Spotted at BKLYN Designs 2009, this Tennis Ball Chair (oddly not the first piece of tennis ball furniture we’ve seen) would fit awesome into the decor of a sports bar or bachelor pad. Sure, not the manliest sport ever, but a chair made out of footballs would hardly be comfortable. Link

I can understand poverty. I’m a two-bit blogger who lives in public housing. But what I can’t understand is why a woman with so many children that she apparently “didn’t know what to do” with all of them, would live in a damn shoe. Couldn’t she find something that was a little less likely to cause her children to get ...

Atomically, DNA and its components are about as tiny as we can get before we enter the realm of “I don’t know what the hell I’m looking at here.” So you can imagine how “nano” we’re talking here when we mention a nano-sized box, made of DNA, which can only be opened by a specific DNA strain. Now THAT’S security. ...

Ok, so 3D Realms is pretty much dead. R.I.P. We can only assume that the long-rumored and partially-developed Duke Nukem Forever died with it. I’m not quite sure if anyone actually knew how far along the game was in its development. But if these renderings are any sort of clue, the game would have kicked ass. Former 3D Realms Art ...

No, not the nose candy, you deviant. Rather than seem like we’re incredibly biased when it comes to soda, check out these summer-inspired cans from Coca-Cola. Featuring summer activities like a BBQ, surfing and fireworks, you’ll be sure to stay cool with a can of Coke. OK, now give us $5000 for saying that please or some free soda. C’mon, ...

I love the idea of creating a chaotic assembly line of power on a plain white wall. The “Electronic Chaos” vinyl wall stickers are a gorgeous addition for the wall behind the gadgets. Designed by Julia Wolf and created by Diz Decor, “Electronic Chaos” illustrates the connection of energy between all of your electronics. More chaos after the leap.

As much as I would hate to share a hobby with my grandmother, this urban knitting graffiti project, Knitta Please, is almost cool enough for me to take up knitting. I said almost cool enough. A whole tree covered with a surface which resembles that scarf your aunt made you that one year. Now that’s taking crafting to a whole ...

In other words, this is a rock made for the kitchen. Embrace your instinctive caveman nature and just bash and grind the living hell out of your food. It might not be as rugged as just grabbing a big rock from the wild, but it’s surely more manly than using a porcelain mortar and pestle. For $43 you could do ...

Any avid WoW players living near Boston/Cambridge should swing by MIT and check out the World of Warcraft Pod. It’s a small shack, designed similarly to one you’d find in a game and designed with serious MMORPGers in mind. Inside is a toilet, seat, computer, water and food. But that’s not all: The WOW Pod is an immersive architectural solution ...

Any boy looking to relive his days of playing with model train sets will be excited to know there’s now an option for us working adults. This working train set is set inside an elegant briefcase, ensuring portability and anonymity no matter the location. Little figures adorn the landscape as the train keeps a’ rollin’, all night long. The only ...
