I should have turned this into a guess the gadget because I never would have guessed in a million years that someone would actually take their old G4 case and turn it into a mailbox—but then again if it's just wasting space and not being used, you might as well get creative! Featured on Geekologie, this pretty sleek Apple mailbox puts traditional red mailboxes to shame. How long do you think it will last before someone tries to a) beat it with a hockey stick or b) steal it cause they think it's valuable?

Thanks to TeamSugar user sunny_and72 (aka Kellie DeFries) for sending us this fabulous and blingin' iPhone. As chief designer for Bling My Thing, Kellie created this design for the iPhone called "Rainbow Boogie," which does in fact come in a rainbow of colors! I wonder how long it takes to create such a sparkley masterpiece?

If it weren't for KadBunny I might have missed this Jumbotron DS, which is quite honestly the largest Nintendo DS I've ever seen.
It's essentially a Nintendo DS hooked up to two Tablet PC screens, using an FPGA in between to do some translation magic. Pen input from the Tablet PC screens is sent back to the DS.

Today's Moment of Geek comes to us courtesy of FitSugar's friend, who has a custom cake business, Cakes By 2 Moms, in the Bay Area. What I like about these edible geek treats in comparison to the oodles of video game cakes we've seen, is the fact that they look like something I'd like to eat. They aren't covered in inches of fondant, but they still tout some serious geek cred and creative designs.

Last week's moment of geek champion the Computer Monster might look at this cute and creative typewriter softie and see lunch, but I see a fun geeky craft project that deserves kudos and a permanent place on a desktop. Its creator, a crafter that goes by the name of blueblythe, says it is modeled after her boyfriend's great-great-grandfather's typewriter. "It took me several weeks of non stop sewing to finish," says blueblythe.

Every couple of days we run across items so geeky we can't even begin to explain them. We politely refer to them as "Moments of Geek," as in a short fact, tidbit, video or picture that's not worthy of a whole feature story, but is worthy of a moment of your time.
Today's example comes to you courtesy of Muppet creator Jim Henson, who created the "computer monster" sketch in the early 1960s.

Talk about a geeky DIY project! A guy named Matt spent the last couple of months collecting scrap CPUs and creating an elaborate CPU desk. The project began this spring when Matt and his co-workers started upgrading a customer's computer and realized several hundred Itanium CPUs, in perfect working order, were going to be scrapped.

Knowing how much geeks love LEGOs and how much everyone loves the Guitar Hero game, it seems natural that a combination of the two is destined for greatness.
Enter this homemade model of a Gibson Explorer that is made up entirely of LEGO blocks. Best part about it, is the device works as a controller for the Guitar Hero game.

In need of an early weekend lift? A pack of Russian students created a life sized Tetris game by running through a huge building and playing with the lights. I kind of hope this video involves an editing trick or two.
