Eric at Geekadelphia posted this Blade Runner origami unicorn with a link to a short how-to on recreating Gaff’s final calling card in the Blade Runner Movie. So if you think your buddy may be an android, or if you just like the movie, this is a quick crafty project that only requires a peice of foil paper and a little time!
Kimberly Chapman of kimberlychapman.com made this great knitted DNA model she calls “Baby’s first DNA Model”. There’s no better way to make sure your child (or someone else’s) is introduced to geekdom early. You never know, your baby might like this DNA model so much, that they go on to become award winning scientists (or geeks)!
Katy Marcus at Cut Out + Keep posted this great Marvin the Paranoid Android knitting project. He’s depressed, paranoid and completely adorable, perfect handmade gift for the Hitchhiker’s Guide fan in your life, or to knit for yourself and snuggle. You know, to cheer him up.
Patti Schiendelman at Make: Magazine posted this awesome Rubik’s Cube project sent in by a user named “Mad Maxine” (I like her already). If you’re going to take this challenge on, you had better be an expert level Rubik’s solver (or at least be ready to become one). This would make an awesome project to hot-glue all together and hang on your wall.
Cory Doctorow posted this ridiculously awesome Boba Fett Pez dispenser on boingboing. Flickr user Switthoft made it “using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalized parts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King.”
