MAKE: Skittles-Pixels

Where most people see candy Matt McManis saw a new medium for art. So can you. They only cost a buck a bag. Fun, right?

GET: The Big Books

Nothing’s funner than getting someone the perfect gift. Still shopping for me? Either of these will do. The Big Butt Book has over 400 prime examples. The Big Book Of Legs pretty much does for legs what The Big Butt Book did for derrieres.

WATCH: Poximity Flying Over NYC

Remote Controlled Plane + Camera + NYC = Fun. Check out the whole collection after the jump.

LOOK: Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things

It’s a fact: Looking at things is fun but looking at Kim Jong-Il look is funner.

GET: Nice Jewish Guy Calendar


Not models. Jewish guys. Real ones. This calendar makes the perfect Christmass gift for the Jewish guy lover in your life. Yup.

Thanks to the lovely Kristina – a Jewish guy lover herself – for pointing this out.

GET: Pummelvision

30 seconds is all it takes. Log-in with your Facebook and Pummel pulls the photos, sets ‘em to music, and uploads them to your YouTube or Vimeo. Fun, right?

PLAY: Kids Vs Icecream

Its your basic shooter. Plus ice cream. And kids. Had me entertined for a minute or five. Click the pic to make the jump.

WATCH: Phineas and Ferb SIMP

Wait, seriously, you don’t know Phineas and Ferb? It’s just about the funnest show on TV. Watch the video twice – that should just about be enough to get it caught in your head – then check local listings for time and place (it’s on Disney channel every few minutes). After that, read the WIRED story of how the show came to be and get inspired by how many people said no before Disney finally said yes. It’s good stuff. Really.

QUICK: What Do You Appreciate?

Take a second to reflect on what you appreciate most… then post a line or two the list at appreciate-it.com. It’s a good way to start your week. Also, they’re looking to set a Guinness World Record (for the longest, most sentmentalist holiday letter of all time?). Fun, right?

I appreciate Mark C for sending this in.

MAKE: Star Trek Doors

I know you think it’s nerdy. So did I. Then I watched it and the gears started turning. Fast. I need this. We all do. I never realized how sexy that hissing sound is. Instructables has the full how-to after the jump.
