In the year 2154, biometrics might be so advanced that they will be able to tell us how long we have left to live based on data retrieved from our bodies. Or at least that’s the type of technological advancement that the creator of the Life Index is hoping for in the future. Envisioned by One & Co for the ...

Geeks, software engineers and bloggers take note: Mother’s Day is May 11th. Don’t disappoint Mom again this year by giving her shit like that self-erasing paper she can’t figure out with Python code written all over it (import > loveyamom.py.) Moms love stuff like flowers, gardening and jewelry. Why not get her a gift that draws influence from all three ...

Seems the Maker Faire really stirred the DIY crowd up this year. For instance, check out this cape made by Andrew Lau. He stitched LEDs all over a black cape then used a microcontroller to display messages and the like. Doesn’t seem like it’d be too hard to whip one up yourself, though the microcontroller programming could get a little ...

Damn! That is one sharp-looking Iron Man suit! Too bad if a bunch of terrorist fucks rolled up on you in Afghanistan, you’d be shit out of luck. Still, this is about as close to the real Tony Stark as you can get. Made by Andrew Le, who clearly has a lot of times on his hands, the electromagnet/arc reactor/beam-of-light ...

Grand Theft Auto mania is running wild, brother! We figured in the spirit of the game’s release, many of you hooligans are either feeling the game so much that you’ve got your own little real life crime spree planned, or you’re so scared from the game’s contents, that you’re ready to go all out military protection and armor down the ...

Blue was calm and green was sensitive, while red was angry and black was, well, I don’t remember what black was. Even if they were cheap pieces of shit, I always thought mood rings were a lot of fun, but they ...

Don’t get me wrong. This is stretching the bounds of what’s tech-related, just like your face. But after eyeing this Nantucket Rope Bracelet from J. Crew, which costs a mere $10, I haven’t been the same. I’ve had dreams of nautical voyages across dangerous seas, yacht ricottas and even docks. I imagine a bunch of us there, with a cooler ...

Apparently, the iPhone is still fodder for shitty jokes and tasteless products. Case in point: the iCondom. With a box strikingly similar to Apple’s flagship telecommunications device, it’s no humongous 3G iPhone but it’s packed with goodies that are meant to be touched. iMemory, iLight, iTree and iFood are all part of the iCondom package. Allow me to inform you ...

Imagine a picturesque wild west town. It’s the late 1890s and the bars are hot, stale and empty. You and 5 of your amigos stroll in and order a round of whiskey shots, stat. How could you put the bartender under that kind of stress? The whiskey is clearly on the other side of the bar, next to the laser ...

Are you feeling vintage? Heading to a LAN party to play Doom II and break out 3.5-inch classics like Commander Keen and Xargon? In that case, it’s essential you remain as dapper as possible for the occasion. This felt Floppy Disk Pin will compliment any wrinkled suit you borrowed from your roommate, unlike other apparel on the market. Link (via)
