More than a year ago we wrote about an artist who featured drawings made using only the super-retro Etch-A-Sketch. Sorry to Mr. Gagliardi. I mean, we love the fact that you have the awesomeness to feature the word “Gag” in your name, but this artist, who made a rendition of the Grand Theft Auto IV cover art on his Etch, ...

You’d think that your average white collar cubicle warrior would be hellbent on actually standing up and moving around when he’s not tied down to his office chair, but apparently, office workers just like to sit! The Briefcase Seat design from artists Joan Korbes and Denis Oudendijk provides cubicle workers a place to sit after their long day of, um… ...

Our west coast DIYers will definitely want to make the trek down to San Mateo, California for the Maker Faire, which goes down this weekend on the San Mateo County Fairgrounds.

Two years from now, almost every dot-com out there without a solid business plan and/or funding is going to be very unhappy when this whole 1999-esque bubble bursts.

The latest craze to hit the land of the rising sun is Drop-in IV Drip Therapy, a service offered through TenTeki10, a company I don’t have ...

Don’t get me wrong. This is stretching the bounds of what’s tech-related, just like your face. But after eyeing this Nantucket Rope Bracelet from J. Crew, which costs a mere $10, I haven’t been the same. I’ve had dreams of nautical voyages across dangerous seas, yacht ricottas and even docks. I imagine a bunch of us there, with a cooler ...

The creator of LSD, Albert Hofmann, passed away this week at the ripe age of 102. After discovering the drug in 1938, the Swiss chemist accidentally got some on his finger in 1943 and experienced what is suspected to be the first LSD trip in history. After seeing a major surge in LSD during the 1960s and ’70s, since LSD ...

Accidentally tangling your wires into a knotted mess really sucks. Doing the same thing in a organized, purposeful fashion, can be pretty damn gorgeous. Take a look at these light installations from designer Kwangho Lee. Lee has mastered the art of tangled wires in the form of lighting fixtures. The original concept was to strip your average everyday lamp down ...

Jesus was known for a wide assortment of parlor tricks. If I had to choose one of Jesus’ powers, it would have to be turning water into wine, just because I’m a drunk badass like that. Arcstream AV is conquering another one of those biblical tricks with their interactive “Living Image” exhibit at The Science Museum in South Kensington, London. ...
