Celebrity Goes LEGO: Life Size Conan O’Brien LEGO Build
You can build a lot of things using LEGO, and I think the Internet has shown us that pretty much anything is possible. When I first saw the impressive Star Wars Droid Control Ship, I was blown away by the determination some people put into their LEGO building. It's one thing to put together a buil ...
Ring Shaver: The Future Of Grooming Is Revealed
It's probably one of the most frequent commercials on TV, and it seems for each year that passes by, the only difference we see in today's shavers is that they add another razor blade to the thing. It's almost a little annoying really. Why not bust on as many razor blades as possible from the star ...
Alarmingly Cute Star Wars Bobble Heads Now Available
I am going to go for a strike today with Star Wars related material. With this many years in development, Star Wars certainly deserves all the attention we can throw at it. After all, George Lucas has given us a world within our own and boat loads of gadgets that never would have seen the light of ...
Imperial LEGO Ice Cream: Darth Vader Now Serves Us All
I think the number of Darth Vader incarnations goes way beyond what anyone can keep track of. It has become a genre where humor is as much a part of the cool as the actual movies are. It's a weird statement I know, but the fact that it is spot on is even more disturbing. The prequels were handed ...
Book Origami Typography: The Ultimate Inspiration
As a designer, you will find inspiration in everything that has a message. This means that pretty much everything you hear, see or feel will poke at your creativity and spark something that will be born into something new. It's a process very much like life itself, and how it begins. But all insp ...
A Sad Story: Super Mario Depicted From A Darker Side
Super Mario has always been this lively happy game that we have all enjoyed since its first incarnation. There have been countless versions of the game, and also other games featuring Super Mario. He may very well be the world's most famous game character ever conceived. Each game created hauls i ...
The History Of Gaming: From Oscilloscope To Virtual Reality
I have always wondered how people can ignore the power of gaming and say it's utter play. Of course it's play, but one must not forget that it is because of play that we have the technologies we have today, no matter what it is. It's from the trials and errors that we have developed into the speci ...
Could This Be The World’s Simplest And Thinnest iPhone Case?
I think by now I have pretty much covered the most expensive, the most durable, the largest and the most technological iPhone cases that I have been able to find. However, I have yet one more to process. As I've said many times before, Apple really opened up a new market when they released the fir ...
Soaphenge: The Cleaner Version Of Stonehenge
So where does art begin and end? That's a monumental question, and as I ask it out loud to myself, I am not sure it is to be answered, at least not by me. I appreciate art in all its forms and sizes, so much so that I regularly visit exhibitions and art galleries around Stockholm whenever I get a ...
Twitter Paper Toy: For The Seriously Addicted Tweeps
So what does it mean to be addicted to Twitter? That's a question many people have tried to answer. The scale has many ratings and what seems like perfectly normal behavior for some is considered beyond addiction to others. The fine line between these camps would be much too hard to explain, so I ...
AA USB: The Flash Drive That Doubles As A Battery
Energy consumption is one of the hottest topics in today's news. Pretty much every day we're seeing how the price for energy is skyrocketing. It seems especially during the winter, production of energy is most costly which in turn pushes the prices up higher and higher. I can imagine that some re ...
This Is Jada: The First Working Badminton Robot In The World
Sports have always been the main activity for kids to get their butts out the door. For grown-ups, it's a bit different since with age we seem to slow down on the activities a little and become couch potatoes. But with technology changing, we are getting some really cool and nifty things that will ...
Grilltendo: Become The Master Of Your Barbecue Party
Alright, so even if there is still snow on the ground, I am looking forward to that first barbecue that is looming in the horizon. It will be quite some time because I reckon the snow won't melt away for at least another month or so. Even after that, there is no point in having a barbecue if the t ...
Pac-Man: The Official Movie Trailer Is Out
My first thought was, this must be a joke. And to some extent it is, but not completely. The trailer is a real one that is amping up the hype around a new series on American TV this year. Some say it's more of a movie but Merv Griffin Entertainment, the producer of the show, is telling us that it ...
Now There Are Even Edible Angry Birds Cake Toppers
So I finally pushed myself over the edge and tried out the heavily successful Angry Birds game on my iPad. I had tried it out briefly before, but this time, I wanted to really get into the game, and I did. The graphics aren't that impressive, and the game play isn't unique after having played Crus ...
