Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve seen the Time Lords many times throughout countless Doctor Who episodes. However we know very little about their culture. What do they like to do for fun? What kind of music do they like? Do Time Lords play the ukulele? Who knows? I do know that if you play this TARDIS ukulele, it should strike a chord with you.

While the body of the uke is clearly the Doctor’s TARDIS, I love how they also snuck the Doctor Who logo into the head stock. It is from Etsy seller celentanowoodworks who makes each one to order. In fact, they will honor any request no matter how weird it is. Just tell them and they will build it – assuming it’s a ukulele, that is.

The TARDIS uke will cost you $700(USD). Sure, that’s a lot of dough, but you will have the geekiest ukulele around. Except maybe this one. Or this one.

Art museums aren’t exactly the most exciting places to visit, especially for kids. Sure, there’s a lot of great art to be seen, but there’s not much fun to be had since all you can do is look and not touch.

Reinventing the concept of art museums though is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, where Torafu Architects created an interactive art gallery inside the museum that was designed specifically for kids.

It’s completely unlike most art museums in every sense. It features reproductions of some of the most well-known pieces of art with a spooky, horrific twist. Some of the paintings look like they came straight out of Harry Potter (if the series had a horror version, that is), like a portrait where its subject’s eyes keep darting back and forth.

There’s even a secret passageway that leads to the interior of the walls where these paintings are hung, where kids can touch art and manipulate what’s on the frames from the inside.

You can check out more images on Torafu’s website.

Two of my favorite things in all the world are cars and bacon. I think bacon is the reason God put pigs on earth and the man who invented bacon should be immortalized on Mount Rushmore. I also happen to think that the Ford Fiesta is one of the least attractive cars on the market.

However, I do like bacon and Ford has announced some custom bacon graphics specifically for the 2014 Fiesta. The most bacontastic of the wraps is the one you see in the image above – showing 12 salty and crispy slices of bacon spread all around the car. That is a somewhat over the top representation of your love for salty pork in my book.

Ford does have a few other bacon graphics that you can add to your car if you’re looking for something a little more subtle. My favorite are the bacon racing stripes, a pair of bacon strips that you can place on the hood of your Fiesta that resemble classic dual racing stripes.

Ford also offers the side of bacon graphics with two individual strips of bacon wrapped over the rear wheels. Ford created these bacon themed wraps in celebration of International Bacon Day. Yes, that is the official holiday for bacon, which happens on August 31 each year.

When you have the Alien Facehugger clock on your wall, your days are numbered. When you have a clock like this it doesn’t really matter what time it is. The important thing is that you get the hell out of there and avoid getting facehugged by it.

This awesome sculptural clock was created by Rockstar Games artist Chris ‘Eddie Escher’ Edwards. He used polymer clay, wire and plastic to make it. It’s hand-painted and lacquered, and the clock has a quartz movement and glow in the dark hands. Oh, and it looks like it could crawl off of the face of clock easily and hunt you down.

If you happen to live in the UK, you can check it out in person at the Rapture Gallery at 2 Westmoreland Street in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. You can buy it for about $310(USD), assuming you can live with this thing on your wall.

Experience the softer side of Tony Stark with this awesome Iron Man amigurumi. He is completely adorable and also nicely detailed.

As you can see in the picture, Iron Man’s mask even flips up. As a bonus the helmet also comes off completely, revealing Tony’s head and he even has facial hair. Hug him, squeeze him, cuddle with him in bed. It’s all good. No one will know what a softy you are.

He’s the cutest Avenger. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to get all of that detail. In the end he turned out perfect. I wish I had one to put on the shelf and admire for myself.
