Richard “Datamancer” Nagy is known for his intricate steampunk devices, and has decided to offer custom laptops for sale with Victorian designs and engravings, a key-shaped USB drive, real wood and brass styling, and tons of attractive clockwork.

This simple “iPoop” concept starts with a common wastebasket, and transforms it into a laptop/tablet stand. It’s convenient, although it looks like it would be uncomfortable to hunch over and use. Still, the creator has started a facebook page in an attempt to draw the attention of a manufacturer that can turn this into an actual product.
But here’s my question: do you use your laptop, phone, or tablet pc on the toilet?
If you were wondering how one of those Garbage Pail Kids graphics we are giving away would actually look on your wall or laptop, I have put together a gallery that might help clear things up. More specifically, I peeled and stuck the 4-foot Atom Bomb graphic in increasingly random and inappropriate spots in my home, and, in some cases, juxtaposed it with what is traditionally considered to be “fine art.” In the end, you just might find that art featuring humorously-named, comically mutated children is just as valid.
Just a reminder that there is still time to enter and win our Garbage Pail Kids contest. The grand prize winner will receive one 4-foot Atom Bomb wall graphic and one Hot Head Harvey laptop graphic. All you need to do to enter is send an email to contests@nerdapproved.com with “Garbage Pail Kids Contest” in the subject line. In the body, add your shipping information. Alternatively you could become a fan of the new Nerd Approved Facebook page and simply comment in the contest thread. The last day to enter is January 31st. Good luck, and make sure to check out LTL Prints for all 77 Garbage Pail Kids graphic designs.
