7 geeky cakes that might be too beautiful to eat

It’s a tough call. On one hand, the detail and craftsmanship of these wonderful creations should be preserved for as long as cake can stay without rotting.

The folks over at… Continue reading 7 geeky cakes that might be too beautiful to eat

Geek blast from the past: St. John Publications 3D comics

It’s getting more difficult all the time to blow the minds of kids today. They’re more computer literate before hitting junior high than most of their parents. Toddlers can work an iPad before they can tie their shoe. The graphics on video games and movies are real enough to fool the eye (something we tested… Continue reading Geek blast from the past: St. John Publications 3D comics

Is Christopher Nolan the most appealing part about Man of Steel?

The question has a pretty obvious answer. People would have been excited if Danny DeVito was the producer.

Geek awesomeness of the day: the steampunk motorcycle of your dreams

One may debate whether or not this is truly “steampunk” or if it’s just a modified motorcycle made to harken to a more leather and metal day of old. Since it doesn’t run on steam, technically it might be better classified as “dieselpunk” or something like that.

Where can we get a hold of the Batmobile documentary?

It’s a shame that I didn’t see this until after Comicon was over. I might have attended had I known that this would be there. Every Batmobile displayed.
