I just love the simplicity of these bare-bones Star Wars character posters by Sam Serling-Sutton.
Each set of 6 posters boils down Luke, Vader, Han, Chewie, C-3PO and R2-D2 to their barest of essences. Best of all, the set of 11×17 posters will run you just $12 bucks, so with a few cheap frames, you…

These wacky iPhone cases from Japan’s iMeshi are completely impractical. Not only do they not really do much to protect your precious glass iPhone, they make them look like something you could eat, but you can’t.
According to the product description, these phone cases are based on “some of the most popular Japanese food.” The…

All of these ‘bots are…

I always wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid and go into space. Aliens were typically really hot chicks on Star Trek and you got to wear an awesome helmet so I was sold. A company called Xtraordinary Adventures will now take you on a suborbital space flight, assuming you are rich.…

Spotted at SIGGRAPH 2010, this interactive art display might just look like a pile of sand, but stick your hands in it, and a variety of creepy crawly insects come to life.
Thankfully, these nasty many-legged creatures aren’t real. In fact, they’re digitally-projected images. Glowing Pathfinder Bugs was created by Anthony Rowe and Squidsoup. The…

Everyone’s psychopathic robot in huggable, squeezable form:
From left to right, that’s GlaDOS’s morality core, curiosity core, intelligence core and anger core. The plushies are made of fleece with felt and ribbon accents. They can also talk!

The largest, most unwieldy but also most awesome wedding invite I’ve ever seen:
