Lounge Chair Made of Recycled Keyboards

thumb

The Text-ile (get it? text-ile?) Chair was designed by Dante Bonuccelli for the 2009 UMUL Project (Use More, Use Less) and is made almost entirely of recycled computer keyboards. Supposedly it might add a level of comfort to the chair when the keys depress when sat upon. I’m not sure if I buy ...

B0rked RROD XBox 360 Turned into Arcade Style Joystick

thumb

When your XBox 360 gets the RROD (red ring of death) and is totally broken you don’t have too many options, especially if it’s out of warranty already (although some people are able to get theirs replaced). Anyway, one modder, Seppun, decided to take his machine and craft it into a DIY arcade ...

Rubik’s Cube Calendar Might Take All Day to Solve

thumb

The problem with the Rubik’s Cube Perpetual Calendar is that by the time you “solve” it and get the date set, it will probably be nearly time to set it again. The calendar is pretty cool to look at, with the retro-style fonts and Rubik’s good looks but it does actually properly ...

Bacon- is there anything you can’t do? No the bacon gun doesn’t shoot sausage bullets, although that would be super cool. The BA-K-47 is a life sized replica of an AK47 made entirely of bacon goodness (with a little bit of wire for support). When I go, I want to be taken out ...

Be Careful this Tie is Really a Camera

thumb

This post’s title is a little bit of sly reference to the Simon and Garfunkel song America (great song btw, I also like the Gimon and Sarfunkel version). Everyone’s favorite weird gadget maker Thanko (JP) has come out with another winner- it’s a necktie that houses a built in super-stealthy spy camera. ...
