Every husband or boyfriend would gladly do the weekly food march for his woman if all grocery stores had this. I think store managers should learn from the guys that built this beautiful display. If all of them did something to this extent I’m sure they’d get more business in a heartbeat (or a Koopa stomp).

And you may have seen these before but they’re certainly worth another look:
This might be one of the better things you can do with the sour fruit. What are your other options? Lemonade of course, but that is just so typical. You could make a lemon tart, but those never come out right. Squeezed in your iced tea is an okay option…better yet over your King crab legs. I think I’m going to turn my entire fruit basket into little Stewies. Here is some enternal wisdom from the wee devil:
It wasn’t even about the eggs, really. Frankly, I like the yolks. I have no problem. There’s always been a lot of tension between Lois and me. And it’s not so much that I want to kill her, it’s just, I want her not to be alive anymore. I sometimes wonder if all women are this difficult. And then I think to myself, ‘My God wouldn’t it be marvelous if i turned out to be a homosexual?’ – Stewie Griffin
With StarCraft II hitting store shelves this week and over 2 million copies sold already, it was only a matter of time before someone made a LEGO stop-motion of it. Here you have the blue Terran forces faceing off against the red Protoss threat in a classic battle for map domination and vespian gas!
The amazing people at Little Mountain Productions have constructed an amazing replica of the Millennium Falcon for a 9-year old boy named Christopher with the aid of the Make -A-Wish Foundation.
We are delivering this to 9 year old Christian tomorrow with Make-A-Wish. This will top off his new play fort in his back yard. It even has solar powered LED interior and exterior lighting.
I wasn’t able to find information on who much it cost to build or how long it took but this thing is well worth whatever effort went into it. Christopher will be one happy camper when he receives this thing. How awesome would it be to have this “fort” in your backyard. Here’s to hoping that Christopher gets to spend a lot of years playing with this phenomenal creation.
If you’re like me you grew up playing with LEGOs and probably later in life played chess. Well I actually had the original LEGO Mindstorm set and I loved that thing to no end. Some dudes over at Team Hassen have built the ultimate combination of both. They’ve made a fully playable monster chess set using the LEGO Mindstorm set. How dang awesome is this thing? Check out the videos.
Quick Facts
Over 100,000 LEGO® pieces
37,612 in the chess board
17,748 in the robot bases
17,114 in the bodies
22,688 in the mosaics
1,853 in the move selection center
Total retail cost: around $30,000
Size of board: 156ft2 (14.5m2)
Took 4 people about a year to create
I’m actually not even a big gamer. I like the idea of video games and I always want to get into them but when it really comes around to it I often stop playing after only a half hour or so…and then I rarely get back into the game. Neither here nor there, I heard about this awesome thing a few indie game developers are doing and I just had to tell you about it.
The crew over at Wolfire have collected 5 games from indie developers all of which are DRM free and will run on Windows, Mac or Linux. Here’s the thing…normally they retail for a combined $80 but they’ve agreed to sell them to you at whatever price you deem appropriate. You literally set the price you think is fair…and even better, some of the proceeds go to Child’s Play charity and Electronic Frontier Foundation. You can actually set where you’d like your money to go…spread evenly between the developers and the charities, only to the charities, a specific developer, etc.
Check out the video showing off some of the games and head over to Wolfire to download the bundle. I honestly might not even play them but I had to donate towards the cause…’cause it’s just so cool that they’re doing this. DO IT!!!
This is just absolutely insane. The geeks over at ARM have used the Lego Mindstorm Kit and a Motorola Droid cell phone to solve a Rubik’s Cube in just over 24 seconds. They call it the Speedcuber and will have it on display at the ESCsv2010.
This Rubik’s Cube solver was designed and programmed using an ARM Powered Android Motorola Droid mobile phone, a LEGO Mindstorms NXT and lots of yellow LEGO technic pieces! The Android App running on the DROID uses the phones camera to take pictures of each face of the cube and sends the solution to the LEGO NXT controller via Bluetooth.
In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 square foot apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls his new living design the “Domestic Transformer.” There’s really now better way to explain this then to watch the video…it’s pretty incredible. I wish more people and cultures (I’m looking at you America) were this efficient.

The 28 year old high score record for the classic arcade game Asteroids was broken Monday by a Seattle locksmith, John McAllister. It took the 41-year old 58 continuous hours of play to achieve the new benchmark. To cap his record he entered ELF as his moniker. It will take another 2 months for his score to be verified by the world record officials. The previous high score was set by Scott Safran just three years after the game was released and has held until now. McAllister beat Safran’s score by meager margin of 2,300 points, just edging out the record.
