Robot Art? Yes, indeed, you read that right. Starting October 23, 2010, visitors to MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA, are in for a big surprise: a work of art conceived and created without human hands. From designbloom: …diaz’s ‘geometric death frequency—141’, a sculpture made from 420,000 black spheres made and assembled by robotics. the […]
Goodbye, Prius. If you’re the kind of geek who’s been waiting for a hybrid concept to come along that really turns heads, you’re in luck. Today, as part of its 75th anniversary, Jaguar has released one humdinger of a concept car that’s not only drop-dead gorgeous and energy efficient, but it goes fast, my friends. […]
One of geekdom’s ultimate fantasy women, Metroid star Samus Aran, was recently seen in various stages of undress at a burlesque show in L.A. For those of you with sensitive eyes, don’t worry, you won’t see Samus (as performed by Courtney Cruz of The Devil’s Playground) completely naked in this post, just very lightly clad. […]
It’s a rarely disputed fact among the geek contingent that conventions, by and large, are a kind of rite of passage. (If you haven’t gotten the convention achievement, you really should get on that, by the way.) And what’s not to love? There are as many conventions these days as there are fandoms, all across […]
The 80’s were a fertile time for film making, but there are few cult classics from that era that have such a resonating impact as The Ghostbusters, Gremlins and The Goonies.

Too often forgotten as just “kid’s stuff”, there have been some truly excellent cartoons that combine science fiction and animation in absolutely […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single geek in possession of a good dice bag, must be in want of a geek lady with whom to roll his dice. One of the themes I’ve noticed, when writing about geek girls in general, is that many of our readers feel a little out of […]
Comic-Con is over, and attendees have been back to the real world for a few days. Meanwhile, we’ve had a chance to look at some of the pictures that our readers sent in, taken at the event. Here are some of our favorites! From Daniel, a stormtrooper with a new batch of hardware (and a […]
A disturbance, I hear you say? Hell yes. Behold: Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk. [Via imgur]
From Black Holes to Blood Suckers I couldn’t help but notice some trends in yesterday’s post about black holes in our geek lives. Not only did we see some interesting omissions in people’s geeky educations, but there were also quite a few confessions. (Really, people, not reading The Lord of the Rings? And you call […]
