The Ood from Doctor Who are mysterious – and as it turns out, also very delicious. Chris-Rachael Oseland’s Ood dinner rolls look pretty adorable as well.

If you like to go out and have a drink, it’s always problematic when you have to decide whether to drive your own car back home. Sometimes, enough time has passed for you to no longer be intoxicated, but other times, you’ll end up with a DUI – or worse.

3D printing continues to become more mainstream, with some printers hitting the market for under $400(USD) now. While the technology is still in its relative infancy, it’s only a matter of time before 3D printing is used to build everything from gadgets to toys to cars and even houses.

This is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to see the Death Star Trench Run in LEGO, but never had the time or LEGO parts to build one myself. This is a pretty impressive build, complete with another Death Star standing watch on a game box next to it.

Looking for an adult friend in your area? No? Yeah, neither am I, but that’s not going to stop those annoying ads from popping up on your screen without warning when you’re visiting certain websites. Injecting a lot of humor and making fun of these websites is the Adult Cat Finder.

We have accessed music in many different ways. It’s the 21st century after all. And now UK-based communications agency Uniform has devised a new way to access music. With their interactive Postcard Player.
