A Portrait of Dice: art and geeks collide

Scott MacDonald, a Zymeworks employee by day and hacker by night, created a portrait using a program which converts any image into a format which can then be recreated into a portrait made up of die. You know, the hexahedra inscribed with symbols that you use to play trivial pursuit.

This, my friends, is geekdom at it's artiest. I mean, if you can use a program and glue one dice to another, this is a way to earn major brownie points with that special someone, whether he/she is geeky or not. Suddenly you'd graduate from "Adult who still has figurines of Darth Vader and Mega Man above their bed" to "Michelangelo di Geek, a sensitive yet unique and sexy being". Do I sound like I want someone to make me arts like this? Because I do. You can transport it to me after you've finished it, then I'll let you on my spaceship for cookies.

Juuuuust kidding. I only let other aliens in here. The armada would have my second head if I cavorted with humans during my scout mission.

Anyway, read more about this work of art and its creator, as well as find out how to do it yourself at Geek.com .

OHHHHHH!

Now you know what I am excited for! Plus Tom Hardy is awesome and so is Joseph Gordon-Levit. This is supposedly "the last one" but we will see. Everyone loves these movies. Dark and gritty Super Hero movies are where it's at, not those fluffy happy ones...

The Steering Wheel Desk: Because you need your cup in front of you to be happy.

Alright, who ISN'T going to try using this while they're driving around? To me, the Steering Wheel Desk with Cupholders just says, "I'm made for motion, like a plane tray." It looks just about as comfortable too, only you could possibly scoot your chair back without some cranky bastard yelling at you. Although the description says it's only for parked cars, my mind has officially wandered to fantastic places where brilliance is only a hair away from stupidity. Maybe.

VGAs are Tonight

Not that I am a fan of awards shows but, come on, it's video games! Now I know what some of you are thinking, "Isn't this basically a 2 hour video game ad that isn't nearly as funny as the Kevin Butler stuff?" Yes, No, it isn't just an ad, there is more, they have, uh, shots of the crowd and uh, Nickleback some lame band like Deadmau5.

Chello Wars

Best Lightsaber duel I have seen in long time. Also the best celloing cello playing I have seen in a long time. This video is all around awesome, from the fight to the "Nooooooooooo," to the end commentary about subscribing. It's just fantastic.

Awesome Bank Robbery Story

This story reminds me of the time I robbed a lemonade stand. It didn't go so well for me... Moran tells us how him and his team rob a bank legally.
