Murdering people with normal straight razors is so passe. How about we mix it up a bit, maybe start killing people with a straight razor made from an old circuit board. This Homemade Circuit Razor was made by a friend of Cory Doctorow from Boing Boing, who decided that killing hookers was so much more interesting when you do it ...

Globus is just one big ball of productivity. Closed, it acts as a piece of spherical art, drawing curious onlookers to scope out the design. When opened, Globus reveals that it holds a pull-out office, complete with a laptop tray and spherical seat. We know that this is only a concept, but we have to say that the ergonomics of ...

Take a trip to Akbuk Bay, Turkey and you might be surprised what you find. Scattered along the shore are cottages which strike flashback images in my head of the sleepless nights I spent devoting my life to saving Princess Peach from the Goombas. Seriously, how awesome would it be to live inside of a 1up mushroom? And were these ...

This conceptual USB Digital Camera pretends to be an analog camera, offering no viewfinder, no LCD display, and only one button, yet with the ability to transfer photos with a USB cable. The purpose is to gain ...

These eating utensil extensions for pens allow you to turn any average ballpoint into dining cutlery, or a weapon, depending on if you’re a cup-half-empty sort of guy. Just imagine. ...

Us hobos nomadic spirits know a little something about the comfort of big ol’ hunks of stone. If I could afford a bed (or a place to live even) I would be a better judge of coziness, I admit. At least these Livingstones being more comfortable than real stones is something most of us can agree on. The plush Livingstone ...

Rather than measuring by inches, this belt is designed to guesstimate your weight. The larger your waist, the higher the weight will show as with the Weight Belt. Using this belt in conjunction with the ego-crushing phone could solve your over-confidence issues in a snap. The problem with this is if you have a really large ass, or have your ...

The whale-shaped Manned Cloud is only in its early concept stages, but the idea is a weirdly cool one. A flying whale hotel? I mean really, who comes up with this stuff?! French designer, Jean-Marie Massaud. That’s who. Mixing the aesthetics of the old time led zeppelins with modern design practices, the Manned Cloud would host up to 40 passengers ...

Designer Amit Zoran has been playing around with a concept that allows guitar players to customize their own unique sound. Using a CAD/CAM process, this conceptual acoustic sound box allows musicians to custom choose their own sound cells, creating a truly unique tone.
