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. Danny Choo and his band of video recording nerds set off to host the dance party of the century. Sadly, some camera malfuncions led to the crew not getting as much footage as they wanted. But ...

Late last week we say the iPod Ad Halloween costume, and now an equally wacky bunch of Apple fanatics have put together a fantastic iPhone costume. While it might look like they raided an Apple store display, these 60 pound costumes are hoisted on with PVC pipe and ratchet straps. If you’ve been an ardent supporter of the “Jesus” phone ...

One thing the iPhone was NOT made for is staying where you place it. Try getting that thing to sit still on a slightly angled slippery surface. And none of us want to let a $400 device smash to the floor. Here’s a cool mod to help the problem. Go to your local skate shop (there’s probably one within 20 ...

I wouldn’t want to have to whip out my lightsaber, so I recommend you give me all of your candy before I have to break out the power of the force. Nice line, isn’t it? You might want to keep that line in mind if you plan on using this Darth Vader Trick Or Treat Pail for your candy gathering ...

Who knows when the commies will start spying on us again. If he were still around, Joe McCarthy might recommend every man, woman, and child to own an Urban Combat Umbrella, an Umbrella with an attached target scope. While it’s by no stretch the first umbrella we’ve discussed, it might be the most useful. Sick of people barging into you ...

Surfing gear company Quicksilver has released some info about their design of a concept phone. While this phone probably isn’t supposed to be used while surfing, the Pacman-like two tone design is pretty cool indeed. Though that display looks pretty worrisome. Only half of the screen shows when the phone is closed, and if you shut the phone too hard ...

This year I’ve decided to be a RPG style dwarf for Halloween (mostly because I couldn’t think of a way to be a Tauren or a Death Knight), including a dwarf mask called Motorhead, and a cool looking fake sword. Though I probably should have put more thought into it, like these guys. I don’t know about you, but I ...

Looking for a slightly less masochistic way to take control of your wires than the One Man Tied hook? This Wall Cleat is an innovative design that allows for your loose, unplugged cables to be wrapped around two projected tabs that extend from the outlet. A simple gadget like Wall Cleats means you don’t have to buy an outlet, plus ...

If Evel Knievel had known about something like this Lifebag, who knows how many more brain cells he’d have left. Made for those into extreme sports (and possibly for those little bus riding helmet wearers I use to make fun of in school), the Lifebag is manually deployed, much like a parachute, producing a 150-liter shield in less than three ...

Excuse the gutter speak, but I think prostitutes ought to have a little fun with Halloween too. Being a long time street walker, I just might make it a point of mine to make sure some of my tricks get a special treat this year. These Costumed Condoms are sure to get some laughs. If you’re not a bad little ...
