Tech Tuesday - Millennium Falcon Cockpit Bed, Carbonite Ice, & Solo Cups

In keeping with the spirit of the two-day nerdgasmic holiday, allow me to point out that over on The Nerdist last week they claimed "The Best Bedrooms have a Millennium Falcon Cockpit" here.  As a loft bed, apparently.  For your kids, silly, not your older self.

But that's cool because when you put them in the fastest hunk of bed in the galaxy next year when having your friends over for the all-night Star Wars movie marathon, you'll be able to pour the drinks over some Han Solo in carbonite ice slabs made in trays from here.

Of course, you have to serve drinks like this in Solo Cups, but there are ways to have those customized here.  Adorn them with phrases like "Han Drunk First," "Scoundrels Do It Better," and "Let's Do the Kessel Run."

The Friday Grab Bag - Free Comic Book Day, D&D App, & DM Prep

Right up front, it would be remiss not to mention that tomorrow (being the first Saturday in May) is Free Comic Book Day.  So many of us derive a great deal of inspiration from the artwork and stories in the delightful pages of comic books old and new.  Find a shop or participating location near you through their website here.

Also, today sees the release of a Dungeons & Dragons App.  According to the description, "Dragon+ is your official mobile source for all-things Dungeons & Dragons. This free app for iPhone or iPad has everything you want to know about D&D in one easy place."  Check it out here.

Finally, over on Total Fan Girl, enjoy the weekend knowing that GMs like the youngster in the article will prep all week to have your game ready to play.  Read more about "[Total Fan Girl's] Daughter Spent This Whole Week Prepping To DM Her First D&D Game" here.
