Hosting a get-together with your fellow geeks (and perhaps fellow nerds) in advance of the next Comic Con? Or just wanting to nerd-up your own custom gummies? The Grant Thompson (aka “King of Random”) video below gives a splendid step-by-step demo of how to make Lego gummies – but you can easily adapt this skill with these silicon Star Wars and/or Star Trek themed ice trays. Who wouldn’t want to make a gummy Death Star?!
Perhaps this falls under the category of more nerdy than geeky, but all geeks have a pinch of nerd in them… some more than others. Of course, you can always use these as actual ice trays when you’re not brewing up sci-fi gummy treats!
As a photographer, I’m often out at events where I’m setting up a tripod or monopod that accepts a quick release shoe that is mounted on either the bottom of the camera or on the bottom of a telephoto lens. On occasion, these quick release plates need tightening and when this need arrises, I’m out on location – not in my office. That’s where my Swiss+Tech pocket tool comes in. This thing is simply gorgeous to behold. It’s compact and fits on my keyring. It folds up so that when it’s in my pocket, I’m not getting poked. The finish on the metal is awesome – it’s smoothly polished – not sharp edges. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve pulled this out to use it and people say, “Whoa. That’s awesome! Where did you get that thing?” What’s surprising is that it is so cheap – about $10.
