The 3 Pound Gummy Worm! Yummy!
Most of the people I know have a sweet tooth. We have a custom here in Manila where we often bring something home when we travel, and you guessed it, most people usually bring home sweet goodies from whatever country they went to. Chocolates are the most popular choice, then come the chewy kind an ...
Cities Made With Over 420,000 Match Sticks
Dioramas are fascinating artworks! They are usually replicas of monuments or buildings that we are familiar with. They are painstakingly created by designers to the exact detail of the real structure. I'm sure you can just imagine the time and work that goes into building one.
I had the experi ...
For Geeks That Love The Holidays: DIY Lego Ornaments
I'm so excited right now to write about this. You already know from all my Lego articles how much I love those little colorful bricks; however, to combine Lego and my favorite holiday, oh my goodness!
If you are a geek, if you celebrate Christmas, and if you plan to decorate a Christmas tree, th ...
The Phone That Becomes The Current Weather
While I was attending University, there were a few years when I wanted to be a Meteorologist. I've always been fascinated by weather, especially when Mother Nature becomes a mad scientist, and we see crazy weather patterns.
For example, just this past Friday, it was a mild sunny day in Georgia. ...
The Baked Table: Now You Can Eat Your Fork & Napkin
Here in Atlanta, it's not uncommon to order soup inside of an edible bread bowl in a restaurant. However, before today, I've never seen an entire table wear set created from baked bread!
Andere Monjo, an artist and designer living in Spain, created this set called "Baked Table" for the London De ...
Design Inspiration: The Sideways Coffee Shop
This is an Alice in Wonderland style coffee shop all the way. The pictures below might even make you a little dizzy! A new coffee shop, part of the Despresso chain of coffee shops, recently opened a block away from the New York Public Library at Bryant Park.
The owner, Eugene Kagansky, decided ...
Star Trek Pizza Cutter! Boldly Cut Where No Man Has Cut Before!
Pizza is one of our favorite foods for dinner, and why not? It's yummy, its convenient, and it's a lot of fun to eat while watching your favorite sports channel or movie while lounging around on a Saturday night. We always have pizza when cooking is too much of a hassle, or when everyone is tired. ...
Technology: Band-Aids That Alert Us To Infection
Here we go again. Yep, this is another thing that I will be telling my grandchildren, "When I was little, we had to rip the band-aid off our cut to check to see if it was healing or infected. And it hurt!" At least, that's the way I remember it.
Some really smart and practical scientists at the ...
The Tunnel People: Could You Live Like This?
As many of you know, I work very closely with the homeless community in Atlanta. I became passionate about this work several years ago when I realized that during the months of November and December, especially around the holidays, there are always tons of volunteers and people willing to donate fo ...
So Analog: See Retro Media Storage Come Alive As Toys!
For the first time in a long time, again, I am completely inspired through every atom of my being. The reason for this is none other than the retro cool of old storage media. Now you might think that I have finally cracked, but stay with me for a second. We all know that the cassette, cartridge a ...
Zero Footprint Shirts Made From Leaves
We write a lot on this site about ways we can conserve our natural resources and help the environment. Our beautiful earth is such a precious gift to us all, and sometimes I think we take that for granted.
Even though it benefits everyone when we are environmentally conscious, there are times, l ...
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 ...
