A sad year for comedy, indeed. George Carlin was admitted to St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California on June 22, 2008. He was complaining of chest pain upon admission and was known to have a history of cardiovascular issues.  He died later that day at 5:55 p.m. PDT of heart failure at the age of 71. To our favorite comedian, George Dennis Carlin, the amazing atheist, for 71 years of wisdom, hardship, and most of all, laughter.

If you really suck at video games or you’re just a no good untrustworthy cheating sonofabitch, then the AcidMods Spit-Fire Controller was made just for you. This Xbox 360 controller mod has two special function buttons which are fully programmable that will give your pudgy fingers an edge against competition that is clearly superior to you in Call Of Duty 4. Demonstrated in the video are some of the macros that can be assigned to the all new back buttons... Continue reading

Nothing is better than technology through cake, especially when it’s a JDate-inspired cake! These baked goods are the product of two Jews in love who met on JDate.com. After some time, the couple, Amy and Adam, decided to get hitched and decided their wedding cake should reflect how they first met. Hope that cake isn’t being served during Passover! Aside from the two 1989-esque laptops, there’s also cake Starbucks cups and what looks like a frosting-based USB cable. Since nothing... Continue reading

Crabfu’s latest creation, the R/C tortoise, offers a uniquely humorous way of control that makes for an enjoyable show of stumbling limbs. Using a four channel radio system, the user is able to control each limb with each axis of the transmitter stick. Basically, you can make this thing dance better than Patrick Swayze ever did. On top of that, you can scare the shit out of your pets. Unfortunately, this tortoise hates water. No practical use, just pure unadulterated... Continue reading

I stumbled upon the greatest hack/mod/sandwich for the Nintendo DS. It’s called Midify and as any dork or musician could guess, it’s MIDI-related. This little board adds MIDI ports to your DS, allowing Electroplankton to shine at its full potential. Apparently the interface is very easy to work with and mapping triggers shouldn’t be a problem. At $35, DS enthusiasts will be very happy with this mod. Lots of options are available and the ability to us a DS (with... Continue reading

I don’t know how Friedrich Kirschner pulled this stunt off but it’s one of the best DIYs I’ve seen in a long time. He essentially constructed a 3-D scanner out of LEGOs, a webcam and milk. Watching the above video, you can see how Friedrich places a figurine into a vat of milk. A picture is taken and a spoonful of milk is added to the vat. The process is repeated until the object is fully submerged in milk. Once... Continue reading

This new LEGO Star Wars toy is the Castle Grayskull of all LEGOs. Fuck Fort Legorado, this LEGO Death Star is twice as much money ($400) and twice as cool. It comes with 25 Star Wars characters LEGO-style, including the “TK-421! Why aren’t you at your post?” Stormtrooper clad Han and Luke. It even has the trash compactor monster that nearly killed Luke in Episode IV. You won’t find a better way to relive your childhood by reenacting the final... Continue reading

It’s been a long week and I’m sure we’ll kick back and relax this weekend. Either way, I know you’ll be reading Ryan’s article on 8 unconventional arcade games. Perhaps it’d be best for all of us if you got this Pac-Man t-shirt Pay whatever you want for the new Girl Talk album. I gave it a listen and it’s pretty catchy Surprise! Comcast still sucks dong Woot! is having a Woot Off! Right now you can score an iPod... Continue reading

No one uses outhouses anymore. However, a cardboard box that you take a shit in has many practical uses for would-be shitting toddlers and adults alike. This lightweight portable cardboard toilet was designed for outdoor use and pops up from a convenient 14-inch flat pack form. Each package includes ten bio-degradable (good for the environment) poo boxes which can be yours for around $30. Ideal for camping, festivals and pretty much anywhere you need to take a shit. Perhaps the... Continue reading

It’s a shame that Sega doesn’t manufacture gaming consoles anymore but it’s good to see the company can still churn out some interesting product. Ampbot is Sega’s latest creation and it’s a weird one. Ampbot follows you around blasting music from 12W speakers. It dances to the beat, busts a move and will set you back $500. Yeah, I know. Ampbot seemed like the coolest fucking thing since Purple Rain until you found out he was $500. Cool idea, bad... Continue reading
