Having Strangers Draw Your Facebook Profile Pic Is Freaking Awesome

Here’s something we should all totally get behind: strangers drawing strangers Facebook profile pictures. Called Selfless Portraits, it’s an incredible art project that allows random people to draw other random people’s profile pic and collects them all in a gallery of side-by-side portraits.

Stay Cool But Lost With This Spherical Mapless Globe Fan

Idea International’s new Aero Sphere isn’t quite poised to shake up the fan industry like Dyson’s bladeless offering did.

This is the greatest Lego mecha I’ve ever seen

Gizmodo alumnus Joel Johnson says this is “perhaps the most fully realized Lego mech build I have ever seen.” I’ve seen many amazing Lego mechas in my life and I don’t agree. I think it’s the greatest, period. There’s no perhaps here. It’s just amazing. The scale of this model coupled with its mobility is…

Behind the Internet: The Rise and Fall of Keyboard Cat

Bad news first. Guys—Keyboard Cat is dead. The same cat you’re still splicing into videos and GIF-ing as fast as your little fingers can fly is, in all likelihood, rotting 6 feet below some nondescript, Midwestern backyard. It all happened one night in 1987; our beloved Keyboard Cat (formerly known as Fatso) raised his paw…

When AP reporters walked through turf where Islamic terrorists had been driven out by the French military, they found a curious photocopied document: a list of 22 tips for avoiding UAV death.

A Built-In Concrete Coaster Keeps These Glasses Dry

City Rain is a glass with a built-in concrete coaster. You never have to worry about getting rings on your tables, because it automatically soaks up any moisture. Each eight-ounce cup is $35. Sure that’s a little steep but each piece is custom and it’s a unique style. I really like when designers incorporate concrete…

Chromebook Pixel Hands-On: A Lightning Fast Laptop for the Life Online

Yes, the new Google Chromebook Pixel is relatively pricey—especially for something that’s not a “real” computer—but it does what it was designed to do really, really well. https://gizmodo.com/chromebook-pixel-googles-retina-touchscreen-macbook-5985832 The case is constructed of anodized aluminum and is surprisingly light (3.4 pounds) given its full-size keyboard.

It’s Shocking How Much Abuse This All Glass Snowboard Takes Before Breaking

For their latest creation, the folks at Signal Snowboards traveled to Italy where they took advantage of skilled local artisans to create what has to be the world’s first functional glass snowboard.

Twitter Interviews Are Now a Thing, Or Another Reason Life Is Meaningless

If you don’t want to read a piece about the horrid state of our society, please go no further.

Spring Snakes Were Probably the Inspiration For This Pop-Up Lantern

Inspiration can come from anywhere, and the classic spring snake can gag is probably where the idea for this collapsible LED lantern was born.

The Best Camera You Can Fit in Your Pocket Is Your Deal of the Day

Although the old axiom that the best camera is the one you have with you is still accurate in 2013, it should have an additional corollary: sometimes the best camera isn’t your cell phone. Tiny optics and sensors produce passable — even good — photos, but a real dedicated camera simply has more capabilities. That’s…
