We love clocks. Homer Simpson loves Duff Beer. Clearly, this is a match made in Heaven Springfield. Hang up this relatively cheap ($21) Simpsons wall clock and watch as Homer’s eyes follow the bottle of Duff beer floating on the end of the second hand. I’m sure the novelty won’t wear off anytime soon, but always remember: Private Eyes. They’re ...

I have a soft spot in my heart for SEGA’s 16-bit Genesis console. I remember playing hours of Vectorman and Cosmic Spacehead, sitting in front of the television set until my eyes begged for a rest.

Here’s a nice little mod to start off your snowy morning. Found in the MAKE Flickr pool, Flickr user Shoxcorp snuck a full 3.5-inch hard drive inside a fine-looking moleskine notebook. Who would ever think that your private data is inside a journal? Notebooks? Private? You be the judge. Link

Next week kicks off a new month and with a new month comes a new contest! Eat your vegetables and read your links and you’ll grow up to be healthy. Possibly. Probably not. Video of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates playing “The Dating Game” New stuff over at Loveislame.com Check out this new train from NJ Transit He’s a jukebox ...

That’s it. I’m done posting. Know why? I have to go and try this baby out. Steve Jobs doesn’t have shit on the Robo Urinal. It can hold your dick while you take a leak, how cool is that? Let’s see the iPhone do that. An app just isn’t going to recreate the experience of a metal hand slowly reaching ...

Buried inside the code is a snippet on the oft-rumored GDrive. In case you haven’t heard, GDrive is Google’s way of having you back up all your data to ...
