Finally, after years of being a mis-proportioned strumpet, Barbie has finally put herself through college (stripping) and earned a Computer Engineering degree . I’m proud of you, Barbie (one more lap dance for old time’s sake?). Not only will Computer Engineer Barbie be attached to her shiny pink laptop and Bluetooth earpiece, but Mattel worked closely with the Society of Women Engineers to ensure that Barbie’s fashions were as geek chic as possible. She sports a binary tee, black skinny pants, retro-styled glasses, and totes a smartphone along with her other essentials. Way to go, Barbie. Say, is that a Tokyoflash watch? You’re hipper than I thought you were! Kidding — look at yourself. You’re wearing a binary shirt with circuit board sleeves. Barbie’s New Career: Computer Engineer! [geeksugar] Thanks to mimi and Bella, who could out-code Barbie with their eyes closed. Seriously, they’re touch-typists.

Though the previous two years have been rather tumultuous for the pop princess (I don't think we even need to get into it!), 2009 was all about getting back on track and looking fabulous while doing it. Even though…

This is a gallery of blackboard signs from a coffee shop in Beatsthehelloutofme, Insertstatehere. Everybody who works there must be some kind of geek because they all feature characters you’re probably familiar with (plus Gary Busey, because he’s f***ing insane). Anybody know where this is? Any chance of of a Geekologie-inspired board? May I suggest the Geekologie Writer’s “PEW PEW!” Double Shot Espresso? Get it? PEW PEW/double shot?! God I slay me. Hit the jump for a ton more including a heaping spoonful of Zelda-themes.

Brad Pitt's back in France and we hear it's going to be a quick trip … So why the international flight, sans family, just for a few days? Reports say Brad and Angie's multi-million dollar chateau Miraval will soon…

Even while I write this the clock is ticking. There are only 13 hours left to order this shirt (or save the image so you can blow it up and print it yourself) before it’s gone forever. And, because I’m slow, by the time this actually gets posted you’ll probably have less than 12. $11 gets the shirt sent anywhere in the continental US via a combination of airplanes and ground transport vehicles . Get one for yourself and a lady-friend and then challenge her to a dino arm wrestling competition! Wow, did I really just hold your hand and walk you to second base? I think I did! (Don’t forget to send a thank you) TeeFury (will be a different shirt tomorrow, so order if you want it) Thanks to two sledgehammers dennis, who BOOM….BOOM!

This is a ballpoint pen portrait of everyone’s favorite half- zombie Christopher Walken by loyal Geekologie Reader and comic book artist Jesse Starr . It was created in approximately 30 hours with no errors using nothing but black Bic ballpoint pens. Good lookin’, Jesse — I sure as hell could never do that. You see, I’m too prone to making mistakes. I’m looking at you, son. Kidding! But call your sisters in here so I can look at them. UPDATE : Portrait is available for sale ($2K) on eBay HERE . Hit the jump for two more shots of the impressiveness.

This is a steampunk arcade machine built from scratch by Dough Haffner, a 9 1/2 fingered carpenter (not unlike Jesus’ father! No, not God. The other one). At least that’s all he’s lost! Because there’s nothing worse than only being able to count to seven on all your fingers . I thought I’d pass on a project I’ve been working on for a couple weeks. I am a Steampunk fan, to be sure…but also a fan of old horror films. I thought it would be fun to take both and combine them for a “MAME” arcade cabinet. You probably know what that is, but put simply it’s an application that allows you to play arcade games (pac-man, donkey kong, etc) on a pc. By building a cabinet, you can get some of the feel and fun of the old days of playing video games at the local arcade. My cabinet combines some of the victorian elements found in steampunk with electrical mad-scientist designs from the man behind Karloff’s Frankenstein lab(Strickfaden). I’m finishing up the Marquee (the machine name plate usually found at the top of a cabinet) and will post pictures of that soon…. Good looking, Doug. I don’t care if you are missing a partial digit, you’re alright in my book. Fun fact: I don’t have a pinky toe on my right foot. Kidding, but it is broken all the time. So it’s practically gone. And that, my friends, is what I blame for walking funny (but truthfully it’s because one leg is longer and I stay drunk all the time). Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the impressiveness.

Popular Science reader Brian De Vitis (truth in Brian) went and stuffed eight different gaming consoles into a life-size model of R2-D2 . Can you name all of them? Because I can. I’m just not going to because I don’t feel like it. SO THERE. Also, I love wire tangles! Hit the jump for a shot of R2’s insides. Also, first one to name all eight systems doesn’t win a prize. These are not the consoles you’re looking for!
