Roofus Robot Eats Snow For Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Roofus is a robot that can do the job of 25 men cleaning up snow. Which is great, because who wants to have a job in this economy? I mean, do you have caterpillar tracks, two electric motors, one petrol engine, capability to carry 550 pounds of snow on your back, remote control link, and…

Aluminum MacBook X-Ray Makes Perfect Desktop Background

I’ve seen a lot of disassembled MacBooks already, but this is the first time I’ve seen one under x-rays. The image was taken by Jason De Villa because he wonder how would it look like.

Bajca Emoticon Keyboard Doesn’t Come With a Hammer, Sadly

I see this dumbtastic egg-case-style Bajca emoticon keyboard and the only thing I wish is that somebody actually brings it to market, sends it to me to test, and then I get a hammer to smash all those stupid emoticons like it was a Whac-a-Mole game. Maybe it’s just me and you will love its…

LAVA Future Hotel Room Is Perfect for Dr. Dave Bowman

Created by LAVA architects—the people who designed the Beijing Water Cube and the spectacular Michael Schumacher tower—and the work organization branch of the Fraunhofer Institute—who brought you the MP3 standard—this Future Hotel Room belongs to a set of a Kubrick movie full of monoliths and monkeys.

Mario Mushroom Is Yet Another Lame Attempt to Disguise a Vibrator

For some reason I can’t seem to grasp, Japanese people seem to be obsessed with vibrating objects that are not actual vibrators. OK, I lied, I can understand it perfectly. Specially when they try to pass them as soft Super Mario mushrooms. Then I don’t only understand the obsession, but I actually want to have…

Infinity Bookcase Stores Finite Amount of Books, Is Infinitely Cool Anyway

This Infinity Bookcase is almost as cool as the amazing stairs bookcase that made me want to move to London*. Created by Dutch artist Job Koelewijn, it is supposed to represent the power of learning, or the infinite number of books that you are never going to read, or something like that. Whatever. Definitely a…

Gameboy Color Inside a TI-83 Series Calculator

Where, oh where were you, Nintendo Gameboy Color disguised as a Texas Instruments TI-83 Series calculator, when I was in school? Where? WHERE? Probably nowhere to be found, really, as Gameboy Colors weren’t invented back then, and I was too busy trying to get off latin class to make out with girls in the backyard…

Nap Cap and Strap Sleeping Aids Have Endless Possibilities

While the manufacturer sells this Nap Cap as a way to help you sleep comfortably in planes and Greyhound buses by holding your head straight against the seat, I think they got it all wrong. In reality, this is the perfect system to strap the old lady/kid/John Candy-lookalike sitting next to you before they start…

Buy Your Own Helicopter Thermal Imaging System

At $40,000, this Helicopter FLIR Thermal Imaging System/Infrared Imager may seem a little bit expensive, but when the eBay sellers tells you that “these units are just off a fleet-wide upgrade by a major federal government agency”, the prospect of adding it to your home-made cardboard helicopter or drug-smuggling vehicle looks better and better by…

Apple Apples Are Not from Apple

Risking a spacetime paradox that could destroy the entire Universe, a Japanese guy has devised a way to naturally grow Fuji apples with the Apple logo on them. His technique is very simple: Apply an Apple sticker (or iPod or Appleish Heart) a month before harvesting. I knew girls who apply stickers while tanning to…
