2001: A Space Odyssey Vinyl Figure

The Kubrick classic lives on in fantastic plastic. Artist Michael Lau is working on a new show dubbed CSBOOTH15. While that’s fantastic and all, the real treat is one of the plastic figurines Lau has created for the show. Donning an all-orange spacesuit and a cheesy box-o-electronics on his chest, the astronaut closely resembles that dude from 2001: A Space ...

3-D Pixel Dog Won’t Fetch Jack

This pixelated dog actually serves as an advertisement for Leica cameras. Since I can’t read a ton of Spanish, I’ll leave it up to your imagination to figure out how this dog came about. I love how in the one photo, the real dog is trying to see what’s up with the pixelated paper pooch. Link

ChocoCase iPhone Case Looks Tasty

This basic iPhone case is the shit and I’ll explain to you why: You see, it’s modeled after a chocolate bar. And while it’s not real, delicious chocolate, it’s certainly the precursor to a prank that will be played on you constantly.

After a long day of Apple announcements, I like to kick back and lounge.

Robo Crazy Flickr User

Flickr user Agustina loves her felt and possibly robots. And while Felt Robots are cool, we want fire-breathing, horseback riding, begging, swimming, cooking, killer robots that come equipped with the ability to give us hand jobs.
