Hasta La Gadget!

Being a man, I’ve never been a stay-at-home mom. I imagine it can get pretty crazy, and at times boring and lonely. When the kids aren’t screaming and pooping all over the place, you are still cleaning up after all of that screaming and pooping. It’s enough to drive you crazy. It’s probably good to have a hobby. Like say, building AT-ATs out of diaper boxes.


That’s what stay-at-home mom, Kelly did in her spare time. She had a ton of Huggies boxes just laying around so she just did her amazingly crafty thang and whipped up this AT-AT that is super absorbent and stronger than the other leading brands.

From the looks of this thing, Kelly is super talented. I don’t remember my mom ever doing anything cool like that. While Kelly was creating this, her kids were probably in the corner throwing a (Boba) Fit… I hear you groaning.

Mimoco has been offering Star Wars themed flash drives for a long time now. In fact, the latest batch of five themed flash drives is the eighth series to come from the company. I happen to think this series has what might be the coolest of all the Star Wars Mimobot flash drives the company has ever offered.

Any male geek out there who is a fan of Star Wars probably remembers one specific scene from Return of the Jedi and that would be the scene where Princess Leia is clad in a gold bikini and chained to Jabba the Hutt.

Mimoco is offering that Slave Leia flash drive complete with a chain around her neck and a bikini top. Granted the curved nature of the flash drive makes slave Leia a bit more portly than she was back in the 80s.

The series also includes a Jabba the Hutt flash drive, Admiral Ackbar flash drive (It’s a trap!), and Luke Skywalker Jedi drive. While that Princess Leia flash drive is most appealing to me, anyone intent on collecting these Mimobots want to keep an eye out at San Diego Comic-Con for a very limited edition Biker Scout drive. Only 1000 of those will be made and they will only be available at Comic-Con. The drives are available in 8 GB to 64 GB capacities here.

YouTuber UnlimitedMind42′s Doctor Who Minecraft machinima is so awesome you might not mind if the Twelfth Doctor was Dr. Steve. It’s all here – a TARDIS that’s actually bigger on the inside, time travel and a blocky David Tennant.

At first it seems that the Doctor is only traveling through space and not through time, but be patient. Who am I kidding – patience is a nonexistent virtue on the Internet. Skip to 3:00 in the video to see the proof that he is indeed traveling through time.

UnlimitedMind42 should have used the Weeping Angels mod for an additional reference. Again, this is not a mod, just a fun video, but you can get the textures that UnlimitedMind42 made – including the David Tennant skin – here.

Like most gamers that grew up in the 80s, I’m a big fan of Super Mario Bros. This is one of the most iconic games from my youth, right up there along with Pac-Man. In tribute to Mario, an artist named Chris Carlson has created a truly epic piece of 3D chalk artwork.

It’s amazing to me that the image he draws is made with plain old chalk, yet looks completely three-dimensional. Carlson and his friend shot a time-lapse video to give you an idea how he creates the 3D art. It’s very impressive how he pulls it off starting with a flat perspective grid used to draw all the blocks for the pixel art Mario. He also uses a large metal ruler and copious amounts of chalk.

You need to watch the video for yourself to see how he pulls it off.  The video even has the familiar Super Mario theme song in the background, ensuring that it will be stuck in your head all day. I wonder how long it took Chris to create the image – it’s hard to tell since it’s a time-lapse video.

These superhero tutus are pretty adorable and will instantly turn your little girl into a member of the Junior Justice League or Anklebiting Avengers – and that is pretty awesome, because it gets more little girls interested in superheros. Let’s face it, comic books don’t always write women characters all that well, so maybe these tutus will inspire a new generation of female comic book writers several years from now.

These come from the Goody Goody Tutus Etsy store. There are tutus for Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Superman and many more. You name it, they have it. They are just amazingly cute.

Now, everyone buy these for their kid and we can put on the most amazing superhero ballet ever. Team Tutu assemble!
