Soccer, football, futbol, tomato, tomahto (who the hell says tomahto anyway? Is it you ya friggen Canadians?) Whichever name you choose for the sport, there is no denying that it’s a fun game. If you’ve ever been in a situation where you wish you had grabbed a ball before you left home, Marti Guixe’s Football Tape might be a nice ...

Spotted at BKLYN Designs 2009, this Tennis Ball Chair (oddly not the first piece of tennis ball furniture we’ve seen) would fit awesome into the decor of a sports bar or bachelor pad. Sure, not the manliest sport ever, but a chair made out of footballs would hardly be comfortable. Link

I can understand poverty. I’m a two-bit blogger who lives in public housing. But what I can’t understand is why a woman with so many children that she apparently “didn’t know what to do” with all of them, would live in a damn shoe. Couldn’t she find something that was a little less likely to cause her children to get ...

No, not the nose candy, you deviant. Rather than seem like we’re incredibly biased when it comes to soda, check out these summer-inspired cans from Coca-Cola.

As much as I would hate to share a hobby with my grandmother, this urban knitting graffiti project, Knitta Please, is almost cool enough for me to take up knitting. I said almost cool enough. A whole tree covered with a surface which resembles that scarf your aunt made you that one year. Now that’s taking crafting to a whole ...

In other words, this is a rock made for the kitchen. Embrace your instinctive caveman nature and just bash and grind the living hell out of your food. It might not be as rugged as just grabbing a big rock from the wild, but it’s surely more manly than using a porcelain mortar and pestle. For $43 you could do ...

Any boy looking to relive his days of playing with model train sets will be excited to know there’s now an option for us working adults. This working train set is set inside an elegant briefcase, ensuring portability and anonymity no matter the location. Little figures adorn the landscape as the train keeps a’ rollin’, all night long. The only ...

Here’s a little known fact that most people have no clue about: Back in the day, when Apple was working on a new computer model, the prototypes before mass production would feature clear, translucent casing. Don’t believe me? Fire up that DVD player and go watch Hackers. Angelina Jolie uses a clear-plastic Powerbook in the movie. And this Mac SE/30? ...
