08.01.07 by Widge @ 2:25 am I swear to Buddha, WETA is going to drive geeks to a life of crime. When we first mentioned these gorgeous works of art, we were bracing ourselves for a massive price tag. But $690? Oh, you vicious bastards, if only they didn't look like they were worth it--that's the truly lethal part of all this. Check out this informercial: And if that wasn't bad enough, there's a fourth gun on the horizon: the Victorious Mongoose 1902a. We can only hope that the upcoming book from Dark Horse will be more up our financial alley. Curses! Categorized as: Gear

07.28.07 by Widge @ 3:16 pm  So while I was checking around the StudioBo site for this post on Colors Are Overrated, I couldn't help but notice these delightfully sick ceramic bowls, designed to show a ship and a plane in a position of distress, having crashed into your soup. If you had a bowlful of Siege's chili there, you would know that all the little people would have been dead instantly. Categorized as: Art and Gear

07.27.07 by Widge @ 12:16 am  The folks at Cephalopodcast have figured out a way to let people know that the mic is on and could they please go the hell away because you're recording a podcast: an "On Air" sign for your iPod. Just follow his instructions and you won't have to write it on a sticky and place it on your forehead like our friend, Bernard Black. And once that's done, take some masking tape, make "walls" around your desk and bitch at people when they refuse to come through the "door" like a proper person. Categorized as: Gear

07.15.07 by Widge @ 2:41 am  Neatorama points us to some kickass antique (some real, some reproductions) phones for sale at Distinctive Telephones. We call them Miriam's Dead phones, as a nod to a Dylan Moran routine. But basically all you need to know is that they could only be used in hand to hand combat by a large ogre, since they're so freaking heavy. Slamming the receiver down, though, is not only satisfying but a good upper body workout. Categorized as: Gear

07.04.07 by Widge @ 6:21 pm  This is a brilliant mashup between steampunkery and Venture Bros. I want one. Of course, I don't know it would ever go off, but still. I want one. Categorized as: Gear

04.11.07 by Widge @ 3:16 am  Granted, I'm so allergic to cats that drinking cat tea would kill me stone dead. And if you're thinking of trying to poison me, I start itching when I enter a room cats only once thought about entering. So it's not the sort of thing you could surprise me with.

02.28.07 by Widge @ 3:07 am  Okay, we're not ones for sleep around here. But if Stephen Fry's voice was coaxing us to reach for the arms of Morpheus, we might be convinced. Although I think he's a bit too kind for his voice to wake me up, since I sleep like the dead. I need something a lot more like this. Categorized as: Gear

02.04.07 by Widge @ 8:25 pm  This is impressive. A guy has taken a Trans Am and pimped it out to be just like KITT. Check out the full eBay auction for more pics. William Daniels not included. Although what you need is to buy it and pretend it's from the non-existent pilot from the failed UK version of the show. Then contact these guys about working up plenty of things for the car to say.

12.27.06 by Widge @ 6:56 pm  Seibei does excellent work, as we've told you before. Now they're working to expand the Zombie Hunting League line of products. When you can't wear your jersey out and about, never fear: you can carry your membership card in your wallet. Not only does it have important information, like blood type, it also has a section with instructions for anyone who finds you've been infected. Sweet. Check out the draft of the card.

12.19.06 by Widge @ 9:33 pm  Wooden lamps inspired by the Star Trek franchise? Sure, why not. Unique Furniture Outlet (yes, we get it) out of the UK creates these and they're the perfect thing to illuminate all of the Trek memorabilia you own...which probably started to trail off during the Voyager years.
