Gamer girls, here’s something you might dig – assuming you’re into Portal,… that is. Inspired by the test chambers in the games, this fun necklace features five of those generic-looking warning icons, lined up in a neat little row.

It’s been a long while since I’ve seen a clock that doesn’t look like anything else I’ve seen before. So when I was scouring the aisles of eBay earlier today and stumbled onto this cool clock, I thought to myself, “Eureka! A geeky clock that I’ve never seen before!”

Metamaterials are awesome in that they promise future ways to make real objects invisible to the eye and to block acoustic signals. This would be the prankster’s ultimate weapon. Imagine a suit that would allow you to sneak around unseen and unheard. I’d skulk around waiting for the skank down…

We are all big fans of LEGO bricks around here for building things. I especially like when someone takes the bricks and builds something gigantic. I am more the buy a kit with instructions and build what it shows sort of guy. You might recall back in February I mentioned…

I don’t have a problem with vampire flicks, even if they are gross. I am not a fan of Twilight, which my wife has watched roughly 1.3 million times. I do like True Blood… on HBO, though it has gone a little too girly for me over the last few

Japanese design studio Powershovel has come up with a camera worthy of challenging the CHOBi mini cam for the title of World’s Most Easily Lost Camera. The CLAP digital camera measures a mere 1.4″ x 2.8 x 0.59″ and weighs only 24g. I also prefer its simple design over the…

I’ve seen a whole lot of quirky and out-of-this-world cases for Apple’s über-popular smartphone, but this one still managed to take me by surprise.
