Bastards. The team at NYCResistor have a new laser cutter and they want you to know about it. Check out this tiny, tiny, TINY dinosaur that’s like half the size of a fucking penny. How in the world do you even design things this small? Either way, it’s awesome and I want an entire fleet of robo-dinos to battle my ...

LEGOs are a fascinating toy that have been around for over 30 years. Rarely are we not impressed by some of the creations people make with them. Have you ever wondered where all the magic starts? Gizmodo goes inside LEGO to find out what makes the minifig the most expensive part of any LEGO set. What they find is horrifying. ...

I don’t own an iPod Shuffle and at this point, I should really get one for jogging and riding my bike. I’d get an arm-band for my 30GB 5G iPod but let’s get real and agree that they’re retarded-looking. You could even say they make you look “full retard.”� So with those options out, what’s a guy to do? Try ...

We just can’t get enough of the goodies that keep showing up in the iPhone App Store. The latest rumored application is the iHologram by David O’Reilly. It creates a holographic-like effect on the iPhone by performing real time adjustments to the image based on rotation, similar to the fake beer app. Seems pretty cool, huh? You’ll be disappointed to ...

Now you can get a DD-esque schnoz that goes in your shower and dispenses shower gel. At $18, it’s a great gag gift and should guarantee ...

Brady Clark and Mykle Hansen made this nifty DIY speed vest for bikers that displays a light-up readout of the wearer’s speed. The vest works thanks to an Arduino open source computer, wheel speed sensor, nine-volt battery, and electroluminescent display. Hansen and Clark describe the speed vest as a “bicycle safety device and advocacy tool.” I don’t really see how ...

Just got a tip from an insider at T-Mobile (or is it Google?) that tells me the HTC Dream will feature a keyboard and trackball almost identical to the Sidekick. Does this mean we could see a Sidekick competitor on T-Mobile? It’d be an odd move but the Android-based Dream will most likely be for the geeked out power user. ...

Today’s New York Times reports that many colleges are giving away free iPhones or the iPod Touch to their students. Apple hopes to hook new customers with the program and the schools involved hope to improve communications, test educational applications, and allow online research in class. Many professors are concerned that the devices will be a distraction.

‘Cloud’ is an amazing kinetic scultpure that was designed for Bristish Airways’ new Terminal Five at Heathrow Airport by the art and design collective Troika. ‘Cloud’ uses 4,638 flip dots that are individually controlled by a computer to create amazing animations on the surface of the sculpture. Flip dots were originally used back in the ’70s and ’80s to make ...
