Tour Adam Savage’s Cave

by Richard Vincenti JrLeave a Comment

 

Adam Savage shows us around his amazing “hidden workshop of wonder” in San Francisco on Tested.

The workshop is filled with notable film props, costumes, specialized tools, collector items and more. He shows us how he made a relatively inexpensive display case into something fantastic for showing off a few of his many collectible items as well as giving us a peek into how he manages and organizes his many tools, bits, accessories and more.

Spellslingers an Awesome Magic The Gathering Showdown

by Richard Vincenti Jr1 Comment

Magic: The Gathering is my all time favorite trading card game, and I have watched many tournaments and other various shows related to MTG over the years, but Spellslingers is quickly becoming a my top watch.

Spellslingers is a highly entertaining show featuring Sean Plott from Day9TV doing battle with other popular geeks and gamers like, Jessie Cox, Rob Simpson and Felicia Day. The gameplay is fun to watch whether your a veteran player or if your new to the game, you might even pick up a few tecniques and a better understanding of how to play. Although the game itself is the centerpiece of this show, the banter and comedy that ensues as Sean goes head-to-head with fellow geeks is hilarious.

Spellslingers, which shows new episodes on Wednesdays, is part of the YouTube channel Geek and Sundry that features many other highly entertaining shows for geeks including the very popular web series The Guild.

Draw Circuits With a Pen

by Richard Vincenti JrLeave a Comment

Creating basic circuits by hand is the best way to learn about how electronics work and using a breadboard has traditionally been the best way to do this, at least until now. Circuit Scribe is a kickstarter project that features a cool new ball point pen that uses a conductive silver ink which is perfect for drawing simple circuits. Utilizing just a Circuit Scribe pen, piece of paper, and a few electronic components like a LED light or a small motor, you can create just about any small project that you can imagine. This catchy idea has already pulled in $260,000, which is far beyond the set goal of $85,000.

This pen would make a great tool for children to use in the classroom to learn about simple circuits and there’s even a Classroom kit that includes 10 basic kits and a activity book. You can also buy just one basic kit for yourself to see what you can come up with. You can also get two larger kits, the Maker Kit and Developer Kit.

Each kit includes the Circuit Scribe pen which can be purchased separately for $20.

Here’s what’s in the Basic Kit (Cost $30):

  • 2 LED Boards each with two (2) LED lights attached
  • 2 Coin Batteries
  • 9V Battery Connector
  • 2 PIN which you can add Resistors, Capacitors, and Switches to
  • Slide Switch
  • Jumper Stickers
  • BJT NPN Transistor

Maker Kit ( Cost $50):

  • Includes Basic Components
  • Maker Notebook
  • RGB LED
  • Photo Sensor
  • Sound Buzzer
  • Potentiometer
  • 8 PIN ( NAND Logic Gate, 555 Timer, OP AMP)
  • Stencil
  • 9V Battery

Developer Kit ( Cost $100):

  • 2 Basic Component Kits
  • Maker Notebook
  • 2 Sets of Maker Components and Developer Components
  • 10 Magnetic Connection Cords
  • USB Micro B Power Adapter
  • Motor
  • 2 DPDT Switches
  • 10 DIY Solder Boards

Awesome Paper Art by Alia Design

by KarleneLeave a Comment

Alia is an artist who creates amazing things with paper. The art is called quilling. Quilling is a craft that involves cutting paper into strips and shaping the pieces into arcs, curves, and coils. Those shapes are then glued into place by hand to make these beautiful designs.

Both the subject matter and style of my work are a departure from traditional quilling. All of my pieces focus on geek culture, employing unique techniques and design elements I developed myself. Though my personal choice of theme falls into the geek realm, I love collaborating to do custom orders of any subject matter! -Alia

Alia sells her artwork on her Etsy page, check it out to buy one of these or a custom order. AliaDesign
