ExtermiCHECKMATE
Yeesh…cheesy title for the post this week, right? Sorry about that. I’ve had a looong weekend at the Small Press Expo in suburban Washington DC. But on the other end of that cheesy title folks is a double whammy: a chess set (gasp!) with a Doctor Who theme (wheee!) I found this via the deviantart page of Eladin Skywalker, a sculptor who made all 32 pieces from scratch out of polymer clay. The piece breakdown is as follows:
Evil side:
King: The Master
Queen: Lady Cassandra
Bishops: Cybermen
Knights: Judoon & Sontaran
Rooks: Weeping Angels
Pawns: Daleks
Good side:
King: The Doctor (Ten)
Queen: Professor River Song
Bishops: Ood
Knights: Captain Jack Harkness & The Face of Boe
Rooks: Tardises
Pawns: Baby Adipose

May the bars be in your favor!
Check out this cell phone decorated with adorable chibi Katniss, Gale and Peeta! Everyone seems to be a bit obsessed with bars lately. Can you use your cell phone here…or here…no, maybe just outside of this door and to the left. We go through some weird antics just to be able to send a quick text, tweet or make that important phone call. At least while we wander around like a person possessed trying to find that elusive bar, we can look good.
Can you hear me now? Do I care? My cell phone looks AWESOME!

Little cuties of Marvel and DC
LolleBijoux is an artist who makes ADORABLE key-chain figures. I’d like to bring to your attention these little- girl versions of some of the women of DC and Marvel. Too cute! Way to put a fun spin on how we see these characters. I’m pretty smitten with Harley Quinn myself. The sassy pose and the partially open smile?
This is why we squee, people. This is why we squee.

Just a little Link
Who isn’t addicted to the Legend of Zelda? It has worked its way into the ranks of Best Video Game Ever list. Link has slashed his way through countless enemies and into the hearts of many of us. While doing a bit of geeky research earlier today, I found an etsy shop that is sure to please any Zelda lover.
Grandma Thunderpants! has an amazing collection of poly clay creations including this Link necklace. Give her etsy shop a look for some incredible creations!

GERMINATE! GERMINATE! GERMINATE!
Even those Geeks among us who have a green thumb want to have the coolest gardens possible! Jackielantern shared her latest geek inspired garden gadget over on Craftster.
A Dalek planter!
Jackielantern also gives a brief description of her thought process in creating the planter.
I now must have a matched set…or two..maybe three…
