How To Overcome The Blind Spot While Driving
Our cars are getting ever more advanced, and the features are making them more secure and automated. Some people argue that going in this direction is better for everyone's safety, and to some extent I can agree. However, when does the pleasure of actually driving the car get jeopardized? I sure w ...
A Guilty Pleasure for Geeks: The Star Wars Plush Toy!
Toys are no longer just for kids, they are now for grownups too. I have friends and family members that collect unique figurines and action figures that are very expensive, and they keep them in mint condition. They even dedicate an entire room to them, or they have custom made casings to display ...
Support Builders Of Tanks, When They Build Them Like This!
I find it rather interesting that even though pretty much 98% of the world's population is against wars, we still continue to have them. The reasons could be many, but the fact remains that the reasons will never weigh more than life itself. As natural resources continue to be diminished, we will ...
McDonald’s Happy Meals Just Got A Lot Less Happy
For a long time now we've seen the news about McDonald's food, and it's usually not pretty. We've always seen reports that fast food is tied to obesity, but it seems like there has been a specific attack on McDonald's in the past year.
Most recently, it has been reports on countless blogs about ...
iSnow: A Snowmobile Inspired by Apple
Sometimes I think designers attach the Apple name onto their concept designs just to get attention. I mean, when something has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, yet the designer attaches that logo, it kinda makes you wonder.
That is the case with this snowmobile, but I don't care. I still li ...
Symbolic Sculptures Created From Human Ashes
There is no doubt this is creepy, but it's one of those things that is so creepy it's actually interesting. We've written about art created from a human skeleton before, so I suppose it makes sense now to write about art created from human ashes.
I admit, when my beloved dog Daisy died, I had hi ...
How To: Collect Your Farts to Fuel a Cannon
Manley has a dream, a big dream. Now that he's learned how to collect his own farts and store them, he hopes to use them to fuel a homemade cannon. After all, farts are combustible gas.
Let's back up a moment. First of all, I realize that writing about farts is not very lady-like; however, far ...
Technology: Grow Vegetables Without Sunlight
I know this may sound creepy, but have you ever wondered how we will grow vegetables if there is ever a nuclear holocaust and we are all living in our bunkers?
Even if we live in a super fancy bunker like this, we are still going to have to grow food, right? I mean, we can't live on canned food ...
Gummy Bear Lego: Have Your Lego & Eat It Too!
Is it just me or does it seem like gummy bears are making a comeback? I remember back in the early 90s when gummy bears became super popular. All the cool kids at school ate gummy bears. The red ones were always my favorite.
For many years I didn't see much written about gummy bears, but now i ...
Scissor Art: Could You Do This With A Pair Of Scissors?
We've featured a lot of papercraft on this site. Some of the designs people create with a piece of paper are absolutely mind blowing. However, what if you add a pair of scissors to the mix? If someone handed you a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, what exactly could you create? These two ar ...
Our Dirty Little Secret: We Don’t Shower Every Day!
I don't know if it's like this in every country, but here in the States, admitting you haven't taken a shower is like admitting you've cheated on your wife. People here take their showers very seriously, or so I thought.
I remember reading an article about a year ago that said Matthew McConaughe ...
The Storm Flipper: A Happy Drinking Fountain Design
What a neat little design that will make you smile. We've all heard the saying, "Take that frown and turn it upside down!" It seems the Swedish architecture studio, Vision Division, has done just that.
They have taken the concept of bad weather and turned it upside down, and in the process crea ...
Zelda NES Cartridge: Turned Into A 1TB External Hard Drive!
Zelda is one of those games that I remember the most from the Nintendo NES console game station. That golden cartridge was the coolest one in my collection, and I treated it like it was pure gold. If I am not entirely off course here, I think I sold my Nintendo NES when I saw the Amiga 500 for the ...
Skin Printer: It Heals Wounds Just Like In Fifth Element!
The sci-fi genre wouldn't be the same without the movie Fifth Element. It's such a bizarre yet awesome movie that leaving it out of existence would be nothing less than ludicrous. It's based on so many movies, but also has become the basis for so many other movies. It's an unlikely box office meg ...
DashLink: This iPhone Pimped Harley Is Just Badass!
Pretty much everyone knows that if you don't have a Harley Davidson, you're not a part of the badboy gang. If you drum up in a Kawasaki or a Yamaha, you will have the smiles; however, the rejection is not far off. Harley Davidson is the equivalent to being bad, and I don't think anyone disagrees. ...
