Landline necklace by Kiel Mead
Brooklyn-based designer Kiel Mead’s added a few new members to his curious collection of cast jewelry. Our favorite is Landline, a charm that harks back to a wee component that was, not long ago, a true mainstay in our lives. Alas, it is now but a faded memory, lost in a silvery sea of cellphones, skype, and bluetooth headsets (except, maybe, at your grandma’s house or regions that...

Grand Theft Auto Japanimation mod
As former Grand Theft Auto dabblers, the above mod has to be one of the most simultaneously entertaining and disturbing things we’ve ever seen. The unknown hacker has modified the game so you now control a pair of giggling, uzi-toting schoolgirl anime twins who blow away gleeful Pikachu’s and a bad-ass Doraemon cruising around on the hovercycle from Metal Gear Solid. And be sure to...

Yahoo! Map Mixer - Overlay Maps With Ease

Thankfully those days are long gone and uploading maps is getting easier and easier. Yahoo’s Map Mixer is the latest development and is innovative allowing the placement of map overlays as simple as...
Gareth Neal's traditional/modernist table
We had no idea inanimate objects could experience an identity crisis. Deep down, designer Gareth Neal’s table is truly traditional, but trapped in a modernist body. The intricate and precise wood construction reveals a true “self” amidst a blur of stylistic uncertainty.

Using the good ol’ wooden peg puzzle format, “Learn The Basics” gets young ones acquainted with the most iconic brand-centric shapes in technology, synthetic fragrance, fast food, pornography, and athletic gear before they can even say...

Beloved Pets In CastsThe pain that an animal lover goes through when their beloved pets are in pain is indescribable.

Pairing portraits with porridge, his project shows people alongside their morning sustenance. We find it surprisingly addictive to flip through...
