Check it: a chandelier made up of milk crates. You thought kitchen lights made up of cereal box designs showed off how much you truly love breakfast? Think again. This milk crate chandelier is the first kind we’ve seen and it appears some effort went into making it. And no, this wasn’t some 20 minute project like a chandelier made ...

Found in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this odd display of art features a SOLO cup with a string in it tied to a an empty pay phone booth.

I wouldn’t call this a weapon but more of a raver toy for use at that illegal warehouse party. Dubbed E-bola, it’s made by attaching an LED throwie (LEDs and a battery + electrical tape) to a rope which is then flailed around your body. Looks great in the dark, especially on ecstasy. Link

According to Obama, you don’t need to show your patriotism by adorning your nation’s flag. That’s bullshit. Regardless, this tailgater is stacked! With a 32-inch flat screen ...

Volkswagen owners are really passionate about their cars. My buddy Raymond owns a GTI and puts like $10,000 into it each year. That’s a lot of money, so why not go for something a little more affordable? For $120, you can score this 1626 piece VW Beetle LEGO kit. Based on a 1960 ‘Charlotte’ model, the VW is 16″ long ...

Instructables has posted a cool DIY project that provides more use out of that large projection screen cramping your den. The one they’ve built shows this suave painting simply by turning the screen around. Hey look everyone, it’s the great Steve McQueen of Bullitt doing his famous leaning stance and he’s right here in my living room! Why settle for ...

Especially if it’s art inspired by robotics, like these City Foundry Bots. Graphic designer and illustrator Juan Carlos Federico creates some fascinating digital collages that resemble living creatures gone robotic. They’ve ditched their organic ways for a body of ...
