Star Trek’s Enterprise Made From an Old Hard Drive [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 10, 2012 — 1 Comment

A little over a year ago, I posted one persons Star Trek creation where they created the USS Enterprise out of office supplies like a couple of pens and a CD. Well, as cool as that was, I prefer it when the Enterprise has a little more storage space than just 700MB and apparently I must not be the only one to think that.

Star Trek fan and geeky crafter Daniel Shankalonian decided to take an old hard drive and make the Enterprise out of it! Actually, this Enterprise includes not only parts from a dead hard drive but bits of a dead motherboard and a keyboard too. He was selling it on Etsy but it sold yesterday so if you were hoping to get your hands on this, it looks like you will have to settle for building your own.

Props to Daniel on this excellent and geeky creation!

Spectacular Battlestar Galactica Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 12, 2012 — Leave a comment

Although I have yet to watch the original show, I am a huge fan of the modern Battlestar Galactica series. With Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome having released its first episode on Friday (although I have yet to watch it so please don’t spoil it in the comments), I figured it would be fitting to post this awesome Battlestar Galactica cake!

Not too long ago, I posted a really cool looking Battlestar Galactica emblem cake (which is my favorite BSG cake), but if you are looking for a cake of the actual ship, then I have found the cake you are looking for! This isn’t as detailed of a Battlestar Galactica cake as the BSG wedding cake I have posted in the past, but this BSG cake has a nice charm to it. I think the coloring on it makes it a more appealing cake than the wedding cake.

The awesome bakers at Pink Cake Box are the ones that created this amazing Battlestar Galactica cake which is a a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing. It sounds delicious!

Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Cake [pics]

Jeremy Bray — July 11, 2012 — Leave a comment

In the past, I have posted some pretty amazing Star Wars themed birthday cakes on here such as this awesome Millennium Falcon birthday cake and an AT-AT birthday cake (among many others), but this is the first X-Wing fighter birthday cake I have had the pleasure of posting.

This awesome Star Wars X-Wing birthday cake was made by Cake Central Member TTRan. There is no indication on this awesome cake who it might be for or how old they are turning, but whoever they are, they got an awesome cake for their birthday!

TARDIS Stained Glass [pic]

Jeremy Bray — May 23, 2012 — 7 Comments

I’m glad to see the art of stained glass is not dead and is being used for something other than religious purposes. I have nothing against it being used for religious purposes, its just that when you think of stained glass, you tend to think of the stained glass that you would find in a big church. Anyway…

Somebody by the name of Coby is apparently a big Doctor Who fan and also has the skills it takes to make some rather impressive stained glass, in this case a stained glass TARDIS. This one isn’t 3D like the last stained glass TARDIS I posted, but for some reason, I seem to like this one better.

Awesome Millennium Falcon Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — April 2, 2012 — Leave a comment

I have posted a number of Millennium Falcon cakes in the past (just search for Millennium Falcon cakes in the search on the right of find them all), but this is probably one of my favorites. The level of detail on this cake is quite impressive without it going for that hyper-realistic look. This amazing Millennium Falcon cake was made out of two 16″ round cakes by Cakes with L.O.V.E. I’d love to have a slice of this cake but considering this cake is three years old, I have a feeling it probably wouldn’t taste very good anymore and the last thing I need is food poisoning.

Battlestar Galactica Viper Papercraft [pic]

Jeremy Bray — January 18, 2012 — Leave a comment

I am ways impressed when people make something really cool out of simple paper. I remember in grade school we had a girl from Japan teach us some origami but an origami frog is the closest I have ever come to doing much papercraft. Well, there are some people out there that are really talented when it comes to working with paper and luckily some of those people happen to be Battlestar Galactica loving geeks! DeviantART user ~homestah is one of those people and they created this amazing BSG viper with their awesome papercraft skills. Fantastic!

Solar Powed Star Trek Mailbox [pic]

Jeremy Bray — January 5, 2012 — Leave a comment

The closest thing I have to a mailbox is a whole in my front door for the mail to fall through onto the floor inside. If my neighborhood was one where people used normal mail boxes and didn’t have kids that would likely cause problems with them, I would want to have a geeky mailbox like this awesome Star Trek mailbox which looks a lot like the Enterprise. This solar powered ship lights itself up at night, something I am sure the postal carrier loves during the winter. This awesome mailbox was made by somebody going by the name ModXMV and its safe to say they got substantial geek cred with this build.

Gingerbread Serenity [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 26, 2011 — 1 Comment

Although I have it laying around to watch, I still have not got around to watching the much loved Firefly series. Having met several of the actors from the show last year, I am much more interested in watching it but I am still working my way though a couple of other series at the moment such as Cosmos before I get around to watching Firefly. Anyway, Firefly fan Kristoffer Gressli made this fantastic and delicious looking Serenity gingerbread ship. You can find more pictures of this awesome Serenity gingerbread ship in the source link below!

Cloaking Klingon Bird of Prey Quilt [pic]

Jeremy Bray — September 8, 2011 — Leave a comment

One of my favorite Star Trek special effects has to be the cloaking of ships. Whether they are Klingon ships or Romulan ships, I don’t care. I just like the effect. Well, one Etsy seller is apparently such a big fan of the cloaking effect that they made a wall hanging quilt featuring a cloaking Klingon Bird of Prey. Of course a Star Trek themed wall hanging quilt wouldn’t feel right without one of the Enterprise ships, so you can see it in the background. This awesome piece of wall decoration measures 18.5″x26″ and is for sale on Etsy by TheAlligatorBride for $80.

Amazing Serenity Firefly Dress [pic]

Jeremy Bray — May 2, 2011 — 1 Comment

Despite having met several of the the actors from the sci-fi series Firefly and have been told repeatedly how awesome the show is, Firefly is still on my list of shows to watch (maybe I will get around to it later this week). One thing I did realize a couple of weeks ago at the Starfest sci-fi convention was just how much that women loved the show.

Well, if you are one of those women, then this dress is for you! For $36 at Raygun Robyn, you can pick up this amazing looking Firefly Serenity dress. I’m not sure I like it as much as the Star Wars opening scroll dress but that might just be because I have no emotional attachment to Firefly yet. Either way, I still think this dress is really cool!
