La Scala's pimped-out jacuzzi, termed a "Jetted Entertainment Bath", is just another in a long line of life's Catch-22 creations. It costs $40 grand, so if I could convince the bank to give me a loan for it, I'd probably have...
Artist Ryan McArthur might just be Epson printing a name for himself as an icon of icons. His Walking Dead Minimalist Prints gave understated life to the essences of Sheriff Rick Grimes & Co., and now his Star Wars Prints...
Cool: A hot-rolled and stainless steel table fashioned to look like a floppy disk. Cooler: The metal guard plate on it slides back to reveal a secret storage space. Holy crap. I am nearing giddiness watching the GIF on its constant loop. Bloop! Remote control. Bloop! Solid surface. Sickness! In addition to its Bond-like compartment, the floppy disk table's special snowflake qualities include hand-forging...
As digitial artist and iPoo creator, Milos Paripovic, so eloquently puts it: If you look at a toilet and see the Apple logo, that's commentary on your psyche, not his design. This silver spectacle was lovingly contoured to...
They can make a lamp out of salt? That's crazy! I'm Brian Fellow!* And this Himalayan salt skull lamp is Henry! No, seriously. The Spice of Light already named the lamp. That kind of sucks. So now if I buy it it'll be like...
Of course there's no escaping the Dark Knight ever, but there's particularly no escaping the Dark Knight this week. Although this tour de force of Batman schwag goes way back--as in even before Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan--to recount 70 years worth of mayhem and destruction courtesy of the Bat world's most devious and deadly. The Myriad Monikers of Gotham's Villains, another superb taxonomical...
And not only does it look like running water, but it emulates the molecule's flow. The more you crank on the Light Drop Wall Lamp's taps, the more wattage its faucets crank out. Rafael Morgan's plumbing fixture illumination...

If bat shit looked like 1000mW of ice-blue lightning, the S3 Spyder III Arctic Laser would be the physical manifestation of bat shit crazy. As it stands, the world's most powerful laser is just fuckin' nuts. Wicked Lasers' (absolutely, 100% legal) handheld bolt of pure spectral power counts amongst its marketable skills the ability to: Sear through ornery plastic, pop bitch-ass balloons, burn continuously, 24/7, without sustaining damage to its laser diode, function in 9 different operating modes, including Strobe, Constant Wave, SOS, Beacon, and Tactical Hibernation, emit 0.25 Lux of light at a distance of 6,856 meters, turn anyone it hits in the eye at a distance of 149 meters or less into Ray Charles, minus the musical talent and soul.
And if that weren't enough to get it laid every day for the duration of its 5,000+-hour serviceable life, Guinness is currently testing the S3 Arctic for the official title of World's Most Powerful Laser.
The S3 Arctic Series Laser resides in an aircraft grade aluminum chassis that's smaller than a standard flashlight.

Like stackable soap, AutoStir self-stirring microwave dish is a rather elegant solution to an age-old perturbance--in this case, the uneven distribution of heat during nuking. How many times have you seared off a few layers...
Now this is just what the Doctor ordered. A Dalek who wants to smoke a few bowls, chill out, and make love (and nachos and microwave brownies) not war. No longer on a mission to "Exterminate!" the only thing the Dalek Pipe...

I think I would have preferred Fire Mario, but fake Zelda flames still trump the burning embers of an electric insert or flat screen loop. Especially an NES Zelda fire, in all of its pixelated glory. Etsy vendor James Bit...

I'm not easily impressed--well, unless a double muscled Belgian blue bull is involved--but the first words that come to mind as I check out Ben Riddering's Hanging Beds are "whoa," "dude," and "impressive." I especially like...
