Victor Vetterlein has designed a vision of what conceptual homes of the future will look like. I am easily reminded of the bizarre looking “arcologies” you could build in SimCity 2000. Dubbed “Reboot,” the futuristic living-space is supposed to be a self-sufficient and environment friendly take on everyday living. Everything about its interior is digitally controlled and designed to be ...

If you’ve ever played the game Full Throttle or seen the movie Aliens, you’re familiar with the “game” of laying your hand down flat on a table and using a knife to stab at the table in between your fingers. The trick is to not hit your hand. There’s no pay off for winning the game but there is most ...

Designer Soojin Hyun has created a unique take on an office workplace by adding an adolescent fort feeling to a workers surroundings. It’s called “House on the Table,” and that’s essentially what it is – a house on a table. If anything, it’s a glorified cubicle without the carpeted walls. It would boost a workers attitude more so than a ...

Kati Peck might be a little bit of a nerd for creating a whole batch of intricately decorated Star Wars cupcakes, but as far as I’m concerned, she’s one talented nerd with a knack for baking. Each cupcake features our main man, Darth Vader, in all his Dark Side glory. Underneath his mask lie two bright-red lightsabers. All this talk ...

Want to feel like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz? Try a pair of these shoes on for size. Not only are they a paltry $55, they’re also made entirely from recycled plastic. A quilted insole keeps your feet comfy or about as comfy as a plastic shoe is ever going to get. It’s not half bad but if you’re ...

The Atari 1980 masterpiece Missile Command is given a whole new take on interactive gaming thanks to Steven Mason. Steve wrote the clone for the multi-touch wall at Obscure Digital. It’s the same classic game, except you touch to shoot defending projectiles at incoming missiles. This adds a new element of game play and also gets your lazy ass off ...

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out and bought fresh fruit, only to have it mold by sitting in my refrigerator’s crisper drawer. It’s both a waste of food and money and can be quite frustrating at times. This is where BLUE enters the picture. BLUE will cleanse your fruits through emitting a special light that kills ...

Star peg goes in the star-shaped hole, triangle peg goes in triangle-shaped hole and hexagon goes in-well you get the point. Though it may seem as harmless as a Fisher Price toy (or target-practice), this Puzzle Alarm Clock will probably piss you off early in the morning when you’re waking up. It’s really a simple, yet beautiful thing. As the ...

You could be the biggest nerd ever and still have trouble telling someone the time with this watch. I mean just because you still play Doom doesn’t mean you can form sentences in binary code, right? Fine, I’ll admit it. I’ve been too lazy as of late to learn binary. That’s why you deserve this fine Binary Watch from a ...

Get your mind out of the gutter. It’s not that kind of hole. Link (via)
