There is something about playing around with those letters, I guess. This is not the first time that people have done cool stuff with them. Aside from the Star Wars alphabet book, we also shared the alphabet in retro video games. That is really, really cool. [Read more…] about Star Wars Alphabet – No, This Is Not a Repeat
So you’re stuck in the zombie mode. You’re not alone. I can’t say exactly when this fascination for zombies started for me, but I also have to say that it is a mixture of fascination and disgust. I guess that’s the best combination to get you hooked. In spite of my misgivings about reading, watching, or listening to anything zombie-related, I still continue to do so.
If you – and the rest of your family – have an affinity for the undead, then you will want to get your hands on this set of zombie family stickers. They are the perfect decoration for Halloween, which I assume you are getting ready for. These zombie family stickers may not work with your costume, but they certainly will add that oomph factor to your car. Take a look at the stickers in action, and you will see what I mean.

It’s National Chocolate Week, and people have been making delectable chocolate concoctions all week. Have you been doing your part?
If you are – or think you are – an ace in the kitchen, and you also cannot get enough of Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew, then here is something that you ought to add to your (kitchen utensils/tools) arsenal: an oven mitt for Vulcans. Now you may not be a real Vulcan and may only be aspiring to be one, but practically everyone can form the Vulcan salute anyway.
The mitt is heat-safe and is made of neoprene, so you can be sure that your precious hands are kept safe while you do what you do in the kitchen. Bad news for lefties – they only mitts that fit the right hand! Still, I am sure you can manage to use this.
This is the front view.
The back of the mitt.
What do you think? While Spock will definitely not need to use the oven – food synthesizer, hello? – it is still a pretty cool accessory to have around for making cookies with yummy MSG. Grab one – or two – at Menino’s for $29.99. (Yes, I think the price is rather steep, especially since it is already at a $10 discount!)
Here’s one last look at the mitt.

The world woke up to sad news on October 5th when Apple announced the passing of Steve Jobs. He may not have been a man who a lot of people agreed or saw eye to eye with, but almost everyone who knew and worked with him have said that he was truly one of a kind. Jobs was someone who came up and developed stuff that people didn’t know they needed, until Apple made it.

How many hours did you waste spend playing Guitar Hero, or one of its many versions? I know it is one of the video games that caught my attention – and held it – for a very long time. I had several versions of the game on the PlayStation 3 and the Wii, and even though I didn’t have a guitar controller for the latter, I still kept at it. And I am not alone in this, for sure. (I did have the special edition Aerosmith guitar controller for the PS3, though!)
While the games were a lot of fun, there was one big criticism about the game: it didn’t really teach players how to use a guitar in the real world. Sure, you still had keep the beat most of the time. And it was easy enough to pretend that you were a rock star. At the end of the day, however, you still couldn’t play real guitar for sh&t.
