These “Sexy Robots” have been created by Michael. The bots, it appears, have nothing against a show of skin, or metal, or whatever sexy robots are made of.

There are times when you just can’t think of something worthy to say in a conversation. Before the conversation turns awkward with a whole lot of pauses and silence, you’d probably need something like the Conversacube to save the day. The device is a conversation aid that presents you with “helpful cues” to carry on with the conversation. We guess it is something like the magic ball for convesations.

Created by Hillel Cooperman, the Space Habitat Adams is well detailed. Cooperman gave this Lego creation its name after scifi author Douglas Adams. Details include the bottom level with its commerical units, retail units and station services. Several residential dot the upper layers, each with bunk beds, a food replicator, a desk with computer interface, and chairs and personal utilities that can retract into the walls. Also, the robots there kind of remind us of Wall-E.

A man in Japan has transformed his Suzuki Hayabusa into a Ferrari. And it’s not just any Ferrari, the brand new trike has been modeled to look like a Ferrari F1 car. You just can’t beat a good-ol’ Ferrari. Creator of this F1 Hayabusa Ferrari says that the people over at Ferrari contacted him, and said they had no problem with the fan vehicle, but added that the prancing horse won’t be so happy if he decided to go commercial with the trike. Another video after the jump.

It seems like we’re hot on the topic of environment today. We do like recycling and recycling something as sinister as weapons into usable furniture gets an applause from us by default. Sculptor Mati Karmin uses Russian AGSB-type sea mines found off the coast to create furniture like desks, fireplaces, lamps, toilets and the like. The job obviously isn’t an easy one, the results though, are amazing.

People in Madrid have the pleasure of playing Tetris on a freakin’ large screen, using their own bodies as controllers. It is a public art project/ video game put up by Lummo Blocks at the Plaza de Las Letras. Two players are required to tango at this game, both moving horizontally in front of the screen. One of these people controls the trajectory of the piece, while the other gets to handle the rotation.

Recycling/upcycling is a great idea, but when making lamps out of upcycled materials, the form and thought behind the design do overshadow the idea a bit. Thankfully, Swedish design collective Oddbirds have it all thought out. Their lamps are made from recycled, found or inherited tableware. The selection gives these lamps an old-world charm, plus a uniqueness. After all, it isn’t everyday that you come across lamps made from cups and plates.

There’s a lot of stuff we see everyday, but looking at things in a magification sure gives us an entirely different perspective. These images have been shot with powerful microscopes, with objects being maginified by as many as 22million times. All images have been taken from the book Microcosmos. Images from SEM (scanning electron micrographs) are generally gray in color, and other colors are added later using shades for reference.

Okay, we’ve already seen the snug-fit spray-on tees, but for those looking for something a bit more formal, the Pseudomorph dress would be a better outfit. Well, that is speaking the sci-fi futuristic kind of way, because the dresses don’t actually look ready for a day out. The pneumatic control valves in the neckpiece pump ink designs into the absorbent dress material, creating unique designs. The dress requires a 9V battery to function, and has been created by designer Anouk Wipprecht.

Illustrators Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones have created a set of images that show what future London may look like if effects of climate change go unchecked. The set goes on to imagine the city as a desert, showing Buckingham Palace Guard on camel back. Mostly however, the images dwell on two themes, of a city flooded with water, or a city that is a refugee camp for climate change migrants, converting it into something like a slum. The London Futures exhibition is on display at the Musuem of London.
