ManMade


Women aren’t the only crafters out there. Slide over scrapbookers, knitters and jewelry makers, men are in the DIY game too. And ManMade features projects that are masculine or at the very least gender neutral like those yellow baby showers.

Seriously, we’re digging this site. Where else can you find everything from bicycle pants how-to videos (peep it below) and DIY mouse pads to a whole post on 5 Ways to Open a Wine Bottle Without a Corkscrew.  They also seem to have a love for Mario. We send love to anyone who respects the more superior Nintendo brother.

The VW Bus Stereo-Speaker-Radio


VWSpeaker22

This is freakin’ adorable.

The Classic Volkswagen Bus has been the symbol for “flower power” in the 60s and Scooby Doo’s crew in the 70s and 80s. Now, it has been shrunken to speakers for our listening pleasure.

And that’s not all, this bus can play songs from your MP3 player, your computer by USB plug or operate as an FM radio. The other highlights are rolling wheels, functional head and taillights and horn sounds.

PacMan Vinyl Design Giveaway!


PacMan vinyl set
We’re back this week with another vinyl giveaway!

Born from the idea of two Italian architects, Vinyl Interior Design is a young company based in Sydney. They specialize in manufacturing and producing vinyl wall stickers, a great alternative to wall paper and stencils. The idea came from the necessity of decorating blank, empty walls without too much trouble or effort: their decals are easy to apply and to remove, and won’t damage your walls.

Vinyl Design will be giving away a PacMan vinyl set fit for any laptop. You can arrange the set any way you wish, as well as choose the colors you want [from the color chart seen in the gallery]. Included in the set are:

  • 1 Pacman, 8 cm diameter approx (3,1 inches)
  • 2 ghosts, 8 cm height (3,1 inches)
  • 10 dots
  • 1 pill

If your laptop is black or any other contrasting color, they can send white dots as well.

MANDATORY ENTRY: Take a look at Vinyl Designs retro designs and leave a comment below letting us know what else you like.

EXTRA ENTRIES: Tweet, Digg or Stumble this giveaway and leave a SEPARATE comment below with your status update or username. You may do this once per day.

For an additional entry: Subscribe via RSS with the big orange button up top.  Leave a separate comment letting us know!

The giveaway winner will be chosen Aug 1st.  Good luck!

Therapeautic Plug-Ins.


de-la-mancha

Therapy is a plug-in that allows you to transmit your feelings through music, without having to be a great writer. The results are displayed as full stereo audio psychosis. Instead of the usual knobs or sliders, Therapy invites you to type words to generate the psycho-somatic algorhythms that will shape your audio according to your own twisted mind.
