Removable head Robot USB flash drive

Removable head Robot USB flash driveSelf decapitation should be built into all robots as an added safety measure. Robot decapitation is what you’ll get with this little guy. He’s a 4GB drive and includes a clasp to attach to your keychain.

He could have more memory, but who cares. He’s retro and cool. Kinda looks like he’s taking his helmet off to say hi. He’ll cost you $25. And let’s not forget, keeping robot charms on your person will endear you to our future masters.

Behold the JesusPhone!

Behold the JesusPhoneWay back in the day, when Andy Warhol claimed to have a direct line to god, no one was buying it. Probably because his crappy phone was just a generic phone. Had he had this phone, people would have been convinced. Looks like constantly referring to the iPhone as the JesusPhone actually turned it into one.

This piece was shown at the PULSE contemporary art fair in NYC this weekend. Details are scarce, like whether or not anyone actually talked to the almighty. According to a tipster, it was exhibited near works by Eckhart Hahn, but they are unsure if it was actually by him.

Christmas Tree made from 70 recycled Hard Drives

Christmas Tree made from 70 recycled Hard DrivesOh yes. We like shiny. This is one shiny tree. It’s the kind of project that you take on when you find yourself with 70 defunct SCSI hard drives and a whole lotta free time on your hands. If that sounds like you this Christmas season, you can make one too, just like the builder of this tower of joy. It was built by a man with a horse name(trigger).

He took the drives from RAID arrays that were destined for the scrap heap. Instead of performing the DoD wipe that would have otherwise been needed, he built this geek tree from the shiny discs within. The tree is made entirely from the drive pieces, with one exception. A single nut.

Tinkerbell works here: Fairy Office Lights

Tinkerbell works here: Fairy Office Lights
What is it about shiny things that draws people like a moth to the flame? I have no idea. But I do know that if you buy these Fairy Office Lights for your co-worker and string them around his cubicle when he’s not looking, fun insues. He will have to endure Tinkerbell jokes and all sorts of things that imply that he’s light in the loafers. Before you know it, someone brings a fairy wand into it. Pure fun at others expense.

On the other hand if you’re a woman or a genuine fairy decorating your laptop with tiny blue stars no one is going to say much. The string is 36” long and is $12.95.
