Hello Kitty Swarovski Crystal Covered Bike

I’m not sure what it is with Hello Kitty and Swarovski crystals, but this is definitely a Hello Kitty fanatic thing .I think that Sanrio and Swarovski have secretly teamed up after discovering some special region of the brain in Hello Kitty fanatics which goes into overdrive when the two are combined while the rest of us normal folks are left staring at stinging bling that makes us want to cut our eyes out because doing so would be less painful.

What’s worse is the Hello Kitty fanatic is totally proud of this monstrocity:

I got the most expensive Hello Kitty bike on the planet! I spent one year covering my Hello Kitty bike in Swarovski crystals. Literally thousands of dollars were spent and it has approximately 50,000 crystals on it.

Even vampires can use a little flash memory


Leave it to Neiman Marcus to find yet another way to overdo the mundane USB flash drive. It is, after all, the same place that offered a Razr "Luxury Package" that featured genuine gold tone for $900.

Part of the Jo Marz designer collection, these storage keys look like something out of a goth fashion catalog. They're a relative bargain compared with other Needless Markup offerings, priced at just $98 for a 1GB capacity, according to 7Gadgets. Not to mention the $6,000 that you could pay for a Swiss Army drive with the same capacity.

Another blindingly ugly digital timepiece



Another day, another eye-gougingly ugly high-tech watch. After already being subjected to the latest barely viewable watch phone, we're now forced to cast our poor eyes upon the latest incarnation of Casio's "Baby G" line of timepieces.

At least the earlier model we saw had some phone and media features to brag about, to help offset its homeliness; the Baby G is pretty much just a watch, albeit one known for its ruggedized features, atomic accuracy, and battery technology.

Perhaps its most interesting aspect is its celebrity branding, which features a particularly flamboyant gender-bending phenom in Japan named Ikko, according to Dvice. That might explain why this watch looks as if it would fit perfectly in Liberace's boudoir. source

2880 x 900 Curved Monitor: OMGWTFBBQ!?!

Well I should be at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas right now checking out the latest in gadgets, gambling my life savings away (~$16), and totally getting with hookers. But am I? No. Because my wife wouldn't buy me a damn ticket for Christmas. I hate her so much right now. If she wanted to make it up to me (pay attention honey) she could buy me this nasty-ass Alienware monitor. While just a prototype for now, they expect to have them on the market by the end of 2008.

The 2880 x 900 monitor is "a doublewide curved DLP display with OLED illumination." It mimics peripheral vision, which is awesome, because I was thinking just the other day that my periphs were really missing out on something during the gaming experience. No word on what the price will be, but count on expensive. And you know what else you can count on? Your fingers. It's easy and it makes you look like a kindergartener.

In Your Dreams: Panasonic's 150" Plasma

Panasonic unveiled the new reigning king of plasma televisions at CES '08, the 150-incher. As you call tell from the picture of it next to last year's wimpy 103-inch, the thing is freaking huge. Oh yeah, I guess the lady is there for reference too. Anyways, the thing rocks 2k x 4k resolution, roughly four times that of a 1080p set, runs on 220 volts, and is totally freaking huge and so so so so awesome. I want it so bad I'm crying. Literally. And not just because my girlfriend kicked me in the balls when I said I love this TV more than her. Although I did say that and it is true.

A bunch more pics and a link to the gallery after the jump.

Indiana Jones LEGO Sets Now Available

The Indiana Jones LEGO sets just went on sale, and I must say: I love Indiana Jones and LEGO! There I said it, the cat is out of the grocery bag. I know what you're thinking -- so do you! That is so rad, we should totally get together sometime and have a big ol' Indiana Jones party and build LEGO sets at the same time. My favorite is the Last Crusade. Yeah I would totally do the blonde chick in it, but I'd have to kill her right afterwards because she's a Nazi. You like the one where the guy gets chopped up in the plane's propeller? Me too! Yes, yes, and the one with the guy who pulls your heart out of your chest -- another great one! So icky. He makes Indy drink that blood out of the skull and it makes him go all batshit crazy and he bitchslaps Short Round. So good. Oh my god, I thought the sacred rock looked like a loaf of bread too!

A few more pictures after the jump, but hit the link at the end to see all the sets available.

LEGO Beowulf Dioramas: Lots Of LEGO Blood

Brickshelfer MicahBerger made some pretty good looking Beowulf dioramas featuring gratuitous blood and violence, which, as we all know, is mandatory for a good LEGO diorama. They're appropriately titled "Then came Grendal...He bore God's wrath". And based on the look of these things, there is definitely being some wrath being bored. So it's a good name. You know what else is a good name? La Deda Dingdong, which is actually the name of one of my dog's grandmothers. If you think I'm lying you're wrong. I only lie to my wife. And only about stuff that doesn't matter, like what happened to her engagement ring (I pawned it for $2,000 in ones to spend at a strip joint).

Check out several different pics of the carnage after the jump, and follow the Brickshelf link at the bottom for the whole gallery.

Hilarious Hillary Nutcracker


I almost cracked up laughing when I stumbled upon The Hillary Nutcracker. This (very) functional nutcracker was apparently designed by someone who wanted to show their appreciation for the lady’s robust persona. Now why would you want to buy one? One, because it makes for interesting discussion. Two, it is really a nutcracker – so if you are planning to buy one, why not get one that is guaranteed to be unique?

So watcha waiting for? Round up those tough nuts and see how they crack under the nutcracker̢۪s steel grip. Available from Amazonfor $22.

Kitty Wigs

Not that I really needed any further proof that the world is doomed after the poontang juice last week, but for all of you out there that weren't convinced: Kitty Wigs. Kitty wigs are exactly what they sound like and cost $50 each. The colors, in case you couldn't tell, are pink passion, bashful blonde, silver fox, and electric blue. Each comes in a special metal storage case and includes a rattle toy so your cat will look at you when you try to take pictures of it. What is not included is a certificate that your cat can redeem to restore its dignity and self respect after they've been stripped from the poor creature because you're a sicko. And how much do you want to bet I'll get a call from my wife here in 15 minutes saying she just ordered the cutest thing ever for the cats? Guess what it'll be.

The Earthrace Boat

The Earth Race boat is a bio-diesel powered boat that runs on human fat and looks like a highly futuristic vessel you’d expect to see on Star Trek.

The inventors of the zero carbon boat intend of breaking the current global speed record, planning to take the boat around the world running purely on fat. It was invented by an enlightened former oil industry engineer from New Zealand who is also an environmentalist. He hopes the project will promote environmental awareness and highlight the fascinating potentials of sustainable resources.

Pete Bethune and two crew members underwent liposuction, gathering a total of 2.5 gallons of excess blubber to power the speed boat. Their fat alone was enough to produce 2 gallons of fuel. He put the lard in motor and says under optimal conditions, the boat could run a successful 9 miles.

This boat is built for speed. While most boats ride over waves in rough seas, the Earth Race boat is built to pierce right through them. He plans on taking a 27,600-mile journey across the world, making the entire journey on 100% biodiesel.
