Life-size X-wing up for grabs on eBay

By Barb Dybwad

X-Wing life-size replica

You know, why mess around with the small fry Star Wars-themed gadgets when you can go whole hog? If you really want a collectible that’ll impress your friends, take out a second mortgage on the home and go for the life-sized X-wing fighter — one of only eight left in the entire world! Start your bid at $40K or, if you’re one of those impulse shoppers, take the $85K Buy-It-Now option, which will net you free shipping, no less.

No Name game#1

Another game that seems impossible.... I'd be happy to finish, let alone have a good time.

Anakin Dynamite

In Anakin Dynamite, an awkward apprentice struggles with older Jedis, school elections and idiots!
If you like Napoleon Dynamite and Star Wars, you'll love Anakin Dynamite.

The Baby Name Wizard

The Baby Name Wizard is a very cool Java web-based application that will let you look at the popularity of different baby names over the last 100 years. I'm not sure why it's so addicting, but you find yourself putting every name you can think of in it.
