Hasta La Gadget!

Whoever said that food and fashion don’t mix obviously haven’t seen these dainty and appetizing hats by MaorZabar Hats. Granted, the concept is strange and a bit far out, but the execution is just gorgeous.

Of course, it’ll take a playful personality (and possibly a large head) to be able to pull some of these hats off. But if you’re looking for one-of-a-kind fashion pieces that make a statement (mostly about your love of food), then these hats will do exactly that for you.

Sushi, fried eggs, salad, and pies – there’s a hat for each and every one of them.

They’re available for $266 each. Not cheap, but you have to admit, they are pretty amazing. You can check them out on Etsy.

If you want to play the old “head in a jar” prank for April Fools’ Day this year, Instructables editor Mikeasaurus has you covered. Best of all, you don’t need an actual severed head to scare your friends. In fact, the gag is a lot simpler than it looks.

Basically you will be blending two pictures together in a photo editor to create flat image of a head, which is then laminated and submerged in a jar. When the flattened image in inserted into the curved jar, the distortion from the water gives the illusion of a decapitated head in a jar of preserving fluid. See. It’s simple.

See, no decapitation required. And it looks super freaky. So go scare some friends.

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.

Last year we saw a fabric oven mitt that looked just like Nintendo’s infamous Power Glove. Pete Hottelet is raising funds on Indiegogo for a very similar product. Also named the Power Mitt, Pete’s take is made of silicone rubber and thus should be more heat-resistant than the other mitt.

As you can see, Pete’s glove also has separate sheaths for each finger making it look more like the original Power Glove.

For now, Pete is only offering right-handed gloves for average-sized hands. He said that if he gets over 1,000 orders through the fundraiser he’ll get a mold for a larger glove, and if he gets over 1,500 orders he’ll make a left-handed glove.

To the privileged right-handed people with perfectly sized hands: let’s help our mutated brethren adorn their weird limbs with a power glove. Pledge at least $39 (USD) on Indiegogo to get a Power Mitt as a reward and combat handedness prejudice.

The last time we saw professional cosplayer Peter Kokis, he was wearing his Crimson Typhoon costume. He reached out to us to share his latest creation, the Brooklyn Alien. Like his other costumes, this Xenomorph suit is made from various everyday objects.

Peter said some of the parts he used include “knife sharpeners, toilet plungers, drain mats and conduit tubing.” It took him about 16 months to gather the parts he needed and a total of 400 hours to put them together. The end result is this 120lb. recycled beast.

Hug your browser’s face and head to Peter’s website for more pictures of the Brooklyn Alien.
