Awesome Etc

We never would have thought the stoplight needed a makeover, but Art Lebedev’s Luxofor concept makes sense: square lights use space more efficiently and are more noticeable.

Easily the most important invention since the light bulb: avoid sky-high stadium prices by smuggling in brewskies with Beer Belly, which when hidden under your shirt looks like its namesake.

BASE jumpers may be clinically insane, but we have to give props to this duo who jumped off the Burj Dubai (the world’s tallest building); the actual jump at 4:30 is breathtaking.

Guy dancing alone = goofy. People around the world dancing with him, from Chicago to Paris to the West Bank = awesome. The human spirit wins out huge on this gloriously sharp HD video.

Dave, let me sing dance for you: papercraft isn’t usually our thing, but Shunichi Makin’s HAL 9000 templates not only look good but feature fairly complex legs that can swivel and kick.

South Park has always scored points for relevance (or irrelevance), and the clip above is no different: a classroom turns into a Call of Duty: WaW session. In Cartman’s words: “You got pwned!”

If you can tolerate the trippy soundtrack, the video above is a fascinating look into the world of a graphic artist; watch as Chad Pugh works on his Science Machine print, for sale here.

The Daily Show’s John Oliver takes one last parting shot at the famous “Magic Wall” used in the US elections; there are some hilarious moments as he takes on CNN’s own John King.

If you liked Zelda with Tesla Coils, get ready for a “power” trip: Tesla Downunder has over 200 high voltage projects. Above is a Red Alert reenactment; can you spot the engineer?

Even if you take out the fact that Matt Duffin paints with hot wax, his largely monochrome artwork has a moody, textured style that appeals to loner dudes (and gals) everywhere.

All we can say is wow: Kevin of Ft. Wayne is a handlebar virtuoso, riding his bike in this Guitar Hero viral marketing video; the song is The Living End’s Prisoner of Society.

Always a conspicuous omission from Apple’s laptops, the Numberkey iPhone App just makes perfect sense: for $2, it’ll use WiFi and turn your iPhone into a virtual 18-key numpad.

They’re just concepts, but we love these PSP billboards painted to look transparent; Spidey and the errant TIE fighter look great, but there’s no topping that rooftop sniper.

Thumbing their noses at pirates, the comedians at Monty Python have taken a big, lumberjack-sized leap into the 21st century: they’ve created their own high quality YouTube channel.

It looks like someone had a field day with a shrink ray, but this DIY Mac Pro Mini is actually made from the salvaged mobo of a damaged MacBook and a Macally hard drive enclosure.

Due to its very nature, recycled art can often be a bit trashy; not so for Ptolemy Elrington, whose Hubcap Creatures are easily some of the coolest biomechanical creations ever.
