Darth Vader Meditation Chamber Fireplace, the Force is Warm with This One

Posted on by

Darth Vader’s meditation chamber is where the Sith Lord goes to relax and chill for a while. Being a Sith is pretty stressful, you see. Your son didn’t follow in your footsteps and become evil like you, your boss the Emperor is always on your case via hologram, you recently lost the plans for the Death Star. He’s got 99 problems, but Admiral Motti isn’t one. Not anymore.

This conceptual Darth Vader meditation chamber fireplace could be a good way for you to unwind too. It was designed by Dave Delisle and can be opened and closed to adjust the room temperature or kept closed when not in use.

Not only is it geeky, it is actually a really great design. It is the perfect way for Dark Lords to meditate. Just don’t try and sit down inside of this one, Lord Vader. You already got burned once on Mustafar.

Pixel Fireplace Trades Warmth for a Word Game

Posted on by

We already posted a pixelated – and fake – fireplace, but if you want something that’s more interactive – but still fake – fireplace, check out Ted Martens’ program, Pixel Fireplace.

Aside from making the comforting crackle of burning logs, the program lets you manipulate and interact with the blocky fire by typing in word commands. In fact, you have to type word commands to start the fire in the first place. Sadly I don’t think it has a “someone to hold” command.

I bet someone’s already working on a Minecraft version of this. Pixel Fireplace is available for both Mac and PC. You can download a free demo or buy the full program for just $3 (USD) from Hex Ray Studios’ website; Mac users can also get it from the Mac App Store.

Fireplace Ugly Sweater Won’t Light Your Torso on Fire

Posted on by

Just how many ways can one guy use the video capabilities of his mobile devices to entertain us with? Well if you’re tinkerer Mark Rober, I guess the answer is “plenty.” After amusing us with his iPad Halloween costume and Gorilla Cam, Mark is back with another fun hack – the animated ugly sweater.

By mounting an iPad inside of a sweater rigged with a fake fireplace surround, Rober created the illusion of a warm holiday fire burning in the middle of his gut. Here, check it out in action:

You can grab the fireplace animation as part of Mark’s DigitalDudz Christmas iOS app. Be sure to keep an eye out on Mark’s youtube channel in the coming days for a video showing how to make your own ugly fireplace sweater.

Modern Log Holder

Posted on by

It’s hard to find a firewood rack that doesn’t have a rustic, craftsman aesthetic. Those with modern interiors usually end up improvising with a piece of furniture that wasn’t designed for this particular use. In pure white or black, the Fleimio Wood Trolley, however, has a robust yet sleek look that fits in perfectly with contemporary spaces. Oversized wheels make it easy to carry wood inside or move when space is needed.

Zelda Fireplace Art Will Warm Your Heart, But Not Your Body

Posted on by

Do you have a decorative fireplace? That’s the opposite of dangerous, but you still shouldn’t let it be alone. Equip it with the Zelda Fireplace Art, aka The Lazy Man’s Fireplace: set it and forget it. You don’t have to worry about it burning out or burning your house down.

The painting depicts the fire graphic from the Legend of Zelda game and can be ordered on canvas or wood.

You can order the Zelda Fireplace Art from James Bit Originals on Etsy. The list price is $110 (USD), but prices may still vary depending on the measurements of your fireplace. If you’d rather have something a bit cleverer – 8-bits cleverer to be exact – you can also try making a papier-mâché version of the graphic.
