Hasta La Gadget!

You’re going to wish you thought of this first after seeing the awesome gallery below.

Redditor hamburgersandwiches and his fiance got married last Saturday (so they’re husband and wife now) and have released to the universe some of the coolest and kookiest engagement photos ever.

They opted out of the usual poses and generic locations and chose to strike poses and reenact iconic scenes from some of the biggest movies of the century, including Back to the Future, Ghost (who can forget that pottery scene?), Top Gun, Spider-Man (yes, Spidey and Mary Jane’s upside-down kiss again), Indiana Jones, Titanic, and more.

You can check out the rest in the gallery below.

We wish hamburgersandwiches and his wife a lifetime of happiness–and may they have many sequels to come!

Life gets a lot more interesting when there’s a cat around. Consider yourself lucky if you own a cat with a personality that’s as huge as that of Tardar Sauce’s (aka Grumpy Cat.) Even if you don’t, their demanding but endearing ways will soon melt down your walls and get to you.

As a result, cats have people making them all sorts of stuff, from iPad games for cats to the Cat Tunnel Sofa. Another thing to add to that list is Kitty-Casso.

In case it isn’t obvious enough to you, Kitty-Casso is a paint kit for cats. It contains five tubs of non-toxic acrylic paint, art paper, paint shields, one frame, and of course, a surprise toy for your cat.

Now I don’t think your kitty cat will know what you expect him to do after smearing his paws with paint, but hey, here’s to hoping that he’ll surprise you pleasantly and not make too big of a mess. And there’s always an outside chance he’ll create a masterpiece and you can sell it to a wealthy benefactor.

Kitty-Casso is available at Amazon for $19.95(USD). And dog owners, don’t feel left out – they also make Pup-Casso for your anipals.

Skee Ball machines are a lot of fun. There is something just so satisfying in the act of rolling a ball and watching it bounce into a target. I played as much Skee Ball as I could when I was a kid. Everytime we went to an amusement park I spent the whole day playing. Good times.

So it’s no wonder that I love this project from instructables user fungus amungus. He loves Skee Ball as much as I do, so he jumped at the chance to make a DIY version. He had some help from the folks at Because We Can who did the design and fabrication of the machine on a Shopbot CNC machine.

It is made almost completely out of plywood. The score board is triggered by a bunch of optical sensors and controlled by an Arduino. He set it up to score more like an arcade game rather than your typical Skee Ball game. The top score so far is 7,777. With that sort of score, you’d think he’d have enough tickets to get the biggest stuffed bear behind the counter.

As the Starks used to say “Winter is Coming!” so you’d better start thinking about how you’re going to keep warm when Fall is over. You could freeze your bippy off, or you could cover it up with a ghost from Pac-Man.

These handmade crocheted blankets from AtomicBits are just the thing to give you a little added warmth as you cozy up on the couch in front of your shiny new PS4 or XBone this holiday season.

At a little over 2-feet-square, they’re actually a better size for a baby blanket, but you get the point. They still will look cool thrown on your bed or couch. Each one is made from anti-allergic Acrylic/Wool thread, and is perfect for any retro gaming fanatic. They’re currently available in red (Blinky) and orange (Clyde) versions, though I’m sure you could convince AtomicBits to make you an Inky, Pinky or blue ghost if you ask nicely.

Has anyone ever told you that you’ve always got your head in the clouds? Daydreaming isn’t a bad thing because it stimulates your imagination, just as long as you don’t lose sight of reality.

If people stopped dreaming, they’d stop thinking outside of the box and unusually amazing art installations like Cloud Pink wouldn’t come to be.

Using fabric and digitally imposed images of clouds, Korean creative agency Everyware’s Cloud Pink installation gives people the chance to “touch” clouds and literally stick their heads into them.

The best thing about the installation is that it allows visitors to actually interact with it. The projected clouds can be manipulated by touch, so you can move and generate clouds on its digital canvas. Check it out in action in the video below:
