Call me a dork, but Futurama has always been one of my favorite programs on the old idiot box - at least when it comes to animated programs. Now, just in time for the holidays, I’ve found the perfect decoration for my office…

Casemodders have implanted the brains of the Atari 2600 into all sorts of strange host bodies over the years, but this is the first time I’ve seen this particular permutation…

Do you brush your teeth? Then I have just the thing for you: a toothbrush! But seriously, OHSO’s pocket toothbrush is not only stylish, it’s also very practical.

If you’re a geek or a techie among ignorant friends, here’s something you can try for a few laughs. Or a few punches in the face. Playboy21 of psp-hacks has cooked up a tiny program he calls TrickBrick.
