Pope Benedict XVI is hip. He’s with it. He knows that blogging is becoming a religion, or perhaps a cult, all its own. In fact, he’s so digitally connected that he recently endorsed, no no, ENCOURAGED the use of blogging by the clergy for spreading the word of God. That should attract all of those damn Gen Y whipper-snappers. I’ve ...

Ahh, Coke. Other than beer, probably the prototypical American beverage of choice. Why create a phone celebrating the iconic soda? Well, why the hell not. Even if you prefer Pepsi you can’t deny the dramatic impact that Coke as a brand has had on the world culture. So, why not, indeed? Why not mash together the American love of caffeinated ...

As a leading voice for the American Dental Association, us here at Gearfuse are ardent supporters of using these Pre-Chewed Pencils, rather than gnawing on a #2 of your own. We dentist supporters are tired of hearing about our doctors complain about finding wood chips in between their patients teeth. Enough is enough, we say! Each pre-gnawed utensil sells for ...

Even if these shoes didn’t tweet, they’d be awesome just for the fact that they brand the image of the Twitter bird. I love that little guy. But factor in that these Rambler shoes actually send a wireless signal via Bluetooth, listing data about your walking speed and pressure, through your mobile phone and straight to your Twitter feed, and ...

Something tells me the EyePod is the black sheep of the family. Created by the self-appointed “Dr Grymm,” the EyePod is actually a mod of an iPod Nano, so believe it or not, buried somewhere deep in that monstrosity, is a functioning portable media device. A custom mod of an Apple iPod Nano 1st Gen. The design is inspired by ...

No… words. Must breathe. Needs… oxygen. So… beautiful. We really, really, really love our steampunk gear, and we really, really, really love our Game Boy, so any creation combining the two is bound to lead to some heavy breathing and perhaps a change of pants. Thretris created this gorgeous custom Steampunk Game Boy. He also replaced the standard red LED ...

While I might be a fan of eating all things cute and fuzzy, it’s when the name of science becomes involved that the line is crossed. I just can’t stomach the fact (at least I can’t stomach the fact as well as I can stomach their meat) that cute little bunny rabbits are wasting away in a lab, victims of ...

Whoever thought attaching a DeLorean to a set of monster truck wheels was a good idea deserves some sort of medal. Mystified and thrilled were my emotions when I first set eyes on this beautifully absurd creation. Does the addition of the heavy wheels mean we’re going to need more than 1.21 gigawatts? Great scott. Link [via]

Ahh, recycling. The ambitious man’s answer to hoarding. It might be hard for you to throw anything anyway, and that’s fine, as long as you can find some sort of meaningful use. Odds are that you’re never going to play your Game Boy Advance more than once or twice a decade for the rest of your life, so it’s time ...

At first glance, this t-shirt seems pretty unspectacular, if not at least well designed. But stand in front of a webcam running T-post’s special web app, and a virtual holographic hand challenges you to a augmented reality game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Believe it or not, the t-shirt itself is actually a wearable magazine, with an article printed on the inside of ...
