DIYs & Mods

Ya know, Transformers don’t just spring into action for the hell of it. There is a rhyme and reason behind electronics magically becoming animated. And that rhyme and reason is the All Spark, a glyph-covered cube capable of instilling life in inanimate objects. Flickr user givintats took the concept of the All Spark and ran with it for his All ...

If you’re more into super villains then robotic sidekicks, you might prefer the Jabba the Snowhutt over the R2-D2 Snowdroid from earlier this week. Just make sure your My Little Pony in Carbonite is far beyond reach. I wouldn’t put it past the Snowhutt to bounty that thing off to the highest bidder.

Adding to the awesomeness of his 2008 LEGO computer, Luke Anderson created this DIY project which helps you create your very own internet router built from LEGO bricks. Based around the Linksys WRT54GL router model, the LEGO Router works just like its Linksys counterpart except for its brick-tastic style. Basically Anderson took the innards of a perfectly usable Linksys router ...

If your the kind of man that works with his hands, you might want to make sure everyone knows that the creations that come from your hands are all yours.

If you asked your fish to list its hobbies, the chances of gaming appearing on that list might be a stretch. The most gaming your fish has ever done is swimming real quick through the bubble blaster, maybe even being lucky enough to watch you slave away at Zelda for hours on end. If I was a fish, I might ...

Since I haven’t been able to save up just yet for any super-comfy furniture, I always have to contort my body into the weirdest positions in order to both be comfortable and see the screen while I play my PS3. Someone walking in on me would think I was performing some sort of kinky solo Kama Sutra. This awesome PS3 ...

You know what they say: home is where the hearth is. Us WoW addicts take the game pretty seriously. Sometimes to the point that the border between fiction and reality starts to blur. For instance, when I’m forced to shop in the women’s clothing section with my girlfriend, I’ve actually tried to hearth my way home. Anything to get out ...

Merging two of the things I’m most thankful for during this holiday season; music and lasers. We�re so glad that [Jared] spent the time to produce such a fine looking body for the instrument. The strings that would traditionally produce the sound on a harp have been replaced with laser diodes shining at Cadmium Sulfide photo resistors. When a beam ...
