I’ve fooled around with most of the major operating systems and Ubuntu is easily the most adaptive. It’s just made for users to fuck around with. So projects like this are possible, if not encouraged. This Ubuntu wizard used a script to make the computer open and close the CD drive over and over again. But for what reason, you ...

Alright, that’s IT! I could live with the destruction of all hope for intelligent life caused by the Hello Kitty Laptop, and I could deal with them ruining my work place with the Hello Kitty Water Cooler, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fucks with the sanctity of my Rubik’s Cube… unless it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty much everything you would ...

Designer Angela Moramarco created this AnatoWii project, demonstrating what the anatomy of the Wii console might look like if it had internal organs, rather than hardware. Consoles, in their own way, can become living, breathing members of our everyday life. Why shouldn’t they have their own anatomical charts? If we had to guess what organ composed the Wii, we would ...

None of this photo-trickery or CGI bullshit. This awesome Bumblebee costume is 100% the real deal. Watch for yourself, about halfway through the video, the costumed dude squats down and morphs into a fricken Chevy Camaro lookalike. I’m so finding a way to get a hold of this ensemble by Halloween.

Remember how your parents were always trying to softly “suggest” that you get a haircut and “your own damn place.” I’m not an psychologist, but I think what they were really trying to suggest is that they wanted to see some independence emerge from your man-child mentality. So, you’ve finally moved out, but moved right in with a woman who ...

One of my favorite iPhone app developers, Smule, creators of Leaf Trombone and Ocarina, have released their newest app, I Am T-Pain. At first glance, this app might seem like a shameless plug for the T man and his destruction of music, but further research shows that this app seems like a whole lot of fun. Using the actual Auto-Tune ...

It’s just like in the movies! So simple, yet so effective. Have you recently been exploded or killed by a Decepticon? You, too, might be in need of CPR. Exactly zero chest compressions required. Link [via]

Designer Ramm ND created these awesome Lingerie Cans. If you happen to be double fisting this brew, place the two cans together like so, sit back and admire the view. Now those are some nice cans. Link

What this USB Contruction Site is really lacking is a bunch of talking construction workers, gawking at your girlfriend’s ass and making fun of your skinny legs. “Heyyy, sweet cheeks, you want some of this? How ’bout a little of this? Yeaaaaa.” The Construction Site features light up cones, a white or yellow sign and a single construction worker, depending ...

Seagate, in partnership with MusicSkin, has released 161 fitted skins for their FreeAgent Go external hard drives. Seagate is on a mission. Launching the project “Pimp My Drive,” users can now add a dose of personality to their oh-so-impersonal hard drives, which already happen to be all colorful-like anyway. $20 earns you your very own skin selection. Does John Lennon ...
