T-BRICK: Display Your Toys INSIDE a LEGO

Posted on by

Do you collect toy cars, minifigs, or other small figures? Check out these awesome miniature display cases I stumbled onto which look like oversize, see-through LEGO bricks.

The T-BRICK comes from Hong Kong outfit Tiny, who makes their own line of miniatures, and decided they wanted a nice way to display them. Each T-BRICK is stackable just like a LEGO block, so you can create displays of any shape or size, and they offer a hinged back panel for easy access to the toys inside.

Each transparent acrylic brick measures 100(W) x 50(L) x 67.2(H)mm outside (~3.9″ x 1.97″ x 2.64″) , and 92(W) x 44(L) x 50(H)mm inside (~3.62″ x 1.73″ x 1.97″).

They’re available in sets of four for 59 Hong Kong Dollars (~$8 USD) or sets of eight for 99 HKD (~$13 USD), so they’re really a bargain – assuming you can get them sent from Hong Kong without spending a ton of shipping.

Guy Makes Unpoppable Bubble Wrap Drink Coasters

Posted on by

Bubble wrap is crazy amazing stuff. Popping it’s bubbles is both calming and addictive. There are some people who love bubble wrap so much that they would put it all over their walls and surfaces. For those people, check out these Unpoppable Bubble Wrap Drink Coasters.

bubble_wrap_1zoom in


These are unpoppable, so that’s kinda torturous for those who like to pop this stuff, but still, it looks just like the stuff you love, in coaster form. They were made by YouTuber Peter Brown of Shop Time, who created them by covering the wrap in clear epoxy, then cutting them into the shape of coasters, and peeling out the original bubble wrap. That simple process creates some unique coasters that will tease your need for popping bubbles.

Check out the video of Peter making these coasters if you want to try it yourself.

Clear promises Leap Motion support in Mac app, offers a glimpse of what's to come

We've seen some big Leap Motion deals announced, and some fairly impressive demos, but we haven't yet heard of many big-name apps that will support the gesture control technology. While not the biggest around, Realmac has today confirmed that the Mac version of its Clear to-do app -- itself noted for its novel interface -- will indeed support the motion controller "later this year." Details are light beyond that, but the company's offered a peek at what you can expect in the brief video after the break.

FreedomPop brings free wireless internet to the home with Hub Burst modem and router

If you happen to live in an area that's served by Clearwire's WiMAX network, then you may be interested to learn of a new home internet service that's very aggressive on the pricing front. FreedomPop has announced a free broadband service that'll offer 1GB of data consumption per month. Not to stop there, heavier users can sign up for a $9.99 monthly subscription that provides 10GB of data usage, or take advantage of a pay-as-you-go option that costs $0.005 per megabyte ($5/GB). Also of note, free users will be able to earn additional data by engaging friends and participating in promotions.

FreedomPop's service will launch in conjunction with the Hub Burst, a 4G modem and router that costs $89, which is available for pre-order now and is set to ship next month. The Hub Burst offers two Ethernet jacks -- useful for your desktop or home entertainment setup -- along with support for 802.11b/g/n (WiFi). While WiMAX is a bit pokey by modern standards, if you're looking to lighten your monthly bills, this alternative to Clear and NetZero may be the ticket, indeed.

See-Through Cocoon Lets You Live in Your Own Little Bubble

Posted on by

Every once in a while, I feel like being alone and that’s one of the times I feel extremely lucky and fortunate that we have a spare room in the house. Not that I’m a loner or anything, but I just like being able to get away from everyone and everything sometimes.

If I didn’t have a spare room to go to, then I’m sure something like the plastic-shelled Cocoon 1 would be totally up my alley. Although the price, not so much.

Cocoon1The Cocoon 1 is a piece of furniture that you can actually live in. It’s like the Cocoon Tent we saw earlier, only it’s made with a tough and clear material–and, well, it’s not a tent.

Cocoon

Designed by Swiss design group Micasa Lab, the Cocoon is cushy and roomy enough to let people sleep, eat, relax, and do whatever they want by their lonesome while they’re in it. The inside of the Cocoon is modular, so it can be configured as a living, working or even a cooking space. You can even get a Wi-Fi module for surfing the web inside of it.

The Cocoon 1 seems like a concept, but it’s actually an actual product that will be arriving sometime in Fall of 2013.

The only downside? The base model is priced at $2,990(USD), and goes up from there.

Clearwire sees wholesale revenues dip, LTE delays as it posts a $41.3 million net loss in Q3

Clearwire sees wholesale revenues dip, LTE delays as it posts a $413 million net loss

Clearwire's figures show that the network it isn't cool to love will be making placating faces at its bank manager for yet another quarter. It pulled in revenues of $313.9 million for the three month period, but with business costs (and depreciation) clocking in at $646.7 million, the company posted an operating loss of $332 million and a net loss of $41.3 million. If that wasn't bad enough, it's also hacked back a target to add TD-LTE to 5,000 sites before mid-2013 to just 2,000. A similar problem has occurred over at newly-minted majority owner Sprint, which has found itself a quarter behind its own LTE timetable thanks to parts shortages -- so let's hope the folks over at Softbank can help both companies improve their estimating skills.

Sprint stops being Clearwire’s majority owner

Sprint stops being Clearwires majority owner

Sprint has declared that it's no longer Clearwire's majority owner in a move designed to shield the carrier should the worst happen to its troubled bedfellow. While Big Yellow is planning to supplement its own LTE network with Clearwire's TD-LTE backbone, it's looked to distance itself on the business side from a company that finds it very hard to make money -- requiring handouts from Sprint just to stay afloat.
