Ice Core Beer Pitcher Keepin' Things Cool

When it comes to drinks ice can be your best friend and your worst enemy. On one hand it keeps your drink ice cold and on the other hand it waters down your drink as it keep it cold. It's a double edged sword that get worse when it comes to a pitcher of drink -- until now!

That is the Ice Core Beer Pitcher. In the middle of the pitcher is a metal cylinder that opens from the bottom to put the ice in and chill the beer (or whatever you put in it) without watering it down. It's pretty clever.

The pitcher holds 60 oz. and is available from Keg Works for a mere $15.95.

Watch These Guys Put A Motorcycle Together

I love motorcycles -- even if I've never ridden one. I read all sorts of blogs and magazines to either see people making progress on their builds or read about the long hard road to get their perfect ride. I also like buying my biker mags and video game mags at the same time to get weird looks -- that's fun.

One blog I check out on the regular is Church of Choppers which is also a small shop in Des Moines, Iowa. While looking around on the You Tubes I spotted a year old video of Jeff Wright from CoC and a man only referred to as 'Fatty' from FTWco. put together one of the best looking bikes I've seen in a long time (IMO).



I really wish there was a clock in the shot so I knew how long it took. I would assume that this was done all in one day since they were wearing the same clothes throughout the video, but that trick doesn't work on all people (like me).

Be sure to check out the Church of Choppers blog (it may have a content warning) and for the motorcycle racing enthusiast check out FTWco..

Pirate Sword Letter Opener

If you really liked the Pirate Skull Door Knocker from yesterday and think you might want to just make people think you're a pirate from now on here is a little letter opener that would also make a great decoration.

This 9 and half inch long letter opener comes with the handy stand shown. This would make for a handy conversation starter with questions from your guests like "When did you decide to become a pirate?" or 'Your gums are bleeding, do you have scurvy?".

You can get your land lubbin' letter opener at Heavenly Swords for $17.99.

Pixelated Crayons For More Mature Coloring

Have you ever heard anyone trying to sell a revolution in crayon technology? Seems kind of an odd phrase doesn't it? It may something no one in history has ever said, until now.

You can make technicolor streaks across a page or maybe add some depth and variety to your shading. It's pretty simple with these pixelated crayons. You can get a set of six crayons for 1,260 YEN (15.41 USD) from Assist On which isn't too terrible especially for someone looking to try something new in their art.

12 Year Old One Ups Tony Hawk By Landing 1080

Tom Schaar is a 12 year old that has been doing some work on a mega ramp recently getting down bigger and bigger spins. Now a 12 year old going off on a mega ramp is already interesting, but what he ultimately ends up doing in his search for spins is plant his flag on one of skateboardings mountain tops -- the 1080.

Already at 12 his name is in the history books, so now does he go on to become the 'next big thing' to only fade away or does he indeed become a legend. All we can do is ride along. Of course I hope he becomes a legend though.

IV Drip Lamp Will Cure Your Darkness

There are a lot of strange lamps in the world because a lamp is such a simple concept. Does it light up? Yes. Well, it's a lamp of some sort! It's pretty amusing to see some of the bizarre, awesome, or complex lamps out there. I don't know which category this lamp falls into so I'll just put it in the 'WANT!' column.

This lamp is an IV drip style bag that you fill with water and comes with an LED light inside that can be powered by USB or an AC adapter. On the bag is a medical style cross with the phrase 'Fill Your Energy Up'.

The light is available with white, blue, or orange LEDs from Japan Trend Shop for $37.

Tested Talks To 'The Paper Airplane Guy'

At first when I saw that Tested was talking to a guy about paper airplanes I thought that the site was in trouble and they couldn't think of anything better to do. It wasn't until screenwriter and known associate of Tested Gary Whitta tweeted about it that I gave it a chance, and was blown away!

I highly recommend you watch this.



It was only halfway through the video that I realized that John Collins was the guy that made the plane for the Guinness world record that made a big splash on the net not too long ago.



Who knew paper airplanes could be so cool.

You Tube Star Freddie Wong Switches To Live Ammo

You Tube sensation and CG master Freddie Wong has been gun slinging for a long time now, but these guns either don't shoot anything or just shoot pellets. Now thanks to a video uploaded on his second channel, the behind the scenes channel, there is footage of Freddie with real guns and real ammo.

Check it out:



While it would have been funny if he had been a terrible shot he's rather good with a gun. Maybe all those years using fake guns paid off by putting him at ease, but that doesn't really explain how he's pretty accurate.

Maybe he's born with it.

Be sure to check out Freddie's main and second channel for a lot of great videos.

The Ultimate Pancake Plate

A couple weeks back I was inspired to have a good old pancake dinner by the breakfast announcement from guys over at Giant Bomb. It wasn't until now that I realised that my pancake dinner wasn't what it could have been due to my substandard plate situation. I didn't have 'Pancake Plates'.

That's right, plates made with pancake consumption in mind. How so? Well, the plate is made with a raised edge to slope the plate toward the pancake destroyer (consumer) allowing the syrup to pool for pancake dipping if syrup coverage isn't up to snuff. It very well may be the greatest invention since the pancake itself.

These 12 inch diameter microwave and dishwasher safe ceramic plates are available in white or buttercream in sets of two for $45.00 from Uncommon Goods.

I will now go cry for the people who don't know about these plates.
