Come winter, I will not wear a standard set of gloves. I am a texting machine and I need my fingers ready to pound on that “S” key all day long. So I wear cut off gloves. It sucks but it will have to do. Women? They’re lucky. They can wear DOTS gloves. At $13 to $18 a pair, they’re ...

Alarm Clock That Reminds Me Of My Ex
This is exactly what I need: an alarm clock that throws a tantrum, immediately awakening me from any dream I’m having, no matter how provocative. It’s the kind of clock that’d give any elderly person sleeping beside it a heart attack. This isn’t that bullshit Da Vinci Alarm clock, either. It actually tells time. Five minutes before the alarm goes ...

Take a look at the image above. Is it a photograph or is it a painting? It’s actually an oil painting influenced by the aesthetic of black and white photography created by Adam Stennett. I’ve got no idea how he makes these images look so life-like, especially the water running down this lady’s crack. Hubba hubba. All I know is: ...

This computer sure is tiny. Fit-PC Slim is the ultimate mini-rig for anyone who isn’t satisfied with USB drives as a means of transporting data. It’s dimensions are 110 x 100 x 30mm and it packs a mean 500MHz AMD Geode LX800 processor, Ethernet jack, VGA output, WiFi, and a 2.5-inch hard drive option for taking data on the go. ...

Designer Marc Owens came up with a machine that prints out little sheets of paper with a date-stamp and time-stamp. Write in your own message, slap it on a street sign and boom: instant tweet. It’s like Twitter for people without friends. Something like that. Link

Love making your life a living hell? Gotcha. This is the alarm clock for you then. The Da Vinci Alarm Clock will demand you stay awake for three hours at a time and then rest for thirty minutes. Why the odd time? Well apparently, according to lore, Leonardo himself followed this rigorous schedule. So essentially, buy the clock, become a ...

I guess enough money can make anyone talk. Ferrari custom-built this four-door 456 Venice Station Wagon for the Sultanate of Brunei. I guess oil-rich sultans need a place for their kids and soccer equipment too. It’s just so fucking ugly! Ah! I can’t look at it. If you must, there are more pictures after the jump. You’ve been warned.

This setup, dubbed “Mauritian Sunset ” by UK-based artist Sandy Smith, is made up of a ton of old, obsolete computers and monitors. Together they create a wall-sized installation that produces beautiful colors that resemble a “sunset” of some kind. While I don’t see the whole sunset thing, I think it’d make as an awesome lighting setup for a party ...

Maybe I have issues but I get really excited over beautifully-designed clocks. Maybe it’s the fact that time is so precious, it must be treated with great artistic respect. Maybe I just took too much X in my teens. Who knows. One thing is for sure: The Rim Clock from Jansen Lye will look beautiful in any room. The pointed ...
