Lighting, Tetris Style

That's right--it's a Tetris lamp and, yes, you can rearrange the components. Why has it taken this long to come up with such a magnificent piece of geekery? Who knows...but you'll have to wait a little longer as it won't be available until September.

Couldn't resist posting this--and proceeds from the shirt go to a good cause. It's win-win!

Choose Your Alignment

For D&D fans (or the casually interested), I think the grid above gives a pretty perfect idea of the different alignments. Sorry about the size but hopefully you get the idea (in case you can't tell the True Neutral character is Treebeard from LOTR).

And just because I like Mad Men, I thought I'd share this further example...

If you just can't resist finding out where you stand, take this alignment test, or perhaps this one (apparently I'm somewhere between Neutral Good and Lawful Neutral).

Prometheus Trailer



It's a new Alien movie. It's directed by Ridley Scott. I think my heart just stopped for a second there.

Accio royal icing!


The Burrow is one of my favourite locations in the Potterverse and I love gingerbread houses, so a gingerbread replica of The Burrow? Pure genius (we can even forgive the OP for calling it The Burrows).

Found here.

Okay, hobbit houses have always appealed to me and this is just awesome (not to mention the Tolkien collection). Anyone else jealous?

Zombie-Killing Appeal for Girls of All Ages!

Zombie-killer Barbie is pretty nifty but I think I'd rather have Zombie Ken!

Barbie is the handiwork of Sarah Anne Langton. Originally posted here.
