The question we’re asking when it comes to the WiibratorLink, is not why or how, but what is taking so long? It’s not like people haven’t been waiting for something like this since before they were waiting for Mario Kart. (oioo.deo, via slashdong.org)

We’re big fans of the DIY ethic, mostly because whenever our bosses ask us to stay a little late and put in some extra work our response is usually, “Do it yourself!” But there’s a different kind of DIY that we’re also fans of, and it’s in the same style as the homemade self-sufficient photography that made MySpace famous. Photograph Uwe Ommer devoted a whole book to the self-shot naked portrait, helping his models to create nude photographs that they snapped on their own. Ommer obviously lent a helping hand with the setup and lighting, so the results are miles above the pouty-look-in-the-mirror snapshots that are a staple of social networking profile pics. But the concept remains the same—leave a beautiful girl alone with a camera and see what she can create. We don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, but it’s pretty hot.

Everyone knows that the difference between “erotica” and “porn” is the frequency of extreme closeups of a penis moving in and out of a vagina. But when you’re shooting your own personal amateur masterpiece at home (and without the help of Swedish authorities) how can you get that special balls-eye view to make your final product look as good as the professional kind? Here’s one solution: build your own homemade dildo cam! With a little glue, a few wires and some good old fashioned ingenuity, you can take viewers on a ride on that train as it enters the tunnel. (Note: Actually installing a camera in one’s scrotum is still best left to the pros.)

Are you familiar with that whole “steampunk” thing all the kidz are talking about? If so, congratulations—you’re a nerd! Fortunately, we love nerds around here and that’s why this video tickled (or maybe abused) our various bones. For the uninitiated, steampunk fans are into reading and writing about and even building old-timey technological contraptions that may not be as convenient or cheap (or useful) as your fancy modern doo-dads, but they sure look cool on a shelf in the den. (If you still don’t get it, read more Boing Boing.) Well, online nerd leader Merlin Mann has taken this aesthetic to its logical conclusion,with his own homemade steampunk onanism device, modeled after the “masturbatory sketchbook” of H.G. Wells (the “Leonardo Da Vinci” of jerking off). Yes, it’s expensive and heavy and very, very painful to use, but fapping with this will make you so totally punk! Steampunk that is! Dig the old world, “artis-anal” craftsmanship below.

A Polish man working in England who was caught in a compromising position with his vacuum cleaner, claims he was just vacuuming his underwear, which is “a common practice in Poland.” Of course, it is! How do you get potato chip crumbs out of your pants? (thesun.co.uk)
