It reminds me of the Happy Days, when my buddy Fonz would ...

This guitar strap fills me with geek envy. Renee of The Domestic Scientist made this cross-stitched guitar strap for her husband themed after the Atari classic Space Invaders.

Without any proof, such speculations become nothing more than the rantings of a scientist doped out on hallucinogens. Now, valid proof that humans from the Stone Age dabbled in the arts of “getting fucked up” have appeared on the Caribbean island of Carriacou. Quetta ...

This setup, dubbed “Mauritian Sunset ” by UK-based artist Sandy Smith, is made up of a ton of old, obsolete computers and monitors. Together they create a wall-sized installation that produces beautiful colors that resemble a “sunset” of some kind. While I don’t see the whole sunset thing, I think it’d make as an awesome lighting setup for a party ...

I can’t get enough of corny retro video game commercials.� When I saw this Street Fighter 2 Turbo promotional video posted on Dooby Brain, I just had to share it here.� It reminds me of the better times in my life, when wearing cardigan sweaters and listening to Nirvana was cool.
