Mattress Wallet

mattress_wallet

The Mattress Wallet not only holds your money, but also provides that mouse in your pocket with a great place to sleep.

Don’t feel like spending the rest of your life in prison? Then you’d best leave that “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tag exactly where it is, even if it does bulge from your pocket. What’s with those tags anyway? I bet it’s some tracking device. Can’t they let me live in peace? LEAVE ME ALONE! THE VOICES! THEY WON’T STOP! AHHH!

Diamond Chess Set is Too Opulent for Opulence

royal_diamond_chess1

Featuring a ridiculous 9900 black and white diamonds, this Diamond Chess Set goes beyond opulence and skips right to “I’m so rich I use hundreds as toilet paper” and “I eat diamond encrusted cupcakes” money.

The $224,000 price tag actually seems sort of low considering the crazy amount of craftmanship and the thousands of gems installed in the set. 4500 hours of artisanship was poured into this thing. Reasonable is pushing it. More stuff you will never have a chance to own.

The Life Lessons of Super Mario Bros.

money-power-women-mario-shirt

Within those hours upon hours of playing around with Super Mario Bros. we figured there must have been some sort of life lesson. We convinced our parents that the game was teaching us indispensable hand-eye coordination skills. But there was another hidden message that, unbeknown to us, would teach us all we needed to know for our adult years.

The Money, Power, Woman Mario shirt illustrates just how the progress of life works. Much like the wise-woman Lil’ Kim once said “First you get the muthafuckin’ money, then you get the mothafuckin’ powah.” Now, third, she said you get respect. But screw respect. We want some poon-tang.

Vintage Money Bag Wallet

moneybag1

You can’t get much more authentic than this. These Money Bag Wallets are made of authentic old-timey vintage money bags. The same type of bag you can see thieves swipe from the back of an armored vehicle in those brand new “moving pictures” I’ve been hearing so much about.

The product page warns that some of the bags do show signs of their age, though are all together in great shape. Grab your own for $35 from Etsy.

You don’t need a degree in economic theory to feel the strain of the economy. Just check your mutual funds. Check your stocks. Hell, check your damn wallet. The strain is bound to make our hair fallout.

Seems like our currency has felt it the most. Even the images of our forefathers are looking a little stressed out. Need some help guys? Hit the jump for tons more bald action.

Laser-etched Currency

Scott Campbell has a laser-etching machine and a lot of cash to blow. Know how I can tell? The sonofabitch took a bunch of ones (c’mon, go for the Benjamins), stacked them up and cut them into various designs. I love the skull. The best part is the name he came up with for his series of art: Make It Rain.

Shoot Hoops With Dwayne Wade For A Shot At $50,000

dwaynewade

I’m not a huge basketball fan (NFL 4 LIFE) but I know a good player when I see one. Dwayne Wade? Yeah, I guess he’s OK. You know, he’s only like the fucking master of the universe when it comes to dunking. That’s why anyone stepping within 1000 feet of the Eastern Conference finals is going batshit right now.

And speaking of going batshit nuts, did I mention you can play HORSE against Wade for a chance to win $50,000? T-Mobile has the big bucks from G1 sales and is more than willing to pay up if you beat him. Better step your game up, kid, ’cause you’re going to need it.

All the details and then some after the jump! Get it? Jump?

Monopoly Package Redesign

Rich Uncle Pennybags is very pleased with this new Monopoly set designed by Andy Mangold. Look at the packaging, the card holders, the lines of hotels and such; it’s quite the work of art. I love the rustic look the box gives off of a traditional board game. You know, the kind before mass-produced plastic, etc.

The final package is just over 10″ x 10″ x 1.5″ and includes smaller containers for all of the various pieces and cards and a laser-cut holder for all of the houses and hotels. Quite impressive, Andy. We just wish this was the version you could purchase on store shelves. Hit the jump for some more exquisite photos of the game.

Now This Is How You Thwart Piracy

Cracking software and generating serial numbers is nothing new. But what happens when a developer catches on and decides to play fun with you? Such is the case with USB Overdrive X. Enter a stolen or pirated serial number and this message will be displayed by the developer. An excellent point is made here: the little guy is getting hurt. This isn’t Adobe or Apple, this is an independent developer trying to feed his family.

I recently wrote about some software I actually paid out of pocket for. You should too if you’re running Bit Torrent 24/7.

Shock and Awe: CD Sales Down, Digital Sales Up

Get ready for some news that will blow your fucking mind. Ready? CD sales are down. I know! Down? How could this be? The execs at Atlantic Records feel the same way. Seems during Q4, Atlantic Records had 51% of all sales come from non-physical sources like iTunes sales and ringtones. The New York Times found it “shocking,” so what does this mean for us? It means more and more people are transitioning to iPods and MP3s over Walkman and CDs.

NBC Universal’s Jeff Zucker sums it up nicely, calling the transition “trading analog dollars for digital pennies.” Touche.
