Working Adventure Time BMO: Ooo and Aah

This is not the first functional BMO we have seen, but this version by Imgur user NinjaBunny9000 is one of the coolest. You can play this guy just like Finn and Jake do, minus the BMO voice giving you sassy talk. Also, it won’t run away and have adventures on its own.


The creator carries it with her almost everywhere she goes, and after about a year, she has finally shared some images. Her BMO can emulate games from several systems up to the PS1. The case was 3D printed, and BMO’s brains run on a Raspberry Pi 2.


She really did a great job. It looks just like our favorite Adventure Time console.

Apple Pay finally becomes useful in Canada

Apple Pay technically launched in Canada back in November, but it might as well have been non-existent -- you could only use a directly-issued American Express card, which isn't all that common in the country. At last, though, things are opening up....

Adventure Time BMO Hoodie: Red Hot Like Pizza Supper

I don’t know about you, but BMO is easily one of my favorite Adventure Time characters. Who doesn’t love a handheld gaming unit that somehow has consciousness and survived in a post-apocalyptic world?

Now you can look like BMO himself thanks to this awesome hoodie. Sure, the weather is hot here at the moment, but it will turn cold again soon. Be ready. Be BMO. You’ll be glad you bought one when it gets chilly.

This hoodie is made from a 60/40 cotton/polyester blend and even has a BMO zipper pull. Finn and Jake may be the main stars of the show, but where would they be and what would they play without BMO?

DIY BMO Portable Retro Console: RaspBMO

We’ve seen a BMO toy with a LEGO case and another one that appears to have a wooden case. Mike Barretta’s take on the living console has a 3D printed case and buttons. That’s right, this BMO works much like a Game Boy in that you use the buttons on its body to play.

Mike used a Raspberry Pi Model A+ and a Teensy 2.0 to power the gaming device. It has a 3.5″ LCD, a pair of 0.5W speakers and a 2200mAh battery.

Build Your Own BMO from Adventure Time: BYO BMO

Adventure Time fans are for the most part, very creative people. That’s probably why they love the show, because it is so creative and unique. Fans of the show create all kinds of cool art and toys. Now a very creative Adventure Time fan who goes by the name of Bob H built this BMO.

It looks pretty amazing huh? He can change it’s facial expressions and BMO even sings. BMO also plays the intro to the cartoon. Now I want one. It’s like BMO jumped out of the cartoon and is living in your treehouse now. If you want to build one for yourself, you can learn how.

Best BMO creation ever!

LEGO BMO Raspberry Pi Computer is Red Hot Like Pizza Supper

LEGO enthusiast Michael Thomas made this awesome LEGO replica of  Adventure Time’s BMO. But wait! BMO is computer! Michael also put a Raspberry Pi inside BMO, as well as a 2.5″ screen. That means he can actually use his BMO to play video games, just like Finn and Jake do with the cartoon BMO.

BMO Says It’s Tea Time!

If you watch Adventure Time, you know that BMO is an incredibly versatile robot. He/She/It can function as a video game console, toaster, flashlight, alarm clock, music player, electrical outlet and more. And now, BMO can serve you a cup of tea.

This awesome four-cup BMO teapot was handcrafted by Rebekka Ferbrache of Jade Flower Ceramics, and is a perfect likeness of the Game Boy-inspired robot pal. Rebekka says she was inspired by the Bitter sketch from Five More Short Graybles, in which BMO teaches its alter ego Football how to drink tea with pinkies extended.

But wait, there’s more – you don’t just get BMO when you buy this teapot. You’ll also get four nifty ceramic teacups so you have a place to pour your freshly-steeped brew instead of directly onto the surface of your coffee table.

The BMO tea set is available over on Jade Flower’s Etsy shop for $150(USD).

Amazing BMO Adventure Time Birthday Cake Has a Colorful Surprise on the Inside

The multifunctional BMO crosses over with Nyan Cat in this spectacular birthday cake that was baked for somebody named Pen. I’m sure those who were were in attendance at Pen’s birthday party had an awesome time that was made even more awesome, thanks to the mere presence of this fantabulous, multi-layered and multi-colored cake.

Adventure Time CakeThe image was posted on Reddit, where users were quick to analyze how the BMO cake was made.

In case you were wondering yourself, here’s how, according to user static80085:

  1. Separate the batters out and individually dye them with food colouring like so.
  2. Prepare 6 shallow, square cake pans (size is dependent on your cake size).
  3. For each cake pan, pour all of the colors in the color scheme you’d like at the middle of the cake pan (e.g. pour the red in first, then the yellow, then the green, etc.). Example would be here.
  4. Bake and assemble!

This cake is just pure win.

EnStream to bring mobile wallet to Canadians, make loonies obsolete (video)

EnStream to bring mobile wallet to Canadians, make loonies obsolete (video)

A joint venture of Canadian carriers Rogers, Bell and Telus called EnStream is in final talks with the country's leading banks (likely CIBC, TD, RBC, Scotiabank and BMO) to bring a mobile wallet solution to the Great White North within six months. The system, which was demoed at the CWTA Wireless Showcase last September, enables mobile payments by storing a user's financial credentials on the SIM located inside their NFC-capable phone. It aims to replace credit and debit cards at first -- perhaps even driver's licenses and loyalty programs down the road. Carriers plan to charge banks a flat rate instead of a per-transaction fee.

According to Almis Ledas, EnStream's COO, "banking machines will become the payphones of the future". While we command this attempt to standardize mobile payments in Canada, the time frame seems rather optimistic in light of the slow progress AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have made with Isis in the US so far. Different countries, different rules of course -- still, we think it's going to take quite a while to make loonies obsolete. Maybe this is the perfect window of opportunity for Google Wallet and Square to jump across the border, eh? Time will tell. Check out EnStream's mobile wallet in action on video after the break.
