All of Ricky’s pieces are one-off or limited edition jewelry, neatly fitting into the steampunk genre, complete…

I have to agree that many people have no idea when to use their gadgets. I’m all for reading in the bathroom, but would you take  your iPad with you?

Darth vader Meets Space Invaders. Need I say more?

RoboRock’s Space Invaders x Star Wars… mashup t-shirt is geeky perfection. But if you want one, you’d better be quick. It’s available for one day only over at Riptapparel (5/4/2010) for just $10 bucks.

Actually, probably not. Robots are still clunkers in my book. However, it looks like the RoboCup Japan Open 2010 is currently happening in Osaka, Japan. It’s the world’s biggest robot soccer tournament (!) and has 225 teams from all over the world competing for the ultimate title in robot soccerdom!…

It’s funny how comic book characters rarely age. I’ve never been an ultimate Iron Man fan – Spider-Man always did it for me. It looks like Marvel is reprinting Tales of Suspense #39 from 1963 to celebrate the release of Iron Man 2… and the new Diesel fragrance, Only the
