filed under: geek art & craft | retro

Ah, another ho-hum day on the job. You know, you get up, you put on your white battle armor, load up your E-11 battle rifle, and head out to work. But before you run out the door, don’t forget your lunchbox!

Whether you’re performing services for the Republic or Imperial Army, you need to be sure to eat well every day…

tokyoflash negative lcd/led watch is positively cool

filed under: design | timepieces

Hot off the presses comes the latest über-cool modern watch from the guys over at Tokyoflash. Their latest creation features a reverse LCD display which lets you view the time without the need for pressing any pesky buttons.

The Tokyoflash Negative watch gets its name from its “always-on” inverse LCD display which uses oversize black dot-matrix pixels to reveal the time, day or date…

alien table will probably not go with your decor

alien table

Now I love AVP as much as the next gal, but I have to say that I think these tables might be going a bit too far.

There are two options available, “crouching position alien” and “emerging from alien egg alien.” They’re made from car and bike parts, tools and other pieces of recycled metal, and faithfully represent the Alien/Aliens movie aliens…

Nixon R1G1 Analog Gauge Watches

Maybe I’m just too geeky, but I have a tendency to be drawn to ultra-modern digital watches. But sometimes there’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned analog dial. At least the guys over at Nixon are thinking a little outside the box with their latest analog watch design, the fashionably geeky R1G1…

chrome joypad is a shiny fingerprint magnet

filed under: computing | video games

I don’t care how much I have to buff my oily prints off of this chrome joypad. I want one. I can’t believe in all of the years that game controllers have been made that nobody has thought to make one before. And yes, this one isn’t some cheap plastic masquerading as chrome.

filed under: computing | hacks-mods

Vulcanus PC Metal Casemod

You could do all your computing on a lightweight MacBook Air, but a real manly man would use this computer that’s so beefy that it could smash your lightweight girly-man system into a fine pulp.

Hand-forged from steel by an honest to goodness blacksmith, Vulcanus is one bad mofo of a PC. Created by Czech builder Sergej, the Vulcanus will crush all other computers that stand in its way…
