Some Xbox 360 mods are the product of serious craftsmanship, some are rather silly, and some — like this Suzuki automobile console / Xbox 360 game console hybrid — really give one pause. This isn’t the sort of thing that one spends moments / hours / weeks on, after which he reflects for a moment (“Aren’t I rather clever?”), and then hides it safely in the closet (or sells it on eBay). No, this is an automobile. We’re guessing that the slight cringe of embarrassment he’s going to feel when picking up his date for the cotillion will be outweighed by the safety and security he feels knowing that he can always play Super Smash Bros. Brawl — even on the road. According to the photo’s description on Flickr, this car features not one but two Xbox 360s, two projectors, and two flat screens. The game controllers are availabe at a moment’s notice — including one in the steering wheel, one in front of the gear shifter — and one of the 360s is set in the dashboard. Oy vey.

Eh. Lawls.
Forward-minded people tend to sit at the front of the top deck, according to Dr Tom Fawcett of Salford University, the independent-minded in the middle and those with a rebellious streak at the rear.

Yep – sounds about right.
Sometimes modern design and minimalism go a little too far and it’s hard to figure out exactly what the products are. We’ve tracked down 19 products that look quite cool but leave you wondering wtf?

Some of my faves:
Phillippe Starck Veiled Watch
If I wore a watch, this is the watch I’d be wearing.
Transformer Shelves
If I had the need for some new shelves, these would be the shelves of choice.
Fuksas Mocha Cups
Just like those funky cups they use at Max Brenner Chocolate in Melbourne, these would be some seriously awesome cups to have.
xkcd – A Webcomic – Converting to Metric.
Heh, I don’t really understand the Summer Glau references. Sure, she’s in The Unit, but apart from that, she’s fairly average.
Oh, and you Americans and Brits? Metric, please.
Well, I figured there was something wrong when my website was taking over a full minute to load.
I used Safari’s Web Inspector to narrow it down to one file: load.php
Now, that file is a part of DoYouFeed.com’s wordpress plugin.
For the uninitiated, the DoYouFeed plugin allows wordpress users to activate a iPhone/iPod Touch friendly version of their website – using specialised User Agent calls and so forth.
Unfortunately, the plugin was making my site lag like hell – freshbytes, too – so I have disabled it for now.
If anyone knows any wordpress-friendly iPhone/iPod Touch friendly content formatters/aggregators, then get in touch with me, either via comments on this post, or the Contact page.
Ideally, I’d like something like the tumblr-optimised iPhone/iPod Touch specific version, ala Adam D’s tumblelog in iPhone format. That’s seriously ultimate.
