X-Ray Lampshade

Diggin' on this x-ray lampshade by Sture Pallarp that I found over at Craft!

Mad Men Case Mod

Speaking of outrageous case mods, Jeffrey Stephenson has been cranking out the retro enclosures for some time now. Over at Core77, he shares his latest work in progress, a danish modern piece fit for Don Draper himself. Pretty great.

Case Monster

I've featured some pretty out-of-control case mods on DudeCraft in the past, but this Dreadnought that lights up, speaks and has spinning guns, has to be right near the top.

The Longest Photographic Exposures in History

Ran into this little gem of a story about the longest recorded photographic exposures in history. Absolutely fascinating images. Well, to me anyway. Maybe you think it's dreck.:-)

Tatted Up LEGOs

I'm loving this campaign for Pilot Ultra-Fine Ballpoint Pens, with points so fine, you can draw some awesome looking tattoos on all your LEGO characters. Sweet!

txtBOMBER

The one-handed, battery-powered, arduino-controlled, statement machine! txtBOMBER allows you to roll out any sentiment you so desire just by moving it along a flat surface. According to its inventor, Felix Vorreiter, it only speaks German at the moment.

We Are the Champions

Just happened to run across this insanely detailed and highly stylized, paper version of Queen by People Too over at Behance this morning. I mean, check out all the little bits on Brian May's Guitar and Freddie Mercury's costume. Pretty amazing.

Signal Shed

My love for small buildings is no secret. Something about shackitecture that reminds me of the forts I used to build when I was a kid, I guess. Also, the draw of ultra simple living. So, obviously I'm loving this 130 sq. ft. signal shed by Ryan Lingard Design in collaboration with Greg Morrow and Sons Inc. More pics and story over at architecture4us.

Wiggy, Wiggy...What?

For an exhibit called "Back in the Good Old Days", artist Fabien Clerc created this fully functioning, highly decorated, ceramic DJ rig that looks like it would sit more comfortably in a Regency drawing room than in a dance club. Nonetheless, I'm diggin' it.
