Do you have an idea for a DIY project suitable for Chuck Norris, Han
Solo or Captain America? Then you’ll want to share it with Instructables
and Civilware for a chance to win some ultra-manly prizes from the Manly Craft Contest!
Hello Kitty, the worldwide cultural icon, cartoon star and ambassador
from Japan to China and Hong Kong, has an immensely huge following, and
it’s only natural that fans would want to personally take part in
building her little world. Mega Bloks to the rescue!
Mario Kart just might be the funnest video game in the entire world. Only the soulless can’t find enjoyment in go kart racing with super fast Mushroom speed, red shells and Nintendo characters. So you can imagine the even more ridiculous levels of fun you can have if you turned Mario Kart into a real life race against your friends. That’s basically what this is.

How would you like to have your favorite memories for snacks? You can even skewer them or heat them up to make some extra memorable smores. Sounds pretty impossible, but as long as that moment is captured and posted on Instagram, then Boomf can make it happen.
The process to transform selfies, family shots, pictures with friends, and foodgrams begins with Boomf. Simply link your Instagram account to the service and select the shots that you’d like to eat. You can order singles or multiples of any image. Boomf will do the rest and print your chosen images on fluffy, vanilla-flavored marshmallow squares for your snacking pleasure.
A package of nine printed marshmallows sells for £12 (~$20), and the service now offers delivery both in its homeland of the UK and in North America.

Every year, trash cans all around the world overflow with discarded gift wrap and packaging on Christmas morning. Some people take the time to unwrap their presents carefully on Christmas eve so the paper can be recycled, but the majority don’t have the patience (or simply don’t care enough) to do so. That’s where the plantable wrapping paper by Eden’s Paper comes in.
This unusual wrapping paper sports colorful designs that reflect what type of seeds are embedded in the paper itself. That means the entire paper is a giant seed packet that you can use to plant in your garden. How cool is that?
Naturally, it follows that the giftwrap is biodegradable, offering more eco-friendly options for its disposal.
Options for seeds include chili, tomato, broccoli, carrots, and onions. The plantable wrapping paper by Eden’s Paper is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of £5 (~$8 USD) will get you one sheet of the paper.

Dogs may be man’s best friend, but when it comes to modeling, cats reign supreme. Earlier, we saw a bunch of macho felines posing like male models in this hilarious photo series. This time, we’ve got another series that shows off the feline versatility: sexy cats posing like pin up girls.
These images are iconic, and what’s particularly fun and entertaining is the fact that each of the poses is replicated quite well and accurately by their feline counterparts.
Rawrr!
These shots are showcased at the Cats That Look Like Pin up Girls website, which was put together to promote Hurly-Burly, a fashion and costume company in Australia.

You might not be able to write for a living for one reason or another, even if you wanted to, but that doesn’t mean you should stop writing. Let off some steam, talk about your dreams, share funny anecdotes – there are so many things you can do with words.
They don’t have to be extremely long. In fact, there’s an app that lets you write short blurbs and share them with friends and random people when you’re done with them. That app is called Spine.
It’s a neat little app that lets aspiring writers publish five-sentence stories. You can basically consider Spine as a social network for micro-stories where authors and readers can connect and share stories with one another.
Users can post and browse stories in nine different categories, which includes literary staples like action, horror, sci-fi, and mystery.
Users can rate stories and share the ones they love to others on their networks. In short, it’s a community of writers and readers doing something they love: reading and writing.
Spine is available free for iOS devices and can be downloaded here.

Ah, cats! They think they rule the world, and they do own whatever
world, or household, they live in. That’s why gifts for cat lovers are
so à propos – they reinforce the unabashed truth that those persons are
dominated by their cats, and cat lovers think that this truth is funny… or
cute… or karma. Anyway, here are 8 of my favorite cat lover
gifts for this holiday season….
It amazes me as to the variety of survaillance cameras are on the market. They come in almost every shape and size, can be hidden inside anything from a USB drive to car keys, to fake air fresheners. How paranoid are we that this has become a thriving market? Check some of these mini spy gadgets out…
