Etsy seller Ruth Marcus is offering this portrait of Spock holding a cat, accompanied by the following description which is basically what you would expect from someone who is selling a portrait of Spock holding a cat:
As a dedicated scientist, Mini feels a deep connection with Spock. Their bond is celebrated here by a customized, acrylic pet-celebrity portrait.
If you want in on the action, Ruth will create a customized acrylic portrait of your pet with any celebrity “who is awesome and whose picture is readily available”.

What happens when you take some of the most amazing, most recognizable voice talent around and put it all in the same room?

This all happened at Emerald City Comicon when Billy West, Tara Strong, Maurice LaMarche, John DiMaggio, Kevin Conroy, Jess Harnell and Rob Paulsen spent over an hour reading the trilogy as some of their most well-known characters. Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls is Darth Vader. Enough said.

Most of us think our jobs are pretty cool because we get free coffee and maybe donuts on Fridays. If you work at Bethesda, you think your job is cool because there’s a life-sized reproduction of Alduin’s Wall from Skyrim just sitting there as part of the office decor. This originally was part of the displays Bethesda set up at E3 and PAX, but has a new home in their offices. Way to make the rest of us feel totally lame, Bethesda. Um, got any job openings?
