Lots of cool skateboard designs pop-up on the web, but these laser-etched skateboard decks are some of the coolest we’ve seen yet. Would you get one of these to ride it or would you just hang it on a wall and frame it? This is one piece of art deserving admiration towards its creativity at every glance. After the jump, some of our favorites: (more…)
The friendly food hackers over at Obacchi Jacket Lunch Box have started selling custom-made Bento boxes, designed to resemble a selection of classic album covers.
Some included are the Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland lunch, made with nori, paprika (red & orange), egg, rice, and the Kiss Destroyer lunch, made using egg, nori, ume (Japanese plum), kamaboko, rice. Hit the jump for some more awesome (and tasty) creations. (more…)
If you’ve ever taken a glance at products released for infants, you’ll see that many include the title “baby’s first…” Kid Kustoms can only be explained as Baby’s First Hot Rod. Donning some of the particulars that make speed demons wet their pants, the Kid Kustoms’ strollers lets you pimp out your kid’s carriage.
Including over-wheel fenders, pearlescent paint jobs, monocoque chassis, and a wide assortment of add-ons and blingage to secure your kid’s place as the first one on the block to own a hot rod. You can customize your kids stroller for prices ranging from $2,000 t0 $3,500, depending on how lux you’re willing to go. (more…)
If customizing your Segway’s frame wasn’t hardcore enough for you, I’ve got a whole new idea for all of you Seg-fans (but not so much her.)
This ultra-custom Segway adds two feet of wheels on either side of the device, effectively creating what I am calling, the “Monster Truck Of Segways”. — Andrew Dobrow
The Segway has been used in many ways, even as a mobile baby carriage pusher (or as I like to call it, the lazy bitch mobile), but we’ve yet to see some real custom Segway rides.
SegwayJunkyard has put together some impressive custom Segway devices, including the Night Rider (pictured left) and a special Segway made for LG (pictured right). We think Hubo the robot might want his own custom ride after being the first robot to successfully ride a Segway. How about it? — Andrew Dobrow
So you’ve heard of Guitar Hero and its recent release of its second iteration on the PS2. If not, just think of Dance Dance Revolution (DRR), and Guitar Hero is DDR for rockers. So while the release of Guitar Hero 2 isn’t news anymore, the ability to do custom songs definately is. The people at the Scorehero forums have figured out how to go around the system and code their own note charts and import mp3s to play along to. Think you wanna try? Look at this:
Step 4. Get an .mp3 of the song in question. If one is freely available, it may have been provided by the song creator, if not you will need to rip it from the CD or buy it from Itunes.
Step 5. Insert your GH2 disc into your DVD drive, copy the contents of the disc to a folder on your hard drive.
Step 6. Open Guitar Hero Explorer (Ghex), Go to file —> add archive and locate your MAIN_0.ARK file which is in the “GEN” folder you copied from the GH2 disc
If that looks exciting to you, go ahead. The prospect of playing Metalica and Bullet For My Valentine makes just about any metalhead wish they knew how to attack the technical knowhow required to get through the 8 programs and 12 steps to do your custom importing of data. Soooo, is it legal? Doesn’t look like it, you need a “modified” PS2 to play these “backups”. Video after the jump.
