"You Killed Kenny!" Doorstop
Instructables user BrittLiv made a doorstop that looks like the ever-dying, ever-resurrecting South Park character Kenny McCormick. The legs, boots, and pool of blood are made out of sugru, a moldable type of silicone. The rest is composed of a thin rubber mat, wood, and modeling clay.

Detailed Steve Jobs Figurine
Seen at Mic Gadget, this Steve Jobs figurine gets down to the detail and delivers an exceptionally well made sculpture of the famous Apple leader. It shows Steve in his old fashioned Jeans and Black Turtleneck, and he is even the midst of a MacWorld iPhone presentation.
The Jeans and Turtleneck look almost real with the color a tad faded. you can even see the wrinkles on Steve’s head. Good old Steve’s beard looks just as the real thing too.
Holding the iPhone in hand, standing on the Apple logo as platform and arriving with some great word baloons makes this Steve Jobs sculpture practically complete.
Each figure is handmade.

Michel Dines In Hell: A Halloween Project
So guys, get this. My friend Michel is one of the craziest people I know and I absolutely love him for it.
His latest insanity is a 65 day halloween costume project/challenge to transform his body from an unfit blob (98.5kgs) to lean and muscular 85kg one, to be able to pull off dressing up as King Leonidas on Halloween.
You see, he just absolutely adores the movie 300. He always has. He's watched it over 50 times, knows all the lines by heart and lives his life based on all that he could learn from that movie. What pushed him over the edge you say? Well, on his last birthday, which wasn't too long ago, he got a Spartan helmet as a gift and thats when he just went totally berserk!
He decided to BECOME Leonidas (or as close to him as possible) in time for Halloween.
The stuff he goes through is just CRAZY! He put his body through so much strain and pressure but he was determined to do it. He even had to go to the hospital a few times! And so, he started a blog called Michel Dines In Hell '10 where he blogs about his daily adventures, fitness, nutrition among other fun stuff.
Now, with only a few more days left to go, check out the results; body, beard, tan etc.
The determination, the will power. Its definitley awe-inspiring.
Awesome! Im so proud of him :D

8-Bit Costume
Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown made a Cool 8-bit costume for a Toshiba commercial. Called Gary. They cut the "large pixels" from sheets of high density foam and glued them to "an articulated cardboard suit structure". Kiel said:
"I think I cut around 4000 pixels. Not all used for Gary... we are building two more characters for a video project."

In defense of being over-critical...
Ok, so I'm often told that I can be over critical when it comes to design.
I just bumped into this article written by John Siracusa, entitled "Hypercritical". He mainly talks about the over-critical mind and Steve Jobs' amazing use of it. So in defense of over-criticism, here's the articles conclusion:
I just bumped into this article written by John Siracusa, entitled "Hypercritical". He mainly talks about the over-critical mind and Steve Jobs' amazing use of it. So in defense of over-criticism, here's the articles conclusion:
"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that criticism, for lack of a better word, is good. Criticism is right. Criticism works. Criticism clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit…
Okay, let me try that again. Actually, I'm on the same page as Gordon Gekko in one important respect. Like greed, criticism gets a bad rap, especially when it's presented in large doses. It's impolite. It's unnecessarily obsessive. It's just a bummer. But the truth is, precious little in life gets fixed in the absence of a good understanding of what's wrong with it to begin with.
This character flaw, this curse, this seemingly most useless of skills is actually the yin to the more widely recognized yang of creative talent. Is a preternatural ability to find fault enough on its own to make something great? Probably not, but it can help amplify mundane competencies and produce results well beyond what you could have achieved with your creative skills alone."
