Think that $130 NPX-9000 Firefox tablet or the OLPC $75 touch screen laptop are as cheap as it gets? Think again. The brains at MIT are sure of themselves that they can create a computer for a mere $12.� With a price tag like that, it’d only take a few hours of panhandling outside of a McDonalds to accumulate the ...

You’ve played Super Mario Bros. more times than you can shake a stick at most likely. Now you want to show off your nostalgic pride and you need to do it appropriately. Luckily, there’s Cassie’s handmade scarf. It’s a scarf with level 1-1 from SMB. Yes. The entire level. Exactly what you were looking for, except it’s not for sale. ...

Centipedes are fucking gross. They squirm around on the floor and scare the shit out of chicks. I’d say a centipede is good for nothing except shitty ’80s video games but I’d be wrong. Seems there is a freaky centipede-inspired lamp you can own for $2600. I can’t tell how big the actual lamp is because the photo has nothing ...

It’s been a few weeks since we attended the Last HOPE Conference but it’s still fresh in our minds.

I bet you’re wondering why Geordi LaForge was always so glum. If you’ve ever gotten a scratch on your cornea, you’d know how painful it can be. Thankfully, researchers at Stanford University have developed a new artificial cornea. I’m not talking about eyeball lamps either, these are real corneas for real eyeballs. Animal studies incorporating the cornea are showing promise, ...

We’ve seen a lot of neat stuff made with the Arduino processor, like that Mad Hatter top hat or the gigantic keyboard. With the infinite possibilities the Arduino offers, where are all the games made for this development platform? Enter the ArduGame, a hand held device that runs a small game that has yet to be named. Using an OLED ...

Using that 1989 GT Mach One with a rusty chain isn’t going to get you any ladies. I think it’s time you upgraded your ride to a simple road bike. It doesn’t matter what it looks like, because once you get one for dirt cheap, you’re going to re-do it at Geekhouse. For a fee, the company will use a ...

It may seem like we’re acid heads with our tribute to Albert Hofmann but the truth of the matter is: we don’t love LSD, we merely enjoy taking it. It’s not the woman of your dreams you yearn so longingly for, but rather a short fling after karaoke night at Chauncy’s Pub. Yea, that’s exactly how LSD is. That’s also ...

Here’s a great concept that would do wonders for those working in an office. This pen cap utensil set includes a plastic knife, fork and spoon, all of which are biodegradable. It’s called Din-Ink and was designed to “respect the environment.” Perfect for that old salad sitting in the office mini-fridge. Just grab two pens, slap on the knife and ...

Yup. You read correctly. You, sirs, are staring at a brand-spankin’ new Xbox 360 from Taiwan. The catch? It’s an extremely limited edition The Dark Knight Xbox 360.
