She Just Wanted A Dragon
The heart grows a few sizes when I hear stories like this. Little 7 Year Old Sophie wrote a letter to CSIRO asking them to make her a dragon. Their response was a polite “We will look into it” But instead of just a brush off comment they DID look into it! The story went viral and many people offered their support on how they could make a dragon. Even Dreamworks called in and suggested they knew someone who could train...
The Art of Trolling – XBoxSignOut
I do not condone Trolls – people who cause disruption and start fights online for amusement. However, this is such a clever use of the new technology to fool impulsive players into doing something unintentional. On the XBox One (and XBox) there are voice commands that you can issue like so many Star Trek Captains before you. Announcing “XBox” followed by a number of simple commands verbally will cause the XBox to...
Simpsons Lego Set is Real
I am a big Lego fan, and seeing some creations by other super fans is always fun to see, but when they make them officially licensed and available to the public? Now that is awesome. The set will be available next month at the price of $199.99US ($229Cdn). Bit steep, but the attention to detail is incredible. I would consider...

Sailor Moon to return after 20 Years
After 20 years since Sailor Moon was first on the air, we get good news for Sailor Scout fans. Last year the return of Sailor Moon was delayed, but now it looks like it will be a reality. The official website for the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Project announced on Friday that the new Sailor Moon anime will premiere this July. It will stream worldwide via the Niconico service. I wasn’t exactly the target demographic for Sailor...
Star Trek Superfan Lives on the Enterprise
While not the way I would spend $30,000, Line Rainville has made the ultimate domicile transformation and converted her apartment into a shrine of Star Trek brilliance. Not one inch of this home is NOT made to emulate the styling and lifestyle of those who lived on the fictional USS Enterprise NCC-1701. And while the original Enterprise blue prints do not include bathrooms, Ms Rainville’s apartment does. I cannot help but notice...
Panoramic Ball Camera that you can Throw!
You know what I love about crowdfunding? That there are literally no limits. Want to invent a panoramic camera? Why stop there? Make a 360 degree camera! THAT YOU CAN THROW!! And that’s what these guys did. They invented the Panono. The idea is that this camera is not just a multi-lens cam that takes shots in a bunch of directions like the one perched on top of the Google Maps Streetview car. This camera is designed to be thrown...
Glorious Cosplayer of the Week: Riddle’s Messy Wardrobe
A feature we hope can carry on for a long time here is our featured Cosplayer of the Week! This week’s featured Cosplayer is Riki LeCotey of Riddle’s Messy Wardrobe I have been an admirer of Riddle for a long time now, so I love that she can be my first featured Cosplayer. I really like Riddle because aside from being incredibly attractive, she also makes her own costumes, and is a true fangirl. Her enthusiasm around the...
Blackberry Sues Ryan Seacrest’s Tech Startup
Ryan Seacrest is a man with his fingers in many pies, and one of which is a phone accessory startup called Typo. The primary launch product of Typo is an accessory phone case that extends the iPhone to include a tactile keyboard on the bottom. Many sites that reviewed the product made the observation that the device makes your iPhone look like a Blackberry. I don’t disagree with that observation, and it seems Blackberry itself...
Star Wars Comics return to Marvel in 2015
Looks like an end to an era, but not one that comes as any surprise. Dark Horse Comics will lose its Star Wars Licensing in 2015 at which point future Star Wars books will be published under the Marvel Comics imprint. In the press release, Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson states: All things come to pass. So too, do all licensed deals. I am sad to report that Disney, the new owner of Lucasfilm, has notified us here at Dark Horse of...
My Little Raptors
Artistic Mashups are one of my favourite forms of artistic expression. Taking two seemingly unrelated properties and re-imagining them crossing the streams like a desperate Ghostbuster! Artist, Geek, Cosplayer, Mexican-Irish, Fangirl Brianna Garcia did exactly that when she took the saccharin sweet My Little Pony franchise and re-envisioned them as something more appealing. RAPTORS! You can see more of this talented artist’s...
Giant K’Nex Ball Machine
K’nex builder at The Works Museum in Bloomington Minnesota has constructed a massive “Ball Machine” that so far remains nameless and still expanding. The machine stands 23.5 feet tall and 40 feet long, and contains over 100,000 pieces. It has 2 lifts, 3 motors, and 8 paths, including a 20 foot free-fall, an 8 foot tall big-ball-factory spiral, and a 60 foot long path which hangs from the ceiling. It takes 3 and a...
