MOC by LEGO Design Lead Craig Callum.
Star Wars and LEGO fans rejoice! LEGO designer Mark Stafford recently shared this photo of a custom-built Volkswagon Star Wars LEGO mashup. Stafford says it was created by his co-worker, LEGO Design Lead Craig Callum. The photo was used in the LEGO-enthusiast outlet Brick Journal last year, but was shared on May 4, otherwise known as Star Wars Day.
May the force be with you.

If talking like Yoda is on your bucket list, this site is for you. Copy and paste a string of text, like: tweets, song lyrics, jokes, etc… Then click “convert to Yoda-speak.” That’s it. Easy and fun for the whole family.
Oh yah, there’s an API for that, too.
By the way, the next Talk Like Yoda Day is May 21, 2013.
What is Geek Pride Day?
An initiative to promote geek culture, celebrated on 25 May. The date was chosen as to commemorate the release of the first Star Wars film, A New Hope on 25 May 1977 (see Star Wars Day). In 1998 a guy named Tim McEachern started “The Geek Pride Festival” in Albany, New York. Next, the initiative was celebrated in Spain in 2006 as “Orgullo Friki” and spread around the world via the internet.
How can you celebrate? Look for Geek Pride Day activities on Plancast, order something from Think Geek to get a Geek Pride Day pin, or read a book in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) category.

Here on FAVES, we’re about to celebrate in true geek fashion. I’m giving away one, six-month membership to The Pig Next Door’s The Pig’s Heirloom Bacon Club*. This is bacon made from heritage breeds raised using sustainable methods (from farmers who care about flavor, not profit). As if you needed added incentive, right? Bacon delivered to your door each month. Boom!
*Unfortunately, TPND only ships within the United States. 
Enjoy the day!
What are you FAVES? Share them with me for future posts, right here.

Entrepreneur Jay Mug (I’m so jealous of his last name) gives us some delicious eye candy with his anatomy breakdown “nerd or geek.” Based on this I’m actually a geek. What about you? Let us know in the comments.
Before I go, I leave you with this, “Spock, you are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is: which path will you choose? This is something only you can decide.” (Star Trek, 2009)
