Xbox soap

Soap. The shape and design of an XBox Controller. Yes, now even your grubby, non-showering brother has a chance getting laid. Get yours here.

from the site:

The Xbox soap weighs seven ounces and has raised buttons. This one comes with the added addition of colors, so it looks even more realistic than the others.

Despite its weight of 7 ounces, it fits well in the hands…unlike the original Xbox controllers.

Made with great quality shea butter/glycerin soap.

Scented with Mountain Dew fragrance oil, a gamer’s best scent.

Soap Ingredients:

· Coconut Oil
· Shea Butter
· Palm Oil
· Castor Oil
· Safflower Oil
· Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin)
· Purified Water
· Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent)
· Sorbitol (moisturizer)
· Sorbitan Oleate (emulsifier)
· Soy Bean Protein (conditioner)
· Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener used in opaque soaps)
· Fragrance and color

i love this. really.

I also love making the worlds least SEO-friendly headlines. But I digress.

Check this out. Beautiful, thoughtful stationery. With a twist. :)

from the site:

Old Tom Foolery is the brainchild of Joel Gryniewski and Lauren Weinblatt—two ad-industry vets who also happen to be engaged. Back when Joel was wooing Lauren, he had a tough time finding cards that were: a) funny, b) letterpressed (they’re both suckers for a deep impression), and c) not so dainty as to make her question his masculinity. So they set out to make their own witty letterpress cards that would appeal to both sexes.

Enjoi.

awesome. radio head. animation.

Just found this here whilst bouncing around the interwebs this evening. It appears to be entirely made in flash, which is awesome in it’s own right. But then it is an animation of one of my all-time favorite songs (Radiohead: Creep), insuring that I would pass the link on to you. Enjoi!

Scott McCloud's daughter is just as awesome as he is...

Found this over at Community Guy. A new blog I discovered tonight that is wicked smaaaaht.

If you’ve read Scott McCloud’s books on understanding the comic (visual) language, it will come as no surprise that his daughter is amazing too.

Here’s an incredible presentation by a teenager that we can all learn from.

Thanks, Community Guy! Nice find.

when good technology gets into bad hands (muahhahah)

Have you seen Flightography? It is the work of James Mann from Elk Grove, CA. He uses his twenty years of R/C Piloting skills to shoot awesome aerial photographs of towns, landscape, farms, etc. Oh, and also to bomb the shit out of his neighborhood.

I just added this video of an R/C airplane pilot bombing his neighborhood to UPL8.tv

Apparently the Flightography crew have developed something that has all sorts of deliciously malicious applications, a radio controlled plane water bomb rig. Imagine the possibilities, while not endless, there are plenty of cool things that could be done with one of these.

cute as fuck puppies take interwebs by storm

You’d have to have been either on vacation in a place only Jack Bauer goes or been living under a rock not to know about the interweb’s latest Meme, The Shiba Inu Puppy Cam.

Missed it? Oh, cool. Well here, watch:

Live video by Ustream

People have complained about losing all productivity after finding out about the puppies and some even stoped working almost entirely to watch the puppies sleep. It just goes to show, (yes that people are retards) but more importantly, sometimes when you want to get attention, a nice single-serving, simple zinger really does tend to pack a wallop.

(And it doesn’t hurt if that zinger is cute-as-fuck, too.)

Peece.

fake robots take top honors!

Last week the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization announced the winners of the 51st annual Good Design Awards. This show is always discovering some really cool stuff, and the judging committee, is typically made up of a couple dozen designers, journalists, architects, and marketers. This year they even showed off their nerdy side by awarding Zarigani Works’ Korejanai Robo a prize.


Korejanai Robo translates literally to “not this robot” and is created as an ode to all those kids who once really wanted something, like say a toy robot, and got something way less techie, like a light-brite or a GI-Joe.

To add to the irony, Korejanai Robo is not really a robot, but rather a wooden doll that looks like a Robot (you getting all this?). Last year the doll became popular on the interwebs and was even made into a USB drives and keychains, securing it’s place in cult item history.

just remember:

This is not what I wanted!!

Kids they might say that word with ugly screaming! Xmas is always great moment, this item is transformed into a battlefield, Guaranteed! Have you ever done this any situations before? Maybe not, people are not willing to have unhappy situation,but life is so long. kids learn about something important things from that. Especially, it is not possible to have whatever you want without any kind of risk or achievement. Let’s try Korejanai-Robo for cultivation of aesthetic sentiments!
