The world of a blind geek must be a difficult one. Many of the luxuries we take for granted (watching Star Wars, reading fanfiction, witnessing Steve Jobs unveil the newest device in the Apple arsenal) just aren’t possible for the blind to the extent that the fully-functional among us have become accustomed to. Imagine Star Wars without being able to ...

While I’ve heard mixed reviews of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (as is typical with Burton films), there’s no denying the charm of these Alice in Wonderland-inspired mini LEGO sculptures. Including the Mad Hatter (played by a very Madonna-esque Johnny Depp in Burton’s outing) and Alice herself. I believe designer Tommy Williamson was going for a relatively�minimalist�theme, using as few ...

The second I saw this head I couldn’t help but be reminded of Hannibal Lector and his preference for dining on human flesh. This is almost too realistic to eat, unlike the orange-yellow Cheddar color of the Lincoln Cheese bust. Something tells me I’d get that weird, uncanny feeling when it came time to dig in to the Steve Jobs ...

We’ve already posted about several shower curtains which would fit in with a horror theme, some more subtle then others (we’re looking at you Robert Pattinson curtain!), and we were thinking, there’s gotta be more�accessories�we can add to our bathroom to really make it a bloody, terrifying mess. And wouldn’t you know it? We were right. The Bloody Shower Mat ...

No, I wasn’t kidding. In pretty much every epic battle print I’ve seen featuring a shark, the shark is getting owned, whether it be by an iron-fisted nun or Batman wielding a lightsaber. But then again, I guess the shark really hasn’t had a fair fight. The wrath of God and the Force aren’t really something any creature should mess ...

LEGO master Nathan Sawaya should be no stranger to you. We’ve posted about several of his amazing projects, including his newest piece, a five-foot replica of a Blackberry Tour 9360. We were lucky enough to have the chance to delve into the brain of a true artistic genius. It’s not everyday you get to speak to a geek icon, so ...

Iconic LEGO sculpture Nathan Sawaya is at it again, and boy does he know his audience. We’ve discussed how Sawaya proved to us the fine line between LEGO art and LEGO play, but he’s just taken it a step further with his newest creation – a five-foot tall LEGO model of the Blackberry Tour 9360. But don’t worry, Sawaya didn’t ...

Seeing as our key demographic is post-menopausal woman, I find this Tampon Chandelier quite fitting. Say buh-bye Aunt Flo! What do you do with the warehouse of tampons you have stored away in your underground shelter? Why, you create of course! Just as the Gummi Bear Chandelier was perfect for recovering gummy addicts, the Tampon Chandelier provides a classy way ...

Those rippling muscles, the sharpened sword, the puff of ginger hair volumized to perfection. No, it’s not Rorschach. It can only mean one thing. Coco is in the hizz-ouse. You must vote for this over at Threadless. NOW! Link [via]

There’s a designer in everybody, just trying to get out. One of the first lessons and designer studying their craft will learn is the very basics of color theory (colors can even alter human emotion and physiology, as we’ve seen). The RGB diagram has become an iconic staple of the design world and for good reason, it’s simplistic beauty is ...
