Pray That the Mantis Chair Doesn’t Prey on You

Mantis Chair

It’s no secret that I have this insane and inane fear of insects. Cockroaches, grasshoppers, crickets, preying mantis, you name it, and I’ll scream when I see it. This is all to the annoyance of my dad, who just swats at it or sweeps it out of the way when…

Glitchr Turns Website Bugs into Art

glitchr facebook digital art

To be honest, I no longer use Facebook enough to see any bugs. I basically check in and check out, within 10 or 15 minutes or so each time and never leave an open tab. That being said, just like any website, Facebook has got some bugs. Glitchr is a…

Skyrim Giant’s Club Glitch Sends Followers to Beast Mode

skyrim giant's club easter egg-glitch

I am still able to resist my destiny as a dragonborn, and hopefully I can hold out until the scary PS3 memory issue is fixed. But the Internet is draining my Anti-Skyrim… field, as it’s riddled with all sorts of cool stuff about the game, like this funny glitch

Skyrim + PS3 Save Bug = Lots of Lag

If you just got Skyrim… for the PS3, you might want to hold off on playing the game until Bethesda releases a patch. This is because players are reporting that not only are they losing saved games, but as you progress through the game, you get more and more lag.

HexBug Larva Robots Ready to Squirm into Your Life

hexbug_larva_1

You may or may not know this about me, but I really dislike bugs. Not dragonflies or ladybugs, mind you, just the really creepy crawly type. And while it’s usually the ones with thousands of legs that really freak me out, larvae are about the next worst thing. Now, in…

Robot Venus Fly Trap Eats Bugs, Can’t Digest Them

Hey, bugs. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that two prototype Venus Fly Trap robots have been designed with the ability to capture and eat real bugs and use them for energy. The bad news is that… two prototype Venus Fly Trap robots…

Insect-Powered Smartphones (and a Praying Mantis on a Unicycle)

praying_mantis_on_a_unicycle

You know what I love about the whole viral video advertising trend? At least it makes advertisers and agencies look outside of the traditional blah 30- and 60- second ad spots that treat consumers like idiots, and instead to do something entertaining and attention-grabbing. Sure most produced “virals” are crummy,…

Giant Circuit Board Dragonfly: Be Glad This Thing Doesn’t Fly

pcb_dragonfly

I think I’ve mentioned this before – I’m not really crazy about insects. But for some reason, dragonflies have never really bothered me. They’re big, buzzy and clumsy, but they can’t do any harm, so maybe that’s why I don’t mind them. But if I ever saw a dragonfly with…

Despite the fact that little boys are supposed to love playing with bugs, I’ve always disliked insects – especially anything ending in “pede.” I think all those legs just creeped me out.…

Does It Bug You That There’s a Beetle Stuck on the Back Of Your iPhone 4?

Japanese Beetle Case

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.
First, because I don’t really understand what could be going on in the minds of the people who came up with this. And second, because I…
