Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
RETROnoob’s Retro Reality series of photos is a wildly imaginative idea.
By taking classic video game characters and Photoshopping them into actual pictures, they take on a realism that is somewhat creepy yet definitely cool.

I’m going on a work related trip to Chicago today, so DYH is going to be light on the updates, but in place of my normal posts, I’ve added tons of cool/great/awesome/semi-lame links from my “write about this one day” pile to the DidntYouHear.com Facebook Page.
If you haven’t already, be sure to become a fan of the page, since I’m going to try to use it more often as a place to put all of the interesting links that I find that I just don’t have time to write a full post about.
See you there!

If mountain breezes, lilac mornings, and heavenly honeysuckle aren’t exactly your preferred scents when it comes to candles, then perhaps you should check out Hotwicks, a company that wants to make “one of a kind candles that remind you of cool things”.
What types of cool things?
Try Beer, Campfires, Dryer Sheets, Hippies, Pancakes , Urinal Cakes, Strippers, Pigskin and more.
In addition to these scents, you can also combine scents for a whole theme of aroma.
Take beer for example:
Does it get any better than that?

Are you the type of person that likes surprises?
Then you’re probably the type of person that would like the SomethingStore, a website that sends you “something, an item selected randomly among many things from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping) and you will find out what your something is when you receive it”.
What could this something be?
Yours may be a cool gadget, rare book, table game, handmade necklace, reverse clock, box of gourmet chocolates, set of shiny shower curtains, popular video game, big-box retailer gift card, the latest version of a software, a set of kitchen knives, a pair of designer jeans, garden tool, kitchen appliance, unique home decor item, electronic equipment, magazine subscription, office supply item, or…
Your something will most likely be brand new, though it may also be refurbished or antique.
So SomethingStore can send you anything?
Well, besides “items or services that are illegal to trade in United States”, yes!
Sound good?
Then discover your something is today.

Max Knight’s Walking Bike might not be much faster than just plain walking, but it sure does look cool.

As if mechanical-digital watches weren’t already cool enough, Harry Winston has created a watch that uses mechanical pixels to display the time at the push of a button, and called it the Opus 8.
Even the back features a second time display, with a power reserve indicator to tell you when your awesome is running low.
Only 50 were made, and apparently they all sold before the watch was even unveiled, so if you want one, then get the house on the market and start checking eBay, because these aren’t exactly going to be cheap.

Blank is Like Blank is a simple site that provides the occasional analogy to live by.
With quips like:
Justin Feinstein is firmly establishing himself as the king of the one liner.
The De Grisogono Meccanico DG is possibly the coolest watch I’ve ever seen.
Scratch that; The De Grisogono Meccanico DG is the coolest watch I’ve ever seen.
Why?
Because it’s “the first all mechanical watch with a digital display integrated into it”.
Let me repeat: An all mechanical watch with a digital display. No LEDs. No digital parts. Just 651 of the smallest watch pieces imaginable working together to make magic happen.
Sink in yet?
Basically, the DG 042 De Grisgono manual movement that powers the watch uses some sort of half magic half mystery potion to make the numbers at the bottom change every minute, and in doing so, causes shock and awe inside of anyone that sees it.
It’s either that, or they figured out how to shrink little elves and keep them alive inside of the watch, but I prefer to believe the former.
According to the press release:
Only 177 of this super limited edition will be made available in either red gold, titanium and gold, titanium and platinum, or titanium and rubber, and if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. (But believe me, with a watch like this, most people will have to ask!)

Javan Ivey’s My Paper Mind video is an interesting experiment in using the Stratastencil technique that he developed to make a movie.
Based after the Stratacut technique, Stratastencil is an additive process that adds layers onto each other while still showing the layer before it.
The result is an interesting time lapse meets three-dimensional effect that looks quite cool:
