Geek Find: ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas TARDIS Wrapping Paper
  |  @   |  

Last month, we spotlighted some very cool Doctor Who Wrapping Paper made by Merrypranxter’s, aka designer Lauren Castor, sold through her Etsy shop.

Lauren tells us that thanks to our coverage of her geeky creations (as we were the first mainstream site to feature her shop and got the ball rolling), she’s gotten in enough orders that she was able to lower her prices! So, if you had your eye on getting buying some of this wrapping paper, for the uber-geek in your life, now’s the time!

Also, she’s added a few more Christmas-themed geeky designs to her selections, including the Christmas TARDIS and Klingon Christmas. These styles are among several other Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who-themed wrapping paper and holiday cards (as well as many of her original designs).

See here at right a sample of the Doctor Who Christmas TARDIS design (which I think is my favorite!!!).

Geek Find: ‘Cat Cam: The World Of Cooper The Photographer Cat’
  |  @   |  

I used to wonder what my three cats were doing when I wasn’t around. Judging by how they behaved while with me, I assumed that they did a lot of sleeping, eating, chewing on plastic, and hitting each other. So, I set up a webcam so I could check in on the kitties while I was away and guess what they were doing? Sleeping, eating… you get the picture.

Also getting the picture is Cooper, the Cat Photographer, in his new full-color photo book Cat Cam: The World of Cooper the Photographer Cat. Yes, a cat who takes photos! But you won’t find multiple shots of food bowls or toy mice in this book, as Cooper explores the outdoors, capturing scenarios unique to his take of the world living a foot from the ground.

Equipped with a small, lightweight camera on his collar that snaps a picture every two minutes, Cooper takes a weekly photography adventure through his Seattle neighborhood, where he lives with his human family and co-authors, filmmakers Michael and Deirdre Cross, and their baby Cameron.

Trust me, once you see these photos, you will be blown away that they were taken by a cat. While some of Cooper’s vivid pictures are abstract in nature, there’s a variety of beautiful landscape shots, encounters with fellow creatures, and portraits of his family in and around their house, all from the feline’s perspective. A lot of the images are fun, especially Cooper’s shadowy self-portraits, and you can imagine what the cat was thinking while bracing for the shots; others are truly endearing, like the quiet, heartfelt moment Cooper captured between Deirdre and Cameron at home.
