Waveform Bracelets Are A Clever Idea

The Sound Advice Project was designed to help parents keep their kids off drugs by giving them a reminder of how much they’re loved and how bad drugs are. In this case, it’s a bracelet that says, in waveform, something like “you’re way too cool for drugs”, or, “drugs will make your penis shrink”. Thankfully, for $18 you can go to the website and record whatever message you want. I decided to made one for myself with one of my favorite inspirational messages from the bible, “When in doubt, PEW PEW PEW”. *WHA-PISSSH!* Whoa, what was that? You getting bible-belted, son!

Sad: Text Messages For The Friendless

Fiona Carswell is a friendless hag who lives in the woods and tries to entice children into her gingerbread house to eat them. Just kidding, I’m sure she’s cool and has tons of friends . But that didn’t stop her from designing ‘Cell Stickies’, which are electro-static stickers with fake text messages you stick on your iPhone when you’re feeling down. Because let’s face it, nothing boosts one’s spirit like catching yourself sticking a fake text message sticker on your cell phone. Am I right? Oooh — a text. “You are right. As usual.” Haha, just as I thought! And here comes another! “You gave me herpes.” Shit. Cell Stickies For The Truly Delusional [ohgizmo]

Now Now, Play Nice: Aliens Vs. Predator Ads

This is a set of print ads run by a New Zealand cable channel advertising its upcoming showing of Aliens vs. Predator . As you can see (if Geekologie hasn’t burnt out your retinas yet) they feature an Alien vs. Predator playing together civilly. This one is chess , but hit the jump to see pool and swingball. And speaking of swingball — go ahead, give them a kick. Go on — I can take it. Wait wait wait, I’m not rea–OH OFFFFOW OWW OWW OWW OOOOOOOWW OWW OW OW OH STOP OH STOP UHHH UUHH UUHH I CAN’T BREATHE STOP UHHH UUHHHH. Oh yeah, that’s the stuff . Hit it for the others.

Okay: Robo-Fish To Detect Ocean Pollution

This robotic fish , which looks like it was made out of precious jewels, isn’t, but was actually created to detect pollutants in the earth’s oceans . The 1.5 meter long robotic fish each requires about $30,000 to make. Their purpose is to head out into the open water, take in data about water pollutants, return to a charging station about every 8 hours and while charging, submit data about water quality. The issues with this first batch of fish is pretty clear - they’re way too expensive to be made in numbers big enough to be very helpful; their charge lasts just 8 hours so they aren’t able to have a very large range away from their charging stations; they run a pretty good risk of getting a bite taken out of them. $30,000? Jesus. For half the cost of a single fish I’ll rent a paddle boat and troll the underwater sensors myself. I swear, these idiotic scientists think a robot is the solution to every freaking problem. Which leads me to my next question — how much do you think a robotic fish would fetch on eBay? Wow, really? Grab your tacklebox and meet me by the dinghy! Video of the very life-like swimming fish after the jump.

Bus Stop Shames You Into Joining The Gym

Fitness First is a gym in the Netherlands that installed this advertisement at a local bus stop. It has a scale attached to the seat so when you sit on it (with legs hanging ) it shows your weight. It’s supposed to make you think about your health and joining the gym. But all it made me think about was how long it takes to cook a 68kg turkey. Fat Shaming at the Bus Stop [current] Thanks to Jonathan, who once hid lead weights in his pumpkin to win the heaviest pumpkin contest at the county fair.

Mmmm, The Most Delicious Resignation Ever

When Neil Berrett decided it was time to put in his two-weeks notice he did it deliciously — with a cake ! The cake reads as follows: Dear Mr. Bowers, During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim. However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors. Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27. Sincerely, W. Neil berrett Nice one, Neil. I typically like to go out with an f-bomb parade or a good old fashioned Xerox’ed penis, but hey, whatever cracks your tractor. Man resigns from job by handing in notice on cake [telegraph] Thanks to Julian, who resigned from his last job with a gallon of gasoline and box of matches. Oooh, going away fireworks!

I’ll Never Work Again!: Giant Tetris Online

Looking for a great way to piss away your work day? How about starting a giant game of Tetris ? Even after a full eight hours of gameplay you’ll probably be nowhere! The screencap here is of me playing for five minutes, and then letting it drop shapes on its own for another 2 hours and 42 minutes (larger version HERE ). You can leave your desk, go take a nap in your car, and have barely missed a thing. WHEE! I double-dog-dare somebody to fill the whole thing except for a line on one of the sides. You would be my hero! And also, a loser. Mostly a loser. DO IT! UPDATE : Added a screen cap of some art Geekologie Reader Colunista created with the game, after the jump.
