Sometimes I think about all those young Star Wars fans back in 1978, sitting at home in front of their 12-inch TV screens, waiting with bated breath for the Star Wars Holiday Special to come on. Just put yourself in their shoes for a second—the only Star Wars they have ever known is the actual "Star Wars" movie they went to see again and again in the cinema because home video isn't even a thing yet. And now they get the promise of an all-new Star Wars adventure. Will it be a continuation of the…

Ah, the golden days of our youth, where Halloween wasn't just a holiday, it was a cinematic moment. Do you recall that year you were dead-set on channeling your inner hero or diva from the latest blockbuster or binge-worthy series? Imagining the gasps of awe from your pals as you strutted your stuff, right? And then... reality hit. Instead of the sleek and stylish ensemble of 'The Dark Knight,' Mom and Dad proudly presented the 'Dim Evening Guardian.' Not exactly what we had in mind, eh? For th…

You know what's weird? The fact that no one in the star wars universe invented a smartphone. Like, they have sentient robots, spaceships, and holograms, but no one is using anything that resembles a smartphone. Sure, they can send holographic messages to each other, letting people know there is a clone army on Kamino, or that they are each other's only hope, but you never see anyone doom-scrolling through Geonosis's version of Facebook, or posting memes about the empire . No one is sharing pict…

Meme-vengers... Assemble!

This is our favorite type of geekiness—when you take one passion (in this case, chemistry) and combine it perfectly with another passion you possess (character design), mashing them together to create something that is not only visually striking but also creative and educational. Artist Kacie D. beautifully combined her two passions by creating personal illustrations for 112 elements in the periodic table (why she didn’t do the last six? We have no idea). Each illustration depicts the element a…

The circle button on my controller is getting worn out from all the dodging I have to do to defeat an L2 boss

So, Return of the Jedi was released 41 years ago! And that's a bit of a shocker for me because I still vividly remember seeing it in the cinema. Where have the years gone? My parents walked into the cinema with one kid and came out with another— a Star Wars kid . From that moment on, all I could talk about for the next few months were Jedis, Ewoks, spaceships, and the death of Darth Vader. Well, 41 years have passed and I am still very much a Star Wars kid . Even though I can now admit that "Re…

We all know the story of how Newton discovered gravity , right? He was sitting under a tree when an apple fell on his head. The only thing is—that’s not what happened at all! Yes, he was sitting under a tree and thinking about apples falling, but that was while he was developing the theory of gravity. For some reason, probably to make it more appealing to the masses, the story was ‘embellished’ with nicer details to create a better narrative. And what about the Vikings and their famously horned…

The modern world we live in is just covered in signs . Some just point you in the right direction, some warn you of danger and some are just trying to sell you things you don't really need. So in this modern world that is almost covered in signs, how do you make your sign stand out? well, you can make it bigger than everyone else's or use bolder letters and colors, but there will always be a bigger and bolder sign to take your place. Another thing you can do is be unique, stand out from the cro…

Being witty is better than being correct.
