Deep dives into niche interests, curiosities, experiments, hardware, software, science, and ideas that appeal to technically curious and enthusiast audiences.
The Millennium Falcon & The General Lee Morph Together
Now this is original. Who would ever think to combine The Dukes of Hazzard with the Millennium Falcon? Until right now, Han Solo and Chewbacca never really seemed like the redneck type to me.
I remember watching The Dukes of Hazzard when I was very young. Of course, back then, all the girls wa ...
The Monopoly Game Made From Solid Gold
When I was young, I used to love playing Monopoly. I learned so much about managing money from that game. My sisters and I would play it all day long on the weekends. We always thought whoever got to be the banker was the luckiest player since that person got to pass out all the money.
As an a ...
The Emergency Bra: It Transforms Into A Face Mask!
If there is one piece of women's clothing that hasn't changed very much over the years, it's the bra, until now. I can't decide if this is really creative or completely sad. I've always thought of a bra as being lacy, pretty, in white, black or red, and from a place like Victoria's Secret. I've n ...
New World Record Set: The Biggest Burger Ever
Earlier today when I wrote about live crabs being sold in vending machines, it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. So, now I've decided to write another food article, but this time, something a little more light hearted and fun.
Below is a picture of Steve Mallie who is the new Guinness Book o ...
WTH: Eat LIVE Crab From A Vending Machine
I admit, I like my food to have faces. I'm a meat eater all the way. After I wrote this article about how to kill a lobster in a humane way, I met my friend @veganmeans. He sent me a copy of his fabulous book, and after reading it, I tried not to eat meat for a while.
Since then, I've come to ...
The Granny Panty Chandelier
What is it about chandeliers? In the past, we've featured chandeliers made out of prescription pill bottles, globes, bicycle chains and gummy bears, so why not granny panties? It makes sense, right? Hmm... of course it does!
So, I gotta give well-known video-artist Pipilotti Rist props for cre ...
Tunnels Encompassing: The Chair Of A Million Uses!
There are some inventors out there that have a different view on the world, and how we live in it. It's because of those inventors that we constantly see new and exciting things in our stores every year. I have always found it interesting to see what can be done with things that already exist. We ...
A Fashion Diva’s Dream Car
Why is my mouth watering? It really is! Ok, I might not drive this car in real life. Lord knows my driving is bad enough, I don't need to draw any attention to it. However, dannnnnnnng this is a cool car! It's hard to believe underneath all this artsy goodness is a Honda Odyssey.
Kelly Lyles, an ...
A Steampunk R2-D2: He Ages Very Well!
It seems people will steampunk just about anything these days. That Victorian style combined with punk flare seems to be getting more and more popular.
This particular steampunk creation is near and dear to my heart since I've had a crush on R2-D2 ever since I was a young girl. Maybe if he ever ...
How To: Win A Water Balloon Fight!
When I was a kid, there were no computer games, so we were always outside playing. I think the only time you would catch us indoors was when it was cartoon time, or if it was raining. We would always call our playmates and play a number of outdoor games like soccer, hide-and-seek, hop scotch, Chin ...
This Reversed Fountain Will Mess With Your Mind!
Traveling is a great way to see new things, things that you would normally only see on TV, the Internet or read about in the news. When it comes to landmarks and special attractions, there is no better way to experience them than going there in person. I am sure we will soon find ourselves immerse ...
How Star Wars Costumes Would Have Looked Back In 1942!
When I went to school, I sure had my share of geeky teachers. You could tell they were passionate about the subjects they taught by just listening to them explain physics or biology. It kind of ran through their veins and right from the very first sentence you could tell that the subject was somet ...
Now All Of You Smart People, Try Solving This One!
So after a while, you manage to finish up the Rubik's Cube. You are fairly skilled in pretty much any programming language there is, and math is your closest friend. You might even have a crack at becoming a member of MENSA (or at least that's what you think). But hold up a second there. Before y ...
Travel With A Casket: The Rock’n Roll Way To Pack!
So you're on the road a lot. I bet you stand at those luggage conveyor belts waiting for your bag thinking, "Dang, whoever owns that bag must be doing something right." Well, let me tell you, the bag doesn't really reflect who the person is. It's just what they prefer hauling their clothes and st ...
How To: Make A Laptop Case With Recycled Plastic!
We use plastic bags all the time and why not? It's convenient. However, it has its downside, most of the plastics that we use for shopping bags are non biodegradable. What this means is that their composition will not be broken down easily, thus they can pollute our environment. When we did two ...
