Just because Apple’s Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) was created to prevent your precious Macbook Pro hard drive from becoming a $2500 paperweight, doesn’t mean hackers can’t have a little fun with it. In this video demo, a Honda bike is put through its paces using the laptop’s horizontal and vertacle axis receptors. It’s a fun gimmick, and some sweet graphics, but it’s no Wii. Also, we’re pretty sure the Hell’s Angels frown upon mobile computing.

“Hacked” furniture seems to be all the rage right now — there are even entire websites devoted to hacking together customized creations out of the endless rows of colored, angular Ikea furniture. It was only a matter of time before someone took it a step further, and that someone is Moebler, a small design group based out of Germany. Moebler specializes in seemingly “hacked” furniture, creating an interesting and artistic take on the mundane items like bookshelves that usually hide in a corner. For example, have a look at their King of Siam shelves.

Moebler has also taken to the big blue box themselves, creating a line of their own Ikea hacks. Their designs, however, are a little different than the others I’ve seen. Usually people are hacking their Ikea wares to make them function a little differently without changing the appearance too much. Moebler, on the other hand, puts their hacks out for everyone to see. I particularly like their take on a Lack table, which they call Greenwich Tea Time.

If you want to see LEGO models go acid and then make them to impress all your non-techy, too-cool-for-school friends, pick up a copy of Forbidden LEGO: Build the Models Your Parents Warned You Against by former LEGO Mindstorms employees Ulrik Pilegaard and Mike Dooley. Pilegaard was a senior designer and studio manager and Dooley was senior product manager at the LEGO arm responsible for the design of the consumer robotics kits, which unfortunately weren’t around yet when I was a youngin’ but hasn’t stopped me from checking out as an adult. Under their step-by-step tutelage, you’ll tap into your inner geek and construct a ping-pong launcher, a candy catapult, a high-voltage car and an insanely sick toy gun that shoots out LEGO plates (see the video of it in action here) — all from whatever LEGOs you can root out of storage and other material catching dust around the house. They also do a lot of encouraging on how to think out of the box and come up with other snazzy models good for terrorizing the family pet and siblings (and so what if you’re in your 20s?). Just don’t shoot your eye out.
