Handheld Super Nintendo Hack Has Us Salivating
It’s arguable that Ben Heckendorn has started a revolution. Known in the past for making some pretty outlandish mods, the folks over at BenHeck.com (including the man himself) are a serious driving force in the mod world. And today we can add one more crazy item to the list as one of the forum users [...]
Make Your Own: Papercraft Star Wars Minifigs
In case you were completely out-geeked by fellow Star Wars fans and haven’t had anything to show for standing in line at Toys’R’Us’ Midnight Madness extravaganza, here’s something for you. The templates and instructions can be found at Japanese site Piro Model. Truthfully I think we could benefit from an english version of [...]
John Nouanesing’s Concept Table
There are conceptual designs, and there are tables designed by French designer John Nouanesing. It only takes 5 seconds to figure out how this table could work (it’s not real or for sale..just yet) but that surely doesn’t take away from how fracking badass it looks. Avid watchers of Showtime’s Dexter may begin to salivate [...]
WANT: Space Invader Cutting Board
Fact: I like cooking. If I didn’t already own 16 different cutting boards I would buy this in a heartbeat. Actually Meg would kill me if she knew I spent $129.99 for a cutting board. Regardless, it’s motherfrackin’ SPACE INVADERS.
I highly recommend that you get one of these, Eric. It would match your cubicle nicely…not [...]
Eric Therner’s Pilen Concept Bicycle
So it’s officially Summer in Philadelphia! It seems to me that everyone and their mother is riding a bike to get around town, and rightly so (Bikes don’t run on gasoline). I’ve been shopping around for a solid set of wheels myself. Something light, good looking, and won’t ruin my manly parts. Granted, I’m not [...]

We love anything involving modded NES gear. This gorgeous gigantic Nintendo controller, which is also a coffee table, is no exception. Kyle Downes is the artist behind this awesome piece of furniture… and it actually works. He custom built a computer board into the thing. Inside, you can store lots of video game swag.

Photoshop Disasters: Great Blog
Think you’re a master of Photoshop?
Think again.
Photoshop Disasters, a hysterical blog that chronicles horrible attempts at Photoshop, usually done for high profile clients, shows off some truly terrible images. Pay them a visit, have a laugh, and make sure you don’t make the same mistakes. They might come for you next.

l33t Eye Chart Doubles as l33t Tshirt
This is teh l33t haxorz. Made up of fairly popular online acronyms, this eye chart does not promise an accurate measurement of one’s vision. In its true form, it makes for an awesome and totally ridiculous garment. Plus it’s printed on black, and that means you can wear it anywhere!
The shirt is [...]
