Snack attack
Bigger is better. Especially in the case of popular snacks. Like Cadbury Cream Eggs or Iced Vovos. Which is why it’s my pleasure to draw your attention to Pimp that Snack. Where common snacks become uncommon.
Shirt of the Day: Happy v Sad
This is a bittersweet design. I likes it a lot.
How to mow a hedge
New Zealand has crazy hedges. They were one of the first things I noticed when we flew in last year. Keeping those hedges neat and tidy must present a real issue. Lucky there are a bunch of enterprising kiwis out there on the case.
With a crane and a ride on lawn mower.
Tetris chair looks tessellatingly comfortable
Moving furniture is a pain. Wouldn’t life be grand if all furniture was Tetris shaped?
Here’s a chair to bring your moving dream one step closer to reality.
Chemical Cupcakes
Amy pointed out recently that “Chemical Free” is a stupid claim to make for anything of substance – but food particularly.
She had a point.
These cupcakes however, completely embrace the inner chemical…
Mmm. I’ll take
How to paint your next car
Pacman cars are great for running over blue ghosts. Just make sure you’ve used the right fuel.
From Flickr.
And another one.
Mr Potato Head and his many potato friends
If you’ve got some ink, some potatoes, and too much time on your hands you too could create an army of potato people. If you don’t have any of those things there’s always this gallery…
Christmas Wishlist: Sportscar Segway
This one’s from Flickr – and is (fictionally or otherwise) scheduled for release in 2035 with a pricetag of $500,000.
Start saving.
At only 1077 pounds with the new S260 supercharged engine, the 0-60 time is only 2.02 seconds. The steering wheel, brakes and gas pedal have been replaced with a “T” handle. Lotus has upped the Track Pack to handle up to 3G turns. With a top speed of 188 miles per hour, you’ll zip past the other traffic, trains and some small planes on the way to work.
Christmas Wishlist: A hovercraft
You can buy me this for $14,000. You’d have to really love me. Which you do. Right?
It’s a slightly more awesome Segway.
Hovercrafts are not just very unique and unusual gifts, they are actually available. They only require gasoline and will transport you at approximately 15 mph. Operate them over concrete, asphalt, grass or shallow wet areas, but you cannot hover over water, sand, stones or dirt-filled areas due to the bottomside vacuum.
Find Jesus in your pancakes
You know how people are always “finding” Jesus in their burnt toast, or odd patterns of mildew on walls… well here’s a guaranteed way to find Jesus in your breakfast…
Eight bit embroidery
This is a terrific Flickr set of eight bit cushions, quilt covers and miscellaneous manchester.
Here are some favourites.
This lot flips over and becomes this lot…
Retreating into a bottle
I’d like to live in a beer bottle one day. I think this is probably someone’s pet. The site I found it on wasn’t too sure. But they were hippies – and we can’t expect too much from hippies. I have a new goal in life… not to live in a beer bottle – but to have a crab living inside a broken beer bottle.
Mix it up
This seems slightly pointless – but it’s a nice little piece of design.
Mix tapes were cool. If you’re feeling a pang of nostalgia you can buy one of these tape like cases for a USB drive and put your favourite MP3s on the stick.
Hooray.
