I bet you’re wondering why Geordi LaForge was always so glum. If you’ve ever gotten a scratch on your cornea, you’d know how painful it can be. Thankfully, researchers at Stanford University have developed a new artificial cornea. I’m not talking about eyeball lamps either, these are real corneas for real eyeballs. Animal studies incorporating the cornea are showing promise, ...

We’ve seen a lot of neat stuff made with the Arduino processor, like that Mad Hatter top hat or the gigantic keyboard. With the infinite possibilities the Arduino offers, where are all the games made for this development platform? Enter the ArduGame, a hand held device that runs a small game that has yet to be named.

Using that 1989 GT Mach One with a rusty chain isn’t going to get you any ladies. I think it’s time you upgraded your ride to a simple road bike. It doesn’t matter what it looks like, because once you get one for dirt cheap, you’re going to re-do it at Geekhouse. For a fee, the company will use a ...

It may seem like we’re acid heads with our tribute to Albert Hofmann but the truth of the matter is: we don’t love LSD, we merely enjoy taking it.

Yup. You read correctly. You, sirs, are staring at a brand-spankin’ new Xbox 360 from Taiwan. The catch? It’s an extremely limited edition The Dark Knight Xbox 360. Kind of like getting a BJ from Megan Fox while Michael Jordan high fives you. Good luck getting your own. You may very well end up making your own. Link

The company that could turn your iPod or laptop any color is back and offering the iPhone 3G in exciting new colors. No longer are you limited to a black or white iPhone 3G purchase. Now you can plunk down $150 extra and get a wacky neon green paint job. It’s similar to T-Mobile’s skinning service except not affordable in ...

The classic story of “The Tortoise and the Hare” comes to life on this clock by Ignacio Pilotto. The “race” hand is for the hours and spins around slowest of them all. The minute hand is of course the tortoise, making a slow but moderate pace around the face of the clock. Lastly, we have the hare. Fast and always ...
