Hasta La Gadget!

England has been having quite a bad winter this year, with snow continuing well into this month. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if Doctor Who landed his TARDIS somewhere in the UK and encountered this… a snow Dalek.

Thankfully, Davros didn’t create an actual snow Dalek. It’s just a harmless sculpture made by DeviantArtist E-The-Zombie and her sister Fezhead11, and it’s not even in the UK.

While a snow Dalek might want to exterminate you, the good news is that you can actually just pour warm water over it to put it out of commission. I suppose that’s easier than having to install staircases everywhere.

This Millennium Falcon sled probably won’t do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, but if there is snow, this ship has got it where it counts. Sean Murray built this awesome sled for an office event – and also for his Star Wars loving daughter to enjoy.

Each year, Sean’s job holds a Winter carnival where each section forms a team and selects a theme. So he put a team together and chose Star Wars. One of the events was a human dogsled race – and what better ship for a dogsled race than the Falcon? After all, Chewbacca was inspired by an Alaskan Malamute, a dog best know for its ability to pull a sled.

The Falcon sled is made entirely of cardboard and mounted to a plastic toboggan. While the cardboard might not hold up to snow as well as the mass-produced Falcon sled, this one is way cooler, plus it’s a great way to get around Hoth.

Well done Sean. It would be fun to see two kids inside dressed like Han and Chewie.

It’s March, which mean it’s still a little colder than you want it to be. Which means eventually you’ll ask yourself why in the hell is it still cold. Which will lead to yourself questioning why does it have to be cold at all? And then you’ll see this converted silo in Cedar Falls, Iowa and the cold, winter, slushy snow, all of it will make complete sense. The world gets cold so that people can create an epic ice climbing wall. More »

For their latest creation, the folks at Signal Snowboards traveled to Italy where they took advantage of skilled local artisans to create what has to be the world’s first functional glass snowboard. More »

Over the weekend, New York-based redditor Brian Maffitt aimed a projector—playing The Lorax—at the blizzard which struck the east coast and photographed the result. The images are a beautiful and psychedelic take on the pure-white flakes that fell. More »
