A post about DIY Terminator sunglasses that doesn't use a single Arnie catchphrase
Are you an emotionless killing machine sent from the future to kill the mother of the leader of resistance against the machines? If so, this probably won’t interest you. If you’re not an emotionless killing machine but wish you were though, Vince Veneziani over at Gearfuse has got you covered – he’s put together a tutorial on how to make yourself some sunglasses like those worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first Terminator film…
FANTASY GADGETS MADE REAL: Scientists prepare cloaking devices for consumers
A fully cloaked shirt? A fully cloaked pair of trousers? A fully cloaked balaclava and glove set so even your head and hands remain invisible?
That’s the dream hunting (I MEAN STALKING) scenario about to be made real, thanks to two teams at the University of California that are both getting close to making invisible fabrics. Team A has developed a material that uses a “fishnet of metal layers” to reverse light, while Team B’s uses minuscule wires to carry light around…
Slave Leia looked on proudly as Admiral Ackbar walked down the aisle
It’s a Star Wars wedding. Not just a a cake grandma made that, from the right angle, looks a bit like a 2D Death Star, but a proper, CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY DID THAT? Star Wars wedding. Everyone put in some effort.
Here’s a small celebratory montage we’ve put together of the finest photos. The highlight is the ginger man who grew his beard out to be Chewbacca, plus the grey-haired man who used his natural assets to do a superb Ben Kenobi. The X-Wings let the side down a bit, mind. What’s with the socks?
The entire set is, incredibly, viewable by the general public over on Flickr. We wanted to poke fun, but… it’s sensational…
Banish stinky suits with the Farago Aircool suit: only in Japan?
For the man with overactive sweat glands comes the Farago Aircool suit, designed to neutralise the nasty niffs associated with stale sweat before they develop and ensure that you’re the only person in every meeting you attend.

P8tch – your wearable URL
The P8tch is the ultimate in geek utility-wear. Not only does it look completely safe and all psuedo-military like but it’s useful too because it also happens to be a mobile phone scannable URL that’ll take the reader to any web page you desire.
So, for example, it could be the RSS feed for your blog, your Flickr page…
Transformer shoe extravaganza: robots in disguise – and on your feet
Rather like a Kinder Egg but a shoe, a robot and a surprise (no chocolate), are these most wonderfully ridiculous Transformer trainers. Quite when the design guy thought “You know what, I wish I could turn my shoes into robots,” is utterly beyond me but my nostalgia hormones refuse to let me say that having a life form from Cybertron protecting your feet is a bad idea…
The real McFly – genuine Back to the Future 2 Nike Mag on eBay
Has anyone got $5,000 I can borrow? I’ll pay you back, I promise, but it might take while – not because it’ll be hard getting the money but because I’ll be playing with my genuine Back to the Future II 2015 McFly Nike boot that’s just appeared on eBay!
I’m quivering. I’m actually quivering as I write this. I’m a-quiver. Seeing that Nike had released some completely useless replica of the McFly 2015 last week, known as the Nike Hyperdunk, the prop meister general, who designed the original for the Zemeckis trilogy, dug up the old prototype and put it up for auction…
Digitally scanned replicas of Star Wars helmets
As far as Star Wars merchandising goes, this evil is worthy of the darkest Sith Lord. For what true fan can resist a digitally scanned replica of original movie helmets? And even if they could turn down the $400 Storm Trooper helmet, could they say, “No” to the Darth Vader design? I think not!
Nike McFly Hyperdunks: Back to the Future II footgear? Not quite.
Sorry to disappoint all your back to the future fans, but the Nike Hyperdunks are more “inspired” than “copied” from the pair Marty wore in Back to the Future.
