This is one way to arrive to a party. Benoit and Michel Lambert, who are Belgian balloonists, built the Darth Vader balloon in 2007, with the help from Cameron Balloons. They make appearances all over the world. You can watch them as they participate in “The Great Reno Balloon Race“, from September 9 to September 11. To make it authentic, The Lamberts will sport their Stormtroopers gear to help celebrate the occasion.

Freshly picked by the ewoks and roasted by highly trained stormtroopers, a Jedi, or a Sith,  can not start his/her without a nice cup of Darkside Coffee, brought to you by ThinkGeek.com. All that is needed now is a Wookie donut.

Little Sariah Gallego and her family were chosen to participate in The Jedi Academy Stage show in Disneyland. Given the choice between the Dark side, which may or may not have cookies, and the light side of the force, Little Sariah chose wisely and broke ranks to join Darth Vader! She even goes so far as to kneal! The crowd laughs as the actors don’t know what to do. how much do you want to bet they have a plan in place for the next apprentice?

See… it is scenes like this that make raising geekish children that much cooler! Awesome stuff Sariah I sense the force is strong in you!

Jennifer Roberts the owner of Sweet Element boutique cake shop in East Orange, NJ recently delivered what has to be one of the sweetest and most awesome Star Wars Cakes I have ever seen. A Dual Dueling Grooms Cake, Light side and Dark Side. Obi Wan vs Darth Vader… In CAKE. I’ve seen more than a few star wars cakes, although geeks being geeks most of the were birthday cakes, and not so much on the lifemate celebration variety.

Share photos on twitter with TwitpicShare photos on twitter with Twitpic These two cakes, which I can only hope are vanilla and chocolate are unbelievable and they light up! Did the groom cut it with a lightsaber? What did the regular cake look like? Either way this is fantastic!

Now take a step back and realize that Sweet Element is a one woman shop. All that awesome you see? It was All her! Bow down to the Cake master, the force is strong with this one! I already told my wife she was lucky that I didn’t know about these types of cakes before our wedding. hats off Jen, this is some fantastic work!

You can check out more of the production stills from Jen’s Twitpic stream. Soo cool! Or read a bit more about the process on Jen’s Blog

Today’s Show:  Infection, Coffee, Beer, Mice, Star Wars, Star Trek, Earthquakes

I can hear clearly now the cold is gone! The last vestiges of the cold that wouldn’t die are slowly leaving my body, but not without some crazy consequences, and some seriously lost time and momentum in my online world. I feel like i lost two weeks of my life here, still have the broken hand though. On today’s show we hit some of the news that was missed since last week, Zombie Sightings, Google acting up and a fun bunch of links. Coffee Printers?  Beer engines? yup they’re all here in tonight’s fantastic, fanfare worthy  Return to health edition.

I’ve been much more productive both at work and at home this week, and its only Wednesday. I restarted my cultural anthropology blog / web presence index www.paulrjmuller.com If  that type of discussion is your cup of tea check it out. I’m always looking for feedback

A show in honor of Legos. I love the idea behind the lego concept. Make anything out of small simple parts. The mindstorms are a boon for inventors everywhere but it doesn’t end there. These iconic childs toys are loved by people everywhere young and old. I have been inundated with lego stories lately so i decided to dedicate as much of a show as i could to the topic. I was stunned by the response and believe me the stories won’t stop here. There is enough other content on both sides of the coin to keep the show fresh.
