Will It Fit In My Pocket? Folding Container

2011-03-23T17:35:00.000-07:00

If you're a spy and you use a shipping container as a base to plan top secret ops, then you realize how nice it would be to be able to fold that "base". Now of course, I'm not saying I'm a spy because if I were then my agency wouldn't be happy with me exposing my true identity. So just in case you're wondering, my name is John and I work at Best Buy and that's the only reason why I'm an expert in tiny ~~spy~~ cameras.

Luckily, Staxxon has come up with a solution! These shipping containers can be folded to save space and the process doesn't look completely impossible. The first video below shows the conceptional design while the second one shows the actual container in action.

If you want more information, you can visit Staxxon's website or you can check out their Flickr gallery for pictures.

For PacMan Pros: iPad Arcade Joystick

2011-03-22T19:21:00.000-07:00

If you have an iPad then we both know your apps are 80% games and 20% stuff you don't use. Since gaming is serious business, (YES, IT IS.) you obviously need all the advanced technology you can get to pwn n00bz.

BUT HOW? How do you teabag those PacMan ghosts after you win? How do you become the best iPad FPS games player ever?

The answer is simple: you get the Joystick-It iPad Arcade Stick!

Removable and repositionable
Uses suction cup - will not harm your screen
Material: solid-milled aluminum
Laser-etched design on top of the stick
Size: 1-1/4" dia. x 1-3/4" (3 cm dia. x 4.5 cm)

Now you can justify buying an iPad. It takes you back to the 80s when you used to play arcade games all the time because you parents didn't love you enough (AND IT WASN'T YOU FAULT GOD DAMN IT!!)

You can buy the Joystick-It iPad Arcade Stick HERE for $24.95 which is definitely less than $25.

Why Not In HD? Japanese Acrobats from 1904

2011-03-22T12:13:00.000-07:00

Not the best quality but I don't think Japan had HD cameras in 1904 (THEY STILL HAD ROBOTS THOUGH!). The video - showing a Japanese man and a boy performing acrobatics - was uploaded on YouTube in 2007 (That's 4 months ago) but I just discovered it today.

The routine itself isn't very unique (It might've been back then) but the fact that it's from 1904 makes it 1904 times more awesome!

Pretty awesome, eh?

p0rn d0mainz: Dot XXX domains officially approved

2011-03-20T18:55:00.000-07:00

The days of people trying to remember if porn sites ended with .com or .net will be over soon. I know what you're thinking now; "OLD NEWS BUDDY!". So before unleashing your inner troll, keep reading! YOU TROLL!

Last Friday, the ICANN (No, that's not a can manufactured by Apple) registry has officially approved the dispatch of .xxx domain names for pornographic websites.

On Friday in San Francisco, the California nonprofit that oversees Internet addresses gave the green light to the virtual red-light district. The vote comes after several years of clashes and deliberations by the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers.

Adult-entertainment sites will still populate the .com space and every other corner of the Internet. But now, many pornographic sites can also join a specialized domain that instantly telegraphs its content with the infamous suffix. ICM Registry, a Florida-based company that will run .xxx, said the domain’s Web sites will be the Internet’s most trusted place for adult entertainment: ICM will monitor the sites to ensure that they prohibit spam, viruses and any other illegal behavior. And it says it will use some of the registration fees for an affiliated foundation to promote free speech and combat child pornography.

I guess I'll need to hurry up and register geekston.xxx for all of you perverted geeks!

Is It Vegetarian? Canned Unicorn Meat

2011-03-20T12:09:00.000-07:00

It was only a matter of time. We've known for ages that Unicorns actually exist, we just needed to find them. And apparently the people at ThinkGeek finally did! Now let's spam them with e-mails demanding they tell us where all the unicorns are!
"Imported from a small independent cannery in County Meath, Ireland", each can contains 14 ounces of unicorn meat. What did they do with the horns? They send them to Hogwarts to be used as wands, obviously.

The following diagram shows the essential ingredients of unicorn meat:

Each can will cost you $11.99 which is worth it since you might be lucky enough to get superglue! You can buy your own magical unicorn meat HERE and I'm hoping it's magical enough to last for an entire month.

2011-03-19T23:40:00.000-07:00

You can buy one of these cases HERE for only $42 or you can donate the money to the Japanese Red Cross HERE. Either way, your money's going to Japan.

I'd play it: First Person Mario

2011-03-19T23:12:00.000-07:00

So apparently some dude decided to make a first person video of super Mario and now I want this to become a real game so I can play it 24/7.

If you've never played Super Mario Bros. before then you're either too young to to play video games or YOU NEED TO GO PLAY IT NOW!

Anyway, I'll stop typing now because I know you're not reading this anyway. Hit jump to see the video.

You can also watch the video on youtube.
