This is a video of a pair of magic computer-viewing glasses made by removing the polarized film from an LCD computer monitor and applying it to a regular pair of spectacles . That way only you can see your monitor. Ooooooor get fired for staring at a blank screen eight hours a day. You don’t understand, boss, the screen isn’t actually blank — I was watching girls booty-dancing on Youtube. “That’s even worse.” What if I told you I was actually writing a blog on the clock? “As long as it’s not Geekologie.” *nervous laughter* Haha, that little-dick? No way man — I write celebrity gossip. Hit the jump for a short video of the glasses in action and a link to the Instructable to make your own.

This is a video of a guy showing off his homemade Diablo III costume in what can only be described as his grandmother’s guest bedroom. I’m diggin’ the bare lightbulb, bro. Obviously, the costume still needs some work. Namely, in the crotch region. Sure Diablo III isn’t even out yet, but I get the feeling the demons won’t be wearing acid-wash jeans. Regardless, it still amazes me how people can create such intricate costumes but can’t decorate a room to save their lives. I dunno, paint a mural of hell or something — anything but that wallpaper, shit! Hit the jump for the video.

Peekaboo! I say ironic because what good is a Game Boy if you don’t have any fingers? Exactly, only as good as a doorstop. These are a pair of Game Boy themed fingerless gloves lovingly crotched crocheted knit by MaDonna Flowers. They…will keep your wrists warm. And you know what they say about a person with warm wrists, right? Good circulation . Me? I have terrible circulation. My feet are blue. You could probably cut both my feet off and it would take me a week to bleed to death because all the blood down there’s frozen solid. FINISHED PROJECT: Miss Game Boy [memadonna] via These Handmade Game Boy Gloves Will Make Your Hands More Awesome [albotas] Thanks to Brian, who keeps his hands warm the old fashioned way: fire . I thought I smelled burnt hair!

Is that a flamethrower in your pocket or is your penis on fire for no reason? This is a flamethrower in the form of a handgun. So it’s small . There’s a video of the thing failing to melt snow off the top of a grill (try the propane tank!) after the jump, as well as a link to an Instructable so you can make your own. Just don’t tell your mom because you know she wouldn’t approve . Impressive, but I made something similar in middle school out of a can of hairspray and lighter and set my bathroom wallpaper on fire. I’m actually only posting this because I know there’s that ONE person out there that thinks this is the coolest thing since fridges with ice makers. Really hoping that person is you. Hit the jump for the mini-flamer in action.

This is a kid posing with his homemade Wolverine claws . He says he made them for $5 out of nothing but a couple old pairs of thrift store ice skates, a couple nails, a couple bolts, and access to a an acetylene torch and bench grinder. Really — and for only $5?! You sure you don’t want to come clean about anything? There’s nothing wrong with priding yourself on frugality, but you and I both know those are at least $8 claws. The jig is up! Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the Instructable to make your own, just don’t expect to make a pair for under $10 like this liar. Three pairs of thrift store ice skates for $1.75 apiece — please .

Granted it can only hover at 3-feet, but that’s a lot higher than your UFO. “I don’t have a UFO.” You ignorance pains me, you know that? But Shu Mansheng here? He’s smart . So smart he built an 18-foot UFO (NOT roflcopter ) out of $3,000 in parts (including eight motorcycle engines). It’s Shu’s third prototype and can hover 3-feet off the ground for a solid 10-seconds. Not sure how you can use that to fake an alien invasion , but who knows, maybe he’s gonna hang it in a tree or something. Chinese man builds flying wheel with eight motorcycle motors [dvice] Thanks to Martin, who claims he tried building a jetpack but ended up burning his garage to the ground. Martin? That was a meth lab and we all know it. Hey — let’s build something together on Faceybooks and Tweeter

