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 .

Introducing Eyemail: Next up, Mom's Eyephone
Now scientists are working on a contact lens that allows you to have your email sent directly to your eyeball. Not even joking. Didn't these guys SEE that Futurama episode? I know how this goes. First you're enjoying an overly internet-connected life, then you're a zombie. Well, at least they're only making zombie rabbits so far. I kinda want one of those. And a chocolate zombie bunny. Those things look tasty.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Foods for the Holidays
Ever sat down to your holiday meal and thought to yourself, "This food could use a little more geeky awesomeness" ? Well, the epic people at Neatorama have collected a bunch of links to sites with recipes for delicious fantasy and sci-fi foods you can serve to your geeklings (or freeloaders) on special occasions, like breakfast and dinner. Every day. Who doesn't want to have Lembas bread to keep them full on their long trips there and back again? Perhaps you'd rather eat butterbeer with your Wookie-ookies?
Whatever your tastes are, they probably have something for you this holiday season. Check it out here.

Spock Attends His Final Convention
Live long and prosper, Nimoy. |
Last weekend, Leonard Nimoy bid his last convention good-bye with a "live long and prosper". At 80 years old, Nimoy has already said he's retired and not going to be in the next Star Trek movie-- which, personally, I am very sad about. Having one of the original cast in the new film made me feel like I wasn't losing the characters/show I loved as a kid (no, I'm not that old. My father just raised me right-- on Star Trek every night before bed well into my tweens. Really.)
Anyway, I hope to see Nimoy walking down the street one of these days. Really, I'm a fan of not only his work in Star Trek, but also his appearances on pretty much anything, from Mission Impossible (because the TV show kicks the movies' ugly, overly-Tom-Cruise-focused butts) to Columbo. Nimoy is one of the finest actors to grace my childhood TV screens, so here's a shout out to him in his retirement-- may he truly live long and prosper.

A Message from 1967: Live Long and Prosper
Today in 1967, Spock uttered the first "Live long and prosper" in the episode Amok Time. Thank you, ThinkGeek, for recognizing this iconic day in geek history.
I think I'll need to watch this episode tonight to celebrate and pet my stuffed tribble. Of course I have one! Don't you? Those things are hilarious.

No words. Just a moment of silence...and the lingering thought...will he/she regret this tattoo 30 years from now when the show is but a distant memory?

NSFW- Let Our Powers Combine!
This I used to watch this epic adventure as a cartoon when I was a kid. I do believe that the guys over at Funny or Die have made it better. I mean really, what would happen if Captain Planet became "over it." More plus a (kinda nsfw, due to cussing) video after the jump.

A Letter to the Aliens!
I find this video 100% awesome! I love how Hank dumb's down the key parts of life. And now, that I think about this, this should be removed from the internet, RIGHT NOW! As soon as we are invaded all they will have to do is watch this video and know how to take us over!

Geek Zodiac (Pic)
This one came up a while back, but I was feeling jealous of all of Volum3Plus's infographics. TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME! Anyway, this thing makes me more confused about my identity than when the real zodiac signs changed dates in 2011. I mean, who wants to be a pirate? Really? What are we, hipsters? All I know is, it really tells you how old you are if you have to zoom in to find your birth year. That's just rude, Geek Zodiac.
