You could be the biggest nerd ever and still have trouble telling someone the time with this watch. I mean just because you still play Doom doesn’t mean you can form sentences in binary code, right? Fine, I’ll admit it. I’ve been too lazy as of late to learn binary. That’s why you deserve this fine Binary Watch from a ...

Get your mind out of the gutter. It’s not that kind of hole. Link (via)

I don’t know why we’re so obsessed with umbrellas but I’m Gene Kelly would be proud. Take this Umbrella Stool. Going to an outdoor concert and skies are overcast? Check SimpleWeather (oh shit! a plug!) and grab your Umbrella stool. Not only will it keep your ass comfortable, it’ll also keep you dry in the event there’s a sudden downpour. ...

� Most people have some sort of junk drawer in their home where they throw all sorts of random shit that has no home anywhere else. Rummaging through a junk drawer is typically a damn good time to kill an hour or so, especially when it’s someone else’s. After all, you never know what the hell you’re going to find ...

� So you want to turn a corner and finally upgrade to an eco-friendly vehicle? If you were to take the words “green” and “environmental” to a literal conclusion, you might end up with something that looks pretty similar to this AstroTurf covered Niva.

While it’s not the work of untooning master Pixeloo (the artist behind the untooned versions of Jessica Rabbit, Homer Simpson, and Super Mario), this untooning attempt, which was an entry to a Worth1000 “Reality Cartoon” Photoshop contest, comes pretty damn close to the master himself. If the producers over at Family Guy were to one-day let Peter Griffin star as ...

As much as we hate to encourage the poser mentality, owning something like the Fender Wallet would totally add to the rocker uniform which you’ve spent so long perfecting. Now that you’ve got your list of essential hardware to name-drop into conversation, you can rock the leather Fender Wallet which is designed to look like a pair of stacked amps, ...

We’re not saying that GameCube was the smoothest gaming console to begin with (or even one of our top 5 choices) but it was certainly nowhere near as irritating as the purposely frustrating Frube. Even the colors chosen for this device are annoying as hell. The Frube gives the GameCube a new parallelogram shape which makes the system almost impossible ...

I seriously doubt we’ll get attacked by aliens anytime soon but in case we are, we’ll be prepared to bluff their assault with these quirky ceramic ray guns from Muddy Mountain Pottery. The Raku Ray Gun series of creations feature classic sci-fi names such as “Van Vogt Defractor” and “Nemo Squidulator.” The median price of the guns you’ll find is ...

Skateboarding isn’t for everyone, though Ryan is pretty decent at it. Take Tougher Than Leather – a Greek-inspired skateboard that is made to order from Greece Is For Lovers. Though it looks beautiful and the strap-in style deck is similar to snowboarding, I can see a lot of ankles getting twisted trying to pull off tricks on this board. They ...
