Mike Wazowski Pumpkin Carving

I love carving Pumpkins, and this is the time of year I get to show off my favorite designs. Now Pumpkins don’t always end up what they were intended to be. I started this pumpkin as a Cyclops, but as i started to do the eye ym Son yelled MIKE WAZOWSKI! and I had to [...]

Marry With Portals

My wife is not a true geek,she is a wonderful woman but not a real geek. She is… geek-ish. She knows how to code, works with databases and tolerates my endless nerdy jokes. But in all reality she is quite a normal sane lady with no interest in star wars, tolkien or anything else. For [...]

Life Size Mousetrap

Learn about kinetics, the art of making things go. This traveling road show is looking for the funding to bring a larger than life scale model of the game Mousetrap to a town near you.

Intelligent Tabletop Grill

    As geeky and interesting as this idea is, The Intelligent Tabletop Grill, is all about taking the fun and skill out of grilling. I’m sorry but if you don’t loose some hair on your arms from a good grease fire then you just aren’t doing it right. Settings? LCD? All these things have no place [...]

Coffee Clothing!

I am an absolute sucker for T shirts. I love buying them. I love wearing them. They help me not be naked. Which I have found in polite society, is probably a good thing. I was contacted by the fine folks from Coy Clothes about their coffee related T shirts. Well this was a win [...]

Circuit Shelf

Although just a design concept these shelves are just awesome enough to get me thinking about how i should properly decorate the CaffiNation Lair. The idea looks simple enough to implement. I can’t help but think these shelves, depending on their price would be a huge hit in many a geek lair. The Obvious end to this [...]

These blocks look mighty quite unless there is a hidden compartment for batteries I’m missing, and they also fulfill the hidden third category of an educational plus. The only real question i would have is about durability. can the water compartments take [...]
