Centipedes are fucking gross. They squirm around on the floor and scare the shit out of chicks. I’d say a centipede is good for nothing except shitty ’80s video games but I’d be wrong. Seems there is a freaky centipede-inspired lamp you can own for $2600. I can’t tell how big the actual lamp is because the photo has nothing in the foreground for scale but one thing’s for sure: you are not getting laid with this thing next to your bed.
The elusive Cloverfield monster was the talk of the town over the last few months thanks for J.J. Abrams elusive viral marketing. When we received a leaked clip of the Cloverfield monster a few days before the movie was released, we didn’t see anything that indicated that the monster was an albino.
Though according to the revelation of the Cloverfield action figure, apparently the monster had just gotten back from a Caribbean vacation or something when the film was in production. The monster at least looks pretty icky, though not in the “I just shit my pants” way as it was portrayed in the movie. The 14″ figure itself comes with two interchangeable heads, realistic sound, an impressive 70 points of articulation and 10 of the in-movie parasites. Available for $99. (more…)
While we haven’t covered anything involving the massive internet hysteria that has been caused by the J.J. Abrams produced Cloverfield, we’ve been following the viral stuff and all of the hype behind the scenes. Today, we bring to you a very real screenshot animation of the Cloverfield monster. Let the blogosphere unleash its wrath! Hit the jump for the full spoiler animation. You’ve been warned! (more…)
We’ve seen some inventive camera stabilizers, including the Spiderbrace Camera Stabilizer and the Mini Camera Stand, but how about one that acts as an adhesive device? The Monster Pod uses a “patented viscoelastic polymer base”, which is scientific talk for a special adhering plastic.
While I wouldn’t dare place my expensive DSLR Digital Rebel camera on this thing, a nice little point-and-shoot would work just fine to capture a nice picture without the need of a stranger. Though my mommy says I still shouldn’t be left unattended, so I should have someone with me anyway. Available for $30, or you can make your own out of a tennis ball for practically nothing. — Andrew Dobrow
No doubt about it. Buying your first LCD screen is an enlightening experience. While testing the product at the store, your mouth salivates with anticipation and awe at the clear color. Once you’ve made the decision to own one of these flatscreen suckers, the trouble begins. How do you hang the damn thing up without losing your pride and asking a handyman to do it? The Monster PowerMount (shown at CES 2007) puts the power of the handyman in your grasps, creating this useful contraption that makes DIY LCD installment a simple task. While the mount only works on LCDs up to 24 inches, the PowerMount has a built in cable management system to ensure no dangling or misplaced wires, not to mention a lower risk of tangling. While mounting the LCD still does involve work and effort, it at least can be done as a DIY project, with the ending result being a rousing success. — Andrew Dobrow
