Kobe Beef iPod Nano Case

This has got to be one of the strangest iPod accessories I’ve ever seen. Just slip your iPod Nano into this camouflage jacket, and it’ll look just like a hunk of pricey (and delicious) Kobe beef.

Weighted Companion Cube Cake by mandrake88

If you’re like me, you probably killed more than a few weekends back in the Fall playing Portal. As you probably know by now, the cake promised as the reward for completing all the puzzles was a big fat lie…

Apple logo made out of fruit

Check out this tasty realization of the classic Apple rainbow logo, made entirely out of fresh fruit.

Richard Thomas’ clever creation is made from sliced kiwis, bananas, oranges, strawberries, green and red grapes and blueberries.
