Hasta La Gadget!

Many fans really love the Doctor Who episode Vincent and The Doctor. People love a good historical story anyway and the episode was neat. It had the Doctor and Vincent van Gogh fighting monsters along with Amy Pond and even a special painting of Starry Night that featured the TARDIS.

This embroidered version of the Starry TARDIS was a gift to jfer007 from Greys Princess over on craftster.org. This gift giving was part of a larger craft swap in the community, but this is probably the best item of the bunch.

I would so hang this on my wall. Its creator did a great job reproducing Van Gogh’s work with a TARDIS in it. I’m gonna have to get into that swap. Do you think I could get something cool if I gave them a TARDIS made out out Popsicle sticks?

We’ve seen all kinds of Stormtrooper get-ups, but how about a Sound Trooper? This project by Unbox Therapy is just that. This crazy suit that features 20 JBL Micro 2 speakers attached to a hockey shoulder pad using industrial strength Velcro.

It turns the wearer into a walking speaker fit to broadcast Imperial propaganda or just some cool tunes. The Imperial March is of course best. The JBL Micro 2s are daisy-chained together and connected to a Nexus 4 for sound input. Watch the entire video below if you want to see the build process, or skip to 3:45 to see and hear it in action.

This thing will definitely get you noticed on the street as evidenced above. This is an awesome project. You are your own soundtrack.

Acer has unveiled a Star Trek themed notebook that looks stunning. In fact, it looks like it came right from the bridge of the rebooted Enterprise. The Acer Aspire R7 Star Trek Limited Edition. It kind of looks like the Enterprise herself when opened up halfway.

This special edition notebook features a stainless steel Star Trek logo emblazoned on it too just so you get the point. The R7 also features a repositioned keyboard and trackpad and a high-definition touchscreen mounted on a “revolutionary ‘Ezel’ hinge” that allows it to flip, reverse, lie flat or float – though you don’t need the Star Trek edition to get this feature.

Acer has created only 25 of them and they will be auctioning a single unit off, with the proceeds going to two charities, The Mission Continues and Save the Children.

The computer comes with a Star Trek Into Darkness film poster signed by the cast, special content like wallpapers and videos from the movie, a soundtrack, a download of Star Trek: The Video Game, and Star Trek packaging.

To bid, head on over to http://www.ebay.com/theonlyone. Bidding starts on June 14th. You know your friends won’t have one, so be sure to bid.

Many Star Trek fans needed a drink after seeing the latest movie. For many, the modern Star Trek franchise just seems to miss the mark, but wine never lets you down. Here’s a series of $25 a bottle Star Trek branded wines from Vinasa Winery in Sonoma, California. Die-hard Trekkies, drink up and forget the recent movies. As well as the last couple of TV series.

These wines come in three different bottles commemorating three different episodes from the original series: The City on the Edge of Forever (The Hangover on the Edge of Forever), Mirror Mirror (Who is that handsome devil looking back at me? I want to sleep with that guy!,) and The Trouble with Tribbles (Ok, I’m seeing things now. That’s enough booze for me)

All the wine is the same. Just regular red table wine with a Trek label. And that’s all a geek really needs.

There’s something I love about high-quality notebooks. They will keep your notes pristine for years, and can be easily referenced. Naturally, there are plenty of different good quality notebooks available from other manufacturers like Rhodia, but there’s just something perfect about tracking notes and events in a Star Wars Moleskine Planner.

The 2013-2014 Star Wars Moleskine Planners are for those people who don’t like to always refer to their smartphones for their agenda. There are a total of six different designs available, with two new ones for this year. All of them are available in 12- or 18-month versions with customizable covers.

They start out at $8.95(USD) for the smaller versions up to $24 for the largest over at the Moleskine store.
