Extreme Papercraft: Frabjous

Created by Professor George W. Hart of SUNY Stony Brook, this is a papercraft work of art/puzzle that’s guaranteed to blow your mind. It’s called Frabjous and it’s made of 30 pieces of cardboard interwoven together. George was nice enough to make a PDF file for the rest of us who want to make one and solve it. Putting it ...

LED Bottle Wall

Alex Beim must be a heavy drinker, ’cause I have no idea how he got so many empty bottles for his project. The LED Bottle Wall is a sight that seems appropriate for a Disney World attraction. Slews of LED lights penetrate the reflective surface of the bottles, creating an luminary effect that’s unmatched by Pink Floyd. Link

Has everyone in North Carolina lost their sense of humor? It certainly wouldn’t surprise me. A North Carolina State University student named Joseph Carnevale was charged with larceny for creating a monster on the side of the road. He used a bunch of construction barrels and lights to make it. Look at how cool that thing is! While I understand ...

Incredible R-Type Model

Now this is a true work of art. Picasso and Da Vinci are incredibly overrated anyway. Real art comes from passion, which in this case is Jim Rossignol’s model of the third stage boss from R-Type.

JBL has always been a purveyor of fine audio, which makes total sense considering its parent company is Harmon Kardon. A few years back, I reviewed some Reference 220 earbud headphones, which were affordable and sounded great on the iPod. This time around, JBL has teamed up with Quiksilver’s surfin’ sister company Roxy on a line of headphones that are ...

Handbags Made From Hardbacks: Talk About Chick Lit

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Unless, of course, the cover is all that remains of the poor thing. Look… I love books. Not only the actual reading process, but the actual aesthetic of print. It pains me to see pages ripped out of a hardback for fashion’s sake. Even if the novel happens to be a wimpy Nancy ...
