Back To The Future Flux Capacitor Blu-Ray Case
UPDATE: Universal is releasing an official Flux Capacitor blu-ray edition (see below). Hooray! I remember posting this design in 2010, a few months before the 25th anniversary set came out. Nice to see it become a reality. Read the rest of this entry

Not what you were expecting? I hope it garnered a chuckle at the very least. Fun is the running theme here at Dave’s Geeky Ideas.
UPDATE: No longer available! The place that sold them is out of business.

I love to make stuff that people can print. It’s a weird consolation prize for not being able to deliver any actual products I feature here. At the same time it’s stuff that I enjoy printing myself, so a win-win situation all round.
Please post these responsibly, because they have the potential to get me in hot water if used in a way that is considered vandalism. I’m always a Google search away from law enforcement authorities, apparently. Don’t shoot any rabbits or ducks either.
Black and white versions after the jump. Read the rest of this entry

Desk Dashboard
This is an idea I submitted to Thinkgeek (and was since rejected). Basically it was a USB widget that sat on your desk and provided helpful notifications, some which were goofy (coffee levels), others more helpful like telling you to get up and stretch.
It could also alert you to lunchtime or breaktime, when you got an email, or when the internet was out. All functions would be programmed by your desktop computer.
The design was based on the typical dashboard you’d find in your car. If programmed, it could also have chime sounds like a car too.

Breaking Bad Collection Blu-Ray Case
EDIT Sept 8/2013: For the header image I’m just trying a new render technique. Old image is here. Original post as follows:
The easiest cases for me to design are based on actual cases. So when I saw that ‘Vamonos Pest’ stage case roll by a few episodes ago, I knew it would be perfect for a collection. Read the rest of this entry

Sure…why not? And yes it would be stackable for those zany people who have more than 8 spices.

Playstation 2 Vita Pipe Dream
The PS Vita can’t catch a break when it comes to its sales numbers. There are a ton of reasons, and they are the usual suspects: lack of software, too pricey, bad economy, bought a Nintendo 3DS instead, etc. I’d like to offer my own reason, and that is the Playstation brand just isn’t the juggernaut it used to be. When the PSP was released, it rode the coattails of the can’t-lose PS2. A Playstation on-the-go had massive appeal 10 years ago. Now? Not quite as tantalizing a prospect, at least in this blogger’s opinion.
Given the reigns at Sony, my first act to rejuvenate the PS Vita would be to release a peripheral that would allow the transfer of PS1 and PS2 games to the Vita. Backwards compatibility for the masses! Software emulators would be installed on the PS Vita through a firmware update, aided by an external drive device to port over games (as depicted above).
I’m a huge fan of backwards compatibility (well, any added functionality in general). I was quite perplexed when Sony initially offered backwards compatibility for the PS3, only to remove it soon after. Looking back it made a lot of sense for Sony: PS2 was still selling like mad (and those actually made a profit), and the backwards compatibility inflated the PS3’s already-gargantuan cost. So it made sense for the fiscal health of the PS2 and PS3.
If backwards comparability can be removed for the well-being of a console platform, then why can’t it be introduced to help save a platform? Read the rest of this entry
