Designed by Nick Kim, this Sliding PSP concept incorporated a retro aesthetic with modern mobile practicality. The sliding console controls hide the display when the PSP isn’t in use, so there’s a reduced worry of screen scratching and probably less smudging too. What I really like about this is that it’s probably even smaller than the original PSP design. Smaller = easier to carry around. Anything that reduces the size of handheld consoles is good.

Named after the fictional land of giants from Gulliver’s Travels, The Brobdingnagian Sports Chair is a five and a half foot tall seating apparatus, featuring over nine square feet of seating space. That’s enough room for at least 6 or 7 midgets. That’s like, 10-12 Verne Troyers. Mini-me, stop humping the giant chair. We do not gnaw on out arm rests. And if you don’t have the Jawa-sized peeps handy needed to fill this chair to capacity, just lounge around... Continue reading

Instructables user noahw put together this insanely awesome DIY project, teaching us how to create our very own Wooly Willy Table. Those of us who remember playing with Wooly Willy or similar incarnations in our childhood know that even though the concept of moving around iron flakes with a magic magnet wand might seem too simple, it’s strangely addicting. While this should be a great addition to, say, a playroom or a pediatrician’s waiting room, I’m more concerned about my... Continue reading

April Fools’ Day is right around the corner, which means it’s time to get nasty. It’s time to get mean. It’s time to get ruthless. And feel totally not guilty about it at all. TV Poltergeist is a little device that you can hide in your living room that will automatically turn the power to the TV off and on every 5-20 minutes or so, leading your friends and family to believe that your home has been barraged by a...

Sure, you could argue that you might as well just use a traditional bicycle or maybe even walk for a change, but some people require variety in their life. The Treadmill Bicycle takes the treadmill out from the confines of your home and allows you to power walk your way through nature, without all of that troublesome pedaling. Sort of like a hybrid between a bike, a scooter and your run-of-the-mill home treadmill, the Treadmill Bike gets you out into... Continue reading

For the past two months or so, Netflix has been delaying the shipment of many Warner Bros. new releases by 28 days, a new mandate installed by the production company in order to allegedly provide a better user experience. Well, Netflix users should be enraged to see that Blockbuster signed a deal that allows them to both ship to their online customers and rent out their movies at their remaining brick and mortar outlets on the day of the actual...

I’ll tell you right where this product fails. It’s not edible. Us American love to eat (and make love) to our gadgets. The fact that I can’t bite into this thing and expect a waffle and ice cream explosion in my mouth tells me that this product is destined to fail. I might be lazy, but I’m not lazy enough to sacrifice my love for all things edible. Aptly available for purchase from Stupid.com.. Link [via]

For those of us who were raised during the 80s and 90s, Duck Hunt brings back memories of hours of pointing a gun at our televisions. If you grew up during the peak years of the NES, Duck Hunt was the coolest thing on the market, one of the only games at the time that had a dedicated peripheral. But more importantly, it’s the nostalgic feeling we get when we reflect on our childhood hobbies, and this sweater embodies that... Continue reading

Inspired by the AT-TE Walkers from the Star Wars universe, this iPhone dock is composed of an assortment of LEGO bricks. Creator Chris Harrison’s obsession with his iPhone, Star Wars and caffeine led to the creation of one of the coolest iPhone docks we’ve seen yet (though any dock is going to be hard pressed to beat the Dinosaur Dock). Which confirms my theory, Star Wars and LEGOs together can never fail. Link [via]

No doubt about it, the Star Wars universe just wouldn’t be the same without the shiny white uniforms of the Stormtroopers, but maybe the boss Stormtrooper man could wear a steampunk-themed helmet. You know, just to differentiate himself from the crowd. Though this might defeat the purpose. I think the anonymity of Stormtroopers added to the fascist overtone of the Empire. Almost akin to the Nazis and their Aryan army. Allusions to history aside, this Steampunk Stormtrooper Helmet is undeniably cool. Just unabashedly... Continue reading
