While I’ve always been more of an Erector man, these cool little weapon add-ons for Lego by BrickArms are making me want to go buy a set.

The sniper rifle is by far my favourite.

They also have some custom Minifigs if you don’t think your current Lego crew are up to packing such realistic heat.

Wonder if they’ll release a series of realistically battle wounded Minifigs next.

If your ready to dismantle your old SNES controller, Mark Feldman has created a wonderful video tutorial to turn that gaming artifact into a brand spanking new wireless controller for the Wii. Sure, you could just get an adaptor, but for show-offs, it is wireless all the way, baby!

Art Lebedev may be best known these days for its various display-ridden peripherals, and the delays and uncertainty surrounding each, but the prolific design firm’s got plenty more on its plate, to which it’s now added the Verbarius electronic clock. As you can see above, the clock does away with the usual time-telling tools in favor of spelling things out, in five different languages no less. What’s more, it changes up its verbiage each time you ask it the time, displaying variations like “forty-five minutes past four,” “fifteen minutes to five,” “four forty-five”, and “a quarter to five.” This being Lebedev, of course, they’re also taking their time to build up anticipation in the device, with the clock supposedly set to only begin shipping in November. You can get your pre-orders in now, however, with a discount price of $158.25 available to those who order before September 1st, after which it’ll set you back about $180.

According to reports, the 19-inch SyncMaster 940UX will be axing the DVI and VGA inputs in favor of a USB 2.0 connector, which means you can finally do away with those flakey USB to VGA adapters of days past. Slated for a May release, the display should sync up with Windows XP initially, with Vista drivers (no OS X love?) to follow shortly thereafter. No other details regarding contrast ratio, resolution, or whether a 0.25-page installation manual will be included is currently available, and more importantly, we’re not so sure how your CPU is going to feel about its newfangled processing duties when you plug this sucka in. Still, Samsung claims between “three and five” of these monitors can be plugged in and used at any given time based on the amount of processing requirements your applications have.

Unlike most cellphone charms, this one actually has some functionality other than getting caught in the fabric strands of your pocket. Keep your favorite headache reducer or sinus clenser at easy reach.
