I’m one for unique, creative, and downright “your jaw hit’s the floor it’s so cool” gadgets. When someone takes the time to blend various objects or modify gadgets into new things that are completely off the wall, it’s a testament to how much of a nerd they really are. Say someone were to take your normal spinning hard drive, place a few LED’s behind the spinning platter, cut out some numbers, and time it all so the LED’s lit...

Itching for a new weekend multi-year project to take up in your spare time? Best get in touch with Rudy Heeman, your typical mechanic who resides in New Zealand.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking this fine display of creativity, merely get a small laugh out of two completely unrelated things being mashed into one. One you get past the oddity at first sight, you begin to realize that no matter the things combined, even this skateboard clock is cool and desirable in it’s own...
