Look, I don’t know about you, but waveforms are the hottest thing on the planet right now. Everyone is rushing to Target and Walmart in an effort to get as many waveforms off the shelf as humanly possible. And while you’re at it, you might as well build one of these DIY oscilloscopes. They won’t rape your wallet and look ...

Using some scrap wood he had lying around, Seamster set forth and built his very own pinball table. Complete with working paddles, it uses an old mouse tracking ball and has plenty of ramps and other bonuses, just like the arcade version of the game. It’s not an easy build but there’s an Instructable available should you have the courage ...

Yup. Exactly what you probably thought. This is an Arduino made from paper instead of using a printed circuit board. Created by DIYer Guilherme, this Arduino is fully functional and is also the most inexpensive Arduino available. Want to design your own? Instructions are indeed available, my friend. Link [via]

Ok, so 3D Realms is pretty much dead. R.I.P. We can only assume that the long-rumored and partially-developed Duke Nukem Forever died with it. I’m not quite sure if anyone actually knew how far along the game was in its development. But if these renderings are any sort of clue, the game would have kicked ass. Former 3D Realms Art ...

As much as I would hate to share a hobby with my grandmother, this urban knitting graffiti project, Knitta Please, is almost cool enough for me to take up knitting. I said almost cool enough. A whole tree covered with a surface which resembles that scarf your aunt made you that one year. Now that’s taking crafting to a whole ...

Excuse the pun, but do Apple fans really give a “hoot” about owls? Sure, I suppose this Earbud Owl, made using a Epilog Zing laser cutter, does resemble the uber-geeky “O RLY?” macro, but that’s� about the furthest I can go with owl geekiness until I reach the point of obliviousness. Admittedly, this is a pretty neat idea. The owl’s ...

Oh, man. The transformation is complete. Barbie is now officially inked. The oldest teenager in the world (can you say “mid-life crisis?”) is now offered a new world of tattoos, thanks to Mattell’s new “Totally Tattoos” line of no-mess decals. No, I am not making this up. Mattell offers a range of 40 tats to disfigure Barbie’s beautiful clear skin, ...

In the not too distant future, next Sunday A.D., there was a guy named Joel, not too different from you and me. To make a long story short, he was abducted by a mad scientist and put into space with a collection of ultra-hysterical robots, most notably Tom Servo and Crow. Cambot and Gypsy had their place, but let’s be ...

Girl, from the first day I had you in my heart I knew our arms would never grow apart Yellow and yellow, hand in hand Crankin’ out beats while I bust out a jam Got my man with the hair over to the left And angry bro-dude, yeah, he comes next I’m in the middle singing all the time Don’t ...

With the upcoming Star Trek movie, this case mod is the perfect idea for those of you who consider yourself true Trekkies. Looks hard to make, no? You’d be wrong, my friend. Just grab a Star Trek federation pin, rip out the Apple logo and glue that fucker right on. You’ll get plenty of cred from your trekkie friends, but ...