There comes a time in every young man’s life when he receives his first soldering iron . To me, that day feels like it was just yesterday. “That was yesterday — you f***ing stole it out of my toolbox .” Haha — finders keepers! About 1983, when I was fifteen, I dropped my dad’s red Bakelite soldering gun and broke the casing. Of course he was upset, so I did my best to “fix it.” So I took my original Star Wars Han Solo pistol and gutted it to hold the soldering gun components. I even ran the lightbulb up into the scope on top. The button on the handle worked well for the trigger switch. Ten years later, when the old house was sold, the gun wound up in my belongings. To this day, when an underpowered iron just won’t do, I pull out the “Han Solderer” and get the job done. Half of me likes the mod, the other half is ill over the fact that I gutted my vintage Star Wars toy. What’s done is done. Sure you gutted your vintage Star Wars toy, but you made it even better . Just like I did with this gutted deer carcass. See? Before it was just a deer. But now — now it’s a gutted deer carcass sleeping bag . Tauntaun tie-in? I think so! A picture of what the original 1977 Blaster toy looked like before modification after the jump.

Remember Mr. Slingshot ? He is like, soooooo into slingshots . I heard he likes them so much he wants to marry them . I know, it’s that serious . Me? I’m married to the lord . Or is that nuns? I dunno, but one of them used to let us drink the Ocean Spray cran-grape juice out of the refrigerator at church before it was transubstantiationed. It was a habit. HIYO — nun joke! This is Mr. Slingshot about to send a little car to meet its maker (Ford? I have no idea). Per the man himself: So I just came back sunburned and really tired, but happy because it was just a blast — so much fun. Unbelievable. I think this is the most amazing weapon — rubber-based weapon that I’ve ever made. [I'm] really proud. Well thanks for watching! And byebye. You gotta love a burly-ass dude who signs off his Youtube videos with a sweet “thanks for watching — byebye”, amirite? I am. Great, so now you’re in love with him too. I knew I shouldn’t have pointed that out! Hit the jump for the would consider bringing to a knife-fight.

A grappling hook : you’re a shitty ninja without one. You have like, GOT to have one if you ever want to be taken seriously . Also, throwing stars and a cool name. Me? I’m Shadow Strike, the Silent but Violent Assassin. “Nobody calls you that.” Of course not — I’ve killed everyone I’ve told. QUICK, BEHIND YOU — IT’S ME! Too slow, I really was there though. You were reading Geekologie. Your B.O. aside, MIT student Christian Reed created a grappling hook gun out of an empty fire extinguisher and some other supplies and posted an Instructable online. A couple problems: 1. it’s loud, effectively blowing any element of surprise and 2. it doesn’t shoot nearly as far as anybody but THE most uncoordinated could swing a regular grappling hook. Sooooooooo, basically it’s a really shitty t-shirt gun. Over here, OVER HERE! Hit the jump for a video of the ‘you will never climb through a window’ using that thing in action.

If you’re like me you make gin in the bathtub . It does the trick, but more often than not you end up with a bottle with pubes and a washcloth in it. Plus it tastes like apricot facial scrub. Enter the $1,900 Synergy Home Beer Brewing System. It’s not your granpappy’s moonshine still! It offers no-nonsense looks thanks to professional TIG welded, 304 stainless steel construction, and features swiveling, lockable casters, an FDA-approved lower shelf for pumps and chillers, two 155,000 BTU propane burners with separate controls, a mash tun, hot liquor tank, and a boil kettle — all the tools you need to create pro-quality beer, conveniently placed on four wheels. Plus — PLUS — it looks like a meth lab so when your inlaws come to visit you can stay up the night before so you look all cracked out and when they get there mumble about “getting mixed up with the wrong group of people”. Then, in their daughter’s best interest, they’ll call the police on you. When the po-po arrive you can just explain it’s a beer-brewing kit and you were playing a trick on your inlaws because you hate their guts. After having a good laugh, the cops will notice a half-smoked joint in an ashtray and nail your ass to the wall. Unless you live here in LA, in which case THAT SHIT’S LEGAL AND YOU CAN FINISH IT ON THE COUCH WHILE THEY LET THEMSELVES OUT. Product Site (on Etsy!) via Synergy Home Beer Brewing System [uncrate] Thanks to Chris, who makes beer the old fashioned way: he doesn’t . He goes to 7-11, drops a six-pack of cans on the floor, and then asks the cashier if he can get some sort of scratch-and-dent discount.
