Say Hello to the Flatfish of Clocks

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The principle behind modernism in the arts can be thought of as stripping the subject to its most simple form, which is often abstract. Modern art transformed subjects like people and landscapes into basic shapes and figures; squares, triangles, points, and lines. This simple clock design is the perfect example of the modernist ethic embodied in a functional object. The Front & Back clock designed by Giha Woo shows how different elements can be combined to minimalize the parts needed in the design. In this case, it is the batteries – normally found on the back of the clock – that have grown unsatisfied with their lot in life. Instead of batteries and hands on the face of the clock being separate pieces, the batteries serve as the hands of this clock. It's interesting to see the mechanism powering the clock actually serving as the "moving parts"; the back and front are literally combined as one, invoking the image of a flatfish whose eyes lie on the same side of its head. White is often the color of choice for minimalistic designs, possibly because it invokes the feeling of clean simplicity and open space. I think the color suits the Front & Back clock fantastically, though I'd probably want to use extremely colorful batteries with it. Besides the battery aspect, the design is further simplified through the removal of the lines and numbers normally found on analog clocks. Since the clock is essentially made up of a circular panel nestled inside another circle, both faces are constantly in motion. Thus, lines and numbers would be impossible to display without additional components – and then it would no longer be a super-minimalistic clock! While the Front & Back is a beautifully minimalistic design, I'm a bit old-fashioned when it comes to my wall clocks. Personally, I find it hard to instantly tell the time without the little lines – even the lack of numbers can give me a hard time. However, I just use my cellphone to check the time anyway, so I've never needed a wall clock. We've featured some other interesting clock designs, from the Fancy Wall Clock made from Vinyl to the Knitting Clock Design. Via: Walyou

CardSharp Pocketknife Fits Perfectly in Your Wallet

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The size of the world is shrinking and so is the size of its products. The smaller the product the better it is. CardSharp, the new utility pocket knife from Iain Sinclair is perfect proof of this. It comes in a shape never seen before for a knife. From the design house of Iain Sinclair comes a brand new design of a pocket knife that does everything that any other knife could do. Three simple folds and Presto! This credit card suddenly turns into a multi-utility pocket knife. It is small, slim and lightweight but its efficiency cannot be doubted even one bit. The razor sharp blade has an extra long cutting edge of 65mm ensured with a longer lasting sharpness. Rust free stainless steel of the highest quality has been used for this superb blade which comes in two color choices of Teflon Black and Natural Brushed Stainless Steel. The carefully encased blade makes sure that the blade efficiency is not affected due to unnecessary rubbing (when carried along in a bag or pocket it is bound to rub against other objects). This also helps avoid accidents that can be caused due to an open blade. The folds, both when open and closed, are perfectly secured. It neither opens nor folds accidentally. The firmly locked hilt and sheath guarantee absolute precision in every task it is put to. The CardSharp can be put to whatever use the user wishes to. It is like carrying a whole set of knives in ones pocket. It can be used for any purpose ranging from camping requirements to medical uses to craft projects. You can use it over and over again without having to worry about the sheath losing its sharpness. Two versions of this multi utility knife are available with one clear body option that displays the blade on both sides of the card. This can make it clearly identifiable as a knife when wanting to be clear about legal matters. Added positive features of the CardSharp include its capacity of being waterproof and eco-friendly. The manufacturers claim that its two ‘part construction’ and ‘automated assembly’ helps save manufacturing waste. Moreover, the fact that it is extra light and flat saves on carbon footprint use. CardSharp is a part of the credit card sized design series from Iain Sinclair. Other wonder products in this series contain a flashlight, an HD camera and a 3D camera. It won’t be long before we start carrying our world in our pockets. Very rightly put across, it is an incredible device. There are other amazing kitchen gadgets that you can take a look at – Shark Knife, Meeting Knives and Pizza Cutters. Via: Iain Sinclair

