Sure, it’s killed a bunch of people, but it’s kinda got a funny name – like if we suddenly had a deadly epidemic called ‘Bananamortis’ or ‘Clownitosis’. I, for one, support the interpretation of potentially deadly epidemics into cute dolls and figures. Cubeecraft brings us ‘Swine Flu’, which is not only a really great set of [...]

Let them eat cake, or in this case let them make cake. But instead of sugar, flour and pounds upon pounds of fondant, it’s time to make this culinary delight out of paper and glue. William Goldman, one of the producers of the very sweet Food Network show Ace of Cakes, is baking up a book [...]

I had a super cool kick scooter at my last job. It was an internet company and everyone would zoom around each other’s cubes on their little razors. A cliché yes, but also it was fun. When the company was bought they not only made us turn in our laptops, and our keys but they [...]

Yes, I do have a toy fetish, but being that I’m a red blooded American girl, I also have a great big lust for all things shoe and bag related. Needless to say, as soon as I spied this set of free downloadable Hermes Kelly bag, I immediately had to get the entire set. Sure [...]

Almost everyone I know has illusions of grandeur that they have what it takes to create their own clothing line. Slap a witty slogan, a retro pic or just scribble your initials, and it’s a marketable shirt. But instead of flooding an already oversaturated market with your vanity clothing project, just go and customize [...]

You know what’s cool about Japan (okay there’s a LOT that’s cool about Japan), but one thing that’s pretty rad for those who like to consume a bit of the booze, are the beer vending machines that line the streets. To celebrate this commercial phenomenon Kirin Beverage Company (the king of Japanese beers) has created [...]

Who knew our state capital could throw such a massive art block party? And what exactly is 2nd Saturdays? Every month, galleries in Sacramento stay open for an art walk late into the evening, transforming the city streets into Sacramento’s largest art event. Second Saturday is a night to wander about, visit galleries and have [...]

Several times a day I sadly come to the conclusion that my computer is haunted. That’s the only rational I can give for the numerous crashes that I experience in a given day. Well, okay, maybe it is time to head on over to the Apple Genius Bar for some TLC, but until I do, [...]

You know those people who put blown out video cameras on their property or in their place of business to give the illusion of security? Now it’s your chance to take it one step further with one that’s simply made of paper! The British Nude Magazine (no, no, it’s an art periodical not porn mag, [...]

I love a journey back in time. Especially one that takes me to lands far far away. This amazingly cool “Japanese Retro Papercraft” does both of those, without having to create a time machine or get a passport. This set includes old school shop buildings and house interiors of the era plus one of those [...]

From the era of the E Tickets, comes memories of bygone Disneyland rides like Monstanto, the People Mover and Country Bear Jamboree. One cherished, albeit terrifying for any visitor with vertigo, was Skyway to Tomorrowland (which was a D ticket item for those of you keeping track at home). The Skyway, which shuttled riders above [...]

I contacted D. Emory a while back when I came across his paper sculpture, Spiky Baby. He graciously decided to go ahead and one-up himself by documenting a brand-new paper sculpture. I thought it would be fitting to run his story here. Give it up to Emory for cranking on this for us. I will [...]

I love free stuff. Especially since gas is four dollars a gallon, my cable bill just went up and we’re on the brink or perhaps already in one of those dreaded recessions. Needless to say, my toy budget is spread a wee bit thin. That’s why me and my pocketbook are lovin’ the free sample [...]
