Homemade Death Ray?

Homemade Death Ray?

Yeah, we thought the Mythbusters proved a solar death ray was impossible, but Eric Jacqmain claims his 5,800 mirror-tile-covered satellite dish has the “Power of 5,000 suns.” Um, you be the judge.

Sony has released the official footage of the unveiling of the Next Generation Portable. It’s split into 6 parts and is 2 hours long in total, so put down your PSP, this is going to take a while.

Honest Food Prep Instructions

Honest Food Prep Instructions

Using quick cook food is a half-assed way of cooking. They’re testaments to our laziness. In fact, we’re so lazy we’re not even willing to follow the steps it takes to make these things properly.

Why Knot?

Why Knot?

This kinetic sculpture was made by Seth Goldstein. The complicated device continually ties and unties a necktie. Not a bad way to symbolize the monotony of a working man’s life.

Road House (Blu-ray)

Road House (Blu-ray)

It could be the best worst movie ever made – loaded with epic bar brawls, cheesy dialog and all the Swayze you can handle. We can’t decide if the Double Deuce would look better on VHS, though.

Etsy seller Bottlehood upcycles used bottles from various drinks – softdrinks, wine, beer, vodka – cutting off their necks and smoothing the rims to create these neat tumblers.

The Witty Bouncer

The Witty Bouncer

Day at the Beach

Day at the Beach

It’s a sunny day, and Frenchy – think Mr. Bean, only more sophisticated – had a simple plan. Just him, a bottle of wine and a block of Brie at the beach. The day was more eventful than planned.

Buy

This clever receptacle from KegWorks is a combination of a 1 oz. inner cup and a larger 4 oz. cup. Despite their unusual shape, the cups are still stackable. Less waste, more drinking.

A Real Life Sorting Hat

A Real Life Sorting Hat

Still miss Jack Bauer’s capers on 24? Channel his boldness with 24: The Fragrance, a cologne with spicy oriental undertones (probably from being tortured on that Chinese barge in season 6).

Year of the Rabbit

Year of the Rabbit

Your astrological sign may have changed, but if you were born in 1975, 1987 or 1999 this is your year, Rabbit (in Chinese zodiac). 39 Degrees North explains why you are superior here. (Thanks Rob!)

’56 Cadillac Brougham Prototype

’56 Cadillac Brougham Prototype
Buy

The 1956 Eldorado Brougham Town Car Prototype had quite an elitist design. While the rear half had gold-trimmed leather seats and amenities, the chauffeur half of the car didn’t even have a roof.

Squeeze Me (Music Video)

Squeeze Me (Music Video)

WEARWILL’s video for Dutch artists Kraak & Smaak (which means “Crunch and Taste”) overlays the background with a simple, but clever gimmick – a flipbook for animating the foreground elements.

The Daily Commute

The Daily Commute

Over 2-months, this bike rider decided to capture video of all of the idiots who cut him off on his ride to work in Dublin, Ireland. We can’t decide which is better, the video or the Jimmy Buffett song.

Antoine Montant, the world’s leading speed flyer (a mix of skiing, paragliding and sky diving), pulls off the first-ever speed ride, gliding some floaty cool moves along the old cable car line in Chamonix.
