Serenade a Whale

Optus is a communication services company based out of Australia. For one of their ads, they wrote an orchestral piece for whales and had it performed live out on the ocean. Pretty amazing. Here's hoping a whale doesn't surface and spout next to one of those $45,000 violins. - Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice.

On the site, you can watch the video or use your keyboard to perform your own whale song.

From the bent mind of Maarten Bass. Somebody want to get us one of these for the StupidInternetTricks.com office? -Head Trickster

Shelves for Life

William Warren designed a bookcase. But it's not just any bookcase. It's a bookcase that can be dismantled and rebuilt as a coffin. Yeah, exactly. We think this guy may be reading too many dead poets. We're not sure we could use a bookshelf like that. Every time we looked at it we would think, "Any day now. Any day." -Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

UrbanScreen.com

These guys specialize in professional media installation on the surfaces of buildings. It's incredible. Here are a few samples of their work. -Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

Cybraphon

Meet Cybraphon - the autonomous emotional robot band. It's a computer controlled robot band, that place a specific style of music depending on it's mood. But here's the best part. It determines its mood by constantly doing vanity searches for itself online. If it finds itself mentioned online a lot, it's happy. If it can't find itself mentioned online as much, it's depressed. This reminds me of several bloggers I know. Maybe we could pitch in and get it for them for Christmas! -Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

Go Plate

Just in time for the holidays, we've discovered the product that will change your life as you know it. This is so obvious we can't believe it took this long to be invented. kind of like cup holders in cars. -Head Trickster

SanderMulder.com

Sander Mulder designed a clock. This very well might be the coolest clock you've ever seen. Limited edition and not to be found at Target, but you'd have a hard time wanting to watch anything else in your house if you had one. - Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice.

Style Your Garage

It's the age old question. How do I keep my neighbor from letting his dog crap on my lawn. How do I make sure he fears me at such a level that I never have any kind of trouble from him again? I have a solution. A tank in your garage. I know you're thinking, "I can't afford a tank!". You don't have to. Just style your garage, and your problems are solved. - Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice
