I love the coloring on this LEGO car from Lino Martins. Very intricate, very pleasing on the eyes. Yes? Link [via]

You’ve simply got to watch this entire video of a model Maglev train that’s powered by liquid nitrogen. It gets colder than 183 degrees C (361.4 degrees F) and encounters no resistance. Give it a push on a track and it’ll fly around it perfectly until the liquid nitrogen runs out. I just find it fascinating to watch a model ...

Ever wonder what other gadgeteers are carrying around inside their laptop bags? Surely a computer of some sort and a phone, but what about all that other junk bulging at the seams? Core77 has a great Flickr roundup of photos that showcase the inside of people’s bags. Among some of the items included, we found a joystick, SD cards, books, ...

This past weekend, I spent my Saturday visiting the Philadelphia-based Simeone Foundation Museum, Fred Simeone’s personal collection of historic race cars. The museum is packed with cars from the early 1900s up to 1970 (with a few oddballs thrown in for good measure.) I took over 120 pictures at the museum, highlighting every detail. What a lot of people don’t ...

We withstood a hurricane, wrestled with Lehman and even survived Ryan’s farts after a bowl of chili. We’d call it a hell of a weekend. These are what we call links. Our economy is fucked, if you haven’t heard Mac OS X 10.5.5 is out This tattoo makes me cringe Watchmen + LEGO? Hell yes! HTC has three lovely new ...

Found on Flickr user Tableauvivant’s page, this above photo shows the musical components of a Hallmark musical greeting card. I must say, this is quite surprising. I was sent a few musical cards back in May and when I took them apart, I found a tiny PCB with a piezo speaker and some other circuitry. This appears to be a ...

I don’t care how precious your kid is. Whether his name is Trig or Chainsaw or Thornbush, it doesn’t warrant a $300 picture frame. Sony thinks that it can get away selling the new CP1 digital photo frame with WiFi for that absurd price. Why? Well despite the fact that it has a 7″ screen with 16 million colors and ...

Found on Flickr user Jmarler’s page, these EEPROM cufflinks are extremely beautiful. Soldered in place forever, these won’t be good for powering your Arduino but they could get your laid with a hot mom… Link (via)

Eric Ruckman was one individual disappointed by Guitar Hero: On Tour’s guitar peripheral for the DS. So, in an effort to form gameplay more faithful to the original Guitar Hero, Eric found a wireless PS2 guitar that no one wanted and cut a hole in the controller, removing all the guts. He then managed to connect the buttons of the ...
