Amazingly realistic drawings using a ballpoint pen
The rest of them over at BuzzFeed are incredibly NSFW.. that means BOOBS. Lots of boobs. But still amazingly realistic nonetheless. So if you want to check those out, here’s the link.

THIS CAR IS DRIVING ITSELF.
Holy moly. That’s awesome! via Inhabitat:
We recently told you that Google was lobbying Nevada legislators to make driverless cars legal on state roads, and now it’s official – Assembly Bill No 511 just passed! The legislature makes it legal for Google’s automated Prius and Audi TT fleet to cruise Nevada roads. But this isn’t just about the next industry Google is aiming to take over – read on for a closer look.
Several companies have been working hard to create technologies that bridge the gap between today’s driver assistance tech and what they see as tomorrow’s driverless cars. The idea behind this is that driverless cars could avoid more crashes caused by distracted driving.
But just how far can this go – would you trust your car to drive you to work? And who will write the software to make this possible? We know one thing for sure: we’d rather have a Google, Apple or Linux car than risk the Microsoft blue screen of death while traveling 80 miles an hour to work. Check out the video above to see what Mashable thought of the driverless fleet.
AWESOME Harry Potter Horcrux chart. You probably won’t get it, though. NERD POWUH!

LOL. Harry Potter jokes. YOU WOULDN’T GET IT UNLESS YOU’RE AWESOME.
Harry Potter Innuendo of the Day: Based on the position of some footprints in the “Marauder’s Map” closing credits to the third Harry Potter movie, it appears some mischief was definitely managed, if you know what I’m saying.

SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
The fallopian shaped contraption is actually for sleeping at work.
You just slip it on like a stylish sweater vest and take a relaxing nap on your desk.
The only thing that concerns me is the lack of ventilation. I can’t even have a blanket over my head with a good 2 cubic feet of breathing room without having a mild panic attack.
Where our billions of dollars in NASA funding goes…… SPACE TOILETS.
I have to admit, I have wondered how this works. But that seems very complicated. Also, what if you have to go REALLY BAD. I bet 90% of space camp is used to train your bladder, the other 10% is spent on that silly insignificant g-force stuff…. pfttttttt.
Beautiful time lapse video.
I love stuff like this.
NERD ALERT!: Zombie-proof mansion. Probably only cost like 5 BAJILLION DOLLARS.
Good news everyone, if zombie’s attack and we’re facing the end of the world, WE ALL KNOW WHO WE NEED TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH. This guy. Well, the guy that owns that house. I’m not quite sure who he is. Via Geekologie:
The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security,” begins the designers’ website in the summary of the structure. Who wouldn’t feel safe in a concrete rectangle that folds in upon itself to become completely sealed? Even the windows are covered with a slab of concrete when the structure is on nap time.
The house, with its movable walls, has only one entrance, which is located on the second floor after crossing a drawbridge. Seems like the perfect opportunity to use a flamethrower and defend the life of your family, while stylishly nesting in a piece of architectural elitism.
My first thought was, “damn, that is impenetrable…. but then I really thought about it and ZOMBIES ALWAYS FIND A WAY IN. So this is probably just a big waste of money. Also, WHERE IS THE MOAT? Why didn’t you put in a moat? I’m really disappointed, Mr. Billionare.

They should replace the actual theme song with this version because I like it better.

I keep finding Dumbledore GIFs
I keep finding Dumbledore GIFs and I think it’s a sign I’m supposed to blog them. So yeah, here you go.
Germaphobes rejoice! You can now open bathroom doors with your feet.
Every once in a while I see an invention and all I think is, “HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT?!” This is one of those great moments.
Someone invented a foot handle to open up bathroom doors! The ToeOpener retails for $50 and, to me, that is $50 well spent. There’s nothing I hate more than bathroom doors. The thought of all the germs and poop particles grosses me out!
The good news is I can still invent a PEDAL to open the door, because a handle for your foot seems a little difficult, unless you have opposable big toes.

