Ever wished your home could be as organized as your computer desktop? Well, not me, my desktop is an utter mess. But those of you who like the simple organization that your desktop offers, check out this project that brought the desktop alive.

Awesome Party Guy Vid!” YouTube Costume is very clearly homemade, but isn’t a half-bad copy of the video stats section of YouTube. Though ...

What looks to be CD armor, these guys have put together some gear out of recycled compact discs (might spark flames if you sit too fast on the CD chair). I strongly suggest not wearing this out in public unless you want ...

Ever wondered what would happen if a Stormtrooper were to land in downtown Shibuya? Well, apparently it leads to an all-out Stormtrooper dance party.
