Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Have we ever talked about something that qualifies as morbid whimsy that's a lamp? I don't remember. But this certainly fits: an anthropomorphized lightbulb on the gallows. If you own one of these, do you get to say "Dead bulb walking" on your way to change out the light? Categorized as: Gear

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Found this little gem on Grinding.be, The MIHARU Intraoral Camera. Now you can examine your teeth for pesky plague in the comfort of your own home. You can also check out all those hard to see places for a mere $159. I thought I'd share some thoughts. First: what kind of obsessive compulsive sufferer needs this? Who really needs to see how much tartar buildup they have? If you practise regular brushing and have regular dentist appointments and you still need to spend $159 on this, you might need to see a different kind of doctor. Second: you have to hook this gadget into your TV. So you can share the interior of your mouth or any other orifice with the whole family. The ad doesn't say if it's HD-compliant, but does the average layperson need that much detail? Third: we're going to see porn shot from the 'penis' point of view any day now. If it's not out there already. Categorized as: Gear

It really, really should be. Mostly because when I try to draw the lines on my hand, I can't ever get them that straight. Categorized as: Gear

Comments on this: 2 so far. Add your own.  Yes, I know...when I first saw this over on NotCot, I thought it was a joke too. But apparently not. blu-ray, CARGOs revolutionary new collection originally created for make-up artists filiming in high-definition, is designed to provide flawless results while maintaining a perfectly natural look. Because life happens in High-Definition… I don't know about you, but my life is definitely not happening in high-definition. My life is on one of those tiny screens in Brazil with the giant magnifying glass in front of it and meaningless characters streaming up its length, like a steampunk Matrix. In fact, my life is a bare bones Warner Brothers DVD release in one of those annoying snap cases. Released in full frame. Without even a trailer. What format is your life in? Categorized as: Gear

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Joe Michaels hacked a Holographic Cobra Commander action figure to turn him into a USB drive. You can get all the details here. But after seeing that, an idea for a follow-up character-into-USB-drive conversion came to mind and I'm amazed that a Google search reveals I'm the first one to document it. It's so terribly simple:  Arnim Zola. I mean, he's 90% there before you've even started. Rig it so his face lights up when you plug him in. You know you want to. Categorized as: Gear
