Yesterday, around 9:50am, I received a text message on my iPhone 3G. I opened it up and lo and behold, what do I see? A fish, a soccer ball and a traffic light. What the fuck could this be? After asking my friend how he sent images like that via SMS, he soon explained to me that these were Emoji, ...

Palm and other smartphone manufacturers are super-fucked right now. “Why?” you ask? It’s quite simple, really. See, Steve Jobs and his crew at Apple designed and invented multi-touch gesturing on a device. Don’t believe me? Might want to check out United States Patent Number 7,479,949, which states: “Touch screen device, method, and graphical user interface for determining commands by applying ...

Headcrabs, crowbars and G Men, oh my! This is a pretty nifty diorama made entirely out of LEGOs. It features the cast of Valve’s ultra-popular Half-Life 2. I’m really enjoying the blood on the wall and I’m really curious as to who designed that headcrab sucking on some face towards the bottom. Link

Have $8 sitting in your wallet? What good is it going to do there? Do yourself a favor and spend your hard-earned cash on these Shark Fin Ice Trays. They help you create fin-shaped cubes of ice that you can later put into your mixed drinks. Guests at your Hawaii-themed party will go apeshit and absolute bananas when they see ...

I knew a kid named John Kirby growing up in grade school who was both a redheaded outcast and a model train enthusiast. John was really into those fucking trains. He’d build sets, wear a conductor hat and all kinds of fucked up shit. He’s the kind of guy who’d drop $7.49 a piece on these miniature arcade machines from ...

Guess which country gets cool colors slapped on a PSP while America gets the shaft? If you guessed France, you’re close, but no frog legs for you. Japan will see the Sony PSP 3000 released in bright blue, red, yellow and green, ensuring that girls go ga-ga for it as if it were the latest fashion accessory. The rainbow-hued consoles ...

I’m pretty sure LEGO builder Dave Shaddix photoshopped these LEGO box covers but he did come up with a sweet recreation of Gilligan’s Island. As you can see, Gilligan is present, the Skipper too (well, somewhere!). I particularly like the scene where Gilligan is robbed by a monkey. Check it after the jump.

I found this awesome laser-etched Macbook Pro Powerbook G4 on Tumblr. Can anyone identify whose it is or what that character is on the front? Very intense. Link

Shitty title, but whatever. This is an impressive work of art from artist Sam Spenser. He calls his creation “Bloom” and I think it’s quite an appropriate title for a guy who shoved what looks like 50 umbrellas into a tree. It’s kind of beautiful but also a little on the weird side. Know what I mean? It just doesn’t ...

This purse is supposedly based on Paris Hilton’s former pooch, Tinkerbell. It is supposed to reflect the “trend and fashion” of carrying around a small dog. Sure, that’s a big trend in L.A. and New York, but I’m pretty sure nobody in Columbus, Ohio is doing this. That’s why they should shell out the $317 for this Dead Dog Purse. ...
