See this shit? I’ve never heard of “ShaveMate” and would think twice about putting six goddamned blades near my face. BUT! But. The razor does feature a shaving cream dispenser inside the handle. That’s useful as hell for when you’re traveling or in the shower. I dunno. Would you use one of these? I’m on the fence about it. Link

The Arduino makes a fierce return, this time in the form of a hat. Using flex sensors and a hat-mounted Arduino, Instructables user RonanOD created a game of Pong where you use your eyebrows for play. The hat senses how much pressure is being created along the brim and uses the related data as input in the game. Instructions are ...

Anyone who knows me well enough will remember my obsession with BMX and the 1980s. These QWERTY grips for your bike? They remind me of something a dorkier Bob Haro would have used back on his first Freestyler. Not only do they match well with the white or black coloring that’s available, but at $8 a pair, they’re also some ...

Parents with younger children, listen up. This is a chalkboard fridge. By that, I mean that with a little time and money, you can turn the entire facade of your refrigerator into a damn chalkboard. This will keep your kids entertained for hours on end and will most likely keep them from drawing all over the walls. Essentially, you just ...

Remember the Game Boy Camera? I do very vividly. You could buy an optional printer and print out all these wacky photos that looked like absolute shit. It also had some mini-games and a sequencer for making beats if I recall correctly. Now the camera that made everyone nauseous is making a comeback on the iPhone. Developer Epicore has released ...

I can’t even begin to tell you how many countless hours of my life were once wasted on Tetris for the original Nintendo Game Boy. I was 3 or 4 years old and would play the living shit out of that game. My mother would too and could easily reach levels upwards of 100. I suppose that on the 25th ...

Apologies for the lack of linkage lately. I’ve had finals and I’m sure any college student can understand. To make up for it, we’ve launched our latest contest. Bus stops in San Fran now have WiFi Adorable Space Invaders soaps Video of Android running on an Eee PC An Electro-Harmonix guitar pedal is coming to Rock Band! This table is ...

In a move to compete with Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft today did a blitzkrieg of announcements involving the Xbox 360. Dubbed ‘Project Natal’, the next step for the Xbox 360 will involve a full-body controller that senses a player’s motion. Think of the failed Sega Genesis peripheral, the Activator, except done right. It uses a camera to capture motion made ...

The original Crysis was the de facto title to test your computer rig with. If it didn’t run Crysis, your setup just wasn’t leet enough. This time around, Crytek is bringing its sequel to both PCs and consoles alike. While PS3 owners and PC owners should be safe, I worry about the ability of the 360’s hardware. Can it handle ...
