Making your face presentable for high definition is tough, which is why the makeup brand Cargo is carrying a "blu_ray" brand makeup—trademarked, no less—that's supposed to cover up any Cameron Diaz-level skin problems. It's unlikely that Sony will be pleased that someone's calling dibs on a brand they spent billions on building, but since this is in the makeup space, they might be SOL. We're sure Cargo's glad they don't have to make an "hd_dvd" branded makeup kit. [Sephora via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Right now it's a bit hot for one of these, but we salute Lady Linoleum, who made this Darth Vader helmet out of eight Guinness cans and some black wool.

Talking Geek Figurine Talks Geek While you Work
Bang one of these nerdy desk ornaments on the head and it whines "I'm thinking right now." Bang a real geek on the head, though, and he'll probably be able to tell you the pressure per square inch exerted by the palm of your hand. I can't decide which one would give me more fun. [Tokyo Mango]

World's Fastest Toilet is Jet-Propelled, not Powered by Farts
Well, Flame Grill my Whopper and call it Professor Caractacus Potts! Is there nothing sacred any more? Not even those precious moments when a man wants a little peace in the world so that he can go about his daily business without being disturbed? It seems not, but then the British always were a little strange. This is, apparently, the world's fastest toilet. Powered by a Boeing Jet engine, the $10,000 vehicle's top speed is in excess of 70mph, and it farts flames from its tailpipe - rather like, I would imagine, a man forced to eat ten vindaloos one after another.

84" Giga Ball: Will be at Google HQ by the End of the Year
If this is for kids aged 4 and upwards, then I'm a banana with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. This 7-foot version of the Giga Ball is aimed at adults, no shit. I have seen the future and it is ball-shaped. YouTube will be full of mass Giga Ball rallies, people will take to the roads with them (are they car crash-proof? I don't know, but I bet the Jackass boys will be able to tell you that) and there will be Giga Ball races on Campus. It will set you back a shade under $200, but if you are the proud owner (driver?) of one of these, everyone will want to be your friend. More »
