give them credit so if you know who made them, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them credit!

I have to admit, the TARDIS cupcakes look a little weird with the windows sticking out like that but the Fez and bow tie cupcakes are pretty cool.  However, I think my favorite is the fish finger and custard cupcake because who would ever think to put something like that on a cupcake?  However, I’m not sure what the cupcake in the upper left is supposed to be so if you have any ideas, please share them in the comments below!

Now I am hungry for a cupcake!

Like many people, I enjoy pretty much all styles of music to some extent.  While my favorite is symphonic metal, I also love classic rock, country, pop among others.  Included in my list of musical love is any music performed in Klingon.

Last year I posted an awesome video of comedian Rachel Bloom singing “Seasons of Love” from Rent in Klingon and to this day, it is still one of my all time favorite videos that I have posted on Global Geek News.  Well, now I have some more great Klingon music to share!

The obviously geeky folks behind The Improvised Star Trek comedy podcast created this amazing spoof video of Sixpence None the Richer’s hit Kiss Me in Klingon.  The song is called HIchop! (Klingon for ‘Bite me’) by Sixpence None the Honor.

I really hope we see more Klingon music videos like this in the future because stuff like this makes my day.  Next, I want to see the Klingon version of Hanson’s MMMbop.  What would you like to see performed in Klingon?  Let us know in the comments below!

If I ever get around to cleaning all of the crap out of my basement, I’d like to put in a nice home theater setup.  Of course as long as we celebrate Christmas at my house, I don’t see that happening since half the basement is filled with Christmas decorations but a guy can dream.  Speaking of people with dreams of an amazing home theater setup, one guy spent $120,000 to convert his basement into the Batcave which is made up of mostly a really nice Batcave home theater.

Chris Weir is the Batman fanatic in the video below that spent 2 years and $120k building a Batcave in the basement.  While I am definitely impressed with the 120″ screen, nice seats, cave walls crafted out of foam and the Dark Knight batsuit, I think my favorite part of this setup is the entrance.

Being a huge fan of the Batman series from the 60s, the idea of recreating the entrance to the batcave with a bookshelf that opens after you push a button under Shakespear’s head is awesome.

Something tells me that if this guy ever decides to sell this house, he is going to have no trouble at all selling it to some rich Batman fan.  Maybe one day I will be able to afford to do something this cool at my house.  Until then, I can dream.
