20 years ago, this would have been impossible. Home computers just didn’t have the sort of hardware needed to support such massive data. But technological advancement is a hell of a thing. Moore’s Law guides the way to a future of unlimited possibilities. But let’s focus on the present. As of now, you can own every single issue of National ...

Esquire’s E-Ink Cover Turned Digital Clock

We found little purpose for the E-paper cover of Esquire magazine’s October 2008 issue. That’s not to say we didn’t like it. It’s stylish and way cooler than that “boobless” trick with a calculator. We just think it’s a little bulkier than it should be, considering it’s the cover of a magazine. Hack a Day’s Ian Lesnet took the Esquire ...

Found in some Brazillian publication called SET, there’s four new close-ups of characters from the movie.

The Alfred E. Neuman Misfits T-Shirt

What’s cooler than the horror punk band the Misfits? Pretty much everything. But mix their infamous skull logo with the endearing visage of MAD Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and you’ve got yourself a winner. More hip than an Alfred E.

Is Laurier Rochon Clean?

Earlier this month, I was sitting on the can reading the latest issue of MAKE magazine. Inside, I read about Laurier Rochon and his deodorant-based docking station. At first, the concept sounded a bit off color but after reviewing his project, dubbed “I Am Clean”, as a whole, I’m proud to report I’m obsessed with it. Laurier used an Arduino ...

A New Definition for Tranny: Transformer Love Becomes Transformer Heartache

There is no way of knowing whether a dude or a chick wrote in this confessional to Mr. Know-It-All (a question-and-answer syndication in Singapore,) and frankly, it doesn’t matter. Whoever it is, they are actually sexually obsessed with Transformers.
