In season 3, episode 4 of The IT Crowd (a nerdy britcom that chronicles the story of two basement-dwelling IT geeks), our lovable geeks “help” their boss by letting her borrow The Internet for her Employee of the Month speech.

The Internet is black box with a blinking red light on top that Roy and Moss have given Jen, who knows absolutely nothing about computers, in the hopes of embarrassing her in front of her peers during her speech.

Naturally, as happens too often in real-life, the rest of her peers are complete knobs and have no idea what the Internet is either, so they are quite impressed by The Internet, and Roy and Moss are hoist by their own petard. (I’m not doing this episode justice at all. The only thing worse than trying to summarize a British comedy in text is an American trying to summarize a British comedy in text.)

Watch a clip from this episode for yourself, and then download the series on Netflix Instant Queue,

Now, thanks to Instructables user Melty McFace, you can build your own The Internet and let your own inter-office mayhem ensue. Click here for the step-by-step.

Doctor Who has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity, thanks to the adorkable charms of David Tennant. Oh, David. How we’ll miss your crooked smile, quirky hair and mischievous eyes. Sigh.

Wait, what? I’m sorry, was I saying something? Oh, right. So if you’re a fan of the Doctor, new or old, check out the Doctor Who collection over at Weta. They’ve got some pretty cool stuff, including figurines and these incredibly awesome helmets.

Unfortunately, they’re 1/4 scale, which means you can’t actually wear them unless you have a teenie tiny head, but I’m not here to judge you. The helmets are listed at $58NZ, but you can buy all three in the picture for $237.60NZ.

Wait, what?

I don’t know what $58NZ means in real money, but I’m pretty sure $58 x 3=$174, so that doesn’t seem like a great deal to me. Oh well, I don’t care if they suck at math, they make gorgeous stuff. I really, really want an Ood helmet. In a size that is big enough to fit my big fat head. Barring that, I’ll wear them on my breasts and pretend to be Boobthulhu.

Looks like they’ve got some cool stuff planned for the upcoming District 9 collectible series, too. As I was grabbing an image of the alien from their preview page, I realized one image was actually larger than the visible area:

So, I’m not sure if I stumbled on something cool, or if they published the fully-visible image somewhere else and I’m just deluding myself into thinking I’m clever. Either way, please to enjoy.

I know at least a few of the geeks reading this are Browncoats, so this one’s for you. Quantum Mechanix has this two-inch gem for pre-sale (expected to ship March 15, 2010) for just ten bucks.

The Firefly Replica Keychain was created using the TV series’ special effects files and carefully scaling them down to just over two inches. The keychain is cast in solid metal with a pewter finish and contains an incredible amount of detail – leaving no doubt that when you travel, you do it in Firefly style.

Pre-order it now from Entertainment Earth, or pre-order from Quantum Mechanix for a chance to win the shiny version. Details at the link.
