Like any kid who ever opened up the right box of Cracker Jack, I have always loved those nifty lenticular doodads that change the image depending on the angle at which you are looking at it. Dave Spencer of instructables.com apparently opened the same boxes, and he’s written up a [...]
Morning Tonic: Illinois Tourism Posters
4 Comments Published by Joel May 8th, 2007 in Art, Tonic, Travel. Share ThisWhile spending any unnecessary time in Illinois is still low on my list of things to do, I appreciate the Illinois Bureau of Tourism’s pluck in promoting this new set of posters (of which these are only two of maybe two dozen) that attractively detail the things that Illinois is famous for. Besides Chicago, of [...]
Gamer Widows, Rejoice!
2 Comments Published by Alex May 7th, 2007 in Art, Gadgets, Milestones, Relationships, Sex. Share ThisIt’s so common it’s a cliche: game geeks’ girlfriends and wives never get any action. For some ridiculous reason, video games are all too frequently more compelling to this dork set of society than their partner’s jubblies. JennyLC Chowdhury, an Interactive Telecommunications grad student at NYU, has created a possible solution to this problem with [...]
I’d like to say that I’m all about art, neat gadgets, and fine cuisine, but the truth is I’m still stuck in sopho-moronic sex, drugs, and rock and roll phase. [may not be a "phase"] Nevertheless, here’s a nifty invention that does take me a step in the aforementioned direction: The Chork.
Combining the basic idea [...]
Fanboys (and that rare and wonderful breed of women, the elusive Fangirls) cheer for the stupid and yet so cool release of Jim Phillips’ Screaming Hand. It’s a hand, and it’s screaming. That’s it. Why is it so cool, because it’s blue? Because I’m a loser?
I’m looking at this thinking in no uncertain terms that [...]
If the only thing you know of comic books are superheroes and the movies based on them, you’re missing out: some of the best stories being told today are being told through comics. (Some personal favorites over the last few years include Promethia, Fables, Y: The Last Man, and Walking Dead, just to give you [...]
No Regrets: Saftey Pinned Forearm Scar
5 Comments Published by Alex May 4th, 2007 in Art. Share ThisMost of the time we like to post up images of bad, really bad, and super bad ink that only complete dickheads bereft of the clue would wear, but every once in a while we come across something that just works so well that we have to throw it up here instead. This one kind [...]
Astonishing what the average mortal can accomplish when he has a sick dream and the wherewithal to realize it. (The videographer put it best when he asks if there is a history of mental illness in the driver’s family.)
It’s a bumpy, noisome ride, could use a nice fiberglass cover, and I doubt that, in [...]
Edutainment For Men: The Big Coloring Book of Vaginas
2 Comments Published by Alex May 2nd, 2007 in Art, Games, Sex. Share ThisAll I can say is that this looks like fun, and for many men who haven’t taken Biology of Women in college, it’s probably going to prove to be educational as well. Here’s the author’s own description:
Vaginas are a fingerprint. Captured in this book along with fun puzzles and games is the uniqueness of [...]
Not that we would ever publicly advocate the heinous act of defacing public or private property, but there have been people putting their marks on wall since the dawn of man, and it simply ain’t gonna stop; however, it is getting increasingly sophisticated. A current favorite is actually a ramping-down of technology; unlike other recent [...]
Timewasters Of Merit: The International Illustrated
0 Comments Published by Alex April 23rd, 2007 in Art, Gadgets. Share This“Art is a lie that tells us the truth.” - Picasso
Yeah, whatever, Pablo. Some of us just like looking at the pretty pictures. Pretty pictures are not just for children, overpriced restaurants and tripping people. They’re also for you, the overworked underachiever, slogging away on a Monday morning while trying to fill out your TPS [...]

Drive one day less and look at how much carbon monoxide you’ll keep out of the air we breathe.
