Have you ever melted you little sister’s Barbie doll in her Easy Bake Oven? Did she get even?

Young Woz & Jobs Play Set (Not LEGO) via Digg
Limited edition with only 300 sets to be made. The sequel to The 1984 Apple commercial themed play set. Only the real, hard-core Apple addicts are tough enough for these toys. [P.S. don’t tell Victor]

Pillowig via Digg
I’ve always thought those neck pillows for napping on planes were a lame accessory. This goes one (ore maybe more) step further.

Artist sets sail in life-size paper boat via Digg

Boelter [the boat’s designer] said it will survive forty days before it disintegrates into a wet, sinking mass.

It’s aqua-origami, all right, but is it art?

I remember a game in my high school physics class where the everyone class made life-size paper boats out of whatever material student could scavange. The raft that won, was made out of 30+ milk cartons glued water tight. The other boats had varying degrees of success and the pool was a mess from the Elmer’s glue that we were required to use.

Geeky Vanity Plates via Digg

You’d think Chuck’s license plate would be in here, but “podcast” is still a bit too niche to show up on anyone’s radar.

The Pear Light: Portable light bulbs that grow on trees via Digg

Now that I think about it, here’s an idea that should’ve been around since Uncle Fester was on TV. I guess it just wan’t practical until LED technology matured.

If you think binary LED clocks are too hard to read, you may want to skip this. But real Technorama fans cannot afford to miss this.

Alternative & Crazy Home Construction Materials : Beer Cans, Tires & Cardboard via Digg

“Crazy” hits the nail right on the head for some of these structures. I bet that house made of tires won’t meet the fire code. Needless to say, don’t try this at home.

I had to take the Wiki offline. Wiki Spammers (Dirtbags of the internet) were just ruining the whole thing. They would load up pages in the wiki with link and links to stuff trying to raise their Google page rank. Sure I can revert a page to an original state, but it was becoming too much work.

SO, we will have to reboot the wiki and bring all the old stuff back. Please be Patient with us, and we will have it back up soon.

Crows are the Einsteins of the avian world via Digg

Now seven of the birds have shown scientists they are able to retrieve an unreachable snack with a stick which first had to be obtained using another tool.

VW Billiard table via Digg

A old fashioned VW van was cut in half and a standard billiards table was installed in its frame. Can’t believe some guy parted with it for just $8,000.
