If you missed out on Tuesday’s “Gallifery Timelords” offering, you’ll be happy to know that the 10th and 11th Doctors now have their own shirts sporting the “doctored” NBA logo. Now when people look at your shirt and say “Who” you can play the game of figuring out whether they’re a fellow nerd or someone asking who the hell “Who” is… Good times.
Dragon battles beat the NBA hands down—but some of these games can stretch on for like 10 hours.

It appears that Star Wars Day at AT&T Park was a smashing success. While the San Francisco Giants played the Arizona Diamondbacks, fans in costumes geeked out. Attendees proved that sports and geeks can mix together without bloodshed. There was a pre-game costume contest, Giants players modeled Jedi robes, scenes from the films aired on the screens in the stadium, and there were Star Wars giveaways. Fans didn’t just show up in plain Star Wars costumes either. Many enthusiasts mashed up Giants colors and Star Wars garb. I hope the winner of the costume contest received a medal of Yavin.

It’s time to face the facts, Darth Vader wasn’t cut out for sports. He’s using the wrong equipment, he has really bad asthma and he keeps getting penalized for using the force.

The summer is almost upon us, and that means hitting the beach. Casio’s Baby-G BLX-100 watch line is targeted at women that enjoy surfing and not spending a ton of money on watches.
So would it be good for my mom for Mother’s Day? Well, maybe—if your mom surfs and can figure out all of the tide settings on this thing.
The E39 from Under Armour contains a sensor pack called “a bug” that features a triaxial accelerometer, processor, and 2GB of storage along with heart rate and breathing monitors. It’s capable of analyzing movements and vital signs then beaming that information to smartphones, iPads and laptops for analysis.
Obviously, the intent is to gather data to help improve athletic performance—and it will be showcased at the NFL Combine this week on 10-30 prospective players. Under Armour plans to make the technology available to Under Armour contracted teams, schools and trainers then the general public—hopefully by 2012.

The benefits of walking and playing certain sports (particularly running) with bare feet is well documented. The argument is that training barefoot gives you better control with your movements and it shifts the weight of impact to ball of the foot rather than the heel. This improves efficiency and reduces impact force—which could help to reduce injury. Of course, there is plenty of danger associated with running round barefoot on rough terrain.
There are shoes out there that mimic bare feet, like Vibram FiveFingers, but if you really want to get as close to the real thing as possible, these Footstickers might be the solution. Unfortunately, it’s only a concept at the moment, but we can definitely see a market for them.
