Lined Paper Pencil Case

Looking for some much needed flash to accompany you in academia? The ultra-realistic Lined Paper Pencil Case is designed to look like a fresh piece of standard lined paper.

The only hazard I could find with this case is that it could easily be confused with a stray scrap of paper and chucked into the trash. Just keep an eye on what you’re writing on or your homework might wind up on your case.

Yup. Exactly what you probably thought. This is an Arduino made from paper instead of using a printed circuit board. Created by DIYer Guilherme, this Arduino is fully functional and is also the most inexpensive Arduino available. Want to design your own? Instructions are indeed available, my friend.

Status Calendar Asks The Golden Question: What Are You Doing Today?

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

status1

Facebook. Twitter. What do they have in common? Not only are they two of the most popular and fastest growing social sites on the net, but they also ask people a very simple question. They both want to know what you are doing. What’s on your mind? That’s awesome if you live a digitally social life, but some people still like to work with paper and keep their daily thoughts private. Don’t ask me why, they just do.

The Status Calendar keeps it simple. One simple question on each dated page. What are you doing today? Such a general question will spark your brain into action and set a mood of productivity for the rest of your day. More photo love after the jumperoni. (more…)

As a student, I can’t tell you how big of a pain it is when you spend all weekend writing up a report, only to forget to staple it on the day you need to hand it in. You end up running around, classroom to classroom, searching high and low for a stapler to use. No more! Yanko Design showcases this die-cut paper that holds the corners together when they’re folded over. Now you need not worry about stapling or your teacher losing your paper. What genius!

Left 4 Dead Papercraft Tank

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Gaming

I like killing zombies. I also enjoy Half-Life. On the other hand, seeing this papercraft Tank inspired by Valve’s latest multiplayer zombie-fest, Left 4 Dead, makes me wish I was confronted by a real life Tank face-to-face so it can bash my skull in rather than me crafting a model of it out of paper. Look how shapeless and thin it is compared to the actual Tank in the game! Still, I’ll take what I can get.

If you haven’t played Left 4 Dead, shame on you. You think Resident Evil 5 is going to be better?

DIY: Paper Airplane Launcher

Filed under: DIYs, Design

Now, this is interesting. An electric paper plane launcher kit that you put together yourself. Too bad the entire point of crafting a paper airplane is to wing it at someones head. With this launcher, you not only miss out on choosing your targets, but you also waste precious time building it. Time that’s better spent putting together more paper airplanes for your paper air force. Please, don’t spend $16 dollars on this thing. Just look at it and laugh. Revel in the fact that it’s produced by some 3M ripoff company called 4M.

Paper Turkey For Vegan’s Giving Thanks

Filed under: Design, Household

Even if you’re a vegan and you keep clear of any consumables that at one time were living, breathing creatures, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the great American holiday that is Thanksgiving.

Does the sight of a stuffed and beheaded turkey on your table disturb you? Then decorate your Thanksgiving dinner table with a papercraft turkey. It’s fun because, much like a real turkey, you get to prepare it yourself. What makes it better is you don’t have to deal with pulling out different body parts from the turkey’s rectum. It’s all paper for you vegans. Well, it’s either that or a tofu shaped turkey.

Here at Gearfuse, we can never fulfill our monthly quota of toilet paper related posts, but boy do we try.

Speaking of toilet paper, one can never have enough toilet paper holders.

Here’s a bathroom buddy kindly providing you with pampering services while it, too relieves itself on the John. It’s a hand-made, 7-inch tall sculpture which possesses a keen likeness to robots. Necessities of life don’t come cheap, however. With a price of $95.97 - wait a minute! $95.97!? Holy moly! Ah hell, we’ll buy it anyway. We love robot toilet paper holders.

Klypsos, A New Use For The Paper Clip

Filed under: Design, Household

When you’re at a kicking party that’s got a ton of free wine and hors d’oeuvres, your hands are bound to be full. With this re-imagined paper clip, however, holding a glass of wine with your dish full of appetizers will leave your other hand free to shake hands and/or grab asses.

The Polish design studio Razy2 is calling this paper clip the Kylpsos. Designed by Paulina Krauza and Jacek Ryn, two party freaks who can never have enough free hands for ass grabbing. With a free hand, picking your nose at parties is no longer problematic. At least for me.
