Cake & Aging: Resistance is Futile
I’ve had Trek on the brain lately, so I went searching for images of “Borg Cube” (of course!). And when I did, this little lovely showed up – a Borg Cube Cake.
I wonder…when you slice it, does it ‘bleed’ motor oil? Or does it automatically deflect the knife with shields?
I love that this project looks do-able – I’m betting I could figure out how to piece together a square cake (4 8×8 layers, perhaps?), and draw a bunch of icing lines. Sure, and that’s the kind of thinking that will end me up on CraftFail. So I’ll just settle for sharing the picture of the successful project here, and make no promises for real life attempts on my part.

Spoilers, Sweetie
This is definitely a spoiler. . . For you! Thanks to Sara Montagnani, you can purchase this beautiful handmade charm of River Song’s Journal from her shop, Silly Love Crafts on Etsy.
This lovely reproduction of the journal is handcrafted from recycled materials. Sara even used coffee to tint the pages of the journal. The richness of the charm comes in the excellent details of the original diary. The journal comes with it’s own silver chain as well.

Well, hello beautiful.
What can I say? Heath Ledger won my heart very early on in his acting career in the U.S. From “A Knight’s Tale” through to “The Dark Knight”, his name pulled me to the theaters time and again.
I found this afghan on Craftster and my heart just melted. Not only is it is very well done and a labor of love, but it’s a great tribute to his life, his work, and his impact on our movie industry.
Pesky Pixie! Thank you for creating this beautiful afghan!

Do the Weave – Space Invaders Style
Mini-eco‘s Kate Lilley (the same gal behind the adorable 8-bit popup cards) has perfected a method of weaving paper into Space Invaders. Which is a bit like spinning straw into gold, except geekier and less lucrative. Still, what a cute decoration for a gift! Who cares what’s inside the box if this is the wrapping?!

Tutorial Tuesday: ‘Real Life’ Portal Loop
Ok, so I cheated a bit, it’s not really a tutorial, but Technabob reader Florian Aich has certainly made himself one awesome conversation piece. I’m putting it up as a Tutorial Tuesday, because all you need is is colored LEDs plus Portal-shaped mirrors and you’re sorted. A geeky art installation to be proud of. Just don’t try and chuck a ball through to test it, your mom/husband/wife/children will be mad.
