\"Ouija<\/a>Stop. Before you read any further, go clear your schedule for the next few hours. You’ll be spending them digging through the archives of Dave’s Geeky Ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found the ouija board decor photo above posted on an aggregator site, but for a wonder, the watermark hadn’t been cut off so I was able to find the original creator. It’s a concept design<\/a> by Dave Delisle, and there’s lots more where that came from.<\/p>\n

The site is devoted to just what it says on the tin: Geeky ideas that Dave has. As he says in his FAQ<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I post all kinds of ideas, usually of the geeky variety. I strive to create content that does not exist anywhere else. A lot of this is ‘dreaming out-loud’ or ‘food-for-thought’ or ‘wishful thinking’, but hopefully presented in an entertaining way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He notes that he isn’t interested in manufacturing any of these things–frequently there are licensing or logistical obstacles–but he also doesn’t mind if somebody else is inspired to create something he’s suggested. He even recommends resources for the custom manufacture of his designs.<\/p>\n

The site is a treasure trove of geeky and gothy DIY ideas, from a Zelda floating rupee<\/a> to a Supernatural<\/i>-inspired Blu-Ray case<\/a> to a LOTR jewelry box<\/a> (which would be a great way to showcase a prop ring).<\/p>\n

Since the ideas are mostly just-throwing-it-out-there concept stuff, there obviously isn’t a lot of detail about how<\/em> any particular item might be built. However, as a jumping-off point for your own creative ideas, this is an amazing resource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
