If you are in the market for some nerdy pillows – specifically of the Doctor Who variety – here are some great designs from Etsy seller FourEyesHandmade. This Dalek pillow is my favorite of the bunch – with a bit of a minimalist design.


If you have to exterminate wakefulness, just rest your head on this one for $32(USD) and dream sweet dreams of killing the Doctor’s most feared enemies. There’s also a sweet TARDIS pillow for the same price, though it would be cooler if it were actually shaped like a TARDIS.

My second favorite is this Cybermen pillow, also for $32(USD). This one looks like it is based on the modern Cybermen, not the classic version.

These are some neat pillows to rest your head on after your next Doctor Who marathon. You can find all three of these designs, as well as a variety of other cool and geeky pillows over at Four Eyes Handmade’s Etsy shop.

71 hours. That’s almost 3 days. That’s how long it takes to sort 65,000 LEGO bricks of varying colors. We know this because one dynamic duo has just accomplished the task.

Daniel Larsson and Tomas Redigh (of the Swedish band Rymdreglage) are creating the sequel to their famous stop motion LEGO music video 8-Bit Trip. In preparation for the task, they poured out 100 boxes of LEGO pieces that each contained 650 blocks. They then had two cameras snap a photo every 20 seconds over 71 hours of sorting by color.

The time-lapse video was created using the 12,775 photos that each memory card ended up with when they were done. It’s a pretty impressive feat. I would get way too bored trying to sort out that many LEGO pieces. The 65,000 sorted blocks will be used to make a followup to their first video, to be titled “8-Bit Trip 2″. For now, sit back and enjoy the original:

I’m not the best Settlers of Catan player, I’m going to be honest.  By “not the best,” I mean that I always lose.  By “honest,” I mean that I’m a lying little rat in the sewer, because NOBODY EVER BEATS ME AT ANYTHING.  You don’t understand the level of competition that I am at – I will burn down your house before I let you beat me in a game of squash.  I will put hundreds of forks into your front lawn before I let you take me down in COD.  I will steal your homegrown tomatoes even if you let me win, because I’m a jerk and those things are delicious.

This Settlers of Catan cake is one of a kind, because it actually can be pulled apart!  Each of the hexes comes off as a bite-sized piece of deliciousness, and the board even has little edible pieces!  “Those are plastic.”  That in no way indicates that they are not edible!  *Eats pieces*

That giant Kalli Cakes logo is obstructing my view, and it’s only on there because the creator is afraid of Samoan pirates internet pirates stealing her stuff.  I always give credit where credit is due, as long as that credit makes me look better.  I feed off of public opinion, my precious. You pirating internet sleaze-bags have ruined my chances of experiencing this cake in all of its glory!

If you like the Settlers of Catan cake, I suggest that you check out the Ninja Cake Pops and the Walking Dead Birthday Cake.  I’m not sure if you will like them, but I like them, and I push my views onto others.  People generally don’t like me, and I generally don’t like people, so it’s a kind of symbiotic ignoring-ship.

This human skull leather purse is perfect for goth chicks, anyone in the Addams family and of course women immortals in the Highlander universe. There can be only one! Are you the girlfriend of Connor or Duncan McCloud? After your swordfight and the quickening that follows, just put your trophy head in this thing and return home. No one will question what’s inside.


This hand-formed leather skull clutch bag purse from Griffin Leather has been formed and tempered to keep its shape. It also has fiberglass/resin reinforcement where needed. Plus, it’s been dyed ox blood, of course. How can you pass this one up? Well, sadly it is already sold, but I’m sure that if you asked nicely, they would make one for you.

Which is the sexiest lightsaber ever? Luke’s? Vader’s? Darth Maul’s? I reject that last one on principal, simply because it was in the prequels and the lightsaber battles sucked so bad. No, this custom double-bladed beauty right here is the sexiest ever as far as I’m concerned.

This weapon was completely hand-crafted by Slothfurnace, who is known for making some of the finest Jedi weapons this planet has ever seen. This blade is modeled after the saber featured in the SWTOR video game. Yep, this is the undisputed king of lightsabers in my opinion. If you’ve seen sexier, I’d like to see it.

Slothfurnace clearly knows how to make a kick-ass weapon. It’s just too bad that no one has the Jedi powers to use them in this universe. You can find more pics of the build process here.
