I am a big fan of Transformers – going all the way back to my childhood spent transforming/breaking random Hasbro toys when they were too complex for a child to operate. The films are a bit “meh” if you ask me, but I have seen them all anyway.

Last week we saw a Craftsman-sponsored mod that converted one of the company’s tool chests into a boombox. But if you need something bigger and louder, wait until Craftsman releases the Contour Powered Series Tool Storage.Not

Who could forget the Miranda-class cruisers that first showed up in one of the best original Trek movies, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The most famous is the Reliant, stolen, captained by Khan Noonien Singh, and eventually trashed by the Enterprise’s phasers and Genesis.

There are a lot of funky iPhone cases out there, but I rather like the simplicity of this one. It’s basically just a pouch that doubles as a cover and a stand for your iPhone when rolled back.

Geeks and geekettes, get ready for what could be the perfect combination of Star Wars, Skyrim and Internet meme, all wrapped up into a tidy bow. Or rather, a tidy grey t-shirt.

The older some people get, the more self-conscious they become. For example, the other day, I bumped into my aunt at the mall. Before I knew it, the conversation had somehow steered on to how her skin was starting to sag and how wrinkly her chin was – both of which were topics that I was not even remotely interested in.

Want to have a pet but none of the responsibilities that go along with it? I just use my imagination, but if you want something more concrete you can get an electronic goldfish in a bowl.

I’m a fan of well-designed cases for iPhones, and this one seems to have been well-thought out. The most distinguishing aspect of this case is that it comes with a sort of lock which latches the case shut, protecting it even further.

Babies are a huge responsibility. Every parent knows that, whether they still have one on the way or already have several kids in tow.

DJs need sturdy and comfortable headphones, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t have them too. Numark has just released information about their latest pro DJ headphones, the Electrowave, and they look pretty good.

Star Wars fans looking to redecorate might want to drop what you’re doing right now, and snag yourself a new area rug for your room. This is not just any carpet, mind you – it’s R2-D2 in rug form!

I sure miss Mystery Science Theater 3000. My fondest memories of the show are way back in the Joel Hodgson era, but these days, just seeing a picture of Crow, Tom Servo or Gypsy makes me giddy.

There are lots of ways to put out a fire, but most of them require some way to actually spray or douse the flames with the suppressant. This can cause problems in small or obstructed spaces.

If you have built large creations with LEGO before, you know that keeping your bricks sorted is essential to keeping things in order. Otherwise it will drive you crazy looking for one specific part in a large bin.

If you find yourself using an iPad as your main computer, you might want to check out Brookstone’s iConvert Scanner. Just dock the tablet on the scanner, feed it a document and it’ll automatically be saved to the iPad’s photo library, ready to be emailed, tweeted or used as a wallpaper.

MGS fans will want to check out the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Premium Package, exclusively available for the Japanese market. In this set you get a special 3DS system, a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, and a pair of double-sided MGS art pieces.
