D’oh! Homer Simpson Found on Euro Coin

Filed under: Design, Hacks

It’s funny how the Simpsons seem to pop up everywhere. Especially Homer. From USB-powered lights to wall clocks to iPods, you just can’t seem to escape the charm of America’s favorite yellow family. Even across the world, in Aviles, Spain, Homer is turning up in odd places. A shopkeeper found him on the back of a one Euro coin instead of the usual King Juan Carlos. Odd? Oh yes.

It certainly looks like Homer, but it can’t be on the back of a Euro. He’s busy drinking a cold Duff down at Moe’s.

Miss Washbasin Conforms To Your Body

Filed under: Design, Household

Let’s face it, your face is dirtier than a Denny’s kitchen. You shouldn’t have to worry about cramping your back while hunched over your normal everyday bathroom sink. Hidra, creators of the Miss Washbasin, were thinking of your crater filled cheeks when they designed the Miss. The concave form of the sink allows for comfortable leaning against the front of the sink so you can scrub vigorously away at the layers of grease encroaching on your demeanor.

Do you have a misconceived self-image?When I use my mirror to elegantly dishevel my hairĀ  just how I like it, I sometimes need to have my Vietnamese slave hold another mirror behind me at an angle just so I can see the view from the back. The 360 Degree Mirror is made to allow you to ogle my your flawless physique from all angles simultaneously, to assure you look great for the cameras.

The center panel illuminates to cast a glow on your profile, while three panels on each side are designed to wrap around for a complete 360 look. If you don’t feel like seeing yourself in panorama mode, just fold the side panels together. Get yours for $40. — Andrew Dobrow

PC Case With A Face

Filed under: Design, Desktops

Your PC is watching you. And we don’t mean internally. Designer Ross McBride has come up with these PC cases which gives the desktop tower a personality. If this PC could talk, I might even quip, “Why the long face?”

Many geeks picture their computers having their own personalities anyway. Many even go as far as naming their computers. At least now you can place a face with the name. Sadly, the designer doesn’t have plans at producing these cases just yet, as they are filed under “ideas”. But, hell, if they aren’t the splitting image of what I figured a PC man would look like. — Andrew Dobrow
