Cool Japanese Monster Shirt
Tonight’s Big Bang Theory had Sheldon wearing yet another way cool t-shirt. This time it was a cool Godzilla monster silhouette shirt from the folks over at Super7. I will so be getting one of those. But while I call myself a fan I don’t know if I can name all of the monsters pictured…

Klingon Keyboard for the Diehard Klingon Fan
Perhaps if you dress as a Klingon and speak the language at conventions this gadget might be for you. Then again if you are a hunt and peck typist, like myself, you might not want to go there. But if the Klingon dictionary alone is not good enough for you, you’ll want to get yourself…

I Want It Wednesday: A Pen That Writes Anywhere
Remember the Fisher Space pen and how cool it was to be able to write anywhere even upside down? I found another pen that is just as cool, maybe even cooler. (If that’s possible since the Fisher Space pen did do a licensed Star Trek pen back in the day, I have one in my…

I Want It Wednesday: Peace on the Earth
Just like in Star Trek, a great big happy family on planet earth. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanzaa, Joyous Noel, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Saturnalia and so forth and so on. To celebrate the holidays I have once again put up my Trekmas Tree. Here are a…

Forrest J Ackerman Passes Away
The number one fan of all things science fiction passes away. Forrest J Ackerman, the man who started the Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and shared his home for years with fellow fans died last week (Dec 4th 2008). I have very fond memories of a visit to his Ackermansion back in 2000 with my…

Star Trek Collectors
I just got off the phone with a fan (or maybe a stalker, but he did not sound too stalkerish — not that I know what a stalker sounds like). He is a fan of my book and has been using it to get a complete Playmates collection together. I told him about PlayTrek.com and…

I Want It Wednesday: Zombie Plush Toy
This is one of the coolest plush toys since the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail (which is also available at ThinkGeek). These clever geeks over at ThinkGeek made these super cuddly, scarey, creepy little Zombies that you can rip to shreds. But the best part about this product might just be their marketing…

Cool Steampunk Skeleton T-shirt
 This is one of the coolest skeleton tees I have seen in a long time (and I love the glow in the dark ones). This one is just so unique. Want to know what makes a clockwork man tick? You’ll see it with this cool shirt. Available now at your local ThinqueGeek Merchantile. ThinkGeeks ubergeek…

I Want It Wednesday: Life-Sized Cylon
Sticking with previous I Want It Wednesday posts I came across this lifesized Cylcon from the new Battlestar Galactica and thought how cool it would be to add it to a giant robot collection alongside the Robby Robot and the B9 robots (if one could afford them all that it). from the scifi.com item description……

Assimilation Is Not a Family Value
I have had this bumper sticker on my car for more than two years, maybe even three by now and every time my mom sees it she asks me what it means. So I explain about the borg and assimilation etcetera and hope that will be the end of it (we do not speak of…

I Want It Wednesday: Mini Mag Displays
Normally my post of things I want turn out to be cool expensive gadgets I’ll never get, but this week it is actually something I will be placing an order for soon. These magnetic action figure display stands are pretty cool. The stands fit standard action figure peg holes (as long as the figure’s foot…

I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized B9 Robot
Even though this life-sized replica of the Lost In Space robot (also known as the B9 robot) is half the price of the Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet he is still $25,000 more than I have to spend on a giant toy. Although I would love to have him. B9 is not just a…
