LEGO designer Ronald McCrae created this amazing functional ATM made entirely out of LEGOs. How functional is it? Just check it out for yourself: This Lego NXT Automatic Teller Machine includes HiTechnic IRLink and a Codatex RFID Sensor, and just like any other ATM, it demands the PIN number. �Along with a functional keypad, a display screen, it flaunts 9�13 ...

Much like an enlarged prostate, this LEGO Rube Goldberg machine, left to its own devices, would just keep going and going and going. Some Goldberg machines have a goal, such as creating the perfect cocktail, others are made simply for their geeky aesthetic but this particular device simply is. And it continues to be. With the assistance of various building ...

There’s a ton of productive ways to use a shoebox. You can create a diorama, throw a bunch of baseball cards in there for easy and free storage. Hell, you can even use them to hold your shoes. But I’ve never quite seen anybody use a shoebox for anything quite as cool as this. This mini Apple store shoebox creation ...

When Megan Fox and I get married, I will demand only the best for our wedding. Which means this Steampunk Organ Computer will definitly be making an appearance. Sure, there might not be actual functioning pipes, but that’s nothing a little Pro Tools can’t fix. I can’t even say it doesn’t include a keyboard because HELLO, it’s got QWERTY. Everything ...

And that somebody is Etsy user RandomlyGenerated, who created these custom Back to the Future Wooden Peg People. Each detail is there.

I, for one, am not a trained professional. Plus, my hands are too short and stubby for this type of monster drinking. But hey, if you can pull this off, all the power to ya. Who needs a beer bong when you’ve got the quad lager? Link

When I die and go to heaven, I expect this is what I’ll see at the pearly gates. Except I imagine my heavenly AT-AT having a nicer rack. The 3-ft. tall Bacon AT-AT Walker is constructed using 40 lbs. of bacon stuck to a foam base. This porky monstrosity took 21 straight-hours of work to build and probably about a ...

You’ve finally got the iPad and the novelty of playing around with it has sort of worn off. Understandable. That new gadget�excitement can only last so long, but there are ways to extend that excitement. Check out this project which teaches you how to integrate your iPad right into the dashboard of your car. Using the Toyota Tacoma as an ...

My favorite little fluff balls from Return of the Jedi get the plushy treatment thanks to Craftster user gammerus’s immortalization of the Ewok. I don’t only want one of these… I need one. Sure, the proportions aren’t 100% accurate and they probably don’t have that same fresh Ewok smell, but it’s about as close as you’ll get without delving into ...

With the ever-expanding usage of Google Chrome and with Firefox still chugging along, voodoo was probably the last thing that Internet Explorer needed. IE needs all the help it can get, but it certainly isn’t getting it from this follower of voodoo, who apparently is not a happy camper. This is what happens when you make a browser that has ...
