Erik Olofson is probably the coolest dad a kid could ask for. He’s a craftsman by trade and owns Big Cozy Books, a company that’s going to make a fortune off your kids. BCB designs and manufactures huge book-themed furniture that is intricately detailed and very swanky. Don’t show your children or they’ll be begging you for one until they’re ...

BMW’s new concept car �GINA Light Visionary Model� is remarkably innovative. It’s a shape-shifting car covered with seamless fabric stretched over a movable metal frame that allowing the driver to change the car’s form at will. The fabric is water resistant and durable. However, setting fire to it is a different story. There are no plans for the fabric-enveloped car ...

Reading in bed just isn’t my thing. I tend to be that dude with the laptop watching YouTube videos until 3:00AM. Fortunately, there’s plenty of people who do read in bed, creating a lucrative market for light-up book covers everywhere. But why shell out $14.95 to Borders when they’re not even going to bother to order Vaginal Release, Volume 4 ...

This basic iPhone case is the shit and I’ll explain to you why: You see, it’s modeled after a chocolate bar. And while it’s not real, delicious chocolate, it’s certainly the precursor to a prank that will be played on you constantly. By purchasing this $30 case, you’re basically begging your friends to offer you a piece of chocolate when ...

There’s not a lot known about this delicious looking chocolate cupcake other than three things: 1. It was designed by Judith Leiber. 2. It is jewel-encrusted and full of diamonds. 3. It costs $4295. Now I believe it acts as an evening bag, so again, I’m assuming most women are throwing things like lipstick, tampons, money and a whole lot ...

After a long day of Apple announcements, I like to kick back and lounge. Like any sane person, I enjoy my lounging in a chair and this LAMI chair from designer Javier Cristiani is just what the doctor ordered. Made from 100% “standard metal components” and some cheap fabric, the LAMI screams “Europe” to everyone on the beach. It’s made ...

Flickr user Agustina loves her felt and possibly robots. And while Felt Robots are cool, we want fire-breathing, horseback riding, begging, swimming, cooking, killer robots that come equipped with the ability to give us hand jobs. While it might not be a traditional, metal robot, Agustina’s felt robots really reflect what DIY is all about. Sometimes you have to reinterpret ...

The next time your girlfriend refuses to cook you breakfast, grab her by the throat, choke slam her like Hulk Hogan and tell her, “Go ahead, make my coffee.” She’ll roll her eyes and kick you in the nuts as you pretend to act like Clint did in “Dirty Harry”. Though you might not possess the same charisma as Mr. ...

If you can tear yourself away from that caviar-stuffed omelette for a second, I’ll be glad to show you a beautiful lamp. A lamp so beautiful, it isn’t comprised of gold or rubies. No, this is a lamp made from 121 recycled plastic knives. Yes, like the kind you get at Sea World. Made by the BVD Collective, the knives ...

It’s June 9th and Steve Jobs is going to give a lot of geeks a hard-on today. The big rumor spreading around the web is that a 3G iPhone will be released and while I don’t doubt this at all, many sites have been publishing fake Apple photos left and right. Let’s take a look at some of the photos ...
