TARDIS MAME Console
The phrase “It all started with Linux” and a picture of Charles Bronson occur with in the first few paragraphs of Simon Jansen’s thorough, rambling, and completely freaking awesome how-to post about his TARDIS MAME Console. It’s one thing to build your own TARDIS, it’s a wholly different thing to build your own TARDIS, then construct a custom made MAME console to fit inside (the picture on the left is the TARDIS, closed. On the right, we see it open, with the console on). This might be the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted, a real trifecta of geekgasm worthy art.
Computer Fun Cuff
Etsy seller bishopart has this amazing Girl Scout badge + rick-rack Computer Fun cuff for sale in her shop – awesome!
Best of all, Bishop says:
I will include a copy of the original Girl Scout Badges and Signs checklist so that you can see if you’ve actually earned your badge, or you can earn it again or for the first time.
This badge is for Computer Fun. One of the activities to earn this badge was: “Think up a computer or computerized robot you would like to have. What would it look like? What would you name it? What would you program it to do? Describe your computer to someone in words or pictures?” Hmmmm, do you think Steve Jobs was a Girl Scout?…
QWERTY Wallet
I love this screen-printed QWERTY keyboard wallet from Etsy seller QuietDoing – click through for some more fun designs (notebook paper!)
Caffeine Structure Messenger Bag
I don’t know what life would be like without coffee–and I don’t want to. The best thing about CraftieRobot’s Caffeine Structure Messenger Bag is that it provides a way to carry your laptop and current reading selections, advertise your geekiness and show your worship of the caffiene gods all in one easy to use bag. Love it! Find it at CraftieRobot’s etsy shop.
Operating System Soaps
Etsy seller pinktoque just introduced a line of soaps she calls GEEKSOAP. She’s got all sorts of fun designs – Facebook and Twitter, Batman and these operating system logos. She’s also got some cool Cthulhu stuff.
Pirate USB Drive
Arrrrrrrrr, matey! Kristan Hemingway submitted this seafaring Pirate USB Drive that you can find in her etsy shop, hemingwayfun. She made him (along with other fun designs, including a penguin!) out of a hard vinyl with help from her father-in-law.
