This guy modded his iPhone, iTouch or iPlaywithmyself to run MIDI signal to his PC. That’s cool and all, but then I saw him break out the horsehair bow. He rubbed his electric guitar with it! Guitars aren’t meant to be caressed! that’s Sacrilege! It’s Sacre Bleu! It’s Hacky Sack! Knick-knack paddywhack give a dog a bone, even. My point is, his music is scary as fuck, and will probably give me nightmares, but it’s cool anyway.

You’d have to think long and hard to come up with a cooler gadget than this- on land, this remote controlled “tank” doubles as a beverage transporter. When it hits water, the wheels fold up into the beverage compartments, giving you a remote controlled boat. Oh yeah, and it shoots BBs. Hit the source to see a video of this thing in action!
