Blenders Used For Art, Not Science
12:00PM Wilson Rothman | The opening question in any serious empirical research is “Will it blend?” But here’s a German artist who felt that her art should begin with a slightly different question: “How will it blend?” More »

Lighters Will Blend, But Also Ultimately Pwn ‘Will It Blend’ Blender
7:30PM Elaine Chow | Will lighters blend? Yes, they will. And the explosive results, filmed in slo-mo, have finally warmed me up to this otherwise inscrutable internet meme. Good thing we didn’t try this at the Giz Gallery! [Kotaro269]

FYI: Blending a Charged iPhone Causes Explosions
8:40AM Adam Frucci | On Saturday at the Gizmodo Gallery, we blended a fully-functioning iPhone, sacrificing it to the gods of copy and paste. What we learned was that if you blend an iPhone with its battery inside, it explodes. Whoops! More »

Today at Giz Gallery: Live Gadget Blending at 3PM
2:22AM Brian Lam | It’s Saturday. The hung over day after our Giz Gallery reader meetup, which went on late into the night with some Pizza and Xbox on the 103 inch TV with Giz Alum Benny Goldman doing his best Biggie Smalls karaoke. (Uh, if anyone got photos of any of last night’s debauchery, could you email them to me? I forgot to take photos.) Chris and I are just finishing sweeping the floors and we’re ready to have more guests look at our wonderful and weird collection of gadgets. It’s all to help buy Toys for Tots. If you’re in NYC, you have to come down. If not to see the big TV and say hello, then at least to see our special events that are happening today and today only. More »

eCoupled Technology Powers Up a Blender Wirelessly
11:40AM Sean Fallon | Before you ask, yes it does blend—and it does it all wirelessly. This isn’t the first time we have heard about Fulton Innovation’s eCoupled intelligent wireless power system, but is the first time the technology has been demoed with a high powered device. eCoupling uses inductive coupling, which transfers energy from one device to another through a shared magnetic field. In this case, we see an eCoupled-enabled countertop pairing with a modified blender. More »

Yes, We Are Painfully Aware That Your Blenders Will Easily Pulp an iPhone 3G To Bits Thank You Very Much For Asking Again
8:02PM Brian Lam | The original iPhone with its metal back couldn’t survive the Blender’s assault, so what chance does this iPhone 3G’s plastic spine have? Zero. Then again, has anything ever failed to blend properly? I’d say these guys need a new shtick but we keep linking and you keep clicking so I guess I’m not actually as apathetic about the whole stunt as I feel at the moment..*watching*..Ok, that’s still cool.

The Petrol-Powered Blender with Handlebars, For Guys Totally Secure in Their Masculinity
6:30AM Adam Frucci | You’re a big man, and you’re so secure in your manhood that you’re not afraid to proclaim your manliness in everything that you do just so everyone knows that you’re a man. That’s why you’ll only make frozen mixed drinks with a blender powered by a 43cc 2-stroke engine that has handlebars for controls. That way, no one will think you’re some sort of sissy for drinking a pomegranate margarita. Because even the most manly of men enjoy a fruity frozen beverage with the boys on a hot summer’s day. It’s exactly the kind of thing you need to get some energy before going out in a roving pack and beating up people who are different from you. I’m a man! [Product Page via GearCrave] More »

Will The Wiimote Blend? (SPOILER ALERT: Yes.)
10:25PM Mark Wilson | We’re almost afraid to post this “Will It Blend” Wiimote edition video, as it’s sure to reignite the wildfire of giggling commenters who scan every post to be the first to drop that trademark line. Maybe, due to the comment publishing lag, we’ll even see two Will It Blends in a row, the ultimate Will It Blend faux pas. Three is not unheard of, but as we all know, whenever three douchebag comments hit at once we risk a black hole opening after the jump and sucking any scant intelligence not already lost to whippets and mobile phone tumors.
