The Nintendo Lunchbox Entertainment System

February 17th, 2012 No comments

I’d have killed for this as a kid… Heck I’d probably kill for it now. What do you do with a broken N.E.S.? Turn it into a lunch box of course!  And for good measure you’d better use the controller as a handle .

The Pedobear Hoodie

February 17th, 2012 No comments

I laughed my guts out when I saw this hoodie from Canada Cosplay, then I balked at the price… $175 Canadian! That’s mental! If you don’t know what Pedobear is then you can read about it on Wikipedia.

The shop also sells a Unicorn Hoodie:

And a Nyan Cat Scarf. I have to admit I kind of want the Nyan Cat scarf… It’s only $40 Canadian which is about £30 + P&P

The job market is cut throat, and every parent want to give their kid whatever edge they can to get ahead in it. What better way to do this than to start them off learning HTML and CSS before they can even talk? The above HTML for Babies and the below CSS for Babies are both available from Code Babies for just $8.99 they are also available at Amazon in the US but not in the UK :(

The same person who made the GameBoy Dress I blogged about ages ago is selling an Etch-A-Sketch mini skirt. She’ll put any drawing you want on the Etch-A-Sketch apparently.

Go check it out on her Etsy shop.

I saw this image on Facebook and it reminded me of the image below. I’ve worked in both the music industry and in the software development and you see this almost every day…

Things are over specified, over designed over sold, and under delivered constantly…

The Above R2D2 Apron is just one of many Geeky Aprons available to buy at Haute Mess’ Etsy Store you can also get Darth Vader, Harry Potter and Wonder Woman Themed ones. I’m not sure if the intent is for them to be used on a daily basis though, they do mention cooking a cleaning in them but the emphasis seems to be on photo shoots and entertaining whilst wearing them, here are a few more samples:

I’m on my iPad so I can’t chase up the attribution for this image properly at the moment… Its by Aaron Williams of Do Gooder Press. I looked there and he has a bunch of we comics one of which I assume this was published on.

I saw this days ago now I feel like it’s old news as it was posted on BoingBoing this morning :(

Why am I too busy to actually write all the blog posts I want to?

In other news I’ve been meaning to read the comic for a while because having seen and really enjoyed the movie I felt it deserved a look see. I really didn’t like the comic, that also saddens me…

Books For Geeky Babies…

December 9th, 2011 No comments

While I object to the use of the word “nerd” I love the concept of this Nerd Baby Colouring  in Book (Yes I spelt  ”colouring”  correctly). If/when I have kids they will be getting a copy of this book by Tiffan Yard it seems to me that there is a whole industry based on selling stuff like this to relatively geeky parents as a couple of days ago I spotted another book entitled Introductory Calculus For Infants by Omi M. Inouye which is available at ThinkGeek:

calculus

I reckon there is a huge market for this and I’m going to start work on “The Very Hungry Paramecium” and the ”Amoeba Who Was Wfraid Of The Dark” immediately…

Land of Rapture have some very classy looking video game related jewellery, for sale, they may just be printouts of game icons on resin in lockets, rings, cuff links Etc… but they are none the less really cool. They also seem to have pixel microbead things, but everyone and their dog on Etsy is selling those…
