When I was a kid, there was no such thing as bone or muscle. Everything inside the body was considered guts. When a head exploded, guts exploded out with it. Shot in the knee? Out come the guts. These Shoe Guts were designed by Sara Antoinette Martin for the book “Custom Kicks.” See… I was right. Feet totally have guts. ...

Facebook has had the same basic design for at least a few years now. There have been small changes along the way, but for the most part, the last few years for Facebook have remained pretty standard — news feed, images and link sharing. Some might say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but artist Barton Smith is under ...

A festering wound isn’t exactly your sure-fire ticket into the local country club. Being covered in bandages just doesn’t lend itself to your all-around hygiene. Luckily, even if your wound was infected and leaking, these Mustache Bandages add that extra touch of class that might just lead the club owner to forget all about a little pus. I never thought ...

The last few years, around Halloween,� Domo has been pushed and promoted like crazy. Last year at Target, this year at 7-Eleven, it seems like 2009 is no exception. ...

The E-Rope concept turns each socket into a modular cube, which allows for assembly into any shape with any number of strips. E-Rope also helps cut-down on energy consumption. Even when a plug is plugged into the E-Rope socket, ...

For people who just can’t decide on an interior color scheme. This Pantone Printed Leather Chair shows off Sif Technology’s ability to print color onto leather. Unfortunately, these chairs aren’t available for purchase. Come on, why is it always the coolest shit that never sees the light of day? High-production cost. Link
