She Built a TARDIS… Out of ADORABLENESS
I’d like to enter a new contestant for Queen of the Nerds; meet Sillysparrowness, who built her own TARDIS. Now the fact that she built a TARDIS is not why I think she’d make a fine nerd queen, at least not exactly. Here’s why she gets my vote:
? She made an incredibly awesome TARDIS
? She made an awesome TARDIS that’s both easily constructable and totally portable
? She made this video documenting her making of said TARDIS
? The video is funny, adorable, and extremely well-edited
? SillySparrowness herself is funny, adorable, and if not well-edited, she’s still incredibly clever and immensely talented Seriously, even you guys who aren’t into Doctor Who should give this a watch, because this lady is absolutely delightful, and so is her video. Infinite thanks to my friend Mel for the tip; now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go swoon for a bit.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
