Big list of scifi. Truly the most useful thing to come out of iO9, but unfortunately they also feel the need to write about scifi porn all the time. While I feel I should applaud this, it really limits their audience and it's getting freaking annoying.
An example of the kind of thing we should be working on right now. But better.
More lego. Some we've seen before, but I love that someone decided to build a model of those giant excavator things. Plus, it's got all of the steampunk Star Wars stuff. Plus I get to add the lego tag.
And finally, geeks partying it out! It's like burning man for non-hippies. I actually did an internship there (Ames) a long, long time ago, and I'm pretty sure I peed behind that building in the 4th image. So this looks like another tradition that's completely been absorbed by internet culture (e.g., booths for Instructables, Spore...). Not that this is a bad thing, but I wonder if it's actually the same dozen people going to these events over and over again wearing different wigs, and the rest of the net just assumes we're participating by proxy in a wider world, but really, it's just them.

I'm sure we can manufacture a meme-of-the-moment if we really put our minds to it. We'll also need to generate (or gather) a lot of content surrounding it. But then what? This sounds a little like the underpants gnomes' business plan.
