See this picture above you? How could you not? It’s ridiculous looking. You’d think it was a VR unit from your favorite 1993 arcade. It’s not. This is the Exar Paradise, a home oxygen bar that is way too big, looks stupid and probably won’t fit in your third-floor walk up. Like I said, I don’t see how anyone except ...

Yea, Canada is a cold place but for these houses, which can provide over 90% of the annual heating and hot water needs, the cold is the last of their worries.

This party wagon is dubbed the All American Tailgater. The problem? No American flag. It’s the got “Freedom Grill” and the bar is always open, but where are the other signs of patriotism? According to Obama, you don’t need to show your patriotism by adorning your nation’s flag. That’s bullshit. Regardless, this tailgater is stacked! With a 32-inch flat screen ...

The picture above is Microsoft’s new fortress of solitude for Bill Gates. Just kidding, it’s actually a fire station in Mexico City. It was designed by the companies At 103 and BGP Arquitectura.� It’s not much of a looker during the day but at night, light shines through the slits in between the chrome-like plates for an impressive light show ...

I can only imagine how great crack cocaine must be. Seriously, it’s gotta be one hell of a drug. I know this much because the design team at BMW has obviously been smoking a shitload of it.
