Jakob Lodwick, founder of Vimeo and online entrepreneur, has thrown a lot of money at DIYers Bre Pettis and Zack Hoeken. So much, in fact, that they decided to start a robot company called MakerBot Industries. The company’s first product is the Cupcake CNC machine kit. As it implies, it’s a kit that lets you build your very own CNC ...

You’re the man now, dog. You don’t even know what a recession is. Shit, recession isn’t even in your fucking vocabulary. After all, that is a nice LP 650-4 Roadster you just picked up. How many hundreds of thousands did you drop on that again? Right. Well do me a favor. If you’re going to be driving around in a ...

Waveform jewelry is nothing new to nerds like us. After all, we previously covered a wedding ring that had the waveform for “I do” engraved into the side. You can read about that here. But much like the Eagles’ classic hit, there’s a new kid in town. The Sound Advice project produces all sorts of jewelry based on custom waveforms. ...

It’s no secret that we here at Gearfuse are no fans of the Nintendo Wii. So really, it comes as no surprise that when Nike teamed up with Nintendo for its new Blazer sneaker, the end result was an ugly ass shoe. Look at that dull blue sole! And the Nike stitching on the back heel? It looks like it ...

You gotta hand it to Blizzard for having incredible taste. Taking a page from the Warcraft coffers, the team comissioned a 12-foot Orc statue from WETA, the special FX gurus behind the Lord of the Rings series of movies. Originally, the statue was shrunk down and given to employees as a gift but now all can bask in the Orc’s ...

Consider yourself the ultimate Terminator fan? Then you’ll have to prove your allegiance to Arnold by plunking down $180 for the T2 Complete Collector’s Set. What does $180 score you? First off, it gets you a case for all the DVDs that resembles a 14″ bust of the T-800 Terminator’s head, complete with glowing red eyes and sound effects. What? ...

I love the look of these handmade stools that were spotted over in Japan. There’s a Pac-Man stool and then four additional stools shaped like ghosts. That’s right, take a seat and plop down on top of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. They won’t mind. After all, they’re inanimate objects from a 1980s video game. Link

How often do you find yourself falling asleep at your computer as you surf the web into the early hours of the morning? Have you woken up with keyboard squares etched into your forehead? Maybe even stiff limbs? The “Pillows for Workaholics” suit will protect you from yourself and your stupid ass decisions. Or maybe you could just stop the ...

To be perfectly honest, I sort of feel bad for Mr. Switch. He has people constantly tweaking his nose into impossible angles and he’s forced to smile through it all. But we can see through his pain. Those down-turned eyebrows tell us all we need to know about Mr. Switch’s mental state. We half expect lines of grief to form ...

Mmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this “mod” for the Roomba. While the furry cover for the vacuum is welcome, the strange look this toad has on its face is somewhat like the Mona Lisa’s smile: creepy and mysterious. That’s probably ’cause it’s made with real glass eyes. I get the whole toad thing, but how come I’m ...
