I’m a sucker for these multiple-track videos. This guy is Nick McKaig, and he’s extremely good at reproducing soundtracks with his voice. Here’s the proof: The Simpsons‘ theme sung a capella. It’s sounds so good and wacky that I like it better than the original.
Remember back in February when The Simpsons made the long awaited switch to High Definition? And changed their opening credits for the first time in 20 years? Well, that episode is going to be aired on Channel 10 next week in all its glorious widescreen, standard definition glory. Wait… what?
A cruel, very talented man named Dean T. Fraser has decided that our Simpsons, Batman, Iron Man, Spiderman, Halo, and miscellaneous superheroes, supervillain, and sci-fi fetishes weren’t enough on their own, so he Simpsonised them all. Now, if anyone makes any of the characters in this amazing gallery out of Lego, I will spontaneously self-combust in a fiery ball of nerdgasmic lust.
Unlike certain other Fox properties, seeing the Simpsons continue to be milked for merchandising doesn’t fill me with quite so much rage, so these officially engraved iPods are cool for hardcore fans. But for the US$80 premium over standard price for an iPod classic, I’m more inclined to take the one I already have to our pal Phil and burn in a portrait of Mr. Burns saying “Have the Rolling Stones kiilled.” [Fox Online Shop via Slash Gear]
Spider-Pig! Spider-Pig! He’s made of folders, Spider-Pig is! Can you make him into bacon? No you can’t! He’s foldspider pig! Lookout! Here comes Spider-Pig! Today a reader sent us an ad illustration made out of Finder folders and document icons, which gave me an excuse for two things: 1) organise a desktop clutter art contest for Mac and PC users, and 2) get out my head the song that I’ve been humming all morning. Full high definition Spider-Pig “illustration” and instructions about how to do it right after the jump.
Staring into Mr. Burns’ desk when you’re making Skype calls with your friends is nice and all (and for a price of US$49 it’s hard to argue with it), but it’s no Futurama. What we’d really like is a Bender webcam, or a Fry webcam, or a Professor webcam, or a Robot Devil webcam, or a Scruffy webcam—pretty much anything from the Futurama universe. I guess what we’re trying to say is that Futurama rules and should not have been cancelled. [ThinkGeek via Random Good Stuff via DVice]

Unlike the television show, the Simpson’s official merchandise line usually sucks big time. This USB hub is no different; the six inches of plastic will spin around and yell, “Woo-hoo!” Everytime you plug in for some juice… every damn time. Fortunately, there is an option to turn off Homer’s spinning/yelling action, for the preservation of your sanity. However, chances are, if you just dropped $50 on this you have already lost your sanity. No USB hub in the land will save you from living out the rest of your life as Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene. You will of course not be as good looking, charming or funny and you’ll have an annoying USB hub. Tough break, kid. [Product Page via Uberreview] .
It’s just an AM/FM radio. It doesn’t go “Doh!” or “WooHoo!” or sing “Spiderpig, Spiderpig!”But somehow, this giant Homer head radio, almost a foot tall, is good enough to make me think about buying it.
