Not much to say here except for a resounding “WOW.” This ray gun is a steampunk creation that was found on Flickr user Tinkerbot’s photostream. Seems Tinkerbot is all about designing fake ray guns that have a distinct vintage feel. After the jump, a selection of his best works that really put the “punk” back in the already enigmatic steampunk ...

The next time you’re shopping for jock straps at the mall, be on the lookout for guy or girl with the messed up face. I’m not talking about some huge tumor hanging off of a chin here, I’m talking about people who have the latest Japanese accessory for controlling their iPod. It’s called the Mimi Switch and it allows the ...

Ah, yes. The Samsung Memoir from T-Mobile. It was to lead the charge of the next-generation of cellphones. After all, it has a touchscreen, 3G speeds, an 8-megapixel camera and a variety of other features built-in so it must be good, right? Maybe. The Samsung Memoir, on paper, appears to the hottest phone to hit the market since Apple’s baby ...

Felt, plush. Whatever you call it, it’s soft and cuddly. Yesterday, we explored Becky Stern’s fucked up femur in plush form. Today, plush strikes again in the form of an old 1970s synthesizer. It looks like a Modular Moog unit but alas, it’s a Korg. These plush synths are created by Australian artist Pulsewidth. He’s made a Juno, an ARP ...

I’m not a complete nerd like Ryan is but I do enjoy LEGOs and can watch Star Wars casually. I don’t know much about The Clone Wars and how it relates to the Star Wars series but I’ll tell you this much: these LEGO minifigs are incredibly awesome. Look at the detail on these bad boys. Completely designed and imagined ...

Recession? What recession? This 24-karat gold iPhone 3G has made its way onto the auction site eBay in hopes that it’ll draw a high bid. While I don’t doubt it will, whoever ends up winning must not be affected by the current economic crisis. You can buy it now for a mere $1016.72, which is pennies for people like Bill ...

Here’s a nice little mod to start off your snowy morning. Found in the MAKE Flickr pool, Flickr user Shoxcorp snuck a full 3.5-inch hard drive inside a fine-looking moleskine notebook. Who would ever think that your private data is inside a journal? Notebooks? Private? You be the judge. Link

I’m pretty sure LEGO builder Dave Shaddix photoshopped these LEGO box covers but he did come up with a sweet recreation of Gilligan’s Island. As you can see, Gilligan is present, the Skipper too (well, somewhere!). I particularly like the scene where Gilligan is robbed by a monkey. Check it after the jump.

I don’t know what to say. What do you think I should say? Look at this fucking gun. It’s a life-size 1:1 replica of the Portal gun. Like dead on to every detail. It even glows blue. What the fuck is up with that? Some chick made it for cosplay. Yeah, cosplay. Such a waste… At least it blows previously ...

If you haven’t heard of Peek, it’s a small, thin device with a QWERTY keypad that only does email. Yup. It just emails and uses the T-Mobile network to send and retrieve messages. You pay $20 a month and you get unlimited email service. Not the best deal. However, today only, Peek is offering a $300 one-time deal where you ...
