Perhaps the greatest use of a remote controlled device in history: a flying penis flew into the middle of a speech from former chess master and Russian political activist, Garry Kasparov. It seems someone took the time to turn an RC helicopter into a flying cock. After the security guard swatted it to the ground, Kasparov says, “I think we ...

Ever wonder why burglars are less likely to break into your home if they see a TV glare off of a window? Me too. Chances are it’s just some lazy couch potato that you could mug for a few hundred bucks, but instead, burglars take the safe approach, waiting for signs of vacancy before breaking in and leaving with a ...

Apparently, putting a faucet in a work bucket is carte blanche to call it a beverage dispenser. However, we’ll let this contraption slide only because it holds six gallons of beer. The Six Gallon Beverage Dispenser costs $35 and is basically just a bucket from The Home Depot with a faucet shoved in it. There’s also labels you can slap ...

The man above is Mike Edison, the former publisher of High Times. What he’s holding is a device that’s known as the ChroniCaster, which is essentially a bong built into a guitar. His hot P-90 pickups are shielded by a special mold that helps keep marijuana resin out. Makes us wanna blast The Outlaws’ classic track “Green Grass and High ...

Recycling bins are out of the question because, as we all know, all trash whether it be recyclable or otherwise all goes to the same place: New Jersey. California College of Arts student Nick Demarco has created a vinyl chair out of plastic bottles and other miscellaneous garbage he found ...

So you have the sick DJ workstation, the 1200s and the CDJs and you even played at the Lambda Chi frat party down the street. Maybe you even have a Pacemaker. Good for you! Now you’ll have to remember that money doesn’t replace sick, raw talent like in the above video. Witness as DJ Ruthless Ramsey scratches on a goddamned ...

Wow, who would have known that designing your own sound card would have been this cheap and easy? A low amount of parts, easy-to-read schematic and no need for drivers make this USB-based sound card a steal. The card is powered via a 16-bit Stereo Digital-to-Analog Converter. I have a subtle understanding of what that actually does, but if you ...

The fine gentlemen over at Dealnews have spotted a Black & Decker Pocket Power Cordless/Rechargeable Power Supply for $10 over at Buy.com. What’s great about this is that these little power supplies can be used for your DIY/hacking projects. I’ll probably pick up two of these for use in future projects. I’m not revealing anything else… Actually, the best is ...

This is the shit. Sorry, but there’s really no other way to describe my excitement for this mod. For under $100, including the cost of the controller, Dave was able to create a full-fledged MIDI controller from a wireless Guitar Hero guitar. Wondering what you can do with it?
