Coffin-Shaped Cigarette Box: Telling It Like It Is
I smoked for nearly ten years, from the time I was 14 to my current age of 23. I quit about a year ago, with a few naughty indiscretions in between, and everyday, I still think about smoking. I’m unsure if that urge will ever truly go away, but I know in the long run, the cravings are worth the trouble. For now, the battle is constant. These Coffin-Shaped Packs of Cigarettes reminded me of my ultimate fate if I... Continue reading
Nano-sized Lock Box Opened with Key Made of DNA
Atomically, DNA and its components are about as tiny as we can get before we enter the realm of “I don’t know what the hell I’m looking at here.” So you can imagine how “nano” we’re talking here when we mention a nano-sized box, made of DNA, which can only be opened by a specific DNA strain. Now THAT’S security. Danish scientists at the Aarhus University Center for DNA Nanotechnology created a 3D box made of DNA. The box’s lid... Continue reading

That’s how the boxes from Cava wines work. Even a bulb and ballast setup is included so you can light things up from the start. Ease the mood for the ladies, pour a glass of Shiraz and off come the panties. What more could you ask for... Continue reading
Wii Love Wii Accessories
I get it. You’re too classy to put all your Wii-motes into a shoebox. You want something that’s stylish and has “Wii” printed on it. The Wii Remocon storage accessory is just that. While it’s no shoe box, it can double as a pencil holder or a box you can shit in. It’s $7.99 per Remocon which comes in black, aqua and plain white. A penny more and you’re getting robbed considering each box can only hold one controller. Who... Continue reading

Guy Plays World Of Warcraft All By Himself
It’s a no-brainer that some people play WoW a little too much. MMORPGs have always been about investing an insane amount of time to develop your character. We won’t ridicule forum-goer Gamer Prepared who runs 36 accounts of World of Warcraft because after all, that requires a serious gaming rig. What better way to eliminate the entire purpose of playing in a MMORPG community full of other players by playing with only yourself. Finding a guild is just too hard... Continue reading
Lock Away Work Station For The Paranoid
When it’s been a long day at work and you’re sapped of any energy you require to pack up your belongings and scurry home, you’ll need to facilitate the process. A briefcase doesn’t come close to fitting your whole workstation in it like the Cyber Box does. It’s a cubicle on the move that, when on your way out, forces you to take the elevator. Designer Jacky Nicolas wanted to give workers a way to lock up their computer into... Continue reading
My Wife Left Me Because Of My Cardboard Star Trek Models
I thought I was really into Star Trek. I have every episode from the original series and TNG as well as many articles of clothing and a beer bottle opener shaped like the Enterprise. However, Bob Prior’s passion and fanboy-ism for Star Trek far surpasses my own. He’s created Star Trek replicas from Rice Krispies boxes. From Kirk to Picard, Spock to LaForge, Bob has created over 50 models which include the Starship Enterprise, its command bridge and captains James... Continue reading
A Practical Use Of The Furby
Remember the hit toy the Furby? It was the first successfully domestically-aimed robot that sold well because all the kids just had to have it. But, just like the Tickle-Me Elmo or any other Christmas time fad, it died off and everyone forgot about it. That is, until David Cranmer skinned a few of them and turned them into a musical instrument that takes no skill to play unlike the Stylophone. Using four Furbies, David managed to craft some intricate... Continue reading
Cough Into This Headset
Did you get a ticket for talking on your cellphone while driving? Man, that sucks. Well, do something about it, get a headset. Better yet, get a headset to feed your nicotine addiction. Making calls is as easy as shouting into this cigarette box. It’s designed for Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson cellphones or people trying to get over cancer by reminding themselves that this pack is not smokeable. It’s the headset that doesn’t mind getting coughed all over, after all, it’s used... Continue reading
