Dominic Wilcox is both a great graphic designer and a cheeky bastard. He’s come up with these realistic-looking rust stickers that go on your car or bicycle. Dominic figures that, because your bike looks like shit, no one is going to steal it. Fair enough. You can grab a set for $8 but remember, no guarantees! Link

In light of the recent release of the latest Indiana Jones flick, Toys R Us is selling an Indiana hat and whip to complete your costume of the most badass archaeologist to ever scour tombs. If worse comes to worst, you could always use the hat and whip to compete in the Iditarod with your team of burly huskies, once ...

While the HOAP-3, Fujitsu’s robot chef, can’t quite crack its own eggs with one-hand like an expert chef, it can make a delicious-looking ham and cheese omelet. It’s by no means a Pee-wee Herman breakfast machine, as you wouldn’t let it cook your breakfast unaided. It’s a nice thought though, having a robot prepare your breakfast while you engage in ...

Ten bucks gets you a phone from Hop-on that works with over 40 carriers, including all the major players. As you can see in the picture, there’s no display. You ...

CrunchGear posted a video of that game Beer Pong for the Wii. It looks incredibly stupid. Link

If you are one of many unfortunate owners of one, you’re probably looking for some application that might be of more use than flailing your arms around during Wii Sports tennis only to have the ball be hit the same way every ...

Shivers me timbers and call me DIY! I just bought a Guitar Hero controller yesterday and now the boys at Giz’ are saying that Guitar Hero 4‘s controller will have additional fret-button-thingies. Sheesh. The case for this new accusation? A GH promo page shows an expanded drum kit and additional frets on the guitar. This could really make modding the ...

“Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me.” said Max. Actually, talk to Scott Cocking over at SpontaneousFire.com, ’cause if you have some strong legs, this DIY tri-cycle might be able to haul that tanker. OK, maybe it can’t haul a tanker full of gasoline ...

We celebrated the 125th birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge last night and boy was it a party. We had some drinks, mingled a bit and eventually watched a guy named Paul St. George bring in a huge Telectroscope.
