I don’t know shit about this video other than it’s awesome and the guy is using a custom MIDI drum setup to beat the Dragonforce song that’s on Guitar Hero 3. Very cool. Link

Kevin Kelly has a great find over on his site Cool Tools. It’s an $11 book from author Norbert E. Yankielun that teaches the art of the igloo and other snow shelters. After reading the 208 page novel, all you’ll need to do is wait for the next Nor’Easter and you’re ready to build a house that isn’t affected by ...

The Internet is a glory hole of custom PC cases like this hideous Volkswagen case and this case with a face. It’s also a great place to find what DIYers (like Japan’s Akiba PC) are up to next. Having finished their SEGA Saturn case mod, the crew of Akiba PC turned their attention towards the late, great SEGA Dreamcast. What ...

This clock burns with the power of lemons. No, really. This is a digital clock that is powered by citric acid. The wood plank has two spikes of copper and zinc built into it. Put half of a lemon on each spike and be amazed at how it runs on a single lemon for an entire week. It’s magic. Looking ...

Here’s a DIY system that can only be described as “horrendous.” Someone took a shitty Atari 2600 and shoved it inside a shitty SEGA Game Gear system.

Yes! Just in time for winter comes a hat that will surely satisfy your tentacle fetish. They are hats that resemble squid and are handmade by Mike, aka MikeST on Flickr. Two of the tentacles contain mittens; a neat feature on headwear that’s already pretty creative! Link [via]

Here’s a wedding ring that’s out of the ordinary. A “Yes, I Do” sound wave is cut-out of the ring. No engraving your significant other’s favorite love poem on this ring. There’s no room for it. Designer Sakura Koshimizu uses lasers to cut out the shape of the waveform produced from your own “Yes I Do.” Using some sound editing ...

We’re big fans of papercraft here at Gearfuse, so we just couldn’t resist posting these blockheaded scientists. Print out your choice of Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein or Carl Sagan and fold away. Brains not included, idiot. Link [via]

Whoa, whoa. Hold up. The title of this post could be seen as deceptive. I swear, these are not my intentions. I just had to show you Nick Dean’s LEGO creation that features a vending machine made out of LEGOs. There’s a bill reader included on the side and even mini-plastic packaging for the ammo clips and supplies that await ...

Building a car from a kit is nothing new. Open any modern auto magazine and you’ll find plenty of that crap in the classifieds. But when one man goes above and beyond to turn a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fully-functional, stylish Audi R8, well, that’s magic. While there’s just some things that can’t be copied, overall this car looks ...
