‘Tis the season for impromptu picnics and outdoor activities. The problem I have is that most of the times I throw the idea out there for a picnic, I get a lot of disgruntled people saying they’d rather be inside with a comfortable place to sit then be sitting on the dirty ground with bugs crawling all over them. OK, look pussies. Since your precious buttocks can’t accept the fact that nature is part of a great picnic, I’ve got... Continue reading

Taco Bell is delicious. There’s no denying that. Unfortunately the effects that the restaurant’s food has on your digestive system isn’t nearly as appetizing. A meal at Taco Bell has the unique qualities which incite both gas and loose stools. Not a good combination for people who happen to be in public without an extra pair of panties handy.

While GameCube was never my favorite console (I don’t recall ever playing on it much to be honest), I’m always happy to see a portable port of a gaming console that was simply not-so-portable in its original state. The Flip-Top GameCube design by Mike Szczys allows gamers to bring the game wherever they may roam, including under my neighbor’s bed… where I have never, ever been. Especially last night. And I don’t have the cat scratches to prove it. The... Continue reading

Since I haven’t been able to save up just yet for any super-comfy furniture, I always have to contort my body into the weirdest positions in order to both be comfortable and see the screen while I play my PS3. Someone walking in on me would think I was performing some sort of kinky solo Kama Sutra. This awesome PS3 Wireless Visual Interface, designed by Ben Heck protege and forum user techknott, would allow me to sit any which way... Continue reading

I’m not sure why you would lug around an entire bookshelf when you could just throw all of the books on an e-reader and carry around an entire library in your pocket. Maybe that’s the “conceptual” point. Fighting the power! Or something like that. The transportable bookshelf is made using crates originally used to haul fruit. I love, love, love books, but I think in this case I’d prefer the fruit. Plus, I didn’t have any breakfast this morning.
