pac-man maze hoodie is amazingly ugly

Pac-Man Hoodie from Hot Topic

Other than the Noah Wyle with long hair and a beard look-alike dude modeling this outfit, I’m not sure who’d actually wear this ridiculously over-the-top Pac-Man themed hoodie.

The lightweight black jacket has pretty much every available surface covered with a Pac-Man maze print, leaving little question that the wearer is a complete dork…

worst casemod ever: ubuntubox cardboard pc

Ubuntubox Cardboard Casemod

This computer has to be the biggest hunk of junk I’ve ever seen. Cobbled together from cardboard, red duct tape and embellished with a Sharpie, the UbuntuBox V1.0 certainly won’t win any awards for build quality.

According to the builder, the guts of the old Pentium 3 tower are being used to power this Ubuntu Linux computer…

Bug Stickers by Evil Mad Scientist Labs

The guys over at Evil Mad Scientist Labs created these wacky stickers that you can slap on the boxes from your gadgets, video games and software.

The labels say “Now Slower and with More Bugs”, making them perfect on a copy of Windows Vista or maybe even Mac OS X Leopard. But they don’t just work with software…

blinky in wood

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought a piece of furniture from Ikea, spent countless hours assembling it, only to have some slightly out-of-the ordinary use cause it to fail catastrophically. That’s exactly what happened to this artist when he overstuffed his drawers with his drawers and tried to move them…

windows vista dvd burn: got 130 years to kill?

filed under: computing | just plain fun

Vista Wait Dialog

Ah, the power of Windows Vista. Check out this recent screen capture of the progress dialog that appeared when an unsuspecting Vista user tried to burn 15 megabytes of files to a DVD RW drive.

So if I’m doing my math right, the disk will be completed in 2138, a little over 130 years from now. The good news is, that should be just in time for Vista SP2 to be released.

Super Mario Mickey Mouse Mashup

Have Disney and Nintendo partnered up for a a top secret new game? Naw. But the guys over at Siliconera managed to snap this great photo of Mickey Mouse dressed in Mario garb in a Japanese arcade.
I suppose that this is what things would look like if worlds collided between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom…

66-fan casemod keeps things cool

66-fan Casemod

Check out this ridiculous computer case made entirely out of cooling fans. I’m assuming the builder of this case was frustrated with their tricked-out system overheating all the time.

The case was assembled from 66 individual cooling fans, keeping the system icy cold all the time. Maybe Microsoft should think about this design for the next Xbox 360.
