Boba Fett Kitchenaid Mixer [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 28, 2013 — 1 Comment

It is pretty common for people to do something geeky to their computers, game consoles or other gadgets, but it is not every day you see somebody turn a kitchen appliance into geek art. In fact, the only other instance I can think of that I have seen is the TARDIS refrigerator. Well, one Star Wars fan decided to take a Kitchenaid mixer and give it a Boba Fett look.

DeviantART user Tommyfilth is awesome Star Wars fan that turned a Kitchenaid mixer into this neat Boba Fett mixer. Apparently he was wanting a Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas and pointed his wife to a broken one on Ebay that he could refurbish. Well, apparently he ended up getting it for Christmas and after fixing whatever was wrong, decided to paint it to look like Boba Fett. I’d say he did an excellent job!

I would love to bake with Boba!

This Might Be the Cutest Doctor Who Cake Ever [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 28, 2013 — Leave a comment

Recently, I have been starting to wonder whether I come across more Star Wars cakes or Doctor Who cakes. I have a feeling I probably see a few more Star Wars cakes than Doctor Who ones although I think the numbers are pretty close or at least it seems like a post about a fairly equal number of both. Just in the past month or so, I have posted about a really cool Doctor Who wedding cake and an epic Doctor Who proposal cake (I’m still not sure a proposal cake is a real thing but any excuse for cake is fine with me). Well, now I have found perhaps the cutest Doctor Who cake ever to add to the bunch!

This slightly cartoony looking Doctor Who cake was created by Becky from Becky and The Beanstalk. I’d say she did a great job! This is the first Doctor Who cake I have seen that has an adipose on it, much less a Cyberman, Weeping Angel and a Silence too! And of course no Doctor Who cake would be complete without a TARDIS which this has one of the nicer ones I have seen.

Good News Everyone! This I <3 New New York Shirt is $10 Today Only!

Jeremy Bray — February 26, 2013 — Leave a comment

Like millions of others, I am a huge fan of the Futurama cartoon. It is perhaps my all time favorite cartoon which is why I am so excited about this ‘I <3 New New York’ shirt! While I can’t say I have ever cared much for the traditional I <3 New York shirts that I have seen all my life (perhaps because I have never even had the desire to visit the Big Apple), throw in an extra N and the Planet Express ship and count me in!

The geektastic shirt sale kings over at TeeFury are selling this awesome Futurama ‘I <3 New New York’ shirt for just $10 today only! Of course since it is Tuesday, they are offering another shirt for sale too but since I don’t know what it is referencing, I am just going to ignore it and say that if you love Futurama, you need this shirt!

I don’t think I have any Futurama shirts so I think as soon as I finish this post, I am going to order one for myself! At just $10, you can’t beat that for a shirt like this! And if you disagree, you can bite my shiny metal ass!

This Battlestar Galactica Cylon Engagement Ring is Fraking Amazing!

Jeremy Bray — February 26, 2013 — Leave a comment

Even though I am personally not a fan of wearing any sort of ring on my fingers, one of my favorite things to post about is geeky rings. I’m not sure why I like geeky jewelry so much, but I do. I guess I see it as the ultimate sign of geek love. It really catches my eye when the rings are inspired by science fiction. For example, in the past, I have posted a really cool R2-D2 engagement ring, an amazing Stargate wedding ring, a Doctor Who inspired TARDIS engagement ring and even a Star Trek engagement ring. Well, now we can finally add Battlestar Galactica to the lineup!

This amazing Battlestar Galactica inspired Cylon engagement ring was designed by Reddit user DisturbedRobot. Apparently he met his bride-to-be at a Battlestar Galactica party (they have those?!) and decided a Cylon ring would be the perfect piece of jewelry to ask her to marry him with. Of course nobody has such a ring for sale so he decided to design the ring himself, create the ring design in Maya and then turn the design over to jewelry crafter Craig Elliott to make the ring itself.

I’d say it turned out to be one of the coolest looking rings I have ever seen! I have to admit that I am kind of jealous because I want this ring! I love how it even has the red dot for the Cylon eye. Check out the cool pictures of the Cylon ring below!

