An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
Photo: ndevil I got my Dell Mini10V in the mail yesterday. It's small and red and pretty, but I had one minor issue with my order. When I was personalizing my order online, it asked me if I wanted a 24WHr 3-cell battery or a 56WhHr 6-cell battery; the 6-cell was just $35 more, but had double the lif... More.
Woman accidentally buys wrapping paper covered with swastikas
A woman in Florida bought a bunch of wrapping paper for Christmas at a dollar store and when she brought it home, she noticed that one of the rolls had swastikas on it. The manager of the store said the paper was made in China and he didn't know about the swastikas. Woman discovers swastika... More.
2012 Debunking: The Short-Attention-Span Version
Wow, it's apparently Debunking 2012 Day here on BoingBoing. I honestly had no idea that David had his Mark Dery post in the works. But it does segue nicely into what I had planned. The Information is Beautiful blog put together an infographic that explains--in a short and quick format---what the 2... More.
Do you understand my first-grade child's homework?
My six-year-old told me she doesn't understand her homework. After studying it for 15 minutes, I *think* I understand what she's supposed to do, but I'd like a second opinion.... More.

Here's a 20-minute, must-see lecture on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement -- the secret copyright treaty currently being negotiated, which stands to fatally wound all user-generated content sites from mailing lists to YouTube; which stands to criminalize kids for noncommercial file-sharing;...

i for one can not wait until i see this pop up in a gay porno.
this guys pwns me...
damascus steel and white gold rings...?
uh..drool for this guys shop.
Toolkit? Nay, this needs to be strapped to the back of some hulking post-apacalyptic warrior. FEEL MY FISTS OF FURY, he'd cry.
Cory, wait: you'd use this on an object or surface?!?
I mean, on a person, sure, but not an object. Think of the damage you'd do. (You'd bruise your knuckles.)
BTW, I experienced a bit of cardiac arrhythmia when I saw the ad for Sarah Palin's new book Going Rouge when I previewed and submitted my earlier comment. It was funny the title seemed to be spelled wrong, but that's our Sarah. Wait, I mean Yuck, get it off me!
Fortunately, I realized "her book", like the lady herself, is something else.
I think I'l go have a lie down now. Still not feeling well.
Love the sledge, and "Plant Rack" rocked!
I wonder if it would be crass to ape the sledgehammer or the plant rack in a DIY fashion.
It would feel cheap to mimic someone else's concepts, but they're so simple and awesome...
Oops! That actually wasn't meant to be a reply to any of the other comments. Oh well =p
Does it come in a right-fisted version?
I enjoy it as a piece of art, but I find equal or greater beauty in a well-made tool that will actually serve its intended purpose.
Nice metal work!
however, as someone who uses sledge hammers all the time for work,I'm not so convinced. Weight is a big consideration as well as the handle length ( a too long handle is no good), but mostly it would be such a shame to smash up such nice craftmanship.
As for attacking foes while being pulled on my war sled by polarbears? it's perfect!
Yeah, that falls below the belt for me. Once it's been Mass Produced and Amazoned to death, a DIY knockoff seems fine. But to knock off someone's artisan-work isn't something I want to do.
The only true two handed weapon!
Double the fist.
Looks like a fantasy weapon. A war hammer which will no doubt be copied en masse in cheap materials and adorn the walls of tacky shops that sell fantasy weapons, cheap samurai swords, bongs, leather goods and other dubious items.
It's the STARK FIST OF REMOVAL!
Yeah, either a fantasy weapon or maybe incorporated into an iconic political symbol for some dystopian SF flick...
Now if only someone would craft some railroad spikes with Glenn Beck's face on them, I'd be all set.

Why limit yourself? Fisting isn't just a gay activity.
So I've heard.
y, it's made of metal, at a size mr goatse might find challenging, prob more one for the s/m community. if it was made of silicone, that'd be more like it.
A friend once used lost-styrofoam casting to make a brass warhammer in the form of a hand holding a knife....
I would like to use this thing for some cool high speed photography of things getting crushed.
i'll take an eight pounder, in tool steel, with the peen side in the form of "the shocker." ahem.
Fist sledgehammer? Here's some prior art!
