When company One Block Off the Grid needed a way to spice up their Mac performance, they decided to order their own hardware. In such a rush to get the computer up and running and lacking the needed casing, employee Kalvin decided to build the computer right inside of the box the parts were shipped in. Besides the power switch, ...

If Chewbacca had known about this, he would have had no need to visit a cantina. The 36 Shot Glass Bandolier holds 36 bullet-shaped one-ounce shot glasses, each with their own lock caps. I’ve heard of fighting for you right to party, but this is ridiculous. At least this sort of explains how the whole Nazi-fighting squirrel-riding. Get your own ...

The Hawthorne Army Depot, a 600,000 sq. ft. storage facility in western Nevada, has employed a new race of guards to protect the security of their weaponry and nuclear waste. The MDARS (Mobile Detection Assessment Response Systems) robots patrol the outskirts of the military installation with expert precision only a machine can provide. With a top speed of 20 mph, ...

We already know unicorns exist. Where else would they be getting all of that unicorn meat from? And if it’s not unicorn, what the hell have I been eating? But despite their existence, those damn critters are completely elusive. Rarely, if ever, caught on camera and never captured for scientific study. Peter Hickey-Jones, a birdwatcher and Toronto native, captured this ...

Google’s Lunar X competition is still alive and kicking. The mission? Land a robot on the moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Teams must be at least 90% privately funded. The winner wins $30 million. The Aeronautics and Cosmonautics Romanian Association team (ARCA) is hard at work on their ...

There was a time where I thought Moleskine notebooks were the coolest damn thing on the planet. I would carry mine around with me everywhere I went. But then I realized, wait a second, I have nothing to write about in here. I go out, like, once a month. And when I do there is absolutely nothing eventful that happens. ...

This year’s winner of the James Dyson Award (competitors are told to “design something that solves a problem.” Not as easy as it sounds.) could feel comfortable in both a live-saving situation at sea or a high-octane sequence in an action film. The Longreach Buoyancy Deployment System is a lifebuoy-firing bazooka that can launch inflatable life-belts up to 500 feet ...

I’ve always loved to write but I have never been a long-form writer. I never had the patience, nor the creativity to write anything longer than a page or two. In a way, I’ve always been the blogger I am today, despite my best efforts to one-day be a best-selling novelist. While I’m fairly certain that there’s no chance of ...

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of the year again. It seems like only yesterday we were praising the efforts of big-headed men and pixelated women. This year, we predict Halloween is going to be much more culture oriented. Look for lots of Lady Gaga, Jersey Shore and perhaps Steven Slater costumes. For those of us who don’t dress ...

In a few short months, the film Tron: Legacy will hit theaters, reinvigorating a once lost franchise that seemed lost in the folds of gaming history. There’s only one way to survive the world of TRON, and that’s to have the proper gear. The lifespan of a digital light racer seems to be not so good. The Tron Motorcycle Suit ...
