    Outside of celebrity endorsers, why is it that the talent in TV commercials don't ever have real names? Actually, they do. Well, the hot, girl ones at least.

    Thanks to the hot-girl know-it-alls at Who Is That Hot Ad Girl, you'll never have to go to sleep at night wondering who just rocked your world in that Miller Lite commercial (it was the man thong, wasn't it?).

  • Awesome Just Got Easy-er

    Let's face it, as awesome as awesome is, using the word awesome to describe everything awesome is less than awesome.

    Apparently, Matt Richardson from Make Magazine feels the same way because he went and did surgery on a Staples 'Easy' button and created an Awesome botton that awesomely spits out synonyms for the world's most overused descriptive word.

    In a word, it is.... wonderful.

    How epic is the start of professional baseball? As epic as Brian Wilson's beard?

  • The Hug Chair

    Thanks to the Hug Chair by Ilian Milinov, the world finally has an attractive piece of furniture that promotes public displays of affection AND increased circulation to your extremities. We've been looking for something like this since middle school.

    With its simple bi-level, wrap-around design, young lovers can stare longingly into each other's eyes for hours on end without having to stand up every 15 minutes to stretch their legs.

    It's also great for casual laptopping and parents with reservations about plopping their children directly onto the lap of a strange bearded man during the holidays.

    Very nice use of kinetic typography and motion graphics set to Conan O'Brien's farewell speech on The Tonight Show, and even better use of student talent.
