Artists Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic decided that YouTube just wasn’t getting enough press on its own, so they took it upon themselves to create artistic sketches of popular YouTube videos. The duo took classic frames from the videos and immortalized them by drawing them on paper which will disintegrate way before the fiberoptic cables of the internet. The internet ...

Murder Ink is not your average notepad and is certainly not for the weak at heart. Meant for only your most evil of memos and most sinister of grocery lists, the Murder Ink Notebook leaves a bloody surprise for your loved ones or co-workers. Depending on where you work this might not go over as well. If you work in ...

Designed by illustrator Cliff Chiang, these reimagined album covers feature classic comic book heroes, though I like how these heroes aren’t the overplayed, traditionally spotted comic heroes.

While I’ll probably never be able to afford a real Lamborghini on my meager blogger’s salary, if I save up every paycheck, and every other Lambo fanatic somehow goes completely broke over the next few decades or so, than I might be able to save up enough for Benedict Radcliffe’s $65,000 Wireframe Lambo. All I want is bragging rights. Is ...

While hard copy books might be on their way out with the increasing popularity of e-Readers and digital reading, most people are still stuck in the olden days of just plain reading a book. The great thing about the Kindle and other e-Readers is that the devices always save your spot, even if you have to drop the reader in ...

Playing the Mario theme song will never be the same once you’ve plucked it away on the Koopa Troopa Guitar. Now we just need a 1Up Mushroom ukulele and our geeky instrumentation will be complete. It’s now mandatory for everyone who reads our site to know the Super Mario Bros. theme song. If you don’t, please leave now. Thank you. ...

No crazy technical knowledge needed. It’s sort of like a software packing jackolantern. So you can tell people you’re a master Photoshop masker, even if you never even touched the actual application. I so know what I’m being for Halloween next year. Link [via]

Based on the iconic design of the Terran’s Battlecruiser unit in Starcraft, this LEGO brick piece of sci-fi gaming culture was created by Flickr user Jerac. Seeing the old Battlecruiser again brings back bittersweet memories. So much fun, so much time gone. Were all the wasted hours worth it? Just ask my competitors. Yo’ goin’ down Zerg-y-poo. Link [via]
