And is it really that much different to playing with Google Earth on this gigantic 48 screen display that covers 40 square meters with almost 100 million pixels? Like an ultra-modern version of the Orient Express, this installation lets you travel in comfort. Except…

A Google Search For “Let It Snow” Guarantees a White Christmas

Google seems to be trying its hand at a lot of things these days. And you can now add ‘weather control experiments’ to its list of success stories with the company’s latest Easter Egg. Just do a regular old search for “let it snow” and then sit back with a warm mug of hot chocolate…

This Is How Photographers Shop For Groceries

This re-usable shopping bag was created by Singapore-based design agency One Paradox to promote Canon’s 500D DSLR. The sides of the bag each feature an image of the 500D as it appears to hang from the bag’s neck strap handles. Every photography store on the planet, or at least the ones I shop at, should…

I Need This Vans Waffle Sole iPhone Case To Be Real

Until today I’ve never even considered putting a case on my iPhone. Naked and free is the way I prefer to use it. But that all changed when I gazed upon this case featuring Vans’ iconic waffle sole tread. According to posts on OffTheWallSite.net—a forum focusing on Vans sneaks—the rare case was originally created as…

Mannequin Maker Undresses The Commander-in-Chief To Help Sell Khakis

You know that feeling when try on a pair of new pants at home only to find they don’t make you look as presidential as you thought they did in store? That’s probably because they were modeled by Obama himself. Or at least, a close facsimile of the 44th president of the United States. According…

Is This DIY Sculpture the Best We Can Do With Levitating Magnets?

Back to the Future II came out in 1989, and by 2011 I assumed that hoverboards would be cheap and plentiful. But here we are 22 years later and this tiny floating magnet sculpture is the closest thing we’ve got. Laaaame! Now don’t get me wrong—magnets are still fascinating and science is still cool—but seeing…

Glowing Apple Logo iPhone Mod Will Soon Be Gone (The Lawyers Are Circling)

Perhaps realizing that Apple will quickly put an end to this unofficial mod, the K.O. Store is only selling this DIY luminescent logo iPhone kit for just over 36 more hours. So if you want one, you better act fast. The $43 kit only requires your skillful use of screwdrivers, sticky tape, and a willingness…

PotatOS Kit Turns a Portal 2 Gag Into a Science Fair Project

It’s not going to guarantee you an A+ like showing up with a working portal gun would. But you can still wow your teachers by building your own version of Portal 2’s potato-powered AI, even though the kit’s a fraud. With the included metal pins, alligator clips, and wiring, it looks like this sass-talking portable…

That’s Not a Knife, This Is a Knife—No, Wait, That’s a Spatula

Oh Paul Hogan, even 30 years after you ceased to be relevant you can still make me laugh—much like these folding grilling implements. They’re just so cute! And with Winter coming on strong, my grilling plans may be on hold, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still want a set. The Folding Grill Tool set…

It doesn’t take the detective prowess of Sam Spade to see how awesome this 289-footer is. It can take you from New York to Barcelona in ten days flat in the lap of luxury. The Maltese Falcon has a top speed of 18 knots—over 20 mph—that’s way speedy for a sailboat, especially one that’s 40…

Why on Earth Would You Need a Glow-In-The-Dark Crowbar?

No, seriously, that’s not the lead-in to a joke or anything. I’m genuinely curious as to why anyone would need to do demo work in the dark. Sure the Glowbar is cool with its high-carbon steel construction and Silicate-Aluminium-Oxide-based powder coating—allowing it to glow 10 times more brightly than other glowing compounds. But why? Like…

What Soldiers Look Like Before, During and After War

Photographer Claire Felicie’s Marked project shows the faces of soldiers before, during and after war. The differences are slight but undeniable. Skin is weathered, wrinkles are deeper and eyes are sadder. See for yourself. Felicie took these portraits of marines in the 13th infantry company of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps from 2009-2010. Maybe I’m…
