We’ve seen various other engine table designs strewn across the internet. Most are pretty much just a full-sized engine with a piece of glass glued to the top of it. Some call that awesome, we call it lazy. This design, though, is the classiest-styled permutation of an engine table that we’ve come across, inspired more from the days of hotrodding ...

When you think of New Jersey, your mind isn’t whisked away to a magical island. Instead, you think of guidos, landfills and the all-time Asteroids champion. Sure, I’m from NJ originally, but that’s not going to keep me from hating on my home state. But for once, New Jersey has something worth checking out. Mikyoung Kim Design has created this ...

Check out these laptop bags from designer Giles Miller. He does wondrous things with cardboard, attaches a leather belt and calls it a laptop case. While I love the look, it’s still a cardboard case. What happens if it rains? In fact, scratch that. Who cares. Didn’t your laptop come in a cardboard box? If you hung onto that, why ...

Prefer a Coat of Arms over a peacoat? Rayguns over the mighty handgun? We feel you. Your love of Steampunk culture is what keeps the DIY movement going and DVD sales of Blade Runner high. If you’re sick of turning electronics and computers into Steampunk creations, try giving your dishwasher the tile treatment. With a little brass and handiwork, your ...

The is the robot shirt with a style that’s more electrifying than a socket. If you think I should be shot for coming up with a shitty joke like that, then we’re on the same page. For $25, however, you can score this dual-robot shirt; there’s front breast pocket with a little guy waving and a larger version on the ...

I understand that living in a major metropolitan city can leave you with a lack of plants, grass and trees but this is still a bit overkill. It’s a keychain called the Green Capsule and it comes with a small vegetable seed inside along with a proprietary soil mix of some sort. In turn, with a little light, your seed ...

What’s that? Did you say your sister-in-law is a decorator? Oh, that’s cute. Good to know, but see, I won’t be needing your services. No, no, my good pal Eva came by and I handed her $1100 and said “Organize my space!” Well after a trip to IKEA and several hours, she was done. The result is a living room ...

Have a spending problem? Recession got you in a pinch? Go grab your wallet and your iPhone and I’ll teach you how to kill two things with one stone. Grab two credit cards from your wallet, preferably the two that still need to be paid off. Good, now get some scissors ’cause you’re cutting these fuckers up. Follow the instructions ...

I was much more of a Milky Way fan when I was a kid. Not exactly sure why. These days I’m more of a Reese’s or Snickers guy. Perhaps the geniuses over in the Milky Way advertising department were utilizing my soft child-like brain to bend my consciousness to their will, forcing me to favor their candy bar with their ...

Mouse traps are surely not the most pleasant surface to eat on. I could think of at least 1,000 places I’d rather eat (please don’t push me, I will list them all) than on the future death bed of a rodent. Oddly enough, this ingeniously designed “mouse trap” is actually a cheese cutter in disguise. It’s tempting, not because of ...
