How often do you find yourself deep in the middle of the woods, badly in need of a drink, in possession of a bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauilla, and without your Read more

It's the most ill-conceived toy ever, um, conceived. The Epidermits Thing is part robot, part Miami Ink, and part... Powered by fuel cell technology, and covered in a synthetic skin, the toy is customizable with tattoos, piercings and even tanning. The point, apparently, is to reconnect the kids with "real human interactions." Read more

Well, it is very funny. I have a soft spot for Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. I know that puts me in squarely with the mouth-breathers, but, on the other hand, shut up. Watch Will Ferrell answering fan mail on Funny or Die. Read more

Today, the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest atom smasher (and largest machine) ever created, started, well, atom-smashing. Despite the predictions of some arm-chair nuclear physicists that this would create a black hole that would swallow the Earth whole, we still seem to be here. Read more

If you're a fan of the trippy "kids" show, "Yo Gabba Gabba" (and honestly, who isn't?), then you want to let other hipsters know you're part of the club. This t-shirt should do the trick. An homage to one of the greatest (if not most repetitive) songs ever to be featured on the small screen. Read more

Have you checked out the Ubiquity add-on for Firefox yet? If you haven't, shame on you. This has the potential to revolutionize the way we use the internet. No, I'm not exaggerating. Read more
