As far as tiling goes, this has got to be the most ostentatious floor paneling we’ve come across. The Standard Grill Hotel in New York has a uniquely tiled floor. The floor is tiled with thousands of shiny pennies. Real, authentic, actual pennies. You might miss it if you don’t look close, but I guess it’s the small things which ...

I knew Optimus could transform into some groovy vehicles and even become a peripheral or cool tool every once in a while, but I had no idea that he was in the home entertainment biz as well. The Optimus Prime USB Speaker Set is a three-pound faux Transformer robotic head, with a helme which folds out to be a pair ...

You can’t get much more authentic than this. These Money Bag Wallets are made of authentic old-timey vintage money bags. The same type of bag you can see thieves swipe from the back of an armored vehicle in those brand new “moving pictures” I’ve been hearing so much about. The product page warns that some of the bags do show ...

Despite some not-so flattering reviews, Transformers mania is sweeping the country this week with the release of Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Love him or hate him (you’ll be able to guess which side of the spectrum I’m on by the end of this post), Bono has some slick style. U2 launched their 360 tour last night in Barcelona and Bono appeared in a jacket affixed with fricken’ laser beams attached while performing the song “Ultra Violet (Light My Way).” Now, I ...

I understand why people are up in arms about Earth’s trees being demolished. I’m pretty sure we need them for some reason, other than the fact that they look pretty. The thing that drives me nuts is that people bitch and moan, but don’t do a damn thing about it. These “Remember… These Come From Trees” Stickers allow you to ...

Why venture out to the movie theater if you can bring the theater right into the comfort of your own home. Ohio man and all-around American hero Randy Murray took $80,000 and spent 8 months transforming his basement into a complete movie theater. To get the experience just right, Murray included a full-concession display, a claw machine, an arcade game, ...

The Sony Walkman turns 30 today. Christ, the thing has got half a decade on me. When I received my first Walkman as a gift, it was accompanied by Green Day’s Insomniac album. You can bet your ass that thing heard its fair share of Ace of Base and Aqua by the time it had run its course. I remember ...

Leonard Nimoy will be honored to discover that all of his promotion of living long and prospering has paid off. Forget the reams of fans and the flocks of trekkies. Spock can now find comfort in the fact that he has been immortalized as a USB flash drive which more closely resembles an Asian teen dressed in a Spock outfit. ...
