Now, here’s something worth kneeling down to: The Portland, Oregon based arcade known as Ground Kontrol crafted this impressive stained-glass window inspired by the classic arcade game Dig-Dug.
Now you’re wondering what makes it cooler than your own MAME arcade cabinet? Simple: it offers gaming salvation for those who are damned to spend eternity in the fiery pits of torment (translation: it’s a safe alternative to the Wii).
Your house plants are withering. You have two options: put them out in the sun or build a gigantic robotic arm that takes up half of your living space. Lively plants at the cost of sleeping in the bathtub doesn’t sound too bad either.
The Bartlett School of Architecture showcased their “Experiments in Time” exhibit, which included this steel monstrosity strapped with an Arduino Lilypad controller to tilt a disc into sunlight. Seriously, all you have to do is pick your house plants up, walk outside and place them down on the ground. You’ll be set, they’ll be healthy and you get to spend the night in your bed without sharing rent with a robotic arm.
Editor’s Note: SEATTLE!!
When my pet used to jerk around in his sleep, I always wondered whether pets had the same types of dreams and aspirations as humans. Maybe dreams about space exploration? If our mutt’s dream of astronautical ventures, the only proper thing for us as their human masters to do, is to cater to those needs with the Pet Peek.
The Pet Peek gives your doggy an acrylic plastic bubble, in a very 50’s style sci-fi design, to stick his snout through and explore the unknown of your next door neighbors lawn. For $30, it’s not that much of a price to pay to give your doggy their dream. — Andrew Dobrow
