Gearfuse Technology, Science, Culture & More

Anybody who has followed Gearfuse long enough knows that there are really no limits to the artistry that can go into LEGO work. In fact, there are people who even make a career out of it. But Dave and John Xandegar simply wanted to create a power tool capable of fulfilling the geeky carpenter. The LEGO Circular Saw is probably ...

What’d you think? Those brick blocks just appeared out of thin air? I’m sure he wouldn’t be too happy if I went around clogging all of his clients’ toilets. Seriously, Mr. Brick-Layer Man. Just hook me up with some Taco Bell and revenge can be yours. He’s really been asking for it. Link

While I find it nearly impossible to feign surprise (I mean, come on, this is the internet we’re talking about) I can’t say I knew even half of these stats pulled together on this amazingly infographic. For one, the average age a child first sees porn on the net is 11? What the hell? Where are your parents? Whatever happened ...

This is why I love YouTube. All hand-farting videos aside. As far as I know this is the only video documenting a fan’s reaction as it happened. If you didn’t already know, Armando Galarraga of the Detriot Tigers was screwed out of a perfect game thanks to a shoddy call by umpire Jim Joyce with two outs in the ninth ...

If I was Ken Griffey Jr., I’d be furious. You have to throw a promotional day this awesome the day after I announce my retirement? Why am I always over-shadowed? Why couldn’t we have Cheezburger Day just a week earlier? Hell, even a day earlier would have done just fine. Spectators attending tonight’s game will receive a free “Happy Cat ...

There’s more genius to this prank then meets the eye. A group of students at Minnesota’s Carleton College decided that the school’s very own Goodsell Observatory was due for a face lift.

Depending on who you want to impress, this could also be a good way ...

Akihabara is the place to be for us geeks. Travel through the city streets and your bound to come across one of these magnificent oddities. Case in point? This amazingly awesome claw machine filled with Famicon cartridges. Play for �100 (around $1.10) a pop. Sure, you could probably find most of these in a bargain bin at the store next ...

I haven’t seen Ghostbusters since I was about 5, but that doesn’t stop me from spouting out a “WANT!” when I set my eyes on this awesome Ghostbusters Proton Pack Backpack. As a connoisseur of all things paranormal, even if I’m not a huge fan of the Ghostbusters movies I’ve gotta show respect for the iconic pieces of 80s culture ...

This actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Oh, and AOL email users, no offense, are definitly the bottom of the barrel when it comes to technological know-how. Typically, these are people who used and might still use the AOL browser. Which should tell you enough. Me? I use both a custom domain and Gmail, so ...
