Cleaning Up

Ever look at a plain bar of soap and think 'this could be awesomer'? Me neither, but now that I see what can be done I have to wonder why I've wasted so much time using boring old rectangles. Click on photos for more info.

(Btw, the descriptions of the products alone are worth checking out.)

Everything is better in TARDIS form:

Soap Invaders:

Yes, but are they stackable?

I am Jack's soap:

Freeze date included:

You will be assimilated (but at least you'll be clean):

The Alliance know how to make a damn fine bar of soap:

May the Force Be with You...in the Kitchen

Vader apron:


Space slug oven mitt (Millennium Falcon pot holder not included. Also it's not a real product):


Light saber bottle opener:


My personal favourite--the Death Star cookie jar:


Because you gotta eat and there are regrettably few fun oven mitts in the world.

Practical Magic

A nifty alternative to the "Keep Calm and Carry On" slogan. You can get this poster here (and elsewhere too, I'm sure).

If you prefer to be a little more interactive with your home decor, you can buy the needlepoint pattern for Harry's acceptance letter into Hogwarts and make your very own version of it (may I suggest using a nice emerald green thread?)

Steampunk Star Wars

Great art by Bjorn Hurri. My only question: why is C3PO wearing a tie?

See more here.

The Doctor Gets Mugged

It's amazing what you can discover when you're not expecting it. For example, a mug featuring the TARDIS's police sign:


Or one covered with Daleks:




Or this nifty one with a changing picture--the TARDIS disappears (and reappears in space, I presume)!



And my personal favourite--the TARDIS itself...

Bat Wars

Don't tell Lucas--he might try to re-make the movies again (Han Solo was Batman all along)...

Found here.

Ex-ter-mi-nate, dude!

Rufus could've at least warned them...

Roomba Pac-Man!

If you're going to go to all this trouble then at least try not to sound completely bored as you explain the process.

Paperless World? Not Quite Yet...

Believe it or not these are all made of layers of paper, courtesy of artist Cheong-ah Hwang. Impressed? I sure as hell am. Check out even more amazing examples of her work here.

Channelus surfius

Welcome to a whole new level of geekdom: the magic wand remote control. Yes, you can now channel your inner witch or wizard while you adjust the volume, pause the DVD, or turn on the lights (forget that 'clap on, clap off' crap). Various "spellcasting" gestures (e.g., flicking the wand) actually control your electronics, thus rendering the clunky, boring remotes you've amassed useless. Sadly, it runs on batteries rather than unicorn hair or phoenix feathers. Oh well--can't have them all.

You can get your own (and watch a short video of it in action) here.
