star trek cakes might not help you live long

trek-cake-1

Neatorama recently posted a bunch of Star Trek cakes, which I assume would be the perfect food for your Star Trek marathons. They’re also unhealthy, but who cares right? All for the sake of awesome. Here’s one of them, a cute and miniature bridge scene on top of an otherwise ordinary base made by reality TV show “Ace of Cakes”:…

klingon cradle for badass babies

star trek klingon baby

I’m not a particularly huge Star Trek fan–not the dressing-up kind, just the appreciating, occasionally-watching kind–but even I have to say that this is probably the most awesome crib in the history of cribs. If Cribs was about cribs instead of cribs, this would have its own show, even though it’s a cradle.

Not enough for you? How about the Klingon…

trouble with tribbles? well these certainly won’t help [star trek]

trouble_with_tribbles

Sure, you may have loved J.J. Abrams updated take on Star Trek, but it just didn’t have enough tribbles for my taste. Thankfully, there’s a solution for the recent tribble shortage.

Now you can be the proud owner of your own roomful of the little purring furrballs.

These interactive replicas of the original TV critters not only look just like…

knit star trek meerkats. yes, meerkats.

knit star trek meerkat

Knit and crochet dolls are cute simply by definition, so you really don’t have to go the extra mile to summon a chorus of “awww.” If you do, however–and Alison Oddy sure did–the effect can be dramatic. But maybe that’s just because we’re talking about meerkats here.

And these aren’t just regular knitted meerkats, but Star Trek meerkats, circa the…

geek corsets: imagining darth vader as a sexy (female) beast

star wars corset costume

Straight from the what files come these geektastic corsets designed to evoke Star Wars and Star Trek character, and I can’t decide if they’d make great Halloween costumes, or if they look like something from an adult film parody of the classics.

One thing is indisputable: the workmanship that went into these costumes and corsets, by EveningArwen, is amazing. The corsets look good…

make your own tiny starship enterprise from spare parts

starship_enterprise_tiny

I just got back from watching the glorious new Star Trek movie, so I must have the Enterprise on the brain. And while this tiny Starship Enterprise isn’t quite as dramatic as the mammoth star vessel from the film, it’s just as cool in my book. Maybe even more so.

Built by a guy going by the name “Wolf” (no, not…

captain kirk’s chair: for the ultimate trekkie decorator

star_trek_captains_chair

With all of the buzz surrounding the release of the new Star Trek movie, here’s a little something to remind you of the kinder, gentler days of the original series (or ST: TOS for those in the know).

This life-size replica is a dead-ringer for Captain Kirk’s original swivel-throne from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. Not only does the chair look…

So with the new Star Trek movie taking critics by storm, it’s only natural that people are flocking to the franchise’s fandom ranks, and that means more and more folks are going to be slapping Star Trek insignia on anything with a semi-flat surface. With that in mind, you’ve got to take a moment to admire the people who find creative-yet-simple…

on ebay: candy conquers the final frontier with limited edition star trek pez set

trek_pez

Trekkies like candies too. This limited edition, 8-piece Star Trek Pez gift set is further proof that Trekkies aren’t so different from you and me and therefore must not be shunned, no matter how obsessed they are with made up languages and men that wear headbands over their eyes.

The set features the USS Enterprise and its crew: Kirk, Spock, McCoy,…

journey to the final final frontier with the star trek casket and star trek urn

startrek-casket

How much of a Trekkie (or -er) are you? How far would you go? Roleplaying? Dressing up in costumes? Being fired into space in a photon torpedo casket?

I’m not a Star Trek fan, but I must admit that the casket’s really decent; the logo is fairly small and the Photon Torpedo-inspired design is sleek. Still, it would be a bit…

klingon keyboard: kliboard? keyngon? gibberish?

Heads up Trekkies: Cherry Keyboards are currently selling Klingon Keyboards. Yes, it has Klingon font as well as some English numbers. It’s perfect for, you know, if you suddenly find yourself in a chatroom with Worf.

If you’re not liking the inscription on the keys, don’t worry. That’s just a mock up; it’s an edited image of Cherry Keyboard’s plain…

rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock: game of the year on a shirt

rpsls rock paper scissors lizard spock

I’ve always wondered how Paper beats Rock. So what if it covers Rock? That’s not the same as being cut or crushed. Cafepress ups the confusion but in the process has created the Game of the Year, nay, the game of the 23rd century.

Paper disproves Spock. Disproves. Why the hell is Paper so powerful? Notice also that Spock can…

star trek communicator: kirk to geek, come in?

Star Trek Communicator

What die-hard Trekkie could possibly walk around without a communicator? Now you can own this nifty remake of the original 23rd-century Starfleet communicator from the 1960s TV classic.

The modern-day replica offers up blinking lights and sounds just like the original Starfleet-issue communications gizmo. It’s even got a cool moving moire effect, making it even more retro-fabulous. I also love…
