SOS/Soup Bowl by StudioBo

So while I was checking around the StudioBo site for this post on Colors Are Overrated, I couldn't help but notice these delightfully sick ceramic bowls, designed to show a ship and a plane in a position of distress, having crashed into your soup.

If you had a bowlful of Siege's chili there, you would know that all the little people would have been dead instantly.

On Air light for your iPod

The folks at Cephalopodcast have figured out a way to let people know that the mic is on and could they please go the hell away because you're recording a podcast: an "On Air" sign for your iPod. Just follow his instructions and you won't have to write it on a sticky and place it on your forehead like our friend, Bernard Black.

And once that's done, take some masking tape, make "walls" around your desk and bitch at people when they refuse to come through the "door" like a proper person.

Neatorama points us to some kickass antique (some real, some reproductions) phones for sale at Distinctive Telephones. We call them Miriam's Dead phones, as a nod to a Dylan Moran routine.

But basically all you need to know is that they could only be used in hand to hand combat by a large ogre, since they're so freaking heavy. Slamming the receiver down, though, is not only satisfying but a good upper body workout.

Problem Light

This is a brilliant mashup between steampunkery and Venture Bros. I want one. Of course, I don't know it would ever go off, but still. I want one.

Found via Boing Boing.

Sesame Street pinball clock

This Instructable shows you how you can make your very own clock, just like the one featured in the timeless Pinball Song from Sesame Street.

Now if somebody can make an alarmed version that actually plays the song, that somebody will be treated to a double word score, that's for damn sure.
