MB&F, AKA Maximilian Busser and Friends, has come a long way. It has progressed from making exotic watches to, in recent years, exquisite clocks that were pretty much out of this world. The Octopod is the luxury watch brand’s latest table clock that will leave sci-fi fans drooling all over. Assuming the form of a robotic octopus (hence, Octopod), the Octopod was a co-creation with L’Epée 1839 and features deep sea technology like the bathysphere (that’s a deep sea, spherical submersible, if you don’t already know) inspired by the late eighties sci-fi/horror flick, The Abyss (1989, 20th Century Fox) and it boasts no less than 468 fine-finished components behind the newly developed eight-day movement by L’Epée 1839 that makes it ticks. Impressive. Continue reading MB&F’s Octopus-inspired Table Clock Is Really More Akin To A Robotic Spider

Artist Tom Galle Turns Recognizable Corporate Logos Into Weapons
NYC-based Internet artist/digital creative Tom Galle has recently started a new project which we are pretty confident it is going to catch on with the Internet. Entitled “Corp Gear,” this new project is a collection of weapons fashioned out of corporate logos. As you can see from the images, Galle has done a brilliant job in turning iconic corporate logos that we are familiar with into weapons. The collection, which only started earlier this month, so far saw Galle turning Nike very recognizable Swoosh logo into a blade (‘Nike Knife’), McDonald’s iconic Golden Arches into a brass knuckleduster (‘McDonalds Brass Knuckles’), Facebook’s blue ‘F’ branding into a crowbar (‘Facebook Crowbar’), and Mercedes-Benz’s pointed star into Shuriken, AKA ninja star (‘Mercedes Ninja Star’).

The VW Bus Lives Again! But Now It Will Park In Your Kitchen As A Refrigerator
We have heard Volkswagen is rebooting the iconic VW Bus and if I ask me, I’d say the news come as both yay and nay. Yay because the microbus is coming back and nay because it will never be as cool as the iconic ride (cue The Doors’ Light My Fire). I guess somethings are best left in the era where it belongs. However emotionally tied we are to certain objects, we have to move on somehow. But moving on does not mean ditching your love for this cult phenomena vehicle entirely. You can actually still own it, but this time, it has to go into your kitchen because, the familiar lines now exist as a fridge. Yes. That’s a VW Bus refrigerator that we are talking about! Holy sh… Continue reading The VW Bus Lives Again! But Now It Will Park In Your Kitchen As A Refrigerator
The Nightmare Before Christmas Cuckoo Clock Is One For The Halloween
As if cuckoo clock itself isn’t spooky enough, the guys at Bradford Exchange has made it even more spookier with an iteration based on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. So, yeah. What you have here is a Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas cuckoo clock, officially licensed, of course, and you know what I think? I think the marriage between the celebrated creepy animation and cuckoo clock is a match made in the deepest pit of hell. Which means, it made for the perfect addition to your Halloween decor. I see no other way of recreating a spookier atmosphere than having a clock playing back This is Halloween, accompanied by Zero, Jack’s faithful ghost dog, popping in and out of the doors atop of the Town Hall at every strike of the hour.

BLACK+DECKER GoPak That Powers Tools Also Serves As Portable Battery
You need the power tools and you have your small gadgets, such as mobile phone, by your side as you work on home improvement and therefore, it kind of make sense that the battery that powers the power tools you need can also serve as a backup battery for your all-important mobile phone.

Continue reading BLACK+DECKER GoPak That Powers Tools Also Serves As Portable Battery
Bleeding Hand Candles Might Just Be The Creepiest Halloween Decor Ever
October is around the corner and you know what this means. This means Halloween will be upon us very soon. Besides dressing in costume to scare the shit out of the spirits that walk the Earth on this day, a Halloween decor is a must for completeness sake. More so, if you intend to have a party going on this day. Speaking of which, in addition to having a cobweb-laden decor to spruce up the creepy atmosphere, you may want to consider something creepier to crank of the creep-on-meter, such as the Bleeding Hand Candle by Etsy seller Creepy Candles. Continue reading Bleeding Hand Candles Might Just Be The Creepiest Halloween Decor Ever
This Scale Breaking Bad RV Spews Incense, Not Meth Smokes
Besides actually cooking Meth (which is highly illegal, btw) dressed in a bright yellow hazmat suit with Walter White hyperflesh mask, what other better way to celebrate your love for the awesome, but morally-questionable TV show of all time, Breaking Bad, than owning the highly recognizable light brown RV where Walter does his deeds? But lets face it: not everyone has the parking space for an RV and then there’s the question of affordability, and how the hell one can recreate the bullet holes on the RV door. Well, to save yourself the trouble and substantial sum of money, there’s a scaled version which you can own. Continue reading This Scale Breaking Bad RV Spews Incense, Not Meth Smokes
Panasonic Self-driving Fridge Is What Every TV Show Binge Watchers Need
At a time where binge watching TV series has become a norm, it only makes sense that you stay glued to your couch and such instances, if whenever you feel the need consume some cold drinks, Panasonic self-driving refrigerator seems like a no brainer. Unveiled at this year’s IFA, the self-moving refrigerator called ‘Ku’ is part of Panasonic’s vision of future lifestyles. It is not nearly as cool as R2-D2 serving your desired cold drinks, but it certainly has a lot more to drink and munch from since it is obviously larger. The fridge uses LIDAR, which incidentally Panasonic is already developing, as well as depth sensors to map your home.
