Back in the day, building a fort was as easy as grabbing a few blankets or sheets and throwing them over the nearest table. POW! Instant imaginary fun. Nowadays, they take all the fun out of actually building the fort and integrate the walls right into the tables. The Daily Shelter table transforms from a dining-room surface into a fort-sized ...

Being a fine male specimen, I don’t wear stockings (at least not on weekdays), but if I did, you can bet your arse that Les Queues de Sardines’s graphic-print stockings would be what I would wore. The designs for these stockings are just awesome. I particularly admire the creepy ant design. And if these aren’t hip enough for you, check ...

So, you’ve finally done it. Taken the drastic leap into vegetarianism. No more brains for you, young man. But it’s hard to make the jump directly from munching on organs to snapping into fresh carrots. To make your life (?) a little more manageable, check out these Brain Bowls available on Etsy for $10 a pop. Even if your gobbling ...

If you’re more into super villains then robotic sidekicks, you might prefer the Jabba the Snowhutt over the R2-D2 Snowdroid from earlier this week. Just make sure your My Little Pony in Carbonite is far beyond reach. I wouldn’t put it past the Snowhutt to bounty that thing off to the highest bidder.

We know usually you set your brain’s power button to off when playing your Wii, and that’s fine that Wii playing is meant to be your downtime, but if you even plan on using the WiiThink concept peripheral, there’s just no way in hell you’ll be able to maintain that mindless mentality. Using EEG technology to read your brainwaves, the ...

You know how Yoshi loves his apples. So it’s no surprise that he couldn’t resist such a shiny fruit as the Apple logo itself. This Yoshi Macbook decal is available from LapTatt, and it’s a great way to build-up even more geek cred, if you care about that sort of thing. Link [via]

You won’t be emerging as a beautiful butterfly, but you might just emerge as a more alert version of you. The Sleep Suit is designed to provide you with your own little personal sleep space wherever you go, while also providing a generous amount of airflow. Because nobody likes cocoon sweat. The project attempts to challenge the idea of personal ...

Take an iconic movie monster, add some neon color and Warholian-flair, and boom… instant pop art. These Marylinized Monsters by Jesse Lenz incorporate the iconic Warhol portrait of Marylin Monroe, or at least Marylin’s hair, into famous portraits of famous movie monsters. Link [via]

There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous. I actually don’t think I’d mind if modern movie posters were designed in the same style. Some modern posters could certainly use the revision. Or at least a few zombies added here or there. Hit the jump ...

You’d think a computer, with all of is modern technology, would be able to boil down at least a bit of the ambiguity which constantly surrounds the Mona Lisa. A computer designed to do so might be able to shed some light on the woman, but when we’re talking a recreation made out of only computer folders, Lisa is even ...
