What geek worth her NaCl doesn’t have a brick-shaped soft spot in her heart for Legos? Especially when you add the iconic Star Wars images into the mix? For Star Wars fans, this magic formula played out during Star Wars Celebration 5, in Orlando, Florida, earlier this month. Lego blocked out a huge area in [...]

I had a bit of fun playing around on the Meez website, today. Meez are not “new” online dress up dolls, by any stretch; however, they’ve updated a lot of the accessories, backgrounds, etc., including a nice array of geeky accoutrement. Some examples, you ask?

This is one of the most original and incredibly well done – not to mention roll around giggling funny – Star Wars tributes I’ve ever heard. (And yes, I’ve heard a lot of them, don’t ask….) This was performed by Cory Vidal, with 4-part harmony vocals by Moosebutter. If you’d like to make this song [...]
