Hasta La Gadget!

So you have a LEGO purse and LEGO shoes, now all you need is the dress to go with. But this isn’t just an everyday dress – this is a wedding dress, made entirely from LEGO bricks.

The LEGO dress was designed by Japanese artist Rie Hosokai – inspired by his prior work – a similarly-shaped wedding dress made from balloons. It was created for the Piece of Peace LEGO exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.

Unfortunately, it’s completely immobile, so the groom and wedding party will have to come to the bride, but that’s a small price to pay for such an awesome work of LEGO construction and creativity.

How did Superman get so big and strong? No kids, he didn’t drink his milk. The answer is this super bread. On Krypton it is but bread, but once it is touched by the Earth’s Sun, it becomes Superbread!

We all wish that this could make us Superman. That would be pretty cool. Actually this bread was made by Chris-Rachael Oseland and it has the Superman insignia inside every slice!

I don’t care what kind of a picky eater your kid is, if you serve this up, they will eat their sandwich. Plus, all of their friends at school will be blown away. You can find the illustrated instructions at Kitchen Overlord if you want to make some Superman bread for yourself.

Jim Lee is one of the most famous comic book artist and writers of my generation. From his breakout work with the X-Men books, co-founding Image Comics and now working at DC Comics, Lee is also certainly one of the most important figures in the comic book industry. And for $25,000 (USD), this highly talented big shot will go to your house and paint your wall. Or whichever wall you want.

Lee won’t see a penny of your money though. He’s offering it as a reward for DC Entertainment’s Indiegogo fundraiser, We Can Be Heroes. To celebrate Superman’s 75th anniversary, DC is raising funds to help alleviate hunger in the Horn of Africa. They are offering various rewards, from digital copies of Superman comics to paperbacks signed by their respective writers or artists. There’s even a Superman-themed bedroom set. The biggest reward of course, is the aforementioned Jim Lee mural. That’s like hiring Mark Zuckerberg to write your Computer Science project. Or me to sleep on your bed.

So auction off your old comics and head to Indiegogo to donate. The proceeds will be split between the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps and Save the Children. As of this writing the fundraiser has raised about $55,000 with only 13 days left. That Jim Lee pledge will go a long way towards fulfilling their goal.

Are you a fan of the ancient ones and don’t mind when they awaken and destroy everything? Guard your sanity closely as you play with this awesome Cthulhu chess set.

Cthulhu is evil yeah, but he is actually pretty cute in this handmade chess set. It’s a must have for serious fans of the tentacled one.

I just love the detail on this set. The Pawns are Little Fat Tentacles, Rooks are Rhogog, the Knights are Zvilpogghua, the Bishops are Chaugnar Faugn and the Queens/Kings are Little Fat Cthulhu. Each piece is handmade from baked and glazed polymer clay.

The Little Fat Cthulhu Custom Chess Set is made to order. Get it in green and purple or change it up with colors of your choice. It will cost you $250 (USD) over on Etsy.

What’s your favorite memory? Your first kiss? The first time you brought your baby home? The times you’ve spent with your dog? You’ve already immortalized them in photos, and now you can enjoy them in a totally different way thanks to Lets Cafe’s Latte Printer.

It’s perfect for morning surprises and random pick-me-up cups of coffee for someone who’s near and dear to you.

Lets Cafe is a Taiwan coffee chain and they’ve recently unveiled the Latte Printer in their stores. The printer basically uses a range of colored cocoa powder to ‘print’ your chosen images onto the foam of your coffee.

Lets Cafe hopes this newest addition to their shops will draw more customers away from larger and more popular chains like Starbucks.
