Scrabble Board Picture Frame

If you are a word-nerd like me, this Scrabble Board Picture Frame is probably lifting your spirits as I type. Kelly Jensen from photojojo submitted this awesome picture frame project to us and I was too busy digging through my garage for an old Scrabble board to post it before now.  Check out photojo for more ideas using different board games and a couple of definitions of those weird “Scrabble words” that the real pros use.

Blind Man’s Metal Rubik’s Cube


This is a really easy, fun project to dress up an old Rubik’s Cube for display, or to really hone your skills as a Rubik’s solver. Gtig posted this Blind Man’s Metal Rubik’s Cube he made with a regular Rubik’s Cube, some epoxy, and a few metal squares he pried off an old chair. There are step-by-step instructions in his post on Instructables.

In addition to looking awesome, it adds a new element to solving Rubik’s Cubes, and Gtig claims that by solving this one blind, it has made it easier for him to solve a normal Rubik’s Cube!

Neil Patrick Harris stole our hearts as the geek-cum-laud child doctor of Doogie Howser, M.D. , but he came back for a doctor show of a different kind with the Doctor Horrible Sing Along blog. Beefranck posted this awesome Dr. Horrible Cross Stitch on craftster (found via whedoncraft). Complete with lyrics from song “Brand New Day” this is one cross stitch sure to grab attention.
