Gaming transforms lives. It can transform the way you barbeque corn cobs, for instance. The Call of Duty-inspired Tactical Apron has the word ‘Chef’ emblazoned behind it, and has a MOLLE system for anyone cooking up some grease to feel like he’s totally owning the BBQ pit.

Well, now we’ve seen it all. Apparently, this JCPenney tea kettle looks an awful lot like a certain fascist dictator. JCPenney shoppers have been complaining that this $40 tea kettle designed by Michael Graves resembles Adolf Hitler. Despite the complaints, the kettle sold out within a matter of hours. So, do you see Hitler in [...]

Designer Allan Wexler experimented with the Vinyl Milford nearly a decade ago, and it’s still avant-garde in this modern day and age. He transformed one of these ubiquitous vinyl-coated sheet metal storage sheds — a fixture of suburban American backyards — into a guest house, complete with pull-out furniture flushed into the walls. It’s such [...]

Dutch designer and illustrator Noortje de Keijzer created a funny and rather creepy boyfriend-shaped pillow for lonely girls (or boys, why not?). The project is obviously ironic and Noortje has so far created only two pillows, named Arthur and Steve, and I’m really hoping that she stops at that before some cuckoos start wanting to [...]

Partnering with advertising network Droga5 and publishers Hachette, their latest initiative sees the airline creating a series of novels that last for only as long as the flight. Entitled ‘Stories For Every Journey’, the series is a pretty neat idea. The only we problem [...]

The Beam Me Up: Star Trek Art Show recently took place in Los Angeles, where over 80 artists took a stab at the sci-fi series in tribute to it. The exhibition has since ended, but the artworks are still viewable — and for sale — online. Obviously we just got distracted by all things Spock. [...]

When the cast of car-racing sequel Fast & Furious 6 — Michelle Rodriguez, Vin Diesel, Gina Carano and Luke Evans — learnt just how expensive cars cost in Singapore in an interview, they reacted rather, er, appropriately. You just have to see the look on Rodriguez’s face for yourself, while Vin Diesel started an anti-car [...]

OK, Mattel, we get it. Barbie is a doll of many trades. The American icon, which started way back in the 50s, needs to remain relevant in the 21st century. Unfortunately, many of the jobs she’s held down over the years are questionable.

We don’t know how we ended up at this gem online with these unlikely mashups of Japanese and US pop culture. We don’t know what kind of demented mind thinks of something as random as Kawaii Batman, Doreamon Alien or, yes, even a Pika Fuhrer — but we dig it.

Philosophy professor and author Simon Critchley recently held a suicide note writing workshop as part of a pop-up series dubbed the School of Death. ‘They are a last, desperate attempt at communication,” he said of suicide notes. “They are failed communication, in a sense’. Class included a spritely discussion about suicide and included a hands-on [...]

It’s as easy as herding cats. Firstly grab your feline with two hands, place said cat on your face and, erm, with your other hand take a photo. Voila! You’re cat-bearding. This wonderful new Internet craze is easier than owling, takes less effort than the Harlem shake and is safer than planking. Maybe. Hithhhhh, Wrowwwww, [...]

What happens when you bring locations that exist within movie realities into, well, real life? Google Street Scene, which squeezes iconic movie scenes into Google Maps’ Street View feature, that’s what. It’s the ingenious brainchild of Tre Baker, who has recreated these movie scenes in Google Street View style — he even blurs out the [...]

First there was the First World Problems meme, which poked fun at the sort of complaints that only the somewhat privileged — or pampered, if you would have it — folks from developed countries can make. Now there are the First World Programmer Problems, which is just like First World problems, but programmer-centric, of course. [...]
