Ask the locals for directions to the Hard Heart Cantina. Old Red Jalopy, also the designer of the Star Wars-themed alternative movie posters, created these ...

About 90% of resturant awkwardness occurs when trying to converse with the server. I think most of the small talk is awkward for a few simple reasons. First, you don’t really care whether the waitress is having a busy night or not. You just want your food. Second, the waitress doesn’t really care how your evening is going. She just ...

I love Fridays. And unicorns. But most of all Batman. Oh, oh and robots! Again, I love Fridays. The “Batman riding a robot unicorn” print was being sold on Etsy but has since been sold out. Who knows, you might get another shot. Link [via]

If George Lucas had been born about 25 years earlier, Star Wars would have turned out a hell of a lot different. In this excellent “premake” trailer by Ivan Guerrero, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is transformed into a campy 50s sci-fi epic, complete with chintzy-looking robots and “amazing” 3D effects. The premake was made by splicing together classic ...

Finally, my plans to break ground on the First Church of Optimus Prime can commence! These stained glass Transformer pieces transform (no pun intended, honestly, that would be inexcusable) any room’s fixtures from boring to geektastic. AutobotWonko created these gorgeous stained glass pieces inspired by everyone’s favorite robots in disguise. Ok, since we’re on the topic of 80’s cartoons, what ...

While the Robot iPhone Case certainly isn’t the most practical way to protect your iPhone, it’s perfect for the device with a mean streak. The iPhone and robots have several things in common, not the least being that they both have their eyes set on world domination. If they joined forces, who knows what the world might look like in ...

The MapEnvelop project prints your current location inside of your letter’s envelope. A postcard might be able to project a certain image or feel of the general area in which you are, but it’s sort of decieving since it’s not really an exact science. Especially if you throw a few alien robots into the scene. The MapEnvelop on the other ...

Robots really do come in all forms of shapes and sizes. Even if this little guy is pretty generic as far as form-factor goes, it’s what’s under the hood that makes Plen so spectacular. Controlled via the Android operating system, you can remotely navigate this little guy right from the comfort of your very own mobile device via the power ...

It’s safe to say that most robots are still pretty stupid. The future we planned with fully-autonomous robots on isn’t quite here yet. Most are still strictly human-controlled and/or have a one-track mind. Researchers in Gottingen, Germany have developed a six-legged arachnid robot which autonomously decides its own gait speed, depending on the terrain, using a system called “chaos control.” ...

It’s always been sort of a pain cooking your Ramen noodles to the perfect heat and consistency. You can sit there and stare at the microwave like a moron, or you can actually use a useful tool like Cupman. Cupman is a cute little doodad that hangs from the side of your cup of noodles, losing its color as the ...
