Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
Ah, Nostalgia. What a wonderful thing it is reminiscing about the days when we used to play with Lego. Speaking of which, check out this flashback inducing MP3 player from Homade, made from the colored buliding blocks. Well not quite, since they aren’t an official Lego product. Still, they look exactly like the building blocks of our youth.
Read on for the whole collection and the lego-like iPod dock.

Based on Spears’ poor performance at the MTV 2007’s Music Video Awards, – months later – Scarnici has come up with a hilarious spoof.
Is it wrong to enjoy twisted videos like these?

HD-DVD players, look away now because what you see before you is one of Sony’s latest line of Blu-Ray players.
This here (above)-is the Sony BDP-S550 and is the more well endowed of the new players to hit the market in the summer.
