Shoot ‘em up: The LEGO Rifle (that actually works!)

Shoot ‘em up: The LEGO Rifle (that actually works!)

I’m not a big gun fanatic, but can appreciate a finely crafted weapon of smooth steel and other exotic metals. However, I can really appreciate a sniper rifle constructed of LEGOs that actually works, fed by (2) 8-brick magazines in bolt-action style. That is a feat of pure awesomeness!

Google gets a face lift.  Adds Bing-like customizable backgrounds.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some may prefer the stark white Google page we’ve all come to know (and some of us love). But in this visual age, we like color, rich media, and overall, entertainment. Starting today in the U.S., users can upload their own images as well as use any public Picasa image for their Google Search background.

I’ve often heard that kids who are bored are kids that get in trouble. Not a kid Nick Hagman decided that yes, he was bored. And yes, he was going to beat Super Mario a 1,001st time. Except this time he’d be a bit more creative and not use the typical Nintendo controller. This crafty chap took it upon himself to configure a Dance Dance Pad to take over button mashing duties and make a now easy game inexplicably difficult once again. As Nick points on in...

New Elecite BlackBerry Theme: Polygon

New Elecite BlackBerry Theme: Polygon

While I try to feature a new Elecite BlackBerry theme on the sidebar each time a new one pops out, it’s been quite a while since I’ve actually written anything about them. So here it is — Elecite’s newest BlackBerry theme: Polygon. You’ll notice it’s pretty far out there, as in way different than your typical theme. The blended nature and more monotone color aren’t for everyone. But if the styling itself doesn’t bother...
