Lamborghini Ankonian Concept: Child of the Batmobile
Innovation meets beauty with the creation of the Lamborghini Ankonian Concept. Not your grandpapi’s Lambo, this bad boy appears to be created using reptilian metallic scales. Built like some sort of dinosaur/shielded Batmobile hybrid, the Arkonian is pretty much an orgasm in car form.
8-Bit Christmas Tree
(Very loosely sung to the tune of “Oh Christmas Tree“) Oh, 8-bit tree Oh, 8-bit tree Your ornaments are so epic Oh, 8-bit tree Oh, 8-bit tree Mike Tyson makes me want to use anti-septic You make me smile and you make me bow I really wanna play some Zelda now Oh, 8-bit tree Oh, 8-bit tree Your ornaments are so epic Link [via]
Meme Overload
Straight from the depths of 4Chan, check out this meme-inspired desktop wallpaper. Is it possible that the memes listed number over 9000?! No… probably not. Link
Steampunk Menorah
I have a dream. A modest dream when compared to that of Martin Luther King Jr., but a dream nevertheless. I have a dream that one day I’ll be able to live in a home that is fully-designed in the Steampunk fashion. From floor to ceiling, this home would be decked out in Victorian/Sci-fi goodness. And don’t think I would stop in the name of religious relics. Oh no. This Steampunk Menorah would fit right into my dream home. Link... Continue reading
Google Confirms Unlocked Nexus One Phone Coming in January
UPDATE: The Nexus One will be sold exclusively through T-Mobile, according to sources. Referred to as “the iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel,” Google has finally admitted to developing their own phone with hardware partner HTC. Basically the Nexus One will be a thinner, unlocked, Googlier iPhone. A new post on the Google Mobile Blog confirms the existence of such a device: We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a... Continue reading
Talk About a Flamer
This LEGO sculpture depicts the very definition of a flamer. Made using every fiery LEGO piece he could get his hands on, David Pickett created Helios, the flaming LEGO monster. I can hear the cheesy action hero taglines now. “If you play with fire, you’re gonna get burrrrned, son.” Look, there might be other, easier ways to create your own fire monster, but we really don’t recommend them.

Just How Huge is the Internet on an Average Day?
An average day of interneting is no small feat. In fact, it’s a monumentally large feat. An average day can hardly be called average when referring to the internetz. Check out the infographic after the jump to see just how massive the data sent on the Internet is on a daily basis. 43.3 petabytes of data sent through mobile phones daily? That’s a whole lot of sexting.
Desperatly Seeking Power Glove Love
Now, this is my kind of Craigslist ad. But honestly, that PPS is ridiculous. How can you expect no nerds? That’s like throwing an anime convention and banning artists, or even more ridiculous, banning costumes. Link [via]
Full-Scale NES Cartridge Made of LEGO Bricks
I thought I had reached the epitome of geekdom when I managed to simultaneously play my NES system and build a LEGO creation, but man, I was wrong, as it usually the case. How many peeks of geekery hasĀ their been in Gearfuse’s history? More than necessary. What was I thinking anyway? My actions could have been made exponentially geekier with some simple LEGO innovation. I could have been playing my NES while creating a bricktastic full-scale NES cartridge. Of... Continue reading
Break the Ice With Bizarre Mouse Assisted Socialization
I typically don’t think of rodents when I think of how to break the ice on a first date. I just never made that association. I’m not Richard Gere. But this bizarre Mouse Assisted Interplay system allows two socializing love birds to walk around wearing a mobile mouse nest, allowing your mouse to interact with your partner’s mouse, supposedly spurring human-to-human interaction.
