All Geeks

While the DMC company is long gone, the DeLorean Motor Company of Texas has plans of bringing a brand new silver gull-winged DeLorean to market by 2013, powered by electricity… because the future and all.

The automaker took to its blog this weekend announcing a partnership with Epic EV to make this “all-electric” DMC-12 a reality. Your Houston New reports that it’s rated for 260 horsepower with a maximum speed of 125MPH — although, we all know there’s no need to go past 88MPH. It’s expected to cost about six-figures, which sadly won’t include a Flux Capacitor, but you could always run the app for that with its in-console iPhone holster...

You might remember last year we featured the CubeStormer a Rubik's Cube solver that was built from Lego and became the Worlds Fastest Lego Mindstorms RCX Speedcubing Robot.

In honor of the manga's 30th anniversary, Bandai Japan is making a $900, official-as-hell Kaneda jacket from Akira. As you can see, it's gorgeous, stunningly accurate, is made from "oil-softened cowhide leather" and even comes up to XXXL in Japanese sizes, so it may actually fit some American nerds. All you need to do is figure out how to pre-order it from Bandai's LalaBit Market here, and have $900 you can blow on a piece of truly awesome nerd merchandise. On the other hand, you can spend a fraction on that money on psychedelic drugs, and then have a very different but no less authentic Akira experience...

While his subjects (in another context) might embody the quintessential happy ending, Rodolfo reminds is that as individuals we are neither wholly immune nor entirely susceptible to viscera. We absorb a narrative that is neither truth nor lie, allowing elements of fantasy to become our reality, and so it should come as no surprise to discover elements of reality intruding on our richest fantasies. Even material that is created as an escape from waking life can be impacted by the real world, changing the original aesthetic completely...

Profiles in History is auctioning off over a 100 Back to the Future props but the one that's got me—and about the entire rest of the world—shaking in my boots is the DeLorean used in BTTF III. It's one of only seven DeLoreans used throughout the entire series...

Why is it that every wedding I get invited to seems to involve long, drawn-out, hyper-religious ceremonies and readings of old poetry? Somehow I manage to miss out on all the awesome geek weddings, like this Super Mario Bros.-themed one.

A Dutch site recently held a competition asking people to take a stock PC case —in this case a Corsair 600T—and spice them up a little. The results are spicy.
