I thought I was a Dark Knight fan. I have the fly joker kicks, the sweet action figures to play with and I even have bat wings tattooed in place of my eyebrows so people know I’m a real fan. But no, that wasn’t good enough. Some other fan boy had to out shine me and now, the tattoos bring ...

The company that could turn your iPod or laptop any color is back and offering the iPhone 3G in exciting new colors. No longer are you limited to a black or white iPhone 3G purchase. Now you can plunk down $150 extra and get a wacky neon green paint job. It’s similar to T-Mobile’s skinning service except not affordable in ...

The classic story of “The Tortoise and the Hare” comes to life on this clock by Ignacio Pilotto. The “race” hand is for the hours and spins around slowest of them all.

Not every belt is built for hard liquor. Some are built for hops lovers others for gay pirates, but man oh man, I could’ve used this in high school. As for college, I slept next to a mini-fridge, no $18 beer belt needed. This belt reminds me of my senior year in high school. The chess team had just won ...

Peter Callesen’s website seems to be the holy grail of papercraft. I’ve never heard of him before but his works are absolutely astonishing. I’m particularly fond of this miniature castle Callesen made out of paper. It’s one of the most intricate works of papercraft I’ve seen and it looks very medieval. Be sure to visit his site for the full ...

With all the DIY arcades out there like the Powerbook arcade or the Metroid themed MAME cabinet, you’d be crazy not to take a crack at building your own. Now if you just so happen to be rich, you won’t mind living by the motto, “can’t someone else do it?” Yes, someone else can do it and that someone is ...
