R2-D2 Makes A Rare Dancing With The Stars Appearance
Wow wa wee wha did I get quite the surprise when I tuned into Dancing With The Stars last night. Who knew that former N'Sync boy band member Joey Fatone was such a Star Wars fan?! Joey and his dance partner Kym Johnson surprised everyone with a tango dance routine to the tune of the Star Wars theme.
R2-D2 Mailbox Sighting! Reader Responds
After hearing the United States Postal Service has decided to pay homage to the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars series by covering select mailboxes with R2-D2 shells I went on a hunt in San Francisco in search of pimped out mailboxes.
I searched and I searched, but it was all in vain. Luckily, msugar and her friend Anika spotted the kitschy mailboxes near their office in Oregon.
Mailboxes Get A R2-D2 Makeover
I can't imagine a more flattering compliment for the ultimate geek franchise than being commemorated on a mailbox. Oh wait, geeks don't send snail mail. Regardless, 2007 is the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars release and the United States Postal Service has decided to pay homage to the series by covering select mailboxes with R2-D2 shells.

Are You Over the Geek-Cake Craze?
Although I am still "eating up" all the geeky cakes being made by crafty bakers (and even our own TeamSugar members), I know that some of you may roll your eyes at the thought of seeing one more cake in the likeness of an iPhone or Star Wars character — even this crazy accurate R2D2 wedding cake — however crafty that they may be. I do love finding these edible gems, but are you totally over it?

Essential Geeky Desk Accessories
Since we spend more time at work than we do at home, naturally, you'd want to be as comfy as possible. That includes having all of your nerdy desk accessories within arms reach. I mean, who hasn't wanted to take a break from all those TPS reports and flow charts to play with their Lightsaber desk lamp for a few?
Makeup Shade or Star Wars Character?
Don't laugh, but I am the proud owner of a Darth Vader t-shirt that has a sparkly iron-on decal. You could say I like some nerdier things in life, and the Star Wars series is no exception. We all know R2-D2, C-3PO, and Yoda, but what about some of the smaller characters from novels, games, and cartoons?
