Mr. Baxter upstairs is very upset with you. He’s well aware that you and your “crew” have been taking extra-long lunches so you can squeeze in matches of Guitar Hero in the break room. Yes, with every missed chord in YYZ, Mr. Baxter grows tired of your game and would really love it if you got back to your desk ...

Bass guitar is a wonderful thing. I’ve been playing since I was about 8-years-old and truly love it. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am to own a bass guitar though, so if you’ve got $5.00, a toolkit, a shoebox and a piece of wood, you’re set for a weekend of jamming out. According to this Instructables article, you ...

Waking up sucks. As much as you don’t want to admit it, every time you hear the alarm clock ring in the morning you cringe. Your body ceases to move and you unhappily stretch your arm out so you can hit the almighty snooze button. Day after day you’ll be subjected to this torture unless you happen to fashion a ...

I really have to give it to designer Toby McInnes for his “Bedu” concept emergency kit. It comes in a beautiful orange canister that resembles a propane tank. According to product renderings, the kit can apparently hold enough shit to provide shelter for the entire starting lineup of the New York Giants. I spy, with my eye, a tent, stove, ...

Seems the brains up in Massachusetts have done it again. MIT has taken an ordinary household object and transformed it into the coolest experimental toy on the planet. Case in point are Quickies, which are essentially Post-It Notes that feed the written information on them back to a computer. The computer then interprets the text or image drawn on the ...

Try singing the title of this post to the tune of Styx’s “Come Sail Away” and I think you’ll find yourself mildly amused. Regardless, it seems for some reason, a random Japanese manufacturer feels that putting a piece of string around a ZipLock bag constitutes use as a waterproof case for your PSP. Would you buy this? Would you seriously ...

About a year ago, Rick Rolling someone was the coolest fucking thing on the Internet. I mean you were seriously the man if you fooled one of your friends who actually knew what the hell Rick Rolling was all about. Now that the meme-of-all-memes is passe, why not change the game up and literally make a Rick Astley Roll? I’m ...

Forest fires are morbid scenes. Sure, there are all of those precious woodlands which are destroyed, but more important, our homes and families are at risk. Enter the forest fire prevention robot, designed by Jordan Guelde. Smokey The Bear (or even OLE, the fire fighting beetle bot) ain’t got nothing on this tough mofo. Using its vast array of hubless ...

Jim Beam me up, Scotty! Please excuse the horrible pun, but how many chances might I have to say that?� If you like mixing your Star Trek watching with a touch of the old nightcap, the Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener is the only proper way for a trekkie to pop open a brew. This silvery doodad is a great ...

Those clumsy scales your drug dealer uses to measure out your share of the cocaine is not as easy to use as it appears. It’s years of drug dealing experience that have led to his expert use. If you feel the need to get your local drug dealer something they will actually use, and not snort away, but can’t afford ...
