A couple months ago I posted the transforming chess pieces. Well, the creator (Riley Kolbow/Works By Design) has shown a set to Adam Savage.

The Patrick Stewart audiobook of A Christmas Carol
I still have the audio cassettes, but you can't deny that YouTube is more convenient. I can't speak to the quality of his film version (I think I only saw it once many years ago), but I still like this version.

Well, here's three people you'd never expect to find in the same photo.
Queen Elizabeth, Dick Van Dyke, and Sean Connery!

MSN.com presents their list of the top 10 Star Trek Villains
10. Shinzon 9. Gary Mitchell 8. Weyoun 7. General Chang 6. Kai Winn 5. Lore 4. Q 3. Gul Dukat 2. Khan 1. Borg Queen Oh boy, are there some mistakes here. To be a great Trek villain it takes more than threat level OR personal stakes with hero OR complicated motivations. A great villain needs all of these. Shinzon was a crybaby that somehow got power. Weyoun is brainwashed. The Borg Queen was always a bad idea in general, the result of cowardly producers. I'd put Karidian and Lenore above half of these people. Kevin Finney, Trelane, Daimon Bok for goodness sakes!

I forgot the MSN link, sorry.
Turning a tape measure into a chalk line. I've used a chalk line before, and I respect tools. Seeing this butchering made me shiver, especially when you consider how pointless it is. You can buy a chalk line for under ten dollars!

I'm always down for a new rendition of "Linus and Lucy" if it's done properly...
A high school percussion orchestra featuring xylophones!

Antiques Roadshow presents a bunch of Christmas items.
What blew my mind is that one of the items is Virginia O'Hanlon's original letter to the New York Sun! That should be in a museum!

Someone redesigned the NX-01 to look like it would fit the aesthetics of the TOS era.
(I'm still grumpy at how they just ripped of the Akira class for that eyesore...)

A painting of the classic Trek captains (and the guy from the Orville for some reason...)
I'm trying to decide if that Picard is supposed to be younger than the guy we know, supposed to be a body double, or if this guy just can't paint Patrick Stewart to save his life... (or maybe there was an episode I missed where he took the youth serum instead of Mark Jameson...)

Probably the cleanest rip of Muppet Family Christmas I've ever seen.
And yes, it's the uncut UK version. I'm amazed that Disney hasn't sorted out the music rights yet for an uncut US release. I understand that for the Muppet Show the cost/benefit analysis might not balance, but this isn't the same situation!

An AI video of a guy posing for selfies with each of the Trek casts.
As usual, some of the virtual actors look great and some really don't. This is what annoys me about the use of AI: too many people saying "that's good enough" when it really isn't.

Someone made a runabout out of LEGO knockoff bricks.
Always nice to see the rollbar, they didn't use it nearly often enough.

A roundup of celebrities who've died in 2025
Jane Goodall is a tragedy, of course, I still remember the Far Side strip that made fun of her. The biggest shock for me personally is Frank Gehry. As an architecture enthusiast I've long known of his work, plus my alma mater has a building that he designed.

Stuff Made Here strikes again: a mini golf putter that automatically rotates the head to make the perfect shot every time.
As usual this guy is impressive, but also completely bonkers.
