Hand farting is a tremendously underrated art form. It’s a wonder that some of the pop songs these days reach the top of the charts, yet hand farting is still yet to have even reached the Billboard echelon. I don’t know about you, but I’d choose hand farting over Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em any day. Especially if the hands happen ...

I’m not sure George Lucas understood the cultural significance Star Wars would have on the geek community. From rabid action figure collectors to entire religions, the world of Star Wars is nothing short of a phenomenon. Name any other film that has generated such a cultural furor. Nothing even comes close. So you can only imagine the geek boner I ...

A perfectly baked cupcake can do strange things to a man. For instance, I hadn’t thought about cupcakes in months before I saw this video and now it feels as though my one existential goal is to get a cupcake in my belly by any means necessary. If you dug this post’s headline, you’ll love the corresponding video. Yes, it ...

Star Wars and Star Trek have been locked in an intrinsically geeky battle since the beginning of modern geeky times. I’ve always been way more of a Star Wars guy, as I’m sure you can clearly tell from just taking a fleeting glace at this very blog, but as a master of the science fiction arts, I have to admire ...

You might not be able to imagine what the internet was like before the debut of YouTube, but there was a time, not too long ago, where internet video went hand in hand with awkward scripting and buggy plug-ins. YouTube changed all that. Five years ago today, the world was forever changed when the first video was uploaded to YouTube ...

Artist James Mylne took on the challenge of recreating Johannes Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring using only one single Bic Cristal pen. Apparently the sort of shading he accomplishes in the portrait is possible using a variety of different pressures. Man, it just boggles my mind that people can do stuff like this. I have trouble successfully composing a ...

YouTube user Freestuff9er and the world of Pokemon take on The Lonely Planet and T-Pain’s much-beloved parody rap “I’m On A Boat” and Poke-fy it. “I’m Gary Oak” is the hip-hop odyssey of the arch-nemesis of Ash Ketchum and grandson of Professor Oak, Gary muthafuckin’ Oak. By the way, I totally knew Misty got around. Her, with that come hither ...

Equipped with some circuitry, a webcam, a NXT LEGO Mindstorm set and plenty of time on his hands, Branislov Kisacanin created Tetris-Bot, the first (to our knowledge at least) LEGO bot to be made specifically to play Tetris. Sure, Tetris-Bot has only made it to level 1 so far, but I think it might just be biding its time. First, ...

Man, I tell ya, if this were my bird I’d bring it with me where ever I went. It can just lounge on my shoulder all day. I only ask of it one thing. Every time I accomplish something… anything… it must sing this song. Did I successfully cross the street? Sing. Did my credit card get accepted at the ...

Much like an enlarged prostate, this LEGO Rube Goldberg machine, left to its own devices, would just keep going and going and going. Some Goldberg machines have a goal, such as creating the perfect cocktail, others are made simply for their geeky aesthetic but this particular device simply is. And it continues to be. With the assistance of various building ...
