Vuz It

From time to time I will be shedding some light on some awesome free products that are out on the web. We know that some of you albotains run websites as well. So in providing you with everything that’s fresh out there I would like to talk about some pretty sweet software I have happened […]

Have A Computer For Lunch

Here we have pics of a pretty sweet computer mod. Jason Barnes and his partner in crime Jason Letter were asked to build a custom case for Emily’s new Mini-ITX motherboard. Someone must have been hungry cause they have built it out of a lunch box. Not just any lunch box but a Super Princess […]

Gatorbox 360

This 360 mod was made by dfwmonkie from the carcass of an actual alligator that nearly chomped his leg off. At least, that’s probably what he tells the ladies. I know that’s what I’d tell the ladies. The mod was actually made using some Bondo clay and some paint. The eyball is truly the […]

Flogos - “Floating Logos”

As if I don’t see enough advertisements in the strangest of places, now I can start looking to the sky. Francisco Guerro, who co-founded SnowMasters Inc, created a machine that sends foamy clouds up to 4ft wide in the shape of whatever logo you can imagine….or afford.
Disney is the first big name to make use […]

The Emergency Party Button is No F***ing Joke

The emergency party button is something that no respectable bachelor pad or party house should be without. This magical button will turn your boring ol’ place into a party of epic proportions- provided you have enough awesome people attend and a decent amount of alcohol. Just turn the key, press the button, and watch the […]

“You don’t get to be the Hot Dog Cooker… That Job is already taken”

Sometimes cookin’ some dogs outside isn’t the most safest situation. I mean aside from smoke in your eye and bugs bothering you there’s mustard slinging bandit’s after your Ball Park.
Fear not, the BBQ Sword is here. [via gf]

WaSnake Shelf Does RSS, SMS, and Also Holds Things

If you have an assload of toys at your house like my girlfirned and I, then you could probably use a cool shelf. Look no further. The WaSnake has LED screens that can display RSS headlines and even SMS messages. Having this bad boy over the TV would definitely rule. Too bad they won’t be […]

reNESED

We’ve seen our fair share of NES re-designs and mods, but the reNes by Javier Segovia is in a league of its own. It’s only a concept, but the design is top-notch. Somebody should get around to manufacturing these things with Famicom and Super Famicom compatibility. Just a thought.

B&Q Memphis Retro Grill Has Built-in Speakers for an MP3 Player

I’m having a BBQ bash at my house this weekend and MY GOD I wish I’d known about this grill sooner. The B&Q Memphis Retro 2 Burner Grill not only aids in the making of fantastic summer feasts, but it has freaking speakers so that you can hook up an MP3 player and rock some […]

The First Cell Phone Watch I’ve Ever Seen That Didn’t Look Ridiculously Ugly

This watch is just plain ballin’. Some straight-up Tony Stark/James Bond type shit. Let’s run down the list of awesome, shall we?

1.5″ OLED muthafuckin’ TOUCH SCREEN!
2-Megapixel camera! (Say what!?)
Tri-band & BlueTooth support!
And this n***a’s even shockproof and mo’fuckin waterproof! Dayamn!

Seriously, get me one. Now.

Video Tape USB Hub

One thing that’s usually lacking in PC’s is the number of USB ports. Sometimes 8 just isn’t enough. As much as I love VHS for it’s nostalgic purposes this just seems a little large and redonk. Now if someone can make a USB CD Hub…than I’ll be impressed. [viag GF]

Rock That Dead Format With Your Bad Self

Look everyone, a Compact Disc player! This crazy looking CD player is called the CD-T300 Pro and while it “looks” cool, it plays CD’s. Now I don’t know about most of you but if vinyl sales are doing better than disc, there’s probably not going to be a need to buy one of these. The […]

The Neo Cube

This shit is bananas.

Portable NES Plays Cartridges, Not ROMs.

Remember that awesome solar-powered portable NES that we featured a while back? Well, this is like that, only not as awesome. The FC Movile takes AA batteries instead of sunlight, and it doesn’t play ROMs. But it’s still kinda’ cool, I guess. I mean, at least you can look awesome while you play with oldschool […]

iFrogz Nano Audiowrapz Hitting Wal-Mart Shelves

iFrogz has been around for awhile. They have a great lineup of iPod covers (I have one) and used to be available strictly online. So of course it was only a matter of time before the retail empire Wal-Mart starting selling them. One thing that concerns me though is they have covers for every generation […]
