Nerdelicious: Ten Geeky Gingerbread Creations
'Tis the season to break out your inner craft geek. Here a few seasonal concoctions to inspire your own creations. Me, I just eat Turtles. Above, Zero Lives blogger Das Chupa brings us an Angry Birds themed Gingerbread house. I would play that.
A Gingerbread AT-AT. As the card says, that's awesome. As far as I can tell it was made by (or at least photographed by) Chez 282. I first saw it on pacalin's site.
A Gingerbreadhenge, for all you pagans out there, by The Dude (no, not that one.) Found on Clonehenge, which has "the most complete list of Stonehenge replicas on the internet, nay, marry, in the wide world!" I love the internet.
A gingerbread collection on Popped Culture wouldn't be complete without some sort of Super Mario reference. (Super Mario Gingerbread by Mike Bade, via Nerd Bastards)
The Star Trek GingerBorg Enterprise is a gingerbread replica of the Enterprise D. Green splotches indicate that Borgs have taken over and are destroying things with lasers. (By audreyh4 at instructables)
Anna-Maria Oléhn's TARDIS gingerbread house can fit a surprising amount of Christmas treats inside.
And what's a Dr. Who TARDIS without Daleks? They are vegan too, so you know they're truly evil. By Johnson Cameraface.
The gingerboard (gingerbread motherboard) was created in Sweden by Benny, Monica, Anna-Maria and Erik. (Via mediatinker and You Bent My Wookie, who has a great gallery of gingerbread creations)

Star Wars Snowflakes
For all your geek Christmas needs, Star Wars snowflakes! Above an R2-D2 and C-3PO paper snowflake from the fine folks at The Nerdery. No instructions on making one though, so you're on your own. The two below both have instructions, but are still well beyond my rudimentary scissor skills. Enjoy.

Werner Herzog Reads 'Twas The Night Before Christmas
There he is, our first vision of the famous spirit of Christmas, who judges, God-like, from afar all-year long and arrives on this night only to mete out reward and punishment.

Outside of this blog, this is a remarkable representation of my pop culture life. And Alec Baldwin was the best Thomas the Tank Engine narrator. (Fisher by Philip Street, a strip that runs in the Globe and Mail and should really be picked up by a syndicator.)

Serenity Sake
"Clothes looking a mite tired after too many hours in the saddle? Shirts showing a bit of age - not to mention blood, sweat and engine grease?
You'll look all kinds of silly stomping into a fancy soiree wearing clothes that a Reaver chewed on, so you may want to consider spiffing things up a bit with Ian Leino's newest design: Serenity Sake."
Or perhaps someone will make this sake to help all the Browncoats drown their constant sorrow over the cancellation of Firefly. Get it today at TeeFury for cheap or at Ian's store after that. Use the coupon code THISLAND for 15% off.