He lives in a trailer? ehhhhhh…. WHOA
<——– To keep updated with my blog, take a minute and like me on Facebook!
With the great response to my pirate ship bedroom blog, I searched the internet for an even more amazing bedroom and I found this guy’s trailer. You might be wondering, “A trailer? Really? How can that beat a pirate ship with a 2 story slide and drawbridge?” It just does!
Meet Matthew Hofmann. He lives in a trailer. Before you judge him, check out his trailer! It’s way nicer than anything you’ve probably lived in, myself included. It’s also eco-friendly and shiny!
“Many of my clients are in Santa Barbara, so after looking at some tiny yet still expensive condos and lofts, I purchased and remodeled a 1978, 25-foot Airstream trailer on a whim on Craigslist.”
“Material scraps from the Airstream, pictured above before the remodel, were sent to a recycling yard. That included hardware, braces, tracks, rods and plastic paneling. All of the old appliances and fixtures — refrigerator, oven, sink, toilet — were sold on Craigslist or donated. That extended the life of old materials and prevented them from heading to the landfill.”
My words: I think it’s great he made the trailer green. All environmentally conscious men get extra points!
“For the new dining area, I replaced the existing tabletop with Cali Bamboo natural strand bamboo while reusing the table posts. The old tabletop was reconditioned and used as shelving in the cabinetry. The dinette doubles as a guest bed.”
“By removing the table posts and lowering the top to seat level, it also converts to what I call a media lounge where I can play movies on my 27-inch iMac. The office printer is tucked into a custom-built pullout drawer under the bench. I sold my plasma TV, DVD player, audio receiver, seven-speaker surround sound, desktop PC, laptop computer, wireless home speaker system and portable radio.”
My words: I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think those beds look like they’d be very comfortable to sleep on (even when they’re extended) but I guess I can’t judge without trying it. But in reference to that media center… uhhhhh….WANT! That setup is amazing! If I won the lottery I’d spend a good $15k at the Apple store.
“The kitchen has a Moen stainless-steel sink with a Euro-modern 23-inch pull-out spray chrome faucet. New appliances include an Atwood Wedgewood three-burner propane stainless gas cooktop, Target countertop stainless-steel toaster oven and Norcold refrigerator.”
My words: Amazingly beautiful! I love the butcher block counters. The faucet seems a little over the top for a trailer, but hey… do your thing.
His words: “One of my favorite purchases was a Hafele Kessebohmer integrated pullout pantry system. Hafele also makes a very cool Moovit drawer box system and cutlery tray inserts. Those German designers know their driving machines and storage devices.
I’m 6-foot-4, so I designed a generous convertible bed using locally supplied, lightweight materials. I hired a seamstress to hand-sew Sunbrella indoor-outdoor fabric cushions from CushionsXpress. Underneath the bed is the original roll-up cabinets from Airstream. ArchiTech in-wall speakers sound like a high-fidelity surround-sound system.”
My words: Excuse me, The Germans? The Swedes have been doing it big in the storage department for years. Ikea, bro! :)
His words: “The bathroom was easily my greatest indulgence. Attractive, durable and sustainable custom-cut counter tops are by Custom Cali Natural Strand Bamboo. The shower was handcrafted with practical and pleasing curves using tiny glass tiles and a custom-built redwood shower pan. Water temperature and power are controlled through a Grohe Euphoria chrome fixture.
A14-inch glass vessel sink sits under a single-handle faucet. The room’s custom LED light has two-stage brightness, from ultra-low to high voltage. The towel bars, TP holder and other accessories were from the Grohe Essentials line. “
My words: That bathroom is gorgeous. I love the tiling. It does seem cramped, but I like that he took the curtain and glass off the shower so it makes it feel bigger.
And here’s the handsome that built everything. WHAT’D I TELL YOU? He’s a catch! If you have questions or want to see more of Matthew Hofmann’s designs visit his website http://www.hofarc.com/category/blog/ and read more about his time on the road.

I’m obsessed with…THIS PIRATE BEDROOM!
<——– Take a minute and *like* my page on Facebook! Thanks! :)
I think we can all agree this is the COOLEST. BEDROOM. EVER. It was designed for a 6-year old who was able to choose between a castle, racecar, pirate ship, or space ship. I have to admit I probably would’ve gone for a castle design, but this is still insanely awesome.
The home features a huge hidden slide that runs the height of the home’s staircase, and plops you into the coolest pirate bedroom ever featuring a pirate ship that floats above the bedroom, and a jail. Pretty sweet, right? Right.
In other news….. I’d like to throw a hail mary out there to the parents of this kid. WILL YOU ADOPT ME?
Here is the home’s mudroom. If you open up on of the lockers it reveals a hidden room with a slide entrance! If you go down it…
TA DAAAA! You have landed in the coolest bedroom ever.
This is the view of walking into the bedroom. The jail is on the right, as well as the ladder up to the drawbridge.
The rope bridge is connected to the top of the jail cell, built to accommodate evil doers, thieves and little sisters.
I love the detailing on the bottom of the bathroom floor. Hidden treasure! The room on the right is the closet. Sure, you can access it by walking in… but there’s also another way to access it!
Ta daaaaa!
Pretty cool, right? I think it’s great these people allow their kid to have such a cool experience. I wish I was that rich.
