Monday, September 20th, 2010Back in 1998, Nokia created fourteen prototypes of a modified N76 that featured custom sounds, graphics, and hardware to make it look, sound, and behave like a Star Trek communicator.

Thursday, September 16th, 2010So who knew that a post featuring both Cthulhu and Hello Kitty wouldn’t be the creepiest thing on the blog, today? (I’ll give you two hints: 1. Me. 2. Your daddy. P.S. I’m your father! GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM.) You are looking at a creep-tastic, custom-made wind-up toy of a steampunk-looking Carl Sagan by Larriva on [...]
