This light bulb is promised to last 37 years. I probably need to change it one more time before I die. What a hassle.

Bad-@$$ Videogame Room

Really? An Atari Jaguar??? Didn’t it only have like 3 games? LoL.
I am not a hardcore gamer but I am definitely a gamer. The first ever video game that I played was Pong (so u can probably guess how old I am). Then I went through the Atari, Nintendo, Playstation, etc. So when I saw this picture, all I can say was AWESOME. Also this is not some non-functional museum piece – all the systems are plugged in and ready to go! Can you imagine how cool it’d be to just pick out a game on the left hand side and turn on any system and play it?! It’s safe to say, if that did happen, I could probably then die a happy man.
DIY Crystal cMoy Headphone Amp
May 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This is actually a headphone amplifier and it works just like an amplifier for your speaker. Audiophiles swear by it and, once you listen to one, you might also become a believer. This is a very clever design and its beautifully simple. Unfortunately, this is a concept product and is not yet for sale. The site does provide a schematic for those who are handy DIYers.
For more info check out: Instructables – Crystal cMoy Free Form Headphone Amplifier.

Strapya World Star Wars
May 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Since I am always on the lookout for Star Wars collectibles, I stumbled upon this website.
First of all, I fell in love with my GPS with built-in Darth Vader voice guiding me through the streets but I feel it’s sacrilege to have an R2-D2 soy sauce bottle or even the R2-D2 shampoo pump. Does George Lucas know this is happening?? On another note, I do love the idea of having a Silicone Ice Tray that can make ice in the shape of Han Solo in Carbonite. It will definitely be awesome to have a Frozen Han Solo floating around in my Margarita.

If you thought you saw all the Dark Knight trailers, check out this version of the trailers, but done in Lego. We should expect the Lego Dark Knight video game to follow soon. I have to admit though, Lego video games are one of the most kid-friendly game series around.

Orange by Takano Ichigo
May 18, 2012 by 1 Comment
We only ever regret the things we do not do in life. For Takamiya Naho, the sixteen year old heroine of the manga Orange by Takano Ichigo, regrets have plagued her since she started high school. She receives a letter from herself, ten years in the future. Her future self repeatedly wrote in her letters that she has had many regrets in her life and hopes that her sixteen year old self would not make the same mistakes. Naho falls in love with a classmate named Naruse Kakeru in the present, but in the future he is no longer alive. The future Naho asks her past self to watch over him and to always treasure loved ones or we will end up hating ourselves for the rest of our lives.
This manga is about love, regrets, and if given a second chance to change our past mistakes, would we ever take that chance? Fate can be cruel but only we can change it.

LEGO “Heavy Weapons”
May 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Do you have any summer reading plans? Might I suggest “LEGO Heavy Weapons” book from No Starch Press. It’s 368 pages of instructions on how to build 4 life-size guns with shooting action, like loading clips and firing brick ammo – and all from LEGOs. The book will show you how to piece together the Desert Eagle pistol, AKS-74U assault rifle, Jungle Carbine rifle, and SPAS shotgun. This kid Jack Streat from the UK started when he was just 13 years-old building LEGO firearms.

Anomaly Warzone Earth HD Game Review
May 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment
[Title Screen]
In the game, you command military units in various missions to escort, search and destroy, and kick alien butt through a hostile environment. There are two parts to the action, a tactical map and a battle mode.
The tactical map is your planning stage. Time stands still for you to decide which units to use and which route to plot through the battlefield. Once the units and route is in place, it’s time to set the troops in motion and switch to the battle mode.

Custom LEGO Avengers Weapons

LEGO has put lots Marvel’s Avengers LEGO toys on the retail shelf, but how about some custom “real life-size” Avengers weapons used by the superheroes in the movie? Ken Robichaud made his Avengers tribute with LEGO. The Hawkeye bow and arrows look amazing.
PiCycle The Electric Bike
May 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Even for a bicycle this is a very clever design, but here they push it even further – they made it into an electric bike. I never drove a hybrid, but just recently I drove the Lexus CT for a day and totally fell in love with it. On the downhill, the speed of the car is reduced, charging your battery and reducing your brake wear. This electric bicycle also contains a similar brake regenerative technology. Most electric bicycles I’ve seen don’t have that. Can’t wait to try one out. I’d wish the city would start a program where one can rent these from say the San Francisco Castro area, ride down Market Street, and end up at the Embarcadero – this would make going to work very enjoyable.
Peeing Video Game by SEGA

Usually the men’s restroom in public areas are a filthy mess. But maybe a interactive video game can help men shoot straight. Video game company SEGA will introduce the Toylet. You get points for shooting straight.
