Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.
Still, their are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively. Cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.
Ok, ok… I’m slow with this one and could have posted it before everyone had already seen it but hey… boy’s gotta do what they have to do or?
Or something like that or watch the newest Big Bang Theory episode. Gosh, I am more and more starting to like Penny. Perfect typecasting.
Anyway. So yeah. Ric Turner just did it. No he wasn’t being a Tiger! In the Northern American craze and hype of over-decorating your houe for the festive period, he gave it a spin. Holiday lightning around the house? Sure, why not he thought, but at least be original.
What did he come up with?
The Guitar Hero House.
And the thing is fully functional. I want to see a video of the whole street playing Rock Band!
I hate to admit having discussed a similar concept with gamers years ago but am proud to tell you that none of them actually build a computer chair like this one. But things couldn’t last and someone had to do it at some point. This point apparently. Meet our Nerd of The Week [NotW].
☆ I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests' time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.
☆ The Sun thinks differently. Did I just link to The Sun?Screw that. Everybody move on now! Nothing to see here.
☆ Not everyone enjoys Christmas but of course that doesn't mean you have to go totally Dickensian about it. Instead, play some Whack-a-mole. On your iPhone. Read a review at AppleGazette.
☆ 1000 Celebrities and pop culture icons in 8-bit art. On your iPhone. At $2.99 a cool deal for 8-bit nerds, otherwise wasted money. 'Get it!', we say.
☆ If you are not a victim of geotardation, ie. if you live in the US of A, you can watch the complete Caprica pilot on SyFy (who's the moron who came up with that spelling?
☆ Interesting discovery and video: an octopus uses a coconut shell to hide under but also takes the shell with him when walking over the mud of the ocean. Coconuts as tools. Most interesting of all, this was not discovered or filmed by the BBC Life team.
☆ Go on, admit it! You also want one of these: 700mW green laser pointer. Abuse the occasion as they are 20% off and only $2.499 anymore! I wished I were rich.
