A simple gadget like Wall Cleats means you don’t have to buy an outlet, plus ...

If Evel Knievel had known about something like this Lifebag, who knows how many more brain cells he’d have left. Made for those into extreme sports (and possibly for those little bus riding helmet wearers I use to make fun of in school), the Lifebag is manually deployed, much like a parachute, producing a 150-liter shield in less than three ...

Designed by Dominic Wilcox as part of his New Work collection, these Anti-Theft Sticker Tattoos make your car look like they are already on the verge of rusting over.

Sanyo has announced their concept phone that runs off of a Sanyo Eneloop AA battery (which can be checked for power by the Dog Battery Checker).

If Pencil Jewelery wasn’t geeky enough, how about a bracelet that can control your devices? The Orbit Remote gives a dash of femininity to the masculine facade of the remote control.

Here’s another cool new design hybrid, using old technology as the basis. VinylDisc is a dual sided format with one side featuring three-minutes of vinyl goodness, with the other side featuring a standard 70 minute CD. Other than posing a great way to compare digital and analog technologies, VinylDisc is a stroke of genius on the face of two endangered ...

These toys made by Sang Won Sung (not to be confused with twin brother Sing Two Singing), are made from bits of other recycled toys (and some assorted household objects), creating odd, and sometimes eerie looking toy models. The two boys pictured above are aptly named “bull” and “elk”, both of their faces made with the recycled torso of a ...

The best way for us nerds to score chicks is to focus on ladies that have mobility problems. In other words, trouble running away from our squealing voices. Instead of focusing on paraplegics (as sexy as they are), this Life-sized Princess Leia model has nowhere to run, and couldn’t run even if she did have somewhere to run too. With ...
