500 XL, Desktop Speakers in the Shape of Giant... →
Quirky products company Fred has created the 500 XL, a really cool set of desktop speakers made in the shape of giant iPod earbuds, 500 times the original size.
Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL - it’s 500 times the size of the original! How great...
Markee Dry-Erase Paint →
We’re fans of blackboard paint here at AT. And we’ve seen it quite a bit lately. But this is a new one: it’s Markee Dry-Erase Paint… It paints on over any wall paint color. When dry, it allows the wall to be treated as a dry-erase board. We’re not clear on whether this causes any unpleasant glossiness but we can only imagine that it would. If it doesn’t,...

Police in Clearwater, Florida arrested 75-year-old Jean Merola because she wouldn’t pull her car forward at a McDonald’s drive-thru, despite being ordered to do so by an officer. She had ordered coffee and french fries and was waiting for them.
Merola said the McDonald’s employees told her to wait there for her food. Merola was handcuffed behind her back and put in the cruiser....
Artist throws herself at men. →
The Year In Pictures interviews Lilly McElroy, an artist who takes photographs of herself literally throwing herself at men. Apart from all the heavy gender-socio-dynamo analysis these images inspire, they’re also just fun to look at. Whee!
I started the project by placing an ad on Craigslist looking for men who would meet me at bars blind date style and let me literally throw myself at...
E&Y Beethoven Bust Clock →
It might be the residual effect of catching A Clockwork Orange at the Arclight recently, but I’ve become ever so slightly obsessed with some of the interior decor pieces in the movie, specifically the little bust of Alex’s favourite composer, ole “Ludwig Van”. A Google search brought back this amusing limited edition clock bust that warms my little Droogy heart. Sadly,...

At last, someone to get angry with in the aftermath of Heath Ledger’s tragic death yesterday.

Yes. WBC will picket this pervert’s funeral, in

This is a piglet born in China that has two snouts, two mouths, and three eyes. According to The Telegraph, the piglet lives on the farm of Yang Qiaofen of Huimen village, Menla County, China. From The Telegraph:
While it is able to feed - “both mouths can drink at the same time,” noted a surprised Yang, who is feeding it on powdered milk - it is unable to stand properly.

Hunter’s Movie Review: Cloverfield →
Before I begin, let me say that I am not one who hyperbolizes my thoughts on movies that I like and dislike. I prefer to lurk and watch other people do that. For months, I have purposely avoided the viral marketing for Cloverfield because I didn’t want the campaign to interfere with the actual movie experience. Obviously, after I linked up with /Film this month I tuned in a little bit more, but...

Lumas Editions Gallery, Melbourne →
Melbourne may well be miles from most of the world’s cultural
epicenters, but when it comes to appreciation of quality photographic
art, Melbournians know their stuff. Perhaps that’s why Lumas Editions decided to expand their global galleries by
opening a Melbourne tangent just over a month ago. Located in the
hip Little Collins Street precinct,

We interrupt our non-stop coverage of a certain suburban party for this statement from Victoria Police: Detectives have interviewed two 16-year-old youths over incidents on the weekend. One male has been charged with producing child pornography and creating a public nuisance. For those who’ve dozed through the past three days, that male became an international media celebrity while - home...

Dry Erase Paint by Rust-Oleum →
First there was chalkboard paint. And magnetic paint. Now, the folks at Rust-Oleum have introduced a Dry Erase paint. We think this would be great in a child’s bedroom, playroom or home office. It’s described as “a smooth, hard finish that creates a unique white writeable-erasable surface. Once dry, simply use any dry erase markers to draw or write messages and then erase!...
