Crazy Camera Van

Captured on film

Obsessed with cameras much?  While you can probably deny it, the owner of this vehicle – the Camera Van – can’t.  Literally decked in thousands of cameras, it’s what the Google Street View cars would have looked like if their designers had some panache.  Or were clinically insane.  Either will do.
First created by [...]

“Whoa dude! Clean your lens or something”
The photos we have this week are guaranteed to hit you from left field. In fact, that’s where we keep all the things we want to hit you with – left field. If you are ever interested in going to left field, just turn around, you’ll find it on your blind [...]

Counter Culture Icon Fritz the Cat now available on Vans

Vans slip-ons have been a popular and fashionable shoe option for many years now. In recent years, Vans has made shoes featuring designs from pioneering underground artists we really dig like Robt. Williams and Rick Griffin. We were thrilled to find out that they recently added a series of [...]

Lingerie makers Triumph have unveiled the ‘Nice Cup in Bra’, which can be removed, rolled out and used as a putting mat for the keen golfing lady.
The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5m-long putting mat.
When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps [...]

Ever wonder what would happen if you combined true musical talent with a popular video game like Rockband? This is what you would get.

While taking a break from practicing one day, MsFrizzyHair, a recent college graduate with music degree had a bizarre thought as she watched her brother play Rockband. “I wonder if [...]

It was tiny music to the ears, but their cuteness was overwhelming
Each week the photos that come across our desk are both amazing, weird, mysterious, strange, and wonderful. And those are just the photos that people have take of me.  A great photo is an inspiring piece of culture. It has a way of capturing [...]

Baby Tesla’s favorite holiday was always Halloween
The only difference between daytime and night time is sunshine. Well, that and vampires and other creatures of the night that never come out during the daytime because the sunshine will cause their face to melt. Some people would actually look better if they let their face melt, but [...]



Elite Marshmallow Blaster

October 26th, 2009 at 8:44 am » Comments (0)

Mom always said not to play with your food, but the Elite Marshmallow Blaster could potentially prove to be too much of a temptation as this $55 pump-action single shot device is more than capable of firing standard marshmallows up to 40 feet far – we’re sure it can also handle other foodstuff, but keeping [...]

Photo Manipulations are always very interesting to watch because – and that’s what is important – they give a realistic view of an unreal picture. Erik Johansson, a 23-year-old computer engineering student, from sweden has a sense for good ideas for manipulations.
1. First of all we would like to thank you for taking the time [...]

Somehow judgement day feels different when you’re a highly trained cow
The reason why we spend time putting together this weekly assortment of “life beyond the edge” photos is because creativity is inspiring. Ingenuity has a way of unleashing the inner trolls in each of us and replacing them with the kinder, more gentler turbo-gnomes [...]

Politically Incorrect Balloon Boy Halloween Costume in Action.

I think we laughed for about 20 minutes when we came across this…
“Now you too can enjoy all the media attention you want with Plantraco’s Balloon Boy Hoax kit. A great flying saucer that is going to put a big smile on your face. Colorado flying saucers and [...]



The Delicate Art Of Parental Failure

“Daddy, look at all the FILM (Females I’d Like to Milk)!”  thinks baby Gordon.

As a perspective parent I have been bumping into a lot of new parent web sites. Many of them have some great do’s and don’ts that they recommend or condemn. The fine folks over at Parent Fail spotlight the don’t side of [...]



Coffee PC = Computer + Coffeemaker

October 20th, 2009 at 7:31 am » Comments (0)

 

Isn’t this what a computer was REALLY designed to do?

Tim Quax of ByteMods combined a PC with a coffeemaker to make this Coffee PC case mod. Best of all, the coffeemaker is controlled by software:
The relay gets it’s power from a molex connector on the power supply; a small amount however, just enough to not [...]

Cows are both the cause and the victims of today’s obesity problem
Last week we started down a different path, but somehow we ended up on the path we were meant to be on anyway. So we’ve concluded that there are no different paths. Every “new” path is merely our destiny wrapped in new clothing, secretly [...]

Brandon Hardesty is filled with wide-eyed comical amazement at the killer soap bubbles he’s able to blow after filling his mouth with — yeccch — baby shampoo. He does it so we don’t have to.

The pit crew worked furiously to get Bossy ready to roll again,
but as everyone knew, cow repair was not an exact science

Andy Warhol once said, “Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I [...]

Engineeer and cartoonist Tim Hunkin created an arcade game that at first appears to be an ATM or banking kiosk. When coins are inserted, the banking poster drops and reveals Wack-A-Banker, giving you an opportunity to take your aggressions out on a group of financially oppressive stereotypes.

Beware of crazy little men carrying vacuum cleaners,
for they represent an entirely new breed of suckers

Some photos cause headaches and others cause scandals. However, this particular combination of photos has been selected to cause a jock rash in people without a sense of humor. (Pics)



Ohio As A Piano

September 29th, 2009 at 11:20 am » Comments (0)

Andy Woodruff noticed that Ohio has 88 counties, the same number as keys on a piano. So he went to work on a map application that assigns a note to each county. You can play a song on the map (a couple of songs are plotted out for you) or reassign the notes based on [...]

Junior cowboys always work their way up the
livestock food chain before they get to horses

If wishes were fishes, and hope springs eternal, then wishes for hope would be wishes for eternal fishes. Hmmm, maybe not. Putting a square peg in a round hole is not the same as drilling a round hole into the side [...]

Talk about computer viruses! Sculptor Forrest McCluer took salvaged 30 old PCs from the landfill and turned them into sculptures of viruses (the biological kind). This one above is inspired by the T4 Bacteriophage:
The “T9 Track Virus” is another version of the T4 Bacteriophage. It consists of PC power supply cables, CD-ROMs, sections of 9-track [...]

Hey, knock it off with the legs! I’m the cute one!
Not all humor is funny to all people. Similarly, not all humor is funny to me. Therefore, I am the same as all people. Hmmm, great logic is the antithesis of great humor. But not all people are logical, so therefore logical people are the [...]
