Push Pin Art

27 03 2009

When nerds are bored and pushpins are nearby, this is what happens

This is all on a table protected by some Plexiglas.  Pretty sweet coffee table if you ask me

Samus!!  Honestly she was the only non Mario pushpin video game character I could find.  She still rocks

Mario jumping over a shell.  Good move my Italian friend!

This image is linked to detailed instructions on how to make your own pushpin Mario.

And this is what happens when CIS students use their spare time for 2 and half semesters to do something other than meeting girls. :)

Anyone a coinisure of pushpin art?

Toilet Paper Cozies

20 03 2009

I’ve always found the toilet paper cozy a strange thing.  Why exactly does it need a cover?  Is it cold?  Does it feel naked?  But, I guess if you are going to dress up your toiletpaper, you might as well have fun with it.

This TP cozy looks like, well, TP.  I feel it kind of defeats the purpose, but then again, I don’t know what the purpose is….

This little piggy hides your TP, he’s squeezablely soft!

This little sweater is to make sure your TP stays warm in the cold winter months.   You know, because it goes outside all the time….

Really?  Wow, just, wow.  Unnecessary.

This is my obvious favorite, I love sushi.  I love it so much I’m willing to overlook the fact that this sushi is made to hide TP.

On a different note, I’m sure knit TP is extra soft, but WAY more expensive.   I bet this roll doesn’t need a cozy!

More Shoes!

16 03 2009

Just when I thought the Video Game shoes had dried up and I would have to find greener fields, these two pairs of shoes came to play!

Katamari Damacy Nike Dunks.  Holy Crap.  I want to know where one would purchase these, I can’t even find them on the Nike website.  *sigh* oh well, too much pink for me anyway.  They still rock.

and some distinctly less corporate shoes, simply made by a girl out of cheap Payless shoes.  Top notch work!

Do the rest of you own really cool geeky shoes and I’m just out of the loop?  I’ve seen so many lately I’m beginning to wonder…..

Cat toys!

10 03 2009

My cat’s have far too many toys that they don’t even play with, but I’m tempted to buy them a few more.

Computer nerd?  Get a mouse for your cat, err,  a computer mouse….

Tolkien Nerd?  One ring to rule them all, and in the darkness wake you up for no good reason!

Video Game Nerd?  Now Kitty wont feel as jelous when your playing Resident Evil 5 next week

Math Nerd?  Get this math camp set for your feline friends, mine can’t count past, well, they can’t count.  Maybe math camp would be a good idea…

D&D Nerd? Get Kitty a D4!  The maker of all these toys says she is willing to make any of your favorite dice as a special order.  So send your cats to math camp, and then teach them how to role play.  

Go check out the Etsy shop all these toys are found in.  The shop is appropriately called GEEKitty and it’s pretty awesome.

Shoes

4 03 2009

I love shoes.  I really do, much to my husbands chagrin.  I’ve found a few pairs of shoes that really get my geek up.

These are pretty sweet, not normally what I go for, but for the nostalgia I think its worth it.  I was never allowed to have gaming consoles as a child.  I was informed they would “rot my brain” so I never got the grey and red box my friends had, but I still remember it fondly.  My buddy across the street would play Mike Tyson’s Punch Out for hours and I would “take bets” from the “audience” on who would win while I watched him play.  I’ve always liked watching other people play video games….

I’ve never played Bomber Man, but I love Castle Crashers!  I could play that game all day!  I want to unlock all the characters, get all the animals, find all the weapons and max out my stats!  It’s way more fun when you have a bunch of people to play with.  I was so glad we bought four controllers for our 360 after we downloaded this game.  We even convinced one of our friends to buy it so we could play him online *sigh* I think I may need to play it today, no anime tonight!

 

In other news, my Godson turned One this weekend.  Yay Elon!

I’ll post pics of him later when his folks have a chance to put them online :)
