Hasta La Gadget!

If you work in HR and you start receiving LEGOs with resumes, blame – or thank – Leah aka Pastlightspeed. The Redditor and aspiring intern wanted to stand out to prospective employers, so she made a LEGO version of herself along with matching packaging and a pamphlet. I guess she’ll be known as LEGO Leah wherever she gets hired.

It’s not in these pictures, but Leah said she also wrote assembly instructions that also highlighted her skills.

Want to outdo Leah? Try submitting a life-sized 3D printed statue of yourself. Or try using a Raspberry Pi to make a gadget that reads your application out loud in seven languages. Or try sending a first-person virtual reality game that simulates your typical day at work. Don’t forget to send an Oculus Rift dev kit as well so your future employer can play the game. Speaking of which, you can also try to get bought by Facebook. That should get people’s attention.

My Little Pony fans will love what DeviantARTist Chris Cardi of CARDI-ology is doing. He modifies Xbox 360controllers with pop culture themes, like Batman and Pikachu to name a few. However, these Pony controllers really take the cake.

There is even one for Vinyl Scratch, the most famous DJ in Equestria. It has a cool nightclub vibe thanks to blue and white LEDs in the front. Still, it is hard to pick a favorite, since they all look great and represent their Pony extremely well.

I think I like Rainbow Dash the best. That color combination just looks good on an Xbox 360 controller. Good work cardi. Friendship is magic, but my BFF is my game console.

If you’re interested in having your own custom controller made, head on over to CARDI-ology’s Facebook page and drop him a note.

I don’t know if I’m just weirdly shaped or what, but I’ve never found a wetsuit that fits perfectly. Sometimes it’s just a nitpick—as in it’s just a bit too tight one place, or a little baggy somewhere else—and sometimes I’m right in between sizes for a brand and can’t wear any of their suits (I’m looking at you, O’Neill).

Check out this custom Zelda-themed N64 with a beautiful green flake finish. When you play Zelda on this console you feel like you are really in the game since it looks so magical and awesome.

This sweet console was created by Deviantartist Zoki64 and it just takes your breath away. This kind of paint job is usually reserved for custom choppers and muscle cars, but damn if that green flake finish doesn’t look great on an N64.

Plus, all of that detailing on the controller and the console just complete it. This is the sweetest console you will see all day. Great work Zoki64.

Garrison Bespoke is a luxury suit tailor in Toronto, but its latest product might as well come from the research labs of a secret intelligence agency in the UK. It’s a three-piece suit that’s strong enough to withstand attacks from a hunting knife and even 9mm bullets fired at close range, thanks to several layers of carbon nanotubes hidden inside the vest and suit jacket.

According to The Globe and Mail, Garrison Bespoke co-founder Michael Nguyen started development of the stylish life-saving device when one of their clients was assassinated. But because they are suit makers – and because bulletproof vests already exist – Garrison Bespoke ensures that its clients will enjoy protection without sacrificing style or comfort.

The company outlined its goals in developing the suit as follows: “First, to be modern and stylish. Second, to be light and comfortable. And, third, to be reliable and safe.” The video below is from CityNews’ report on the custom suit:

So how much will this ballin’ bullet-stopper cost you? The Globe and Mail says that a custom three-piece suit will set you back at least $20,000. I’m not sure if that’s in Canadian or US Dollars, but there’s not much of a difference between their values anyway. Garrison Bespoke also has a bulletproof polo shirt for $800, for casual yet life-threatening Fridays.
