The Confectionery - 16

These are the things that I think are great.

AMERICAN PSYCHO CUPCAKES

Jade Thompson had these made for her boyfriend & now I kind of wish I was her boyfriend.  Everything about these is wonderful.  The business card (is that pale nimbus white?), the videotape, the book, the weapons & HOLY BATEMAN, the "Don't just stare at it, eat it" quote.  Perfection.

Those are very fine cupcakes you're not eating.

 BREAKING WARS/STARS BAD

I love Breaking Bad, & I love Star Wars.  Over at Something Awful, they host a Photoshop Phriday, where their users take on a particular theme.  This week it was Breaking Bad meets Star Wars, & some of these are genius.  

You can view the whole gallery of images here, but beware of Breaking Bad spoilers!

 BAD LIP READING OF TWILIGHT

Think Twilight is bloody awful, but can't get away from it?  A bad lip reading of Twilight makes it much more palatable.  Such a vast improvement on the dialogue - how dare she eat his cake!  Hilarious.

 Kevvvvvvin.

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES TOYS

Toys "R" Us stores now have based-on-an-app sections, featuring toys from Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Annoying Orange, & Where's My Water.  But where are the beloved zombies & plant warriors from the always fun Plants Vs Zombies? Popcap has finally created a line of toys & they. are. adorable.

These guys are available at thinkgeek.com

Available for pre-order now, along with Sunflower, Squash & Jalapeno here.

Way to ignore my brain & head straight for my heart, Disco Zombie!  I want all of them.  They will go lovely with my "Plants vs Zombies"-themed kitchen, don't you think?

 FACE JUGGLER

This is an app you need to have.  Face Juggler immediately identifies & swaps the faces in a picture, with amusing results.  The free version lets you swap 2 faces, & the $1.99 version will let you swap up to 10 faces in 1 photo.  It is entertaining.

Those were my favourite internet sweets of the past week.  Come back next week for more goodies!

The Confectionery - 11

These are the things that I think are great.  So great that I want to sing about them.

MOON WINS GOLD

A Reuters photographer, Luke MacGregor, captured this beautiful image of a full moon rising behind the Olympic rings on London's Tower Bridge.  Perfect.

As many joked on the night this was taken, the moon may now be sued by the IOC.

CURIOSITY ROVER LANDS

Early this morning, the Seven Minutes of Terror took place, & ended successfully.  Amazing.  @NASA tweeted a photo of the Curiosity Rover's shadow in the Gale Crater, which is located ON MARS in case you forgot.

Read more about the landing here.

POOR BATMAN

TACHYON

Whether you're a seasoned musician or a 4 month old, you will enjoy Jordan Rudess' latest app.  The keyboardist for Dream Theater has co-created several apps - MorphWiz & SampleWiz have won several awards - & now Tachyon lets you create music with your fingertips, transforming the screen into a visual representation of the sound. 

It's fun, cool, pretty, & if you're a musical genius like Rudess is, you could use it with another app, DrumJam, like this:

Could be the coolest musical instrument you can buy for $1.99.  Get it here.

LEGO SERENITY

It's about time for a Firefly reference, right?  Here's a 7 foot LEGO model of the ship that's still flying, The Serenity.  Adrian Drake spent almost 2 years building this, beginning with The Serenity's blueprints for accuracy.  Yes, they're available.

Yes, I recited the lines when I saw that last photo.  Why don't you watch this classic Firefly scene so you can do the same?

To see more photos of the LEGO Serenity, go here.  To see photos of the construction (with Adrian's commentary), go here.
