Now you can stop them with these Anti-Theft Lunch Bags.

Our staff member SW Biko likes burgers and making burgers with the Burger Stomper, but you still need a grill – and this grill from Blacktop is neat. The Blacktop 360 is portable, a BBQ grill and the best part, is in the middle of the unit – the fryer. Now you can deep your very own corn dogs, fries, nuggets, just whaterever …
Way back in the 1990s, SEGA released a neat little 2D platformer game with Disney character Mickey Mouse. The Castle of Illusion side-scroller was a hit game for the Genesis/Mega Drive and found it’s way onto the Master System and Game Gear consoles too. Two sequels would also come – Land of Illusion (1992) and World of Illusion (1993).

A custom “Fallout” Monopoly-style board game as a birthday present for the wife. It’s not easy, since it took 8 months to make this.
Okay, this may look cool, but knowing drivers here in the US, this will cause some major rubbernecking and accidents! In Vietnam, this “Dragon Bridge” built over Han River in Da Nang was opened to the public last month. The construction of this bridge started in July 2009 costing over $85 million dollars US and has six lanes for cars. The dragon can release fire or water. Maybe this is what a futuristic Games of Throne city would look like!

If you’re a film fanatic like me, this FILMography art project by photographer Christopher Moloney is truly awesome. He takes a scene from a movie and finds the actual location of where the scene was shot.
The Sega Master System (SMS) didn’t get the props or sales numbers like it’s rival Nintendo Entertainment System during the 1980s, but I thought it had great games and graphics. And I still have the system and it still works!!! Here’s a one-off tribute by French video game blogger Subby-kun and his wife Subbinette. The sofa is the main unit while the pillows make the two joysticks.
Who doesn’t want to draw comics like Jack Kirby, Will Eisner and Jim Lee? Nobody starts off the gates drawing comics, cartoons and creating iconic characters without the basics. The A-B-C’s of drawing is what gets you from Point A to Point B. In our day of digital technology we can find art instruction on-line. I learned my cooking & cocktail recipes and Photoshop tutorials on YouTube. Sometimes, you need a little old school instruction and we’re going back to the early 20th century with commercial artist Andrew Loomis (1892-1959). Mr Loomis was well known for his various instructional art books and many of these books are not in print anymore. Fun with a Pencil was published back in 1939 and thanks to Titan Books, this instructional art book is in bookstore shelves.
Jay Leno’s likes hot hatches too! He test drives the Euro-spec 2010 Ford Focus RS. Please, Ford bring the next RS to the USA.
Raise your tequila guns in the air and open your mouth! Instead of the usual tequila bottle packaging, they made a bottle look like a gun filled with tequila. There are two versions, one is Glock 9mm & a classic Revolver and it also comes with 2 shot glasses. And we will definitely buy these for our Retrenders video editor and tequila-loving friend – Mr. Johnny Moreno!

This kid likes to put himself into pictures with other superheroes and anime characters. It’s pretty neat. Illustrations by 蓋老師.
