Tron Duck Tape commercial is best ad ever

, Aug 23rd 2011 Discuss [13]

I know I have spent my share of time thinking that Tronguy is a major dork. I am 100% sure that I am not the only one to think this. When you slide your portly frame into a skin tight, homemade Tron suit people are going to judge. Tronguy has landed himself in a commercial that is simply the geekiest and best commercial to ever hit the web. Read The Full Story

MGM wants to blow up 27-story Las Vegas hotel that has never been used

, Aug 19th 2011 Discuss [16]

One of the places in the US that most epitomizes the fact that we are constantly rebuilding and recycling landmarks is Las Vegas. Landmark hotels that were places some of the most famous people of all time stayed and played are destroyed to put up newer, larger hotels to attract visitors. MGM built a new hotel in Vegas called Harmon Tower that has had a bunch of issues crop up during its build. Read The Full Story

Gross photo of deceased pet is made from pets own ashes

, Aug 18th 2011 Discuss [8]

This may be the most disturbing and gross photo I have ever seen. I can understand that some people love their pets so much that they have photos of them and treat them like kids. I get that pets mean a lot to some people. I can also understand people wanting to bury their pet in a cemetery and all that stuff. Cremating a pet is a bit off though and when you then take those ashes and use them to print a photo of your dead animal that's just plain weird. Read The Full Story

, Aug 15th 2011 Discuss [0]

If you are the sort that is really into photography and happens to think lenses sitting around your home or office is the perfect sort of décor, you need these shot glasses. When it comes time to get your drink on you can take these shot glasses and gulp down your favorite adult beverage and you can use them for other things too. The glasses look just like tiny Canon DSLR lenses. Read The Full Story

DIY castle sculptures are made from human hair

, Aug 1st 2011 Discuss [0]

Man is this one gross DIY project. I would never in a million years make it as a barber. Getting other people's hair on me is really gross. I would certainly not make it as an artists who uses other people's hair as a medium for creating. I just couldn't do it. I'm not sure how the artist that made the castle sculptures you see here came to use hair for building blocks. Read The Full Story

Chinese dude takes fake MacBook Air into real Apple Store for support

, Jul 29th 2011 Discuss [32]

I'm not sure what to think of this Chinese dude that took a fake MacBook Air to one of the only real Apple Stores in the country for support. Either the man is a moron that thinks his cut price FauxBook Air is real or he has the biggest balls of them all. The weird part is the Apple Genius at the store the dude made an appointment with actually helped him. Read The Full Story

Idiot gets stuck in manhole trying to retrieve mobile phone

, Jul 26th 2011 Discuss [9]

How do I even start this? If stupid was an Olympic sport this dude would be the Michael Phelps of idiots. You have to watch the whole video below see the dude's injuries for yourself and then decide how legit his story is. I'm calling BS. To the dude stuck in a storm drain, think up a better lie to avoid embarrassment next time or better yet, just stay off the news. Read The Full Story

Titanium drinking straw for the neurotic geek

, Jul 21st 2011 Discuss [1]

I used to work with a woman that was weird. She had an unnatural fear of balloons and always brought her own straws to work. Apparently, she didn’t trust the balloons to not pop on her randomly and getting a straw out of a box was gross. What that woman needs is this titanium drinking straw. You can cram it into just about anything you want to drink from oranges to milk cartons. Read The Full Story

Indian eye doctor creates contact lenses made from gold and diamonds

, Jul 19th 2011 Discuss [4]

My mom wears contacts and I can remember her always cleaning them and complaining about how much they bothered her eyes. I would never wear contacts just for style and I think we can be honest in saying that the contacts that try to change the color of your eyes aren’t fooling anyone. If you are rich and want some contacts that have more bling than something that just makes your eyes look gold Shekhar Eye Research has your lenses. Read The Full Story

Concrete Building Blocks look like LEGO

, Jul 13th 2011 Discuss [0]

I like LEGO blocks and I really like to see the creations that geeks get up to making when they have plenty of blocks at their disposal. The thing that all the LEGO blocks I have seen in the past have in common is that they are made from plastic. A designer on Etsy has some cool LEGO blocks that aren’t made from plastic even thought they are sized like your typical block. Read The Full Story

DIY wooden 5230 B front shovel makes me go hmmm

, Jul 7th 2011 Discuss [0]

On one hand I look at this wooden 5230 front shovel and think dude, whoa, that is awesome. On the other I look at this wooden front shovel and think, dude WTF, it's a wooden front shovel. I can't say that I would sit down with plans to come up with a wooden build project with the most tedious and awesome details I have ever seen and decide to make the project a replica of something like a piece of earth moving gear.

Florafil covers your cables with weird

, Jul 5th 2011 Discuss [1]

I will admit that cables are ugly; they are even uglier when I install something because I just don’t care what the cables running on and behind my desk look like. If you are the sort that gets a panic attack each time you see a cable showing you might want the Florafil to hide them. These are covers that you can put over just about any cable.
