DO WANT!: Ewok Plushy

My favorite little fluff balls from Return of the Jedi get the plushy treatment thanks to Craftster user gammerus’s immortalization of the Ewok. I don’t only want one of these… I need one. Sure, the proportions aren’t 100% accurate and they probably don’t have that same fresh Ewok smell, but it’s about as close as you’ll get without delving into ...

Internet Explorer Voodoo Doll

With the ever-expanding usage of Google Chrome and with Firefox still chugging along, voodoo was probably the last thing that Internet Explorer needed. IE needs all the help it can get, but it certainly isn’t getting it from this follower of voodoo, who apparently is not a happy camper. This is what happens when you make a browser that has ...

Instructables user noahw put together this insanely awesome DIY project, teaching us how to create our very own Wooly Willy Table. Those of us who remember playing with Wooly Willy or similar incarnations in our childhood know that even though the concept of moving around iron flakes with a magic magnet wand might seem too simple, it’s strangely addicting.

AT-TE Walker LEGO iPhone Dock

Inspired by the AT-TE Walkers from the Star Wars universe, this iPhone dock is composed of an assortment of LEGO bricks. Creator Chris Harrison’s obsession with his iPhone, Star Wars and caffeine led to the creation of one of the coolest iPhone docks we’ve seen yet (though any dock is going to be hard pressed to beat the Dinosaur Dock). ...

GameCube Portable: The Flip-Top GameCube Might as Well Have Legs

While GameCube was never my favorite console (I don’t recall ever playing on it much to be honest), I’m always happy to see a portable port of a gaming console that was simply not-so-portable in its original state. The Flip-Top GameCube design by Mike Szczys allows gamers to bring the game wherever they may roam, including under my neighbor’s bed… ...

Ben Heck’s Bill Paxton Pinball Machine is Finally Finished

After nearly four years of solid effort, nearly all of which is documented on his site, Ben Heck has finished his Bill Paxton Pinball machine. Based on the “endlessly quotable films of Bill Paxton,” the pinball machine was manufactured completely and utterly from scratch by the Heck-man himself, aside from a few stock items, such as the flippers. It is ...

Steve Jobs Cheese Head is Actually Pretty Creepy

The second I saw this head I couldn’t help but be reminded of Hannibal Lector and his preference for dining on human flesh. This is almost too realistic to eat, unlike the orange-yellow Cheddar color of the Lincoln Cheese bust. Something tells me I’d get that weird, uncanny feeling when it came time to dig in to the Steve Jobs ...

Super Mario Mosaic Made Out of Toast

While I’m usually an ardent protestor against the waste of perfectly good bread, this Super Mario Toast Mosaic is a definite exception. Even if no one is going to eat the burned pieces, the waste of food was totally worth the photo op. Check out the creative use of the bun-shaped pieces for the buttons of Mario’s overalls. Now all ...
