Laser Crosswalk Saves Pedestrians From a Painful Death

When the light turns red, a huge laser wall projecting apparitions of crossing pedestrians spans across the crosswalk. The concept is designed to keep crossing pedestrians safe from any overzealous drivers who otherwise might have ran the red light.

Prankster Screws with Crosswalk LEDs

This has to be one of the best street pranks ever. Spotted on the streets of Manhattan, some urban prankster had the ingenious idea of altering the “stop” hand of a traditional crosswalk light to resemble a hand flipping the bird instead. Want to cross the street? Fuck off! No really, just go away. Viva las vandalism! This is so New York City. Link [via]

Wooden Knuckle Duster Provides Perfect Non-lethal Takedown

Forget brass knuckles. Are you honestly trying to kill somebody? Of course not. So instead, try these wooden knuckles. It won’t split a persons skull in two, but it’ll leave some splinters and a few bruises. What more would you expect from a wooden knuckle duster? Now, if you just so happen to hit someone whose 21 Jump Street, you better haul ass or you’ll be spending the next twenty years in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. It’s a good thing wood...

A Blast From The Past Of Geekiness

I can’t get enough of corny retro video game commercials.  When I saw this Street Fighter 2 Turbo promotional video posted on Dooby Brain, I just had to share it here.  It reminds me of the better times in my life, when wearing cardigan sweaters and listening to Nirvana was cool. If you pay close attention to the video, ignoring the overly rhapsodic attitude of the asshole in the blue baseball cap adorned in reverse, then you can pick up... Continue reading

Welcome To Prime Time, Bitch

You’ll go nowhere with retro gamer belt buckles or a Darth Vader belt, but with a Freddy Krueger glove as your belt buckle, you’ll go straight to hell. Be sure to tell them that Freddy sent ya, if they couldn’t already guess it by glancing at your waist. $40 for a belt buckle might seem steep at first, but this is Freddy we’re talking about it. If you don’t get it, he’ll haunt you in your dreams or some shit.... Continue reading

Invisible Streetlight Is Very Visible

In your neighborhood, you may have noticed that the street lights can be almost as horrendous looking as the telephone lines. Designer Jongoh Lee must’ve been disgusted by the intrusion on mother nature for having come up with these solar powered street lights that imitate leaves, called Invisible Streetlight. The lights are comprised of a double injection of silicon, aluminum materials and a photocapacitor, which keeps it glowing all night long. While it’s by no means a bloomin’ dildo light...

Element Push Deck Rides Like A Beauty

Remember that carbon fiber Element Push deck? We were impressed by the craftsmanship of the board, so the folks at Element sent us one to check out. Specifically, the Atchley Stealth. The precise manufacturing that goes into making this deck is incredible and I’m glad we got our chance to take it for a test ride. We’ve even got a video showing the board off with my brother David varial kick-flipping and doing what I like to call the “hot... Continue reading

Pimp out ALL your cellphones in Taiwanese style

When we saw the BenQ-Siemens’ over-pimped EF-71 phone, we thought it was a joke. It wasn’t until Samsung announced collaboration with Swarovski then we realized there’s an actual market need. The Taiwanese just can’t seem to wait for those phones to come out, so they started Blinging up their own phones with fancy stickers, and they have to stick them -all-over- the phone. You can pretty much find them everywhere in Taiwan by now, the most expensive ones would be those made with Swarovski crystals. Jump...

City puts LEDs in street lights

A special city in the US has replaced some of its street lights with LED lights. What city might this be you ask? Well it happens to be Ann Arbor, Michigan, home of the famous University of Michigan Wolverines. Why are they so famous? Well, they just got demolished by USC (go Trojans!) in the Rose Bowl on January 1st in Pasadena. Sorry, that was my little rant on putting down Michigan because I am a USC fan. Anyways, Ann...
