Designer Marcus Tremonto crafts these wicked DIY sconces out of strands of illuminated wire which he pokes through glossy sheets of acrylic. The result is this 3-D illusion of a lamp that almost appears as if it isn’t hanging from a wall. These light fixtures are eco-friendly as well, with each one operating with cool-burning electroluminescent wire. Tremonto doesn’t just ...

Check out this USB “hand warmer” stick. It doesn’t have the finger grips that the other USB hand warmer has, but it costs a dollar more. Strange. Oh, who am I kidding. This thing is as much for your hands as a monitor is for your head. In truth, this is a covert dildo for pleasuring either yourself, a loved ...

The REK Bookcase from Reinier de Jong doesn’t just have good looks, it can expand and contract as your book collection changes. Slide it together and it’s extremely thin, taking up no more room than a basic bookshelf would. Expand it and you get a storage system that rivals that of IKEA. Who would even think about keeping this thing ...

Here’s a great DIY that involves knitting and LittleBigPlanet. Etsy user ShadowsInTheNyte knitted up some winter caps that are all inspired by gaming. There’s a hat inspired by Kirby, one that takes after the famous Final Fantasy Moogle and of course, a brilliant Sackboy hat. It’s just scary how good these hats look when compared to the actual games. There’s ...

For anyone who played it back in the 1990s, the original Half-Life holds a special place in their heart. Whether it was the infamous Gordon Freeman crowbar or Barney’s terrible one-liners, you can’t deny that the first ass you kicked was a headcrab’s. A Kotaku reader named Mark decided to design his own action figure that closely resembles a security ...

Here’s a video of a RepRap machine that can print out its own three-dimensional shot glasses. Does a robot get any cooler than that? Yes. The kind that brings you a beer. Why not get a LEGO Mindstorms setup going on that pours liquor into finished shotglasses? Now there’s an idea. Link

We all know Tiffany & Co. as a seller of fine luxury goods, specifically jewelry and home decor. Usually, Tiffany stuff is very costly but not today. You can get yourself this creepy Jack Skellington lamp for a paltry $60. Yes, sixty bucks gets you a Tiffany lamp. In fac-wait a second. This only looks like it’s from Tiffany! What ...

Holy cow! I thought I had seen it all when it came to papercraft until I stumbled upon Marshall Alexander’s site. His Foldskool Heroes series of papercraft creatures are incredibly detailed and a lot fun to look at. Some look like video game consoles, some resemble a PB&J sandwich and others are just born from imagination. He’s made a few ...

Here’s a sweet Sonic The Hedgehog $50 chess set that’s due out in Germany next year. It features Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, A Chaos Emerald and uses rings as pawns. The board itself resembles the Green Hill Zone stage from the first Sonic game. It’s due out in March and while I’m tempted to get one, something tells me that ...

I don’t understand why I can’t spend three hours in the shower or courtesy flush twice during a massive number two. Why is water such a precious and conserved commodity when we have devices like the WaterMill which extracts the water from air? This glorified dehumidifier is placed on the outside of your house and brings fresh water in to ...
