Seems Tinkerbot is all about designing fake ray guns that have a distinct vintage feel. After the jump, a selection of his best works that really put the “punk” back in the already enigmatic steampunk ...

Have you ever been out with your digital camera and wish you had a tripod? It’s happened to me many times and while a tripod can dramatically improve your shot, they’re just not practical to carry around. Enter the Gorillapad.

There really is no reason to cry over the Spilt Milk Cereal Bowl. And there’s a good reason why there isn’t. While it might look like a traumatic mess is about to unfold, the bowl is no more likely to cause a mess then any other bowl, unless a child or senior happens to be using it. Because then, you ...

Feeling nostalgic about the 1980s? Want to relive those moments of seeing New Order fire up a Roland TR-909 and go apeshit with it? Well here’s a way you can do it without copious amounts of cocaine. Just pick up some of these slick rings modeled after samplers and drum machines. I’d tell you where to get some but Boing ...

It’s Friday. Treat yourself a little with this white chocolate keyboard. It looks absolutely delicious and considering how white chocolate is secretly a form of crack cocaine, I’d bet it’s addictive as shit. Don’t want to shell out the money? Here’s a DIY for you: -Pick up keyboard in front of you -Melt M & Ms with Bic lighter over ...

Ah, yes. The Samsung Memoir from T-Mobile. It was to lead the charge of the next-generation of cellphones. After all, it has a touchscreen, 3G speeds, an 8-megapixel camera and a variety of other features built-in so it must be good, right? Maybe. The Samsung Memoir, on paper, appears to the hottest phone to hit the market since Apple’s baby ...
