Let’s face it, terestrial radio is all but dead. Who wants to wade through all the commercials and limited avalability of the FM or AM dial? I listen to internet radio all the time, when at work at my desk and even on my iPhone when in my car and this little baby while now [...]

Mini Lighter Cufflinks

Seriously, you’d have to be a cast member of the TV Show Madmen to be able to pull off something like these mini lighter cufflinks. Seriously, who smokes any more (besides me. I know I know). Not even the modern day super spy would want to be caught with these things, they’d opt for the [...]

Your Very Own Tricorder

I’m a hardcore Trekie. I’d almost go as far as saying i’m one serious ass trek head, but i’m not sure if walking out in public with this $49.99 Tricorder replica, especially if i don’t want to be laughed at or beaten in public. On the other hand if you plan on attending Comic-Con or [...]

How To: Make A Metal Detector

Boost Your Cell Service For Cheap

Briefcase Machine Gun

Just for the record, I am one of those people who are against automatic or semi-automatic weapons, being from Canada it’s just a Canadian thing, but on the other hand this is one cool weapon (Video after the break). The briefcase machine gun is something out of every espionage or spy movie you have ever [...]
