Why can’t products just tell you what they are? Do we really need non-descriptive names like Wii, Kindle, Nook, and Droid to describe our gadgets? Really? Product naming doesn’t get much more concise and descriptive than this here thing, the USB Big Panda Speaker.

Looks like Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man finally got hitched. At least that’s what I first gleaned when I stumbled onto this geektastic Pac-Man wedding cake.

Actually, this wasn’t the main wedding cake, but actually a groom’s cake that blogger The Domestic Scientist recently made for a friend’s wedding. And while the cake is fully edible…

It’s been a little while since we featured any Space Invaders around here. So here goes nothing…  Space… Invaders… Mailbox…

This special delivery comes to us courtesy of Nimcraft. While Nim thinks the mailbox invaders are “un-perfectly painted”, I don’t care. It’s way cooler than any of the mailboxes in my neighborhood.

Here’s a fun way to keep your laptop safe and sound. This laptop sleeve looks just like one of those intra-departmental envelopes that you see floating around your office.

Of all of the universal remotes out there, this LEGO-brick-inspired concept design is my new favorite.

I was surfing around over on Flickr this morning and stumbled onto this awesome Space Invaders shower curtain.

I spotted this great Halo-inspired Xbox 360 casemod over on deviantART this morning. Modder EvilDan created this scene of Master Chief and an energy sword-wielding Covenant Elite on the top (or side – depending on how you look at it) of a modded 360 for a friend. Lucky friend.

Perfect for your demonic teenage kids – the t-shirt of the day: “Rated V: Violent Before I Played Video Games” courtesy of the fine folks over at ThinkGeek.com. I’ll wear this on the odd days that I’m not wearing my NRA “when they pry them from my cold dead hands” t-shirt.
