Yes, I was one of those people. The people that dared to defile a classic Jane Austin novel with zombie mayhem. But, the truth is, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a hell of a lot more readable than the original. And so your postcards shall be. Indeed, they too have been inflicted with the mysterious plague of the undead.
If you want to know what Conan O’ Brien’s face looked like when he learned he was getting a $45 million payday for doing nothing, here it is sculpted out of fine polymer clay and attached to the guts of a wind-up toy. “Robo Coco” joins the trio of freak machines being sold on Etsy which include the Bill Nighy “Billgoblin” and the Dennis Hopper “Hopper” pictured after the break, along with additional photos and videos of the horrifying atrocities in action.
Donald Kennedy put his custom toy building talents to good use creating this concept Mario Mech which is made from a vinyl figure and a Mario keychain. He eventually plans to build Mechs for a variety of characters in Marioland so they can wreak havoc with giant versions of themselves. However, Mario’s not going to earn any intimidation points if these things are built to scale. At this rate, it looks like him and his Mech will only be the size of your average human.
I’ve seen a super-realistic Michael Jackson figure, but this new item from Japan’s Good Smile Company has something it doesn’t—bendable tip-toes. That means you can pull moves off like…
I mean, you’re still drinking wine right? Oh wait, that’s a bottle of moonshine you made in a dumpster. My mistake!

Remember that instant beach ball I posted the other day? Well, this 10-foot version is waaaaaaay on the other end of the spectrum. When deflated, it’s not going to fit in any portable can—unless you consider rolling an oil drum down the street “portable.” It’s also the kind of thing you are going to need an air compressor for. Hell, fill it up with helium and you might be able to get airborne.
Recipe for a unique USB hub: 4 USB ports, 3 LEDs, 1 cup of gas station quality crystal art, 2 cups of arcade style claw game prizes, 1/2 cup of mail order Americana sculptures, sprinkled liberally with “…whatever” and voilà! The USB 4 Port Hub with Crystal Hawk LED Light.

From Fashionably Geek: Just look at this Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader concept helmet. So awesome it takes your breath away right? Now, how about that $900 price tag? I’ll let you catch your breath for a second—when you’re ready, there’s more after the break.
If you have to ask why, you aren’t a big enough nerd. It’s a lot of work for something that’s relatively pointless, but I have to admit—having a really tiny arcade machine would be pretty cool. Check out the video above to learn how to make one yourself. If you can move at superhuman speeds, the entire build would take less than 2 minutes! If you’re lazy, you could always just bid on a finished product for sale on eBay.

There’s now a free app (iTunes link) available for your iPhone which will allow you to wake up the same way Disney characters do, with the sounds of 2D chirping birds. For added illusion, you can stick your iPhone in this BirdBox and tap the screen in order to see your potential wake up call nesting inside. The BirdBox is made of high quality heavy card, is easy to assemble and is available in four different colors. The only problem is if you smash this alarm clock in the morning, you’ve killed a bird and ruined $100 phone. You don’t want to start your day that way.
