The original Minimoog, first sold in the 1970s, revolutionized the way music was made. Before it came along, synthesizers were massive, complicated beasts that stayed tethered to studios. The Minimoog was portable, easy to use, and brought electronic music into the hands of any musician who dared to experiment. Suddenly, prog-rock, funk, jazz, and disco had a whole new palette of sounds to play with, and the world of music hasn't been the same since. This LEGO Minimoog pays tribute to that iconic machine.

The year is 2025. The political landscape, unpredictable. Your identity is your most valuable asset, so in order to protect it, you decide to take the identity of someone else. Sounds like the perfect setup for a dystopian sci-fi movie, and for the Become Anyone 2.0 Mask – a DIY project from Sean Hodgins.

The AirPods Max launched in 2020 – 5 years ago, and the only update we've seen in that time is a color-refresh and a shift to USB-C. Now sure, headphones aren't the kind of devices that need replacing every 2-3 years the way you would with smartphones, but I really think it's time for a Gen2 AirPods Max… because Apple's come a long way since 2020.

Pickups and SUVs often sit on opposite sides of the automotive spectrum, but the Ford Explorer Pickup concept sees no reason they can't coexist. Don't mistake this for a traditional truck with some SUV flavor tossed in; it's a well-balanced hybrid built for people who want the functionality of a rugged workhorse without losing the versatility or comfort of a modern SUV. By merging the off-road capability of a 4×4 with the iconic refinement of the Explorer SUV, this concept carves out its own niche, appealing to adventurers and everyday drivers alike.

This CD player has my heart because it combines the two tech trends I'm absolutely on board with – transparency and retro-revival.

I say this every year because it deserves to be said – buying a good case for your flagship phone is just like buying insurance for your car.

The Grammys are exactly a week away, and the air is already buzzing with anticipation. Whether you're rooting for Charli XCX's Brat winning Album of the Year or cringing at the idea of Espresso winning the Best Song because it was plastered all across social media, the Grammy statuette—arguably one of the most iconic trophies in music history—will soon take center stage. Shaped like a vintage gramophone, this gleaming golden award has been synonymous with excellence in music since its debut in 1959. Now, thanks to LEGO enthusiast _ironman, this piece of music history has been reimagined in an entirely new way: as a LEGO set.

The one word you usually associate with a library is ‘quiet', but step into this library and you're greeted with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a DJ booth with a massive sound system. Designed almost as if libraries met counterculture, this is the ‘Nude Library' – a streetwear store in Barcelona, Spain.

For a hot minute, gray was everywhere . Not just a little bit here and there—gray dominated. Gray walls, gray furniture, gray kitchen cabinets, gray exteriors. It was the unofficial uniform of home design in the 2010s, with its cold yet “modern” vibe signaling minimalism, sophistication, and, well, the ability to stage a house for resale.

Microbrands in the watch world often capture attention by blending accessibility, quality, and striking designs. Montoir, a Chicago-based brand with Swiss-made credentials, entered the scene in late 2023 with its first dive watch. It was a standout debut—a stylish, robust timepiece with a Sellita automatic movement and serious 200m water resistance. Now, Montoir is back with the MWMOD-01 V2 Dive Watch, offering the same successful formula with an exciting twist: bold new colors.
