An Obama Action Figure...Or Something

obama-action-figure.jpg This is a president Barack Obama action figure. Or, if you want to get technical, a "1/6 Scale Truetype Body - African American Advanced TTM-15". OMG, I THINK HE'S A TERMINATOR. Kidding, that's the governor model. *zing!* Granted we've already seen an Obama action figure before, but apparently this is the $43 advanced model. Not unlike myself. It's true, God broke the mold after me. Also, fired all the elves responsible. You'll never work at the North Pole again! Product Site Thanks to rox and jimmy jazz, who used to switch the heads and torsos on all their G.I. Joes. That's cool, I used to douse mine in hair spray and set them on fire in the bathroom.

Pixelated Planks: Pac-Man Cutting Board

It is curiously appropriate that this Pac-Man cutting board is made in the tough, end-grain style. These boards are fashioned from wooden strips glued together with their grain running parallel, and the board itself is a cross-section cut from this master block.

This gives a great pixellated 8-bit style to the picture of Pac-Man, Blinky (or Clyde) and the power-pill in between them. End-grain boards are also self healing (like Pac-Man, kinda) as your knife doesn't cut the wood fibers but gently pushes them aside with every stroke, like the bristles of a brush. This keeps your knife sharper, longer – not really Pac-Man related, but still cool.

These particular boards are made by Etsy seller 1337motif, and are built from blocks of "walnut, hard-maple, and cherry put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue, and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax." An a-maze-ing rendering of the cutting-edge 1980 arcade game. Waka-waka-waka! $165.
