Keep the Dream Alive: Snooze Button Love Celebrated in a Tasteful T-shirt

William — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 21:24:42 +0000

This T-shirt speaks to me. Most days my snooze button gets hit at least twice. Today, however, courtesy of a late night Dexter marathon it was hit repeatedly for a full hour, thanks to a late night Dexter marathon that had me up until 2am with a 6am start.

Battlestar Galactica PC Is The Best Case Mod I’ve Ever Seen

William — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:46:44 +0000

A lot of people decide to make modifications to their PC case, and they turn out alright. Other people decide to go all-out, and you’re left with a creation that can only be described as “pure awesome”. This Battlestar Galactica PC mod falls into the latter category.

This machine has just about everything you could imagine, right down to functioning runway lights. You’ll find 3 2.5-inch LCD screens, and a nice 10-inch LCD screen on the side, just in case you’ve forgotten a full-sized one. Even more impressive is the slot-loading optical drive hidden behind the Battlestar Galactica medallion. I can’t even imagine the sort of time and effort it took to put this together. Kudos to Boddaker, the mastermind behind this incredible project.

Puma Disc Blaze Goonies Sneakers

William — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 21:34:50 +0000

By Andrew Liszewski

A few months ago I wrote about a couple of pairs of limited edition Puma Disc Blaze sneakers that featured a Tetris design, complete with a blinding 90’s neon color scheme. I have no idea how well the shoes sold, but given how rabid some sneaker collectors can be, I have to assume they were quite popular. And that’s probably why Puma is releasing another custom pair of Disc Blaze sneakers that feature a more subtle design inspired by the 1985 film, The Goonies. In reality the shoes can only be considered ’subtle’ when compared to the Tetris kicks, since these also feature a pretty crazy design with skulls and treasure map patterns, and what looks like hemp loops on the tongue and heel. They even appear to come in a Puma/Goonies-themed burlap sack, and like the Tetris versions before them, they’ll only be available in limited numbers when they go on sale in December.
