The Somewhat Ambitious

Remember on Star Trek: The Next Generation when Lt. Barclay had made all those twisted fantasy programmes on the Enterprise holodeck in which he could fulfill all of his sickest dreams involving the three musketeers, Wesley eating pie and Troi talking dirty on a swing?
Yeah, me neither.
Anyway, turns out the holodeck could become a reality, [...]

Ever wanted to steal a fridge with your fist? Yeah, me too. The new N50 wedding ring might make that dream come true, due to the fact that it’s essentially a super-magnet. The only problem? There’s no off-switch, meaning you probably couldn’t wear it into your local video store, nor could you lovingly stroke the [...]

If you happen to own a guitar (an electric one, not one of those hippie bullshit wooden whatevers strummed by Ani Difranco*) and find yourself frequently out of reach of your amp, guess what? You’re an idiot. Stop carrying an electric guitar around, it makes you look like an extra in Wayne’s World. But if [...]

Pictured above is the Mister Nesbit Grooming Kit, perfect for running from the law, provided you’ve been trapped in a mid-era Hitchcock film. The reason I said “SQUEEEEE!” out loud when I saw it was due in part to the name, but mostly because of the sheer opulence of it. The overwhelming vintage quality is [...]

Ever wanted to have a secret message wrapped around your finger, like some sort of weird bipedal carrier pigeon?* Good luck picking up women, stupid, you’re swimming with disease! But for those of us who aren’t cooing and crapping on statues, Jonathon Ben-Tovim has designed a series of encoder rings which can be peppered with [...]

Imagine my delight when a [...]

Ted Hunter has crafted this fantastic skateboard staircase, which is somewhat eerily grip-free. It now resides in the Roarockit skateboard deck woodworking school. It grabbed my attention because back in the day (”the day” being the first and second years of my film degree) I skated. Partly because I thought it made me look cool, [...]

If you recall, a few weeks back I basically blew my load on the Breakfast Show over the Back to the Future car, which was for sale at the time. In what may be an equally awesome piece of nerddom come to life, the intrepid Daniel Deutsch has MADE LUKE SKYWALKER’S LANDSPEEDER. It has a [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a gadget quite this badly. The Draganfly UAV, which looks like a cutter from Half Life 2, is actually a heli-cam. This is apparently the X6 model, and the carbon body allows it to zip around for 30 minutes, in the face of up to 18 miles an hour [...]

Fun fact: Michael Keaton nestled his snug, latex-covered ass in one of five Batmobiles created for the 1989 Batman movie.
Funner fact: One of these Batmobiles is up for snap auction at Ebay RIGHT NOW.
Fun Conclusion: You have a chance of nestling your (possibly) snug ass in the same Batmobile ass groove as Michael Keaton/Batman.
Fun note: [...]
