While it might not be quite hot enough to melt us humans into bubbling piles just yet, summer temperatures can make us feel like our skin is literally falling from our bones. These groovy Melting Sunglasses by Anna Ter Haar feel our pain and they illustrate it perfectly.
The faux-drips of plastic add a touch of ironic hipness which goes unmatched by most other designs.
During the day, you’re all business. Not even the slightest “woot” escapes the depths of your icy cold lungs. But at night, after your shift, you like to unwind a bit. Ya know, get a little freaky-deaky. Maybe drop by a club and drink a little bub? But your business suit makes you look like a square, or even worse, a parent.
Twisted Ties allow you to be all business for your day job and then become the party’s clown with just a swivel of your neckware. Available in an assortment of designs, the Twisted Ties are great for the executive who lives a secret double life. You can get your own for about $22 from Spinning Hat. Check out a few more of the tie designs after the jump.
Some people who play World Of Warcraft have more friends in-game than in the real world. Typically, when one has built up enough friends online, they form a guild. Once everyone has decided on a guild tabard, it’s time to show off a little guild pride by flaunting the virtual garment around a virtual city.
But what if your guild tabard wasn’t a virtual garment? What if it were as real as any other shirt? That’s the idea behind the custom World Of Warcraft tabard creator. It’s a program that lets you design your own one-of-a-kind t-shirt which displays your guild name, your specific tabard design, your character name, realm name, race and class. That way, if you ever happen to run in to a fellow guildie out in the real world, you two won’t be strangers.
You’re running out of time to come up with an original costume idea for Halloween. Luckily,
Kevin at the Craineum’s blog is making a Megaman costume for his son and he’s letting everyone know how it’s done. He’s written up detailed instructions on making your own, for your own kid.
Don’t got a kid? You’re not squeezing your ass into this thing, but maybe with some tailoring skills and a few adjustments you can make one that’s your size. Check out that megabuster arm cannon, it lights up!

Jim Lynch over at Extreme Tech wrote a funny post we just couldn’t ignore. Almost the entire column goes over how much Steve Jobs is in dire need of a wardrobe intervention. All of his clothes are either too short or too baggy due to his recent loss of weight. C’mon Steve, you’ve got cash, you can afford leather. Anything but those horrid workout clothes you’re always sporting. What would you want to see Steve in? Pierre Cardin? BOSS?
See this patch that looks like it belongs on a messenger bag from 1994, right next to that goofy Nirvana logo? Good. First off, it’s not a patch like on your mommy’s quilt, it’s a P8tch. It features a special barcode that your cellphone (possibly) can scan. When scanned, the “patch” takes you to the URL of your choice. Have a popular tech blog you want people to know about? Need MILF Hunter readily available from wherever you are? This is your solution. And cheap it is not. One of these URL-encoded P8tches will run you $20 + shipping from the UK. Fucking brilliant.
