Make a Grown Nerd Cry with the BSO Domizer

The high-lariously named BSODomizer is a little gadget that interfaces between a computer and monitor to display an image at either random intervals or when triggered by an IR remote control. The best use of this kind of toy, of course, is reminding Windows devotees like myself that the nerld-famous (nerd world) BSOD is always lurking around the corner, along with a Mac user who's waiting to screech "Get a Mac! Get a Mac!" like the most annoying parrot ever.

The BSODomizer does have legitimate uses, like calibrating a screen, but flashing the BSOD without reason is definitely a more entertaining one. Besides, that pun would've gone to waste if it had been called the DIY Image Flasher or whatever. The BSODomizer is available from Kingpin Empire for $85 shipped.

The Hills Girl Analyze the Large Hadron Collider

I don’t watch The Hills, but that doesn’t mean I’m not entertained when I see Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt prancing around and pretending they aren’t posing for the cameras:



in this clip, Audrina attempts to get scientific with the Big Bang theory and the Large Hadron Collider. Her friend explains that the Large Hadron Collider is used for colliding subatomic particles together—but maybe it can be used to see if there are any particles in that organ that lies between Audrina’s ears.

DIY Pumpkin Guaranteed To Make You Hollow Out Your Bowels.

It's almost Halloween again, and for those of you who have yet to try your hand at carving a badass pumpkin, check out this video of a self-proclaimed "scariest pumpkin ever"—a simple looking pumpkin with not-so-simple insides. Looking at the project, it's apparent that aesthetics are not what is shocking about this pumpkin. In fact, its happy eyes and goofy grin may be enough to lure you to come over and give his nose a squeeze, until you hear the sound this squash can make!

The pumpkin is based around an Adruino board, with a few LED lights and a super loud truck horn, which definitely makes it the most annoying—or loudest, or even most obnoxious—pumpkin ever, but definitely not the scariest. Make sure you're wearing earplugs and a diaper as you head over to MakeZine to see step-by-step instructions on how its made.
