Everybody’s favorite crisped pork fat dish, with a side of fried chicken hatchling, is the star of this felt iPhone case / pouch / inedible tease. Breakfast is one of the geekiest meals of the day, just because the inclusion of bacon, maybe with a dash of Jolt cola for that AM buzz.

The handcrafted case makes me hungry just thinking about it. Seriously. The $35 price tag is a little more steep than I’m used to, but for bacon, I’d do almost anything.

You could go through all of the trouble of learning how to roll your own sushi rolls, spending months mastering the art, or you could take the easy way out, get one of these nifty sushi rollers designed by Osko+Deichmann and be eating in no time. The latter sounds good to me, thank you very much.

This contraption kind of looks like a cigarette roller. Sure, it might not be the “ancient” way of doing things, but when I’m starving, the last thing I want to do is sit around playing with seaweed for an hour. Don’t forget the soy sauce! More picture love after the jump.

Apparently, being in the Russian military isn’t all fun and vodka. Hanging out in the woods all day might sound like a fantastic time (no, it actually really, really doesn’t), but in reality, it’s a lot rougher than you’d expect. Members of a Chechen troupe of troops have resorted to extreme ways of charging their beloved electronic devices.

This handmade wooden charger was made by Chechen troops after they realized that the 20 lbs. of charger cabling they hauled with them into the woods wouldn’t do any good without a source of electricity. Hence, the creation of a physically powered, wooden charging device. (more…)

The cat is back! Check out this wacky bed that’s shaped just like a cheeseburger. It was obviously created by some Internet-loving hipsters who had enough time and skill to craft such a bed. I mean look at the cheese. It’s a blanket! In my opinion, the best part of this bed is the top bun, which looks all too real to me after consuming my quota of Quarter Pounders with Cheese for the week.

Two things are fantastic when made at home: lemonade and tanks.

Two brothers from Maine built this tank they call the Ripsaw MS1. It’s controlled by two people, a driver and a gunner. The most impressive feature is that it can hit 60 MPH in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 80 MPH. Not too shabby.

If you love WHYY as much as I do and you’re down for a little DIY action, scrape three pennies from your sofa and try building this tiny radio. Full instructions are available and the electronics involved can be had at your local Radio Shack. There’s even instructions on how to make your own batteries out of vinegar and aluminum foil. Insane! You’ve got to check it out if you’ve got a soldering iron and a free weekend.

How many times have you read a comic and found yourself wishing you had a certain super power. Being the sick bastard I am, I always wished I had x-ray vision (the panties are pink, Lois.) Everett Bradford took it upon himself to create a flame-throwing wrist device, and soon to be, cause of his death.

Much like Pyro from X-Men, the Pyro System gives Everett the power to singe your eyebrows and cook BBQ steak from over 10 feet away. It takes him a few swipes to get the bad boy warmed up, but as long as you haven’t ran away in a mad dash after realizing he has a fucking flame thrower on his wrist, your ass is toast. Hit the jump for more video madness and details. (more…)
