Laugh. Read. Write. Repeat.
I am a nerd and proud of it. I dance for no reason. I dabble in yoga. I don't like violence. I am ultimately seeking the perfect Zen lifestyle. I love Star Wars more than I can possibly say, and Doctor Who is a big deal to me. Travel is on my mind a lot, and there is a lot of the planet left for me to see. I don't bite, and I'll answer any question you ask me, so don't be shy and click my button. :p

Cardboard Bonsai Garden by s4loking
Finding your own personal zen is hard especially when you don’t live on a nearly-inaccessible mountaintop nor have the patience to prune dwarf trees. User s4loking takes the nagging task of upkeep and quiet contemplation out of the mix with his instructions on how to build your own faux-bonsai zen garden using a picture frame, sand, and cardboard. Learn to create your own miniature shrine to dirty boxes over at the Instructables.

Star Wars-inspired “Venn Solo” by Rob Go, available from shirtoid.
A little bit scoundrel, a little bit scruffy looking nerf herder, all Han Solo.
Yeah.. I really want to make this. I forget where I got this from- anyone remember who designed it? If I end up making it, I want to show it to the original designer.
Does anyone know the original designer of this?
Pixelated Haunted Mirror
It’s not dark magicks, it’s science! Which is close enough, I spose. Grab yourself an IOIO board, an antique mirror, and a specialized Android app and you can upload your own static and moving images, set to a proximity sensor that boots up when somebody approaches, hopefully scaring the pixelated bejeezus out of them. Catch all the How-To’s over at Instructables and check out the video of some of the animations below:

Chimerical Key Necklaces by Keyper’s Cove
Until I discovered these clandestine artifacts online, I thought keys were mostly for dropping while you fumbled to unlock your door after a late night of binge drinking… I had no idea they could also be used to open mystical wormholes to other realms or the tombs of forgotten heathen deities. Turns out you can wear them too! Why does no one tell me these things. Now if only someone can find the key to my heart. All key necklaces available for purcase at etsy.

Star Wars Ewok and Chewie Fur Dolls by Lucia Vargas
The sad reality of life is you will never have your very own Ewok or Bigger Ewok to hug you to sleep. This wont happen, I’m sorry to be the one to break this to you. But next to a dog or musk ox, you can purchase the next best thing with these custom fur dolls at etsy. You’ll still need to make the requisite RAWGAGGAHAGAGHH sounds yourself, though.
