Somewhere along the line Toyota realized that construction workers and middle-aged suburbanites aren’t the only people out there with an interest in trucks. What about nerds? We enjoy driving, and we may have to haul computer rigs and giant millennium falcon replicas around from time-to-time. Plus programming jobs pay decently, so we have some money to burn. And if you ...

Ok, so it’s not tech-related, but it’s one of the most enrapturing images we’ve seen in ages. Prepare to be shocked. — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]

I get it. A connector necklace for men is a much nerdier equivalent of the traditional symbol for males. So where is the socket necklace for women? Available for $27. —Sean Fallon Link [via]

If I had this many blank CDs, I wouldn’t know what to do with them either. The Panda Chair is made from a simple base, and assembled with hundreds of blank CDs. Of course, if you want to make one yourself it’s up to you if they’re blank or just a bunch of Avril Lavigne albums. It looks really cool. ...

Second off, it is a vintage mash-up of two old products, that produces something that should have been done a long time ago. A sewing machine and a record player have very similar ...

Here is another case of birds being tortured by humans in the name of tech. A research team at the University of Oxford is trying to get a better idea of how crows behave in the wild. And what better way to accomplish this than to attach cameras near its ass. The ass camera already discovered that crows use tools, ...

An official press release has confirmed that Bungie has emerged from puberty and is now leaving the Microsoft nest in order to become a man. As the press release puts it, Bungie is set to”embark on a path to become an independent company.” However, like most parent, child relationships, Bungie will keep in contact.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a remote that has convenient features, but I also like a remote that’s compact. Unfortunately, the Pultius Remote from Art Lebedev falls a little short in that category. The remote features 99 individual channel buttons and three additional buttons for adding 100, 200, or 300 to the original number. All in all, the user ...
