  • Precious: Lord Of The Rings Bag End Bonsai Tree
    February 27, 2013
    This is a bonsai tree with a little Lord of the Rings Bag End theme created by Chris Guise of Bonsai Empire. Now I know what you're thinking, and same -- I want to live there too. Unfortunately we're both too big for that. At least I am, maybe you were born 'Indian in the Cu... / Continue →
  • ICU!: New Microscope Technology Allows Optical View On The Scale Of Nanometers
    March 2, 2011
    I don't really keep up on microscope technology because I only use mine to look at breakfast cereal and bits of weed, but apparently there's been a breakthough in optics that allows an actual glimpse of objects on the nanometer scale (versus scanning electron microscopy, etc.).... / Continue →
  • Are You A Prince?: Tiny-Ass 'Micro-Frogs'
    September 1, 2010
    Researchers working in Borneo recently discovered a new species of micro-frog that only grows to the size of a pea. Scientists previously thought they were a juvenile version of another species, but those scientists are dumb and ought be ashamed of themselves. Pfft, and you c... / Continue →
  • Wrong, Just Wrong: Video Of A Little Robot With Custom Weapons Shooting Dinosaurs
    December 23, 2009
    This is a video of a Tomy i-SOBOT that some deranged sicko made custom weapons for and then let loose to wreak havoc on a table in his living room. Why half the scenes involve killing innocent dinosaurs is beyond me, but if if I had to guess I'd say somebody has a death wish. ... / Continue →
  • Good Job: Guy Builds Giant LEGO Castle
    October 21, 2009
    This is the Hoernersburg Castle, a LEGO castle constructed by NoName Hoerner because castles are awesome and he must have known I want to live in one. You can see a hi-res cross section of the castle HERE but it's really worth going to the website to see it in all its detail a... / Continue →
  • Tiny North American Dino Discovered, I Want
    October 21, 2009
    You see that handsome little devil Steven Spielberg's holding? That's a Fruitadens haagarorum, the smallest dino ever discovered in North America. I want a million of them. No, even more than that. The newly identified creature weighed less than two pounds and stood about 4... / Continue →
  • Little Family Moves Into A Computer Case
    October 5, 2009
    Not a real one, silly! You'd have to have a freaking giant computer (or tiny family) for that to happen. What is this, the 50's? No, cause sexual harassment didn't exist back then. Back me up, Mad Men. I love you, Don! I thought that latest cigarette ad campaign of yours ... / Continue →
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex Ancestor Was Smaller, More Manageable Size (Read: Swooooon)
    September 17, 2009
    Turns out the ferocious T-Rex (who, I would like to mention, is a brutal lover) actually started as a tinier, much more manageable size. OMG -- I'm going to grow them in my roommates closet! Also, weed. About 125 million years ago a tiny version of Tyrannosaurus rex roamed w... / Continue →
  • I See You, Little Stuff!: A USB Microscope
    August 18, 2009
    Hey guys I'm getting kicked out my hotel (which is fine because it's a shithole and caught fire yesterday) so I have to relocate. I'll be back this afternoon with more posts though, I promise. In the meantime, here's a $130 USB powered microscope. This week e-Supply Japan ... / Continue →
