Back in July, I briefly mentioned a beer pong raft that ruins the fundamental experience that is the game of beer pong. Well, the creators behind the Port-O-Pong weren’t too pleased about that, so they sent us one. Needless to say, my face lit up when it arrived at my doorstep. The advertisers claim it can be played “anywhere on ...

Ready to party like it’s 1998 again? Damn straight. Check out Alek Komarnitsky’s Halloween light expose above. Very nice and elaborate, no? Alek took the awesomeness one step further by rigging the electronics of his light show up with X10, which is a protocol used to control home automation systems and lights. If that didn’t sound good, what if I ...

We’re digging this eco-friendly goodness from the folks at Windation Energy Systems. If you couldn’t guess by the name, they deal with organic means of producing wind energy. The developer of Windation’s latest wind turbine, Mark Sheikhrezai, was inspired by wind catchers used by the Persians to keep their interiors cool. The concept is simple: wind blows into the top, ...

Remember the Keyboard Organizer? Perfect for the one guy at the office whose always got a cluttered desk. It’s a standard keyboard that comes in black or white that not only is a fully-functional keyboard, but also provides storage space underneath the keys. It’s like a utility box inside your keyboard. Well, the storage space isn’t the only reason the ...

I’d love to meet the guy who designed the traditional power strip. I’d like to ask him what the fuck he was thinking when he was designing it. You can”t fit more than one video game AC adapter and if you do, it fucks everything else up. This is why I like the design of the Powerwise table, designed by ...

Halloween is upon us, so we’re keeping our eyes peeled for some spooky home decorations that will surely scare the kids. What could be more frightening than pumpkin carvings of your favorite (or least favorite) politicians? Nothing comes to mind. These “campaign-o-lanterns” offer a slew of PDFs you can use to begin carving your political pumpkins. I don’t know about ...

I love the look of this Bubble Pitcher set. It comes with two glasses and a carafe. While it’s certainly beautiful and resembles a bong, the price is nothing to get excited about. $448 it’ll cost for you to own the set. That’s an iPhone. What do you think? Is tableware worth this much to you, especially with the economy ...

We’ve been looking for some steampunk gear to match our new headphones and cane for a while now. Thanks to WETA’s steampunk raygun, the set is complete and I am now an official member of the Wild Wild West 2 movie crew. It’s called the “The Unnatural Selector – A Ray-Blunderbuss from Dr Grordbort’s,” and does little more than hang ...

If you’re an avid Photoshop user or graphic designer, you’ll surely be able to appreciate this unique photo frame. It mimics a window from the popular Adobe program, Photoshop. For $50, you too can slap a picture of you and your wife dressed up as Darth Vader in this frame. Will it start conversation come your next cocktail party? Of ...

Reminiscent of the City Foundry Bots, in comes a new breed of artsy sculptures made from old tech junk. Jeremy Mayer cleverly reworks old-fashioned typewriters into life-like humanoid sculptures. Occasionally, the wild feral cat is thrown into the mix, but most of his portfolio consists of bipedal robots. The intricacy of design is impeccable. You’d never think all those parts ...
