Awesome surprise for Freshman moving into MIT as hackers placed a TARDIS on top of a building in Kendall Square.  These students really are geniuses!  ”Hackers” at MIT have been up to these pranks for quite some time now and in my opinion haven’t topped the work done in 1999.

I took this l’il guy’s pic at a LEGO store using Hipstamatic for iPhone, and subsequently was driven to throw it into the pile of one of the Internet’s most classic memes.

Btw, if you’re in Philly this weekend come see me perform nerd-themed jokes at Helium Comedy.

Well fellow nerds, thanks to the addition of folders the iPhone is now even BIGGER on the inside. So about a month ago, I was in search of a new background, and thought, “Hmm, What would a Timelord do with an iPhone?” and the answer is probably “Nothing, I have a sonic screwdriver.”

Well to achieve this awesomeness, all I did was Google” TARDIS exterior” and “TARDIS interior” save the images I wanted, Set the Lock and Home screen and voila… I was awash with nerdy excitement when I first slid to unlock and entered the much larger interior of my TARDIS. I still get a kick out of it.

I invite all of my fellow nerds to join me in making your iPhones truly bigger on the inside.

PS I know that the exterior is the 10th Doctor and the interior is the 11th Doctor, If someone can make a nice pic of the 11th Doctor’s exterior, I’ll change it.

P.P.S. I ended up changing it to Tennant’s interior before the posting… Now they match!

As long as you’ve seen this video, you know I love text-to-speech applications. If it was illegal to make your computer say a dirty word you typed, then we’d all be let out of prison due to capacity limitations.  There is a unique joy in hearing the words “poopy smudge” computer generated. It brings out the kid in you. Don’t believe me? Try this. Highlight the following sentences and get speaking: “Hey, you pile of boners. Listen to me already. When I close my eyes all I hear are the screams of thousands of children as their blood is drained into the in-ground pools of the rich.” Xtranormal.com has taken this idea a few steps further. Continue on for an explanation and demonstration.

You may be a bit familiar with xtranormal. Their site was used to make the now infamous iPhone vs HTC Evo video. The concept around xtranormal is simple yet ingenious: text-to-movie. Once you’ve created an account you can choose from a variety of themes (called showpaks), locations, characters, and voices. Simply type something, and the character will animate and say it. Surprisingly, it sounds much more real than you’d think, but still hilariously bad. You even get to drag and drop little icons into your script to create motion, sound effects, and camera movement for that added touch. There are plenty of free options to choose from, but if you want a wider variety of selections, just pay by way of an xbox-live-esque points system.

The best part is you can create a series and even upload it to youtube. So I’ve created a little series called, “Terry.” It follows Terry through his days as an office worker that no one really cares about. I’ve embedded the first episode, “Office Party,” above. To see the next (and better) episodes go to my youtube account. I plan on doing one every couple of days now, so subscribe to keep updated.

After you’re done paying attention to me, go to xtranormal and try this for yourself! Then share them with everyone here! Easy. Fun. Hilarious!

Follow me on twitter for jokes about stuff and whatever.

Throw in LEGO Pirates and you have an epic battle.

This is a departure from my usual book reviewing/new releases post, obviously, but it’s a good’un! Good’in? Good one. There, that’s better.

Anyway! A patron of our illustrious site brought this to my attention (thanks Rhiannon!) and I just had to share it with you all:

1000 Books, 1000 Miles!

It’s an uplifting tale, I promise! A school library floods in Missouri, a teacher calls for help and another answers… from New Jersey. The end result is one thousand books travelling one thousand miles from New Jersey to Missouri, powered ENTIRELY by volunteers.

HOW’S THAT FOR NERD LOVE?!

I suggest you start with this post and then this one and then keep on readin’! It’s enough to make any book nerd feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

He’s bigger on the inside.

My dad owned and operated a small bookstore in Brooklyn for the last 30 years.  One of my first and bestest memories of going into his store was playing with the cash register.  It looked very similar to the cash register in the photo above and I was blown away by it.  The green digital readout. The adding up of the numbers with those big clicky plastic keys. The printout of the receipt.  The noises it made and the fulfilling sound of the cash draw opening to take someones money.  This machine had me in awe and it was my first love of a gadget that I can remember.  It started a life-long bond with me and electronic/mechanical gadgetry.

What was your first gadget or piece of tech that you fell in love with?

Remember the days before the Internet? Days when bathroom stalls provided that mask of secrecy needed to insult each other in a public forum. Thankfully bathroom stalls didn’t go to the wayside after the ’90′s for multiple reasons. This might be my favorite insult and favorite mathematical proof of all time. See ya later “poopdick” and the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. We’ve had some good times.
