Technologizer’s Harry McCracken was brave enough to stop by his local Circuit City in California to see what all the fuss was about regarding the company’s liquidation process. Inside, he found mediocre deals on mediocre equipment. No surprise there. Harry speculated that as the shelves become more bare, the discounts will increase. We agree. Still, I think it’s worth checking ...

Designed by one Katie Sokoler, these giant thought bubbles were pasted all around Brooklyn, NY. People walk by, stop to look and next thing you know, a fantastic photo opportunity has presented itself. From some of the pictures, it looks like this was done mostly around Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick areas. If you happen to spot one of these creations, ...

Oh gosh. I thought he’d given up on this with the economy and all. Guess not. He’s still working on that Internet tablet prototype that he came up with last summer. Now he has a new model called “Revision B” that is going to cost $299 or more. It’s ugly, it runs Ubuntu and weighs three fucking pounds. At this ...

Guitar collectors take note: you do not want to pass this opportunity up. Gibson will be creating a limited run of 500 replicas of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. We’re talking identical wiring, identical hardware, identical tuning pegs, identical bridge – everything. This is as real as it gets. At $8,500, it’s relatively expensive but will appreciate in value over ...

MSNBC is reporting that Circuit City is done. Reports are saying that over 35,000 people will be out of a job by the time the entire company is liquidated. There’s not really any more information other than that and I’m not seeing this on other major news sites. Stay tuned if there’s mind-blowing information to be had. Otherwise, you heard ...

The cat is back! Check out this wacky bed that’s shaped just like a cheeseburger. It was obviously created by some Internet-loving hipsters who had enough time and skill to craft such a bed. I mean look at the cheese. It’s a blanket! In my opinion, the best part of this bed is the top bun, which looks all too ...

If you haven’t heard of Peek, it’s a small, thin device with a QWERTY keypad that only does email. Yup. It just emails and uses the T-Mobile network to send and retrieve messages. You pay $20 a month and you get unlimited email service. Not the best deal. However, today only, Peek is offering a $300 one-time deal where you ...

Nothing like a little Vader to start your Friday off. This particular gas mask mod is part of The Vader Project, a collective that designs crazy-ass helmets that resemble Darth Vader. The Vader Project is curated by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys. Kelemer and Marks gathered close to 100 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist ...

I like gummi bears. I like ’em a lot. Good thing artist and designer YaYa Chou likes gummi bears, too. She makes a slew of gummi bear goodies like this chandelier by linking them together with monofilament wire. The end product is a kick ass light source that’s good enough to eat. Other gummi bear works of YaYa Chou include ...

Look here, Batman. I know you’ve got the girl, you’ve got the money and you’ve got the ride. Great. You can’t park here. This is a restricted area. I’m going to have to write you a ticket. No, I don’t care that Roger from RubyRed designs made a t-shirt with you on it recreating this very moment. Pay up. You ...
