A Geek in Yellowstone

Last week, the wife and I took a few days off and journeyed to Yellowstone. Even though it was my first time there, I pretty much figured I would see some really awesome wonders of nature. But what I didn’t expect to see was some great geeky ..read more

Sketch me something to win an “Empire” drawing

Thirty years ago today, the second chapter in the Star Wars saga, “The Empire Strikes Back” came out. This week I’ve been celebrating it’s milestone by giving away Empire themed sketches to our readers and twitter followers. Thank you to everyone who participated in my Empire Strikes Back sketch give away over the last couple of days. I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.

I’ve got one more drawing to give away, but I spent  a lot more time on this one, so there’s a little more involved in winning it than answering trivia. Once again, here’s the rundown  on how to win it.

I want to see you draw something ..read more

Sci-Fi paper craft

Looking for a creative weekend project that involves making your favorite sci-fi character or vehicle out of paper? Then you might want to try out the patterns from the site SF Paper Craft Gallery. The designs, created by Shunichi Makino, can be printed out onto paper (preferably a light card stock) and put together using glue . They range from extremely easy  (the Borg cube) to insanely complicated (AT-AT or one of the Enterprises).

One bit of warning though — there’s not much in the way of readable instructions, the site’s mostly Japanese with only a handful of english instructions. So unless you like putting together puzzles, ..read more

Action figures they haven’t made yet but should
