Vince’s roommate is really in to Kidrobot‘s Munny dolls. For those not familiar, they’re blank “Do-it-Yourself” vinyl figures which can be decorated any way you see fit. When I’m not ruining Vince’s roommates Mini Munny designs, I’m busy searching for Star Wars Munnys like the one toy customizer and 3D artist for Avalanche Studios, Squapper, has made. It’s a Tusken ...

You know, this is a sweet mockup or whatever, but I’ve got a few issues with said cellphone gun. First off, it appears to be using a Nokia from 1998. Where is the functionality in that? Secondly, no touchscreen? Good luck selling it in today’s market. Lastly, look where the mic and headset are placed. I sense that many a ...

Merry Christmas! What? It’s not Christmas yet? Forgive me, I’m Jewish. Here’s a nativity scene done with Star Wars LEGOs that brightened my day. Luke and Leia are collectively baby Jesus and even the infamous IG-88 makes an appearance. The creator of this nativity scene, Larry Lars, advises that anyone trying make their own should “find balance” between the traditional ...

The desk is called Deborah and with curves like these, you’ll be falling in love with her the minute you plunk down half your savings on her. I wonder where they get the airplane ...

Feeling under the weather? Snap up one of these handmade Hot Water Bottle bags. They’re part messenger bag, part water bottle left over from Germany’s Federal Defense Force from the 1960s. Though a bit expensive at $160, you’ve got to remember that this is handmade and made from quality materials. I’d prefer if it were made from the skin of ...

We usually aren’t big on rumors around here, especially those associated with Apple, but this iPhone Nano concept spyshot looks pretty promising. Apple loves to shrink products down over different lifecycles and it makes sense to keep the iPhone hot since it’s without a doubt Apple’s hottest product. Is it photoshopped? Probably, but if an iPhone Nano drops it’d be ...

Here’s a bitchin’ application for Adobe Flash/Flex developers. It’s called MoteDaemon and it’s kind of like Matt Damon except it allows you to create Wiimote-controlled applications for OS X. Now, you too can create your very own sub par Nintendo Wii games for your Mac. To make your experience of making lousy games for old people and kids even easier, ...

Alright, alright, you got me. The base is made out of concrete but these lamps are still cool as hell. Perfect for ambient lighting in your game room or for a nightclub/bar. There’s even a guide on building your own should you be up for the challenge. The body of the lap is formed by two thin rods folded in ...

My buddy Peter Wang made this path finding robot using a PIC16F876 chip. The interface is done with WinPic software uploaded via serial port. The robot detects obstacles in its path, moves towards them and then avoids them by going around them or by going in the opposite direction. It’s run by four AA batteries which power three motors and ...
