There are plenty of Bluetooth boom boxes available, but I have to say that this one from Bēm looks quite interesting. The overall shape is reminiscent of a traditional boom box, and the handle will let you lug it around quite easily from place to place.

Do you punch like a wuss? Need some extra force when you lay a smack down? Well, if you also want a good geek ring, here is the answer. It’s an Alien Xenomorph ring that conveniently transforms into brass knuckles.

I don’t know about you, but this is a dream come true for me. This vending machine in Belgium cooks and serves fries in 90 seconds flat. I’m moving as soon as I book a flight.

deviantART member Shori Ameshiko is a Pokémon stitcher like no one ever was. She’s been making what she calls Pokéhoodies for a couple of years now, but she recently went viral with her Bulbasaur hoodie, which comes with a bulb-shaped backpack.

If you have a fear or intense dislike for hospitals, then chances are you won’t appreciate the quirkiness behind the concept of the Hospitalis Restaurant, which is a hospital-themed restaurant.

Gamers looking to redecorate their homes should definitely consider making some curtains or pillows out of this awesome fabric.

You probably don’t give much thought about the artificial light that’s available around you. But hundreds of millions of people don’t have access to electricity;  many of these people use kerosene lamps at night, which are not only costly but harmful.

We’ve seen plenty of awesome NES casemods and portables over the years, but this example is 3D-printed. It is called the NESPo and was made by modder Dave Nunez. Dave used a Nintendo-on-a-chip (NOAC), because he didn’t want to destroy an original console.

This is a working Beretta M9A1 designed to look like it came from the Halo games. It has some amazing detail. The grips were custom-designed and feature the UNSC emblem. The gun is real and works.

A few months ago we featured the Neo-Plug, a mobile device charger with a two-piece magnetic tip similar to Apple’s MagSafe. Designer Jon Patterson recently showed us a similar concept but for a headphone jack. He calls it the Pogo.

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Mike Tyson playing Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out on the NES. For the first time. Yeah, I’m not sure I believe that, but then again, it’s not like Mike can act, so it’s probably true.

One-eyed sunglasses? Square un-rolling pins? Keyboards with pins sticking out of them? These are just some of the things that Italian artist Giuseppe Colarusso has transformed for his very unusual series called Improbability, where everyday objects are turned into their highly unlikely counterparts.

You might remember Evan Bacon from such LEGO masterpieces as his Superman, Batman and Iron Man. Now he has set his sights on the Minions from the Despicable Me movies.

We “social masters” are tired of being discriminated against.  Why all of these “one friend, two piece” necklaces?  I could never give one of my minions special treatment, because then my other minions would feel sad. 

There are plenty of drone variants available, but Lockheed Martin is pushing the boundaries of drone warfare thanks to their Transformer TX drones, which will be able to transport cars to and from the battlefield.

I’ve been using RHA headphones for about 6 months, and I have been pleasantly surprised by their performance. The RHA 450i Earphones are definitely on my recommend to buy list. RHA recently announced that they will release premium earphones in late August.
