Thanks to my own stupidity, I didn’t realize that today was a Saturday when I ordered my iPad last month, so I had my iPad shipped to my office location which isn’t open on the weekends. So even though my iPad will be still sitting in the UPS warehouse until…

I went to college and know firsthand that methane will burn. I once knew a dude that burnt the hairs off his scrotum after a particularly noxious one was lit and flared up unexpectedly. Apparently, DARPA and the U.S. military are looking at a new use for poo. That is,…

Jason Ruff, also known as Doctor Mobius, created this big hairy spider out of LEGOs. It’s pretty awesome and has thousands of hair spikes covering its body.

If that isn’t enough to give you arachnophobia, the spider comes complete with egg missiles and drones. Ever since I first discovered Spider-Man…

This is something that I expected to maybe see in Japan, not Thailand. After a bit of investigation, it turns out that the robots don’t serve you sushi, but Shabu-Shabu (hotpot) and BBQ, which you cook at your table.

These types of eateries are very common in Asia. You get…

It seems that the Snakes of MGS: Peace Walker… are taking a cue from their Assassin predecessors.

Top video game producers Hideo Kojima and Patrice Desilets contracted hay fever while making this trailer for the upcoming PSP game, so you better watch this until the very end. Until the very

You’ll never fail a Cleanliness check with the D20 Geeksoap.

This 4 oz bar – dice? – of soap is made of “natural oatmeal-based vegetable glycerin and moisturizers, enriched with aloe and vitamin E” and comes in several scents. Be careful when using it though, it’s pointed corners might score…

Everyone expected a comic app for the iPad, and Marvel delivered. Marvel Comics for iPad is a lot like iTunes, combining a comic book store and a reader into one app. The reader allows for page-by-page as well as frame-by-frame scrolling, and there are thumbnails at the bottom that let…

I’m not sure if Gene Roddenberry’s estate or Apple’s legal department will be going after the makers of this odd little mobile phone first. The N933 smartphone takes the basic ideas of an iPhone and a traditional flip-phone and mashes them together.

Created by some no-name Chinese manufacturer, the gold-toned…

The guys over at watchmaker Tokyoflash never cease to amaze me with their creative digital watch designs. Their latest concept is the Instant Trend, a timepiece that not only looks cool, but can display text notifications from your mobile phone.

Assuming the watch ever gets made, the Instant Trend would…

These unusual robots were featured on the oddly named Russian website Ribbon Comedy Eye Girls. For some reason, the title of the site makes me think of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo….

Although these robots made from found objects don’t really function (other than maybe lighting up), they
