Interesting mod of the motorcycle sidecar by Henrik Toth made of a World War II German fighter fuselage. It still looks cool without wings, but I wonder whether it’s street legal or not.

This Japanese father and son team who are both model train enthusiasts, spent a total of 10 years to build an amazing miniature railway and train set which they can actually take rides on!

The train is steam powered where it’s fuelled by adding pieces of coal to the miniature engine.

Besides maintaining their train and railway system, they also open up their playground complete with switchable tracks and a tunnel for other like-minded model train enthusiasts to use; and even kids get to take a ride on them!

Solid Alliance has come up with a set of unique-looking earphones that look as if they have gone through your head!

The most interesting looking one definitely has to be the set of earbuds with the katana design, half of it sticks into one ear and the next half out the other! 2000 yen each, Solid Alliance-Rakuten online store.

What can you do with a tape measure apart from the obvious? Instead of measuring objects and distances, this 28-second video shows a “tape measure master” showing off his skills by using it to open a porta-potty door, switching on a radio through the window and even fetching keys set upon the table from a distance!

The twelve days of Christmas, StarCraft style! Enjoy the song and Merry Christmas everyone.

Interesting concept of a bread toaster that toasts bread in a similar fashion as that of a computer printer. Slices of bread are loaded in the tray beforehand and are toasted when needed.

Smart idea of using gravity for the bread toasting process, although I think the height of the drop could be reduced without a compromise in efficiency and the time used for cleaning up loose crumbs. Nevertheless it’s a great idea after all, bagging its creator Othmar Muhlebach the second prize at a design contest in Switzerland.

This is another cute Japanese toy keychain, a squishy pudding that talks when it gets squished.

Reminds me of one of those mugen toys, like the infinite bubble popper or edamame toy. Poke at it till all that stress goes away! Four flavors available, original, strawberry, maccha and chocolate. 580 yen each, Strapya-World.

This is definitely a cool piece of art, a Mandarin song called “ABCD Said” by PixieTea. The music in this video was created from various music applications for the iPhone 3GS! Really creative of this girl to have come up with this idea and a great music video for the song showing how it was all done.

A “meh” for everything, that’s what this badge is for. If you aren’t too familiar with internet slang it means “who cares” or “I don’t give a horse’s behind”, usually following an announcement or question; although it’s usage gets more versatile by the day. $0.99, indiepin Etsy.

Here’s a really interesting looking gravity soda holder. It has the awesome ability to strike up quick conversations at the table, having both the soda bottle and the holder made of a simple piece of wood looking as if they are defying gravity.

This isn’t magic but simply science at work, with the center of gravity of the two objects lowered to the narrow edge of the wooden holder. It makes it so stable in its pseudo-instable state such that it can even stay upright on a narrow ledge! Absolutely cool stuff there.
