Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve seen some really cool Star Trek themed gear and even rooms over the years. If you are a fan of the original series, you might appreciate the décor in the home of Line Rainville. She has been a fan of the original Star Trek series since her youth.

When she grew up and got her own house, she went about decorating it in a Star Trek theme. The project started as a Trek themed home theater in the basement and grew from there. The house now has parts of Spock’s room, the bridge, and even a transporter platform. Some items in the home are purchased props, while others were created from scratch.

I’ll say much of the décor looks like 60′s and 70′s resale furniture to me, then again I am not a fan of the original series. I am definitely more Picard than Kirk. Regardless, the overall effect will make some Star Trek fans jealous for sure. The entire project cost her about $30,000 to accomplish and over a year of work.

Stargate is a big deal in my house. My wife and I have been married for nearly 17 years now and our first date was to see Stargate when it hit theaters. After we were married, the first time we agreed to splurge on cable was when the Stargate SG-1 series was on Showtime. We moved to satellite solely to be able to watch the show and its spinoffs when they moved to Syfy. We really like the movie and series.

Some DIY geeks who like the franchise as much as we do have begun construction on a life-size replica of the Stargate. PodPadStudios’ replica is being made from MDF and wood studs. The guys behind the build say that when its done it will be complete with lighting effects.

About the only thing it won’t have it its own event horizon. The coolest part about this is if you want to build your own, they’ve been documenting all of the construction steps over on Instructables.

Their goal is to complete the build by April 2014. We look forward to seeing pics of the finished build.

This will be the best video that you see all day. It was made by Bodega Studios, a production company based out of New York and San Francisco. It is called Back to the Holidays and instead of starring Michael J. Fox, it stars a marshmallow.

I assume that you’ve unmuted the video below by now, but if not, what are you waiting for? It’s not everyday that you see a marshmallow driving a DeLorean.

This is the most amusing stop motion movie I have seen since… Sorry. Just got distracted by like a million other Vines. So where was I? Oh yeah, this is basically the coolest Vine you will see all day, maybe even all week. Or all year, since the year is almost over.

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

This tasty gingerbread version of Chewbacca comes from Craftster member kala who does a great job making fine wookie hair and makes a mean bandoleer. It may not be as impressive as a Death Star gingerbread treat, but this guy is pretty darn cute and probably just as tasty.

This is why they call him Chewie, people! I like the eyes, but don’t want him to look at me when I bite into him.
