Minimalist Star Wars Posters: Luke is Definitely Missing His Hand

Minimalist Star Wars Posters: Luke is Definitely Missing His Hand

I just love the simplicity of these bare-bones Star Wars character posters by Sam Serling-Sutton. Each set of 6 posters boils down Luke, Vader, Han, Chewie, C-3PO and R2-D2 to their barest of essences. Best of all, the set of 11×17 posters will run you just $12 bucks, so with a few cheap frames, you can decorate an entire room for next to nothing.

Weird Japanese Food iPhone Cases Make You Want to Eat Your Phone

Weird Japanese Food iPhone Cases Make You Want to Eat Your Phone

These wacky iPhone cases from Japan’s iMeshi are completely impractical. Not only do they not really do much to protect your precious glass iPhone, they make them look like something you could eat, but you can’t.

Cray-1 Casemod Runs Way Faster Than the Original

Cray-1 Casemod Runs Way Faster Than the Original

While Cray Research may have only sold about eighty of it’s monstrous Cray-1 supercomputers back in the 1970s, its unusual hexadecagon design made it one of the most iconic computer systems of all time. So it was only a matter of time before somebody would do a Cray-1 inspired casemod.

Lockwasher Robot Sculptures Whirr Their Way Into Our Hearts

Lockwasher Robot Sculptures Whirr Their Way Into Our Hearts

Lockwasher creates these amazing robotic sculptures using objects that he found. I like the BR2D2, which is also called the BeertooD2, made from an old can of Heineken back in 2008. A second model, the BeertooD3 was created last year.

Xtraordinary Adventures Starts Booking Suborbital Space Flights

I always wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid and go into space. Aliens were typically really hot chicks on Star Trek and you got to wear an awesome helmet so I was sold.

Virtual Insects Crawl on Real Hands

Virtual Insects Crawl on Real Hands

Spotted at SIGGRAPH 2010, this interactive art display might just look like a pile of sand, but stick your hands in it, and a variety of creepy crawly insects come to life. Thankfully, these nasty many-legged creatures aren’t real.

Rsvp to This NES Invite

The largest, most unwieldy but also most awesome wedding invite I’ve ever seen: The children of the 80s, all grown up. I hope they have pixelated bouquets and jewelry as well.

Space Invaders Love Seat Invades Our Bottoms

Space Invaders Love Seat Invades Our Bottoms

Created by designer Igor Chak, this concept for a Space Invaders couch looks really awesome. But its squared-off lines look like they’d really hurt our asses. Still, I dig the way it looks, and only wish it were white instead of black – in keeping with the original game colors.

Concrete Espresso Maker Cements Your Love for Caffeine

Concrete Espresso Maker Cements Your Love for Caffeine

I don’t like coffee much. I like the way it smells sometimes, but I hate the way it tastes. The only way I can imagine coffee being even grosser is if it was brewed with a concrete filter.

Slow Motion Lightning Strikes: Shocking.

Ever wondered what lightning strikes really looked like? Tom Warner recently captured some incredible footage in Rapid City, South Dakota. He captured over 9,000 images per second and this 1.5 minute video lasts only 2 seconds in real time!

Snowflake Speaker is Definitely Like No Speaker You’Ve Seen Before

Snowflake Speaker is Definitely Like No Speaker You’Ve Seen Before

I’ve certainly seen my share of unusual speakers over the years, but this one from designer Sylvain Gerber is one of the more offbeat designs I’ve seen in recent times. From everything I can tell, the Snowflake Speaker is just a concept design, but if it actually existed, it would work as a dock for your iPhone or iPod.

Starcraft 2 Noob School: Space Military Academy

You’re stoked for the just-released StarCraft II, but haven’t played the first game, or you’re just not good at RTS games. You’ll probably get through the single player campaign after enough tries, but going against other players is an entirely different story.
