Awwww. Just… awwwwww.  You can tell this kid will grow up to be one of the cutest geeks.  I hope to do something like this to my kids.

Update: Here is a backstory of this costume.

Lego iMac Jr. is crazy cute

I’m not one of those guys who normally goes all mushy over cute stuff but this adorable creation by Bjarne Tveskovs, really hit the spot for me. If I had some spare cash and time I’d definately try something like this. Check out the gallery after the break for more adorableness, and of course jet over to Tveskovs blog for more goodness.

This is the first time I’m seeing this.  An idea so simple, yet super creative.  I don’t think I can do something like this.  Well, I could try, but stick figures might not have the same creative effect. =P

After looking at all of these photos, you’d think there would be an anime version of A-Ha’s “Take on me.”

I would like to take an aside (to celebrate my birthday week) to cover a slightly older series from late 2007 that I really think never got the coverage it deserved.  Potemayo is a very cute series centering around two mysterious creatures that appeared from the depths of Sunao Moriyama’s refrigerator.  Potemayo was the first creature to emerge, and Sunao named her after a potato-mayonnaise bun.  Sunao is your average high school student, and seems strangely nonplussed by her appearance.

At school we get to meet the other cast members, especially Mikan Natsu.  Mikan has a crush on Sunao, but lacks the forward nature to express it.  Potemayo seems to sense her feelings, and being protective of her Sunao, scares her off frequently.  A little later on in the series, Guchuko appears (slicing though the refrigerator door with her scythe, then repairing it with tape).  Guchuko is much shyer than Potemayo, and defends herself suddenly and violently when cornered.

The rivalry between the two little creatures plays out over a number of extremely humorous episodes, and begins culminating when they both begin to ‘blossom’ (flowers start to bloom from their heads).  While mistaking this process as Potemayo dieing, the series has a few short but sad moments.  However, once the blossoms bear their own fruit, both Potemayo and Guchuko have two small children of their own.  This is where the story, sadly, ends.

Weeks later, a few one-off OVAs came along, but no forward progress in the series is made.  I cannot overstate how cute this series is and how it endeared itself.  If you have a moment, check out the videos linked below:

I love how my nephew is growing up to be such an awesome geek.  First, I was able to make him “RickRoll” you guys, now he’s a big fan of Iron Man.  I wonder whats next?

Moo

We’ve all seen Cardboard stand-ups in movie theaters. They come in all different shapes and sizes, but none actually have a type of “personality.” Here’s a collection, from instantfundas, of cute and creative cardboard stand-ups.

This should made you smile a little. =)

I don’t own a DS (seriously), but this game’s box art, without even playing the game itself, has made me seriously reconsider it.

You win this round, Japanese puzzle-game kitty.
