This book cover idea is so simple, yet so awesome, I’m slightly upset I didn’t think of it first! Way to go Icoeye for beating me to it… now I wish I had more books of the same size to properly pull this effect off! (Think of the design potential… Space Invaders, Mario, anything 8bit = crazy pixel fun!)
There is also a PDF link included to make your own bookshelf designs (yay!)

Cross-stitched by Flickr user Cerys Davies aka chickenstitch, this quote from The IT Crowd is funny on it’s own, but even funnier for those of us geeks who have to help our friends and family with their computer problems. This would go nicely with “No, I will not fix your computer.”
It’s a big weekend for nerds with the movie Tron: Legacy opening in many countries around the world. Bombastitch sells lots of geeky cross stitch pieces and patterns in her Etsy shop including this most excellent Tron inspired pattern. The quote from the Master Control Program to Dillinger is sold as a PDF pattern and looks pretty easy to complete. Well, there’s a 68.71 percent chance that I’m right about that.
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?…
Yasemin has painted her computer keyboard and converted it into a rainbow QWERTY keyboard. This would be great to use for a kid’s computer!
Being married to a hardcore computer nerd, this really rings true in our house. Flickr user vonkrankipantzen cross-stitched this sampler for her brother’s birthday. The detail of the border is amazing.
