  [PIC] Dlinc, the reader who sent us the pictures of the massive LEGO Millennium Falcon unboxing, also included a picture of his computer rig, which looks as it belongs right in the Falcon itself. I don't know about you, but I am absolutely amazed by the space combat meet CTU look.

• Geek Chic: Glasses are cool again

  Don’t be scared to glass it up. For one, contact lens are annoying, drying pains in my eyes. Glasses not only show people you’re smart, but if you follow some of my advice, people might think you’re also a cool person…who just happens to draw a diagram of the Millennium Falcon from memory.

  Japanese Lego builder Jun Brick (think that's his real name?) has been hard at work at a 1:40 model of the famouse Batleship Yamato for over a year. This gargantuan model puts the Millennium Falcon to shame, stretching out for over 20 feet and using a whopping 100,000 pieces...(continued).
