I Want to Live in the Lego Winter Village Market All Year Round
Jul 14, 1:39AM
Yes,, the Lego Winter Village Market set is really cute. Yes, it has 1,261 pieces and includes minifigs. And yes, with its rotating carousel it has the potential of being the perfect setting for a stop motion murder movie. But Lego is trying my patience by releasing something related to Christmas in the summer.

Fatboy Slim: Praise You
Jul 14, 12:04AM
Some songs just ooze jubilance, and back in 1999 Fatboy Slim put one of those suckers out. You know "Praise You," and I'm willing to bet you're a fan too. But have you listened to it recently enough. No. No, you haven't.

Who Needs Nails When You Can Meld Wood in a Vortex of Thread?
Jul 13, 11:25PM
Most furniture has the business parts of its joints buried deep inside it somewhere. Screws hidden in hollow metal frames, screws driven deep into wood. The furniture made by Anton Alvarez wears its colorful thread joints on the outside. And the machine used to tie it all up is a beast.

It's Dumb Easy to Wreck a $20,000 Camera with Just a Couple Lasers
Jul 13, 10:00PM
Lasers are bad for your eyes, so it shouldn't be a surprise they're bad for cameras too. This clip shows exactly how trivial it is for a laser to pop inside a $20,000 piece of equipment and totally scramble its brains.

Could a Spell-Checking Pen Get You to Write in Cursive?
Jul 13, 9:00PM
Handwriting is dying out in general, but cursive especially. Does anyone under the age of twenty ever use it anymore? They will, if the minds behind Lernstift have anything to say about it. They've got a haptic smart-pen that will spellcheck your script, but does that really make it any more enticing?

Jul 13, 7:45PM
There's a crew of hero historians out there slurping up the Internet for posterity in case we want to see it later, but what about all the apps? Well now there's a place for them too. Parts of them, at least.

Investigators: Latest Boeing 787 Dreamliner Fire Not Caused by Battery
Jul 13, 6:26PM
A Boeing 787 Dreamliner continued the model's string of bad luck yesterday when it burst into flames on the tarmac at London Heathrow Airport yesterday. The good news was that it was unoccupied at the time. And now there's a little bit more, kinda: investigators say it wasn't the battery's fault.

Dead Camera Lenses Can Morph Into Beautiful Bracelets
Jul 13, 5:03PM
Normally, images of beautiful things are going through camera lenses, but you can't deny that there's something uniquely beautiful about the lenses themselves. The contrast of the colors on black, the sharp-yet-simple linear designs. It should be no surprise they make super slick bracelets.

How to Set Up a PC, the Right Way
Jul 13, 4:00PM
All expecting parents have read What to Expect When You're Expecting, because when that little bundle of joy drops out of mommy, you'd better be ready with lots of paper towels and a whole lot of specialized knowledge about what to do from that moment forward. Though it's not quite as messy (or scary), setting up a new PC requires a similar sort of informed approach if you want to raise it properly from the moment it squirts out of the Fedex truck and into your life.

A Raw Chicken Hand Towel Is So Gross and So Clever
Jul 13, 2:02PM
The scariest thing in your kitchen—besides maybe the biggest, sharpest knives—is chicken juice; ain't nobody want salmonella. And what better way to have fun with that fear than by having a hand towel that looks eerily similar to a slimey, raw chicken carcass? "Yeah, just rub this on your hands and everything will be fine."

What Would We Do If Aliens Just Showed Up Tomorrow?
Jul 13, 1:04PM
It seems unlikely—impossible, even—that aliens would just happen to make contact today. Or tomorrow. Or the day after. But what if they did? How do you even deal with something like that?

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: TheBox (NSFW)
Jul 13, 4:00AM
Like a fevered dream by embattled ex-Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, this naughty claymation short by Dadomani Studios makes no sense in context outside of its own logical universe. Still, there are worse things to find in a box:

Wow These Unbelievable 3D Drawings Are Actually Drawn in 2D
Jul 13, 3:00AM
My eyes are telling me that this is 3D art. My brain is telling me that these are 3D drawings. My entire being believes that this is crafted in 3D. But nope. These drawings are actually 2D with clever shading and angles to make us believe they're in 3D. I still can't believe it.

The Hardest Thing to Find in the Universe Is Even Rarer Than You Think
Jul 13, 2:00AM
Staring at the periodic table of elements was pretty much all I did in science classes but I learned absolutely nothing from it other than Bromine and Barium (but that's more because of a Google search on Breaking Bad). Anyways! Elements on that periodic table aren't all created equal. Especially Astatine (At). That's pretty much the hardest thing to find anywhere.

Some Guy Is Suing Apple Because He Wants Apple to Protect Him from Porn
Jul 13, 1:00AM
In this most ridiculous lawsuit that should expose the idiocy of mankind and/or lawsuits in general, a lawyer is suing Apple because of porn. Seriously. The lawyer is seeking damages against Apple because it makes devices that can display porn. He wrote a 50 page complaint over this!

So though Hulu won't be completely sold off, Bloomberg says that it is in "continuing talks to sell
Jul 13, 12:30AM
So though Hulu won't be completely sold off, Bloomberg says that it is in "continuing talks to sell a stake" of itself to wait for it... wait for it... everybody's least favorite cable company Time Warner Cable. Ugh.

Kanye West: Black Skinhead (A Music Video Inside a Moleskine)
Jul 13, 12:00AM
Sort of like the literal MS Paint renditions of popular songs, this music video of Kanye West's visceral Black Skinhead draws out each of his lyrics inside the pages of a Moleskine for you to follow along. It's an art-filled music video inside a plain Moleskine. Like the pages are opening up to a pounding orchestra.

Jul 12, 11:00PM
It's July, so it's hot as crap outside. In most parts of the country, it's so balmy you're sitting inside in your underwear with the freezer open trying to stay cool. But for a different kind of reprieve, here are some of the best design posts we found this week.

Jul 12, 10:40PM
Do you love plants. No, I mean really love plants. We're talking "I want sapling inside me" love. Like, "literally all I want is to birth a small but hearty tomato plant" love. Well we've got a gift for all three(?) of you: maternity vests for plant pregnancy.