This Light-up TARDIS Fez is Cool

Jeremy Bray — February 26, 2013 — Leave a comment

I can’t say I have ever understood why some people like to wear a fez. Of course there are some like the TARDIS fez below that look really cool, I just don’t see any practical purpose to one. I wear baseball caps not because they look cool (although I always make sure to have a cool and very geeky design on every hat I wear such as the God of War hat I am wearing now), but at least with a ball cap it serves a purpose because the bill of the hat helps keep the sun out of my eyes which are very sensitive to light. A fez can’t make that same claim.

Anyway, whether or not you find the fez useful, you can’t deny that this light-up TARDIS fez is really cool!

The blogger known as Coregeek made this fantastic TARDIS fez for his daughter’s birthday after she had come up with the idea some time before. Apparently, he followed the fez pattern from Tally’s Treasury to create the basic fez and then he gave it a cool TARDIS look and stuffed an LED in the TARDIS beacon. The only thing that would make this TARDIS fez any more awesome was if it actually made the TARDIS sounds.

Below are a couple pictures of the fez as well as a video showing some cool light-up action.

Lightsaber Through the Neck Tattoo [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

Of all of the body parts you might want to have a lightsaber stuck through (which is hopefully none), one of the worst places would have to be the neck. Not only would it be an almost certain death, I think it would be a little humiliating because if you get stabbed in the neck, you obviously don’t know to do battle with lightsabers. However, as a tattoo, a lightsaber though the neck turns out to be a pretty cool idea!

This very well done lightsaber through the neck tattoo was inked by Rick Tattoo in London. I think it turned out looking quite nice although I can’t help but feel there should be more of a glow around the lightsaber however it is a lovely shade of red.

This Spock Cupcake is Amazing [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

Thanks to all of the holiday weight I put on a couple of months ago (I think everybody just made more cookies and stuff than usual this year), I have decided to cut out the sweets and any unnecessary calories until I am no longer in danger of having to buy all new pants that are bigger than my current ones. However, while I may be avoiding the consumption of sweets, I still love looking at them, especially when they are geeky!

Speaking of geeky cupcakes, Cake Central member Yokko made this amazing Spock cupcake! I’m not sure how I feel about the black look of the cupcake itself but the handmade Spock cupcake topper is amazing! I’d say it turned out really well!

Remember, if you hope to live long and prosper, avoid the sweets!

A Dalek French Press Cozy for the Doctor Who Loving Coffee Fan [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

It seems like pretty much everybody is addicted to coffee these days. Everybody I have ever known drinks it except me. When I tell people that I don’t drink coffee (I don’t like hot drinks in general), I get a lot of strange looks and shocked reactions. People seem to have a hard time believing that a person can get going in the morning without coffee but I am one who can.

However, for those who need caffeine to get going and prefer to use a french press rather than stop by Starbucks, I think I may have found the perfect french press cozy for you, especially if you love Doctor Who!

If you have some knitting skills or know somebody that does, you can get the pattern to make this fantastic Dalek french press cozy for free thanks to ravelry user Coryna Blasko. If you want the pattern, head here to get it.

Star Trek Nail Tattoos [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 20, 2013 — 1 Comment

Until today, I have never heard of fingernail tattoos before. I have heard of fake fingernails and I have posted a ton of amazing fingernail art paint jobs that people have done both on here and my other blog, Fanboy Fashion, but I have never come across the term nail tattoos before today. While I may not be that familiar with them, if the Star Trek nail tattoos below are any indication, they are an awesome idea!

Etsy seller originails is selling these awesome Star Trek fingernail tattoos for $4.76. You get a sheet of these things so it seems like a pretty good price, especially if you love Spock, the Vulcan solute or the Klingons.

In case you aren’t familiar with fingernail tattoos, from what I can tell of the instructions for putting them on, they are kind of like a decal that you can put on top of your painted nails.

Trespassers Will Be Exterminated by Daleks [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 20, 2013 — Leave a comment

Most no trespassing signs tend to be rather plain and boring. The majority of the signs I see simply say “No Trespassing” and that is it. Once in a while you will see something about a guard dog being on duty or whatever but that is about creative as most people seem to get at least where I live. Well, for those that want something a little more entertaining and geekier, I suggest having a sign made like the Doctor Who one below!

I’m not sure who the original creator of this sign is although I have seen a number of similar ones on sites like Etsy for those interested in owning a Dalek no trespassing sign.

Now, if only somebody created some sort of Roomba / automated turret hybrid that looked like a Dalek, it would bring some real meaning to this Dalek no trespassing sign!
