Iconic LEGO sculpture Nathan Sawaya is at it again, and boy does he know his audience. We’ve discussed how Sawaya proved to us the fine line between LEGO art and LEGO play, but he’s just taken it a step further with his newest creation – a five-foot tall LEGO model of the Blackberry Tour 9360. But don’t worry, Sawaya didn’t ...

Seeing as our key demographic is post-menopausal woman, I find this Tampon Chandelier quite fitting. Say buh-bye Aunt Flo! What do you do with the warehouse of tampons you have stored away in your underground shelter? Why, you create of course! Just as the Gummi Bear Chandelier was perfect for recovering gummy addicts, the Tampon Chandelier provides a classy way ...

Those rippling muscles, the sharpened sword, the puff of ginger hair volumized to perfection. No, it’s not Rorschach. It can only mean one thing. Coco is in the hizz-ouse. You must vote for this over at Threadless. NOW! Link [via]

There’s a designer in everybody, just trying to get out. One of the first lessons and designer studying their craft will learn is the very basics of color theory (colors can even alter human emotion and physiology, as we’ve seen). The RGB diagram has become an iconic staple of the design world and for good reason, it’s simplistic beauty is ...

This LEGO Vignette proves that you don’t need much more than a few LEGO bricks and pieces for prove your artistic worth. LEGO master Peter Aoun created this masterfully minimilist LEGO scene which pays homage to Disney/Pixar’s most recent release, “Up,” proving once and for all that Pixar is more than a company offering a wide assortment of epic beards. ...

Designed by Sanghoon Lee, the Warning System uses sound sensors to determine when someone is approaching the corner and manages the ...

As long as no one manages to smuggle in a parachute, this actually seems like a decent idea. We’ve heard of prisons being held on islands, a la Alcatraz, but never did we think that keeping prisoners high would be the answer. It sure would produce some interesting blog posts though. Oh, wait, you mean high as in height? Of ...

First you get the money. Then you get the power. THEN you get the Apple products. Al Pacino might or might not have said those exact lines in the film Scarface. Maybe I used an oh-so slight piece of creative�license. This Scarface Macbook decal turns your laptop into an even cooler, but slightly more suspicious, piece of hardware. No scales ...

Freedom fighting for all Wookiee-kind. It really is a shame that I know how to spell Chewbacca without even thinking, and that I know the home planet of Wookiee’s happens to be Kashyyyk without even so much as opening a new tab in my browser, yet I have to do my research in order to properly spell Che Guevara. Link ...

Remember a few months ago when we posted about the Star Wars Burlesque show which featured a scantily clad Boba Fett and the like? Well, it was hot, so you should probably check it out. But anyway, apparently someone was so enamored with the concept that they had the image of the ample breasted Stormtrooper tattooed on their skin. As ...
