I’m not going to print designer (and possibly musician?) Nick Cave’s little manifesto on why he created furry penis costumes. That’s between him, god and his altar boy but regardless, some of these designs are pretty unique (read: penis-shaped). As the head of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Cave calls his “Soundsuits” wearable costumes that hide every ...

I love the graphic: “Data flow.” Cute, you know, ’cause it’s a fucking tampon. Get it in 1GB, 8GB or 16GB. If it fucks up, you can probably recover the data but you’ll never recover your pride. Link [via]

Wow. That was, like, really quick Mr. Bezos. Nice work. Amazon decided to make an incredibly smart business decision and today released an iPhone Kindle app that allows you to download books on the go and read them on your iPhone. It’s a much cheaper way to enjoy the Kindle’s unique features on the device you prefer. Oh, and the ...

GameStop, with its icy grip on the retail video game industry, has a new competitor coming up the pipelines. No, Funcoland isn’t making a comeback but rather Best Buy is trying out a trial program that lets customers trade in used video games for store credit.

One of my favorite movies of all time, behind the The Dark Knight, is Bambi. The ending is just so choice. Why not bring the big screen into your living room with this papercraft deer. It’s easy to print out and construct and when you and your friends get wasted, you can shout names at it and crush it with ...

Here’s a creative idea: take an old, radical skateboard deck and turn it into a usable chair. Aside from recycling and bringing new design to the living room, the Skede chair is available with a deck from Control or without a deck. That means you can add your own or Ryan Ash can add his broken NOFX skate deck. No ...

Those shady motherfuckers at Apple decided to mention a Mac Pro update an hour after I caught the original update on the iMac and Mac Mini. The new Mac Pros cost $300 less than before, feature new Intel “Nehalem” Xeon CPUs (read: hella fuckin’ fast) and better graphics cards standard. Some bullshit about DDR3 RAM and that about sums it ...

Want the muscles of Bruce Wayne without the annoying butler or billions of dollars? Exactly. Throw down $78 and pick up this full-zip hoodie from Lot 29 Urban Wear. Batman’s face is screened onto the hood so your face will even be disguised whilst you rob a bank save a bank being robbed. I’d prefer a little more color on ...
