A HighTech Way to Reuse a Wedding Dress...
Ok, this has nothing to do with the recent Nerdist acquisition nor Comic-Con 2012, but just bear with me… Who knows, maybe someone might show up at future Cons in their (my? YES!) own version of this sweet feat in fashion/costuming/etc…
That said, fashion designer Frank Sorbier really got it with this high tech take on high fashion… In fact, given the twisted fantasy of the...

Unicorn Poop Cookies
Update: Proof that these cookies are for real! via the always awesome George Takei’s amazing FB feed

Needless to say, Instructables designer, creator & inventor kristylynn84 is pretty awesome. Just in case...

#SXSW & brief hiatus...

Now at SXSW w/ FoundIt!, so stop by our booth #436 in the Trade Show if you are around! Mention LowTechGeek and we’ll hook you up!

The Perfect LowTechGeek Menorah... L'Chaim!
If it were simply an LED menorah (& there are plenty of those out there), it would have been enough… But a recycled motherboard, too?

This one's for you, Nick Hornby.
“A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You’ve got to kick off with a killer, to grab the attention. Then you’ve got to take it up a notch, or cool it off a notch…oh, there are a lot of rules.” ― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
