Give your MacBook some style with Stick With Me Baby, a set of stickers that you can use to decorate the Apple logo on the back of your laptop.
It’s not all fun and games though, because you are faced with a pretty tough choice: Do you go with the Bros, or stick with the Mos?
Google Goggles is the future. But not the ‘eventually we will have something that can do that’ future, since it already exists, but the ’10 years ago, we thought we would have something that could do that in 100 years, but now we have it today’ future.
To use Google Goggles, you just take a picture of something with your Android phone using the Google Goggles app, and it automatically searches Google for the thing in the image. For instance, snap a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, and it will automatically show you the search results for that landmark:
You can take pictures of landmarks, books, business cards, artwork, places, wine, or even a logo, and it will do its best to figure out what you’re trying to search for. And while that’s a neat trick on its own, the future part comes into play when you think of what this could enable with a few small tweaks.
Imagine if you had a pair of glasses with a camera in the front and screens on the inside. (See the Vuzix Wrap 920 for an example.) Then imagine that the camera is connected to the Google Goggles app, so that whenever you look at something, it automatically pulls up additional information from the web and displays it right in front of you. Suddenly you’re walking around like the Terminator with an augmented reality style display giving you extra information about the world around you in real time.
That might sound futuristic, but the technology to make it happen exists today, and all that’s needed is for someone to put the pieces together and get everything to play nicely with one another. Throw in a machine gun and add some Michael Bay to the mix, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a party!
KISS fans and anyone that just likes wearing strange pieces of clothing should appreciate this collaboration between the long-tongued rock band and Mark Ecko’s Black Rhino line.
A tribute to Kiss, one of the most recognized American rock bands… and bassist Gene Simmons’ who constantly flaunted his impossibly long tongue.
The hoodie zips all the way up to reveal a Gene Simmons mask, and the giant red tongue design on the front should be hard to miss whether your face is covered or not. There’s also a large KISS logo across the back in case someone thinks you’re just trying to chew through a boa constrictor.

When Twitter did a recent redesign of their site, they unveiled a new bird logo that was a bit happier than the old bird.
Since then, an artist named Adam Koford (aka Ape Lad) has been creating custom avatars for his twitter account that use the same shape as the Twitter bird, but in interesting and unique ways.
Sometimes, artists’ imaginations astound me…
