Hasta La Gadget!

Apple might boast that the iPhone’s screen makes watching movies a pleasure, but I wouldn’t consider watching a movie on such a tiny screen pleasurable.

But if you can’t shell out a couple of hundred bucks just yet for an iPad (or a new TV), then the Mini Cinema for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S might just be right up your alley.

It’s basically a stand with an acoustic amplifier and magnifying surface that’ll give you better sound and a larger screen to look at, without the need for any extra batteries or external power. It won’t let you screen movies for everyone in the room, but I think it’s just perfect for watching a flick with a small group.

The Mini Cinema is available from Oh Need for $68 (USD).

Okay, so mermaids don’t really exist, but they will soon enough, if you’ve had one drink too many down at the Subsix bar. It’s a posh and exclusive bar that’s quite unusual, since it’s one of the world’s only underwater bars.

Subsix is located 500-meters off shore of the Niyama Resort in the Maldives, and it’s truly a sight to behold, both above the water and beneath it.

The floor to ceiling glass walls on three sides lets you enjoy an unobstructed view of the exotic marine life while the club’s DJ console and bar are along the back wall. Accessible only by boat, this club was constructed first entirely on land, and then later submerged into the ocean.

To be honest, the ambiance seems more fitting for a lounge than a bar. Imagine watching a huge school of fish swim by, followed by a group of drunk people screaming their heads off because they think the world’s being invaded by aliens.

Emojis are almost always fun. I mean, does it get better than throwing up hilarious characters like a hammering toilet with winged money to friends or changing Jay-Z and Kanye West lyrics to Emoji so hard? Didn’t think so. But what about those shape emojis? THOSE are useless. Until now. More »

I couldn’t sleep for days after watching Carrie. I cringed every time I saw someone with a video camera after I watched The Blair Witch Project. And don’t even get me started on The Exorcist.

Some people say that you’ve got to immerse yourself in the things you fear the most so that you’ll get over them. And what better way to get over these horror flicks than by chomping on the women featured in them? That probably sounds a little wrong, but you’ll get it once you see this series of cake pops that Miss Insomnia Tulip whipped up recently.

Each horrifyingly detailed pop features the leading ladies of all three movies I mentioned earlier, plus Misery (which I have yet to watch.) They’re made and painted wonderfully, but I’m not sure I can stomach these cake pops, much less bite their heads off in the process of eating them.

Here’s a neat LEGO trick that I haven’t seen before. Made by husband and wife team Sean and Steph Mayo, their Invert Island enlists the help of your computer to show off its trick:

That is not the actual appearance of Invert Island. Here’s what it really looks like:

As you may have deduced, the island was made with blocks that have the inverse colors of the objects they’re supposed to represent. If you want to see the switch for yourself, just hold alt+shift+print screen on your keyboard if you’re using a PC, ctrl+option+command+8 if you’re on a Mac (or follow these directions if you’re on Mountain Lion.) Of course, there are other ways to invert the colors of your browser or screen. I highly suggest you head to Sean and Steph’s Flickr page so you can switch while viewing the high resolution image of the island.
