Probably old news, but a nice story of desktop toys entertaining themselves with Google street view.

Paper Computing and MIT’s High-Low Tech Group

January 10, 2012 – 5:53 PM

Randomly saw this video on Liveleak of MIT’s High-Low tech group’s project on a “kit for sketching electronics”, in which a designer is able to stick some crazy looking electronic components to a piece of paper and then draw with a pen to create a circuit. It’s really interesting at the end where an interface [...]

LEGO Victorian Houses, The Fantastic Art of Mike Doyle

Stunning LEGO art by Mike Doyle. Made of 100% LEGO Pieces (no glue, etc.), it took him over 600 hours to create this spooky victorian house and approximately 110-130K pieces. You can purchase fine art prints of the work at Bumble & Bramble, or take a quick gander over to his sister LEGO inspired site [...]

Lego Mindstorms 3D Printer

August 31, 2011 – 5:51 PM

Can’t want to get my Legomindstorms NXT 2.0 Kit in the mail, so I can attempt to build stuff like this… Dude built a 3D printer out of his mindstorms and it cuts shapes out of flora foam quite impressively. Major props. Check out his site for more cool lego stuff.

Human Centipede Cat Toy

June 25, 2010 – 3:38 PM

This is fucking awesome, but I wish it wasn’t $100. Get your poop on here. Is it wrong of me to categorize this post as German?

Ron English x Secret Base

August 4, 2009 – 12:50 PM

New SUPERSIZED toy from artist Ron English and Japanese Secret Base. This is really dope. Translucent orange vinyl, also comes with a skeletal half which glows in the dark. By the looks of it, the packaging is also rad. Available at ARMTH for around $100. This is probably not a good toy to sleep on. [...]

Amanda Visell Vinyl Toys

July 30, 2009 – 7:27 PM

Feeling the toys coming out from LA-based illustrator Amanda Visell. Really cool vibe that harkens back to some of the George Nelson designs from the 1960s, as well as vintage food packaging. We have the Snake Oil toy in our house, but this Dragon Scout toy is hot!!! Both dragons are limited to editions of [...]

Frank Kozik – Anarchy TM

July 29, 2009 – 11:47 AM

We recently found Frank Kozik’s Anarchy™ toy, and it really brought about a feeling of childhood nostalgia of drawing skateboard pools and listening to SkateRock Volume 2. A very welcome addition to the office space.
