Today I want to show you this amazing Tetris Side Table made by Annahowardshaw from Instructables.
The whole table is made from scratch and we are given the complete tutorial so you can create your own piece of retro geek furniture. The Tetris pieces are made from wooden cubes stuck together, sanded and painted. They are then glued on to the table after arranging them carefully.
It hurts me a little inside (or should I say, I get a little smaller, and lose my rings!) to see these two guys side by side. I love them both so much but it just reminds me that there won’t be any new SEGA consoles anytime soon… and that reminds me of the Dreamcast (swoon) … and that reminds me of Shenmue… I digress…
Instructables member SheWhoMustNotBeNamed has the perfect solution to my discontinued-game-console woes, with a fantastic Mario and Sonic quilt tutorial.
I could wrap myself up in it while I play my old Master System games…. doesn’t look the same on a 32″ TV *sniff*……………
Who doesn’t want their own personal robot? Well check out this cute little guy, Wendell.
I love that he comes as a blank slate, so you can decorate him any way you want. He’s also open source, so you can program him to do your bidding.
And check him out dressed as Michael Jackson doing the thriller dance.
What say “Christmas” better than robots? Nothing, That’s what.
Check out fjordcarver’s awesome Instructable, and learn how to make your own robotic talking Christmas tree.
I love his little eyes. He looks like Cookie Monster… if Cookie Monster was a Christmas Tree.
Greetings fellow geek crafters. I am one of you newest bloggers to join the team. My name is Meghan and I am a geek, borderline nerd, with 4 kids, and I can’t stop crafting. I make ridiculous things all the time, especially while watching cartoons. Here is a sample of one my my most ambitious geek crafts, The Periodic Table of Elements in cross stitch. It took me a long time, like all the episodes of Firefly, Futurama (twice) and Home Movies to complete. I designed the pattern using KXStitch, which is an awesome Linux program you must check out.
I’m super excited to scour the blog-o-sphere, in search of the greatest and geekiest crafts I can find, plus a few of my own, and to share them with you.
You can check out some of the other geeky things I’ve done on Instructables as Domestic_engineer.
Instructables are running a halloween competition, time’s almost up to submit entries, but you should completely go there and look at the awesome work that’s already been submitted.
I love Caraslifka’s children’s Edward Scissorhands costume and tutorial… but hats off to her son for really bringing the costume to life.
