Upon first gaze, one might think that the TIX LED Clock is actually a futuristic TV remote. In reality, it’s just another crazy clock made by some designer who got bit by the “unique and interesting” mosquito. Each digit is represented by the number of illuminated squares, making the clock tricky to read at first but something you’ll no doubt ...

Ever eye over a Chumby and think to yourself, “That’s one cool gadget, but I’m not looking to spend the cash on a widget machine.” That we have and I’m sure the creators of the YBox 2 Kit have as well. This DIY kit allows you to build and create your own machine that displays customizable content. Think Chumby meets ...

The Luke Arm is the world’s first real, fully-functional prosthetic arm. The video shows Dean Kamen and the progress his team has made with the prosthesis as they work with the arm in either a remote-controlled or thought-controlled method. The Luke Arm’s silicone-rubber inner-side straps work with the arm and distribute pressure at certain areas of the body during use. ...

Here’s an idea that seems so elementary, it’s absurd that no one thought of the idea years ago. NeatSheets. It’s a sheet with a pocket on the side. I could add a ton of adjectives and shit about how they’re “extra comfy” and what not, but let’s cut right to the nectar. Sound good? Excellent. These sheets seem like a ...

With the state of our economy, people are looking for all sorts of ways to save money and pinch pennies. After all, coming up with a budget can be just the thing you need to get settled. Cut back on spending by designing and making your own velcro-based laptop case, like the one above found on isoglossia’s Flickr page. Even ...

Perhaps the greatest use of a remote controlled device in history: a flying penis flew into the middle of a speech from former chess master and Russian political activist, Garry Kasparov. It seems someone took the time to turn an RC helicopter into a flying cock. After the security guard swatted it to the ground, Kasparov says, “I think we ...

I had the pleasure of getting a hold of a set of these sweet new RC copter-borne marines thanks to a friend of mine. I was skeptical at first glance, as they seemed like any other RC copter I’ve used. Then I actually played with it. It puts other remote-controlled toys to shame. It takes some getting used to, especially ...

Why spend a ton of money on eBay for someone else’s crap when you can blow $10 and be done with it? That’s probably the concept behind SomethingStore.com, a new website that will send you something for ten bucks. So far, customers have gotten items like a gourmet coffee maker, a wall clock, kitchen knives, a pair of designer jeans ...

Victor Vetterlein has designed a vision of what conceptual homes of the future will look like. I am easily reminded of the bizarre looking “arcologies” you could build in SimCity 2000. Dubbed “Reboot,” the futuristic living-space is supposed to be a self-sufficient and environment friendly take on everyday living. Everything about its interior is digitally controlled and designed to be ...

Sure the Laser Target Alarm Clock might not be as exciting as these clocks are, so have a little heart. Besides, who doesn’t love carrying out their childhood fantasy of shooting their alarm clock every morning before hauling ass to the coal mines? There really isn’t much to this and that’s what I love. You have a really basic clock ...
