Hasta La Gadget!

Action figure modder Sillof loves to remake popular characters by casting them in the style of different eras or genres. But when the owners of the Best Western Denver Southwest hotel approached him last Spring, they wanted him to combine two popular franchises. But he stepped up to the challenge and delivered. Welcome to Seusstastic Park!

The hotel owners asked Sillof to mashup Jurassic Park with Dr. Seuss because they were giving their business a dinosaur-themed makeover. Also because they just love Dr. Seuss. Sillof came up with Catahaturuses, a Lorceritax, Dilos, Yellosneechtors, and the most terrifying creature of them all, the Grinchasaurus rex. He also came up with a Seuss-ified version of the Jurassic Park gate and car.

But that’s not all. In true Dr. Seuss fashion, the hotel owners provided Sillof with the first and last stanzas of a poem about Seusstastic Park, and Sillof filled in the rest of the poem. You can read the poem on Sillof’s website. Sillof said he had fun with the project and is thrilled with how it turned out. He also said that the hotel owners may auction off the figures for charity, so keep an eye out on the Best Western Facebook page if you want to own a piece of Seusstastic Park.

You might have heard of NeverWet when it was first launched. It’s basically a waterproofing spray that repels liquids so you can keep your stuff dry.

That’s the spray’s intended use, but Home Depot community members Nathan Sharratt and Dana0814 came up with an extremely creative way to use it.

Armed with stencils and a couple of cans of NeverWet, they set out to create street art while taking full advantage of the spray’s hydrophobic qualities. Their art only appears when it rains, because it’s the only part of the street that stays dry during a downpour.

Nothing smells more inviting in the morning than toast. If you want to conjure up images of hot toast and warm fuzzy feelings associated with a full stomach in the morning whenever someone comes close, then you might want to grab a bottle of the Federation of Bakers’ Eau de Toast.

It’s a toast-scented perfume that’ll give you the delicious scent of perfectly-toasted bread with every spritz.

Models at the London Fashion Week will be wearing the scent during the event. You’d have to wonder, though, if what they’ll be wearing has anything to do with breakfast or food, because that’s probably what everyone at the show will be thinking of once they get a whiff of this.

If you’re over 18 years old and live in the UK, Isle of Man, or Channel Islands, then you might have been able to score a free sample of the stuff before they ran out. For the rest of us who don’t live there, then we can only imagine the smell of this new scent. Obviously it’s pretty easy to imagine.

So you’re engrossed in a game of Settlers of Catan and don’t want to leave the game board to grab something to eat. What will you do? You could call for a delivery order, or you could eat something much more appropriate, courtesy of the geektastic cuisine of Chris-Rachael Oseland.

Her new book, Wood for Sheep offers tasty recipes for Settlers from all walks of life.

The book includes over 100 recipes designed for hexagonal service, including many for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free diets, lactose intolerants, and low-carb eaters. Inside, you’ll find full meals and snacks for hungry board gamers.

The book offers two main sections – one focused on edible, configurable food maps, the second one focused on recipes with sheep and grain as well as clever uses of wood, brick and ore.

The book is available now over on Amazon for about $13 (USD) – a savings of about 34% off the retail price of $20. That money will give you enough to pick up some hexagonal dishes to go with.

I don’t know about you, but food just looks so much better crammed into hexagons.

The modest ranch home pictured below is the location where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer and built the first computers to bear the company name. It could soon become a protected historical site as well.

The unassuming suburban home is located in Los Altos, California and the seven-member Los Altos Historical Commission is now planning a historical property evaluation for the property. The home is located at 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California and if turned into a historic property it would have to be preserved in perpetuity.

Jobs moved to the home when he was in seventh grade along with his foster parents and lived there through high school. The attached garage is where the first fifty Apple 1 computers were built. The home doesn’t look like it would be very expensive, but the three bedroom, two bath house, which was constructed in 1952, still manages to have a value of about $1.5 million according to the website Zillow, thanks to the ridiculously inflated real estate prices in the area.
