The hurdy gurdy is one of, if not the coolest old-timey instruments. Great sound, beautiful craftsmanship, not a lot of talent required to get a basic sound out of it, and so on. But David Cranmer's Furby Gurdy turns all of that on its head, replacing the dulcet hurdy tones with the synchronized moans of four brutally scalped Furbies wailing in unison. The rig can also be used as a sequencer using an appropriately anachronistic ...

Wireless power for charging gadgets has been among the more vaporous of developments we've been hearing promises of for years. While there are a few working instances of the tech on the market, its large-scale adoption still feels miles away. So a grain of salt should be taken with this NY Times report claiming Intel will announce a major wireless power breakthrough today at the Intel Developers Forum, but the details do seem enticing this ...

If you feel like you need an extra boost for your office chair races and/or ego, be prepared to pay up as much as $15,000 for one of these RaceChairs, featuring original seats from Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati cars. Leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, every single element except a cup holder? For shame. Ray Wert demands his Ford Taurus office chair now! [RaceChairs via Geekologie]

We're not exactly sure how this beer minigun promotes pacifism as the creator claims, but who are we to argue? An entrant in the Nastro Azurro UnBEERlievable Collection, it's just one of many beer-inspired technologies that we're absolutely certain would function perfectly if fabricated for real life use. Luckily, no one designed a beer that could drink itself. [Nastro Azurro via TrendsNow]

At large, multinational companies, change is slow because of The Process. Not that Matt had any major problems with The Process — he knew what he was getting into when he started his job. A change begets meetings, which beget approvals, which beget forms that have to be signed in triple-triplicate, which beget more meetings, and maybe after a month or two you will have successfully added a column to a report.

Next time you're camping, instead of digging a hole or using one of those suspect comfort castle port-a-johns to dispense with No. 2, why not infuse a little portability into nature's call with the Shit Box? It's completely cardboard, fully biodegradable, and utterly ridiculous. And yet, I'm drawn to it. I want to see if it can hold my weight (170 lbs., colon empty).

Ever since a statue of Moses went up on the courthouse lawn in Cumberland County, Tennessee (and the ACLU sent the mayor a letter wanting to know if this meant that the courthouse would welcome non-religious and non-Christian sculptures), the lawn has become a "free speech zone" for 3D objects. The latest addition is a giant, gorgeous Flying Spaghetti Monster, erected by Crossville artist Ariel Safdie. County Mayor Brock Hill said, "We are basically operating ...
