Some books have a way of pulling you in, grabbing your attention and never letting go. Apparently mini-people have a harder time resisting the urge to be physically sucked in to the book. The Help! Bookmark is a fun bookmark design which simulates the demise of the world’s tiniest man, stuck between the pages and begging for his way out. ...

Thomas Kinkade might be a little too grandma-ish for you, but I thought this mug was pretty neat, despite the hokey winter scene design. When the mug is filled with warm liquid, such as urine, the windows of the home illuminate. My Grandma is extremely aroused. Hot cocoa has that effect on her. Link [via]

We thought that the wristwatch piercing was pretty damn intense, but anything implanted completely under your skin has got to win in the extreme category. The Subdermal Implant Watch Tattoo, also called an “electric tattoo” is a special LED screen which is implanted under your skin. Powered by your own kinetic energy, the electric tattoo watch illuminates when you turn ...

It’s not everyday you see a mustached Hello Kitty figure, but something about the way the stars have aligned at this moment has set the mood for the totally unneeded, but gratefully accepted, Hello Kitty Super Mario Bros. papercraft dolls. Apparently a Hello Kitty – Star Wars mash-up wasn’t quite enough. These Mario and Luigi kitties feature removable hats and ...

Designer friend of Ive, Paul Smith, received his gigantic iPod Nano from Ive and Ive’s Apple co-worker Jody. In reaction to the gift, Smith said “as the ...

Being super doesn’t make you immortal. The superheroes from our childhood are starting to look a little older than we’d like to admit. Poor Superman has lowered himself into using a walker (hopefully not made of Kryptonite). Catwoman is fast asleep in her rocking recliner. The Hulk has withered into a hulking couch potato. Times they are a-changing. The elderly ...

I don’t care how much of an Apple fanboy you are. Mac or not, this notebook is the shiz. This Asus Transformers G60 gaming notebook was given away as a promotion between Asus and Paramount, in a contest awarding one lucky fan for pre-registering to view Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with Odeon cinemas.

This is actually a really decent playlist. So, this is not an “official” list or anything. Which I guess makes it “unofficial.” But the extensive detail of the list, including playable musicians, leads me to believe that the detailed track list for Guitar Hero 5 will look something like the following:

These Moscow-made ornaments are a true commendation for the power of steampunk and what exactly the style can do to a boring setting in need of a fresh start. These pieces of Steampunk Tableware, mostly salt and pepper shaker holders, lamps and an ashtray or two, would be the centerpiece of almost any situation.
