We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Katamari Is The Way And The Light

Knowing you lovable geeklings to be a voracious crowd of gamers, unsatisfied with a few measly pieces of shwag and promotional material with which adorn your dwellings and proclaim superiority over your comrades, it is with delight that I bring you the latest treasure from my regular forays into the wilds of Instructables.

The proposed purpose of this project is simply to make a giant lamp from many smaller lamps, but you know better than that don't you? Look at it, how could that be anything other than a cleverly crafted Katamari, set to spread its cockle-warming glow all throughout your humble abode. The wide array of colors offered by the Swedish furniture shilling powerhouse, Ikea, allow you to get as creative as you'd like.

Pondering this project also brings to mind ways in which it could further simulate its origins, namely with the application of a bit of velcro or some other random adhesive, anything strong enough to firmly grip a household pet or pre-adolescent sibling should suffice.
