Oh Instructables, you never disappoint…
This week Instructables user ZombieGorilla has posted a tutorial on how to make a massive Lego Skeleton! Because EVERYONE needs one of those in their lives!
There’s not much else to say really… GIANT LEGO SKELETON… beats garden gnomes and fake flamingoes any day…
Do you have an old-school geeky dad in your life? With father’s day right around the corner, Virginie Millefior might have something up his alley. These little aliens are “sawn-off from a sheet of brass, molded and cast into brass to create two identical space invaders cufflinks.”
If you are an aficionado of old video games, but have no need to link cuffs, fear not! Ms. Millefior also has necklaces, rings, and other trinkets that pay homage to our favorite games of the late 70s/early 80s.
With the second season of Game of Thrones wrapping up, I thought it would be appropriate to share these gorgeous Game of Thrones leather journals by TaeliacStudio.
My husband and I watched the first season last year, but got rid of cable earlier this year, so we’re waiting for the second season to come out on DVD. (Please – no spoilers!) Based on the first season, I’d say my favorite house is Stark, followed closely by Targaryen, if only for the strong character of Daenerys. Though of the journals above, I think I like the Lannister one the best – it reads, “Hear Me Roar” on the cover.
And you? Which house has your loyalty? Or which journal would you pick?

The Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ern? Rubik. It has delighted millions of people for probably like a billion years. OK, it has fascinated thousands of people for maybe around 100 years. OK. Fine! Geeks have had one on their bookshelf or desk, and for the most part been unable to solve them, and they have only been around since 1974.
Now you can show your geek pride, and stop correcting me so much, with this awesome Rubik’s Cube Tissue Box Cover by HeSewMadeThat on Etsy.
Now you can not only be hooked on Sherlock but you can hook him as well! Justine Meunier, 
or Retsnimel as she is known on Ravelry, has created a free pattern for an amigurumi BBC Sherlock Holmes. From his curly hair to his coat, you can see the character as his mind works through the details of his latest case. Quite accurate, right down to his blue scarf and purple shirt.
Of course, Sherlock must have his companion and Justine has provided a free pattern for Doctor John Watson as well.
While perusing the Net this morning, I came across this fantastic etsy shop. 1luckysoul has an wonderful collection of necklaces that can tempt the many obsessions of geeks and fandom!
Look at this piece called Snape’s Memoir. I think it’s my favorite. There are horcruxes, sorting hats, the Deathly Hallows trio, stacks of Hogwarts books, and then, there’s the Hunger Games collection. I’d have a hard time making a decision as to which ones to buy because I wouldn’t be able to stop at just one!