iStuck Bubble Gum Phone Stand Mimics a Disaster

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

There are few scenarios that are quite as immediately irritating as getting gum stuck to a personal article. You know how it goes, you're walking down the street on a hot summer day when suddenly your stride is broken by your shoes suddenly deciding to adhere to the pavement. It can be a huge pain trying to pick all of the sticky toasted gum off just about any object I can think of. Getting gum stuck to your smartphone would be even worse, as it could be potentially damaging to your expensive electronics and besides, who wants to pick up a phone with old gum stuck to it? One clever manufacturer took that immediate feeling of disgust and managed to make this istuck phone stand. As you can see, the stiffened rubberized phone stand looks exactly like someone stuck a giant wad of gum to your phone. I think it would be cute to pair together with another phone that sounds like a sweet treat like the LG Chocolate. It would also make a great office prop as any newcomer to your desk is sure to make them do a double take and say "Is your phone ok?" Finally, it puts the phone at the perfect angle to actually watch all that Media stuff that everyone always makes such a to-do about. Maybe you will finally watch a movie on your phone like in the commercials. Or not, but either way at a price of $5.99 the cost of entertainment is incredibly low. Let's say, for a moment, that you would prefer to have your phone stand not look like someone stuck a gross wad of gum to it. Instead, you might consider letting Hello Kitty do that job for you with this Sanrio Character Cubic Cushion Cellphone Stand. You could also shoot for something a little more simplistic with this iPhone case that has an integrated kickstand. That's a lot of bang for your buck.

Shaped like some cute pet we could only wish to own, this 3D webcam is made with two separate video cameras able to record video at 800x600 resolution with 15 frames per second. It hangs on your monitor with its arms and legs, and plugs straight to your USB, so no difficult connection needs to be found. By the use of the two separate cameras, it records two slightly different angles and then pastes them together to make 3D video as seen in those fun 3D animated films. Your next question is probably: 'Don't we need those special glasses?'. The answer is yes, but with each one of these cameras, 5 pairs of the special 3D glasses are provided.

Animated Remote Control Dog DIY

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:59:53 +0000

This is one of the greatest remote controlled dogs I have ever seen with all its different colors and also the ability to be shaped and structured in different ways tailored to meet your personality with all the love and affection a girl could wish for. There is something about puppies that makes you love them no matter how ugly they are, and this RC dog could be the ugliest or cutest based on the way you build it. It comes with a graphic manual that allows anyone (even children) to build its own remote controlled pet in different ways, shapes and cuteness. With the different mechanisms installed, you may not be able to teach this dog tricks to do by itself, but it could roll, move and still react to your touch...on the remote control. Oh yes, and it is definitely as cute as the Pink Gundam Robot we previously seen. For only $49.95, it could be a great pet without too much hassle of cleaning up, feeding or taking care of.

Bag a TV: BagTV is Just that and More

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:19:03 +0000

This is definitely ALL we Women need. They say all women have everything they ever need neatly tucked away in their handbags, and mind you the bags do not have to be large, they can be the tiniest and cutest of bags and still have lots of useful stuff in them such as a TV set!

Quattro 6000D is a Sewing Machine Monster

admin — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:59:27 +0000

It looks awesome, doesn't it? Well, for a sewing machine, it definitely does, I'd say. If you love to stitch, you would know how frustrating it is to struggle to adjust, stitch and create something beautiful, just cos of the lack of accuracy in our primitive sewing machines. And how many times would you have prayed that it had one more feature that could make you job much simpler. All your prayers will be answered by the Quattro 6000D, which is yet to be launched. Though the name sounds very futuristic and probably fake, the machine itself is very real. You can get everyone from young kids to oldies to stitch using the Quattro 6000D, owing to its 'InnovEye' and 'Up-Close Viewer'. So young kids can be trained to be creative and the elders can spend their leisure time stitching stuff for babies. Get a load of that awesome bird's eye view on the 4.5 x 7-inch Sharp HD LCD display above. The only drawback might be that it is quite huge for a new age machine, but then when you get to plug in all you fancy flash drives into it and get a bird's eye view of your cloth being designed, would you really mind that?

Peacekeeper Designer Bag is Chic and Armored!

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:56:12 +0000

We see all forms of media talking about women empowerment, but our male-chauvinistic world is yet to become a safer place for women. You can't always have a boyfriend around to save you from eve-teasers, so carrying a pepper-spray has been a trend for quite sometime now. An ace designer, James Piatt has hatched chic red bag that carries a weapon too. Not a gun or sword, but something strong enough to smack someone's head. It is the polyurethane handle I am talking about. It goes without saying the red color adds to its haute appeal. Its priced at $85 but anything that makes you feel safe and secure is worth it.

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:57:24 +0000

It doesn't really matter what people say about the use of a watch now-a-days. Most people say they are out of use now, since technology has brought us numerous gadgets that put a watch to little use. It once was a gadget of important use, now it has become an accessory in fashion. Whatever be the use, ladies watches are always in, especially cos we want to match it with our clothes, our bags and our shoes. And also cos of the fact that we love colors! Traser caters to the taste buds of ladies who love to use watches in different colors, but here is the thing, not only do they give us a choice in colors, they have added a xing to it. After you have chosen your favorite color, take a closer look of this unique ladies watch. Traser watches now come with unique radio luminescence, with trigalight technology that uses the electrons of the tritium gas sealed airtight, to create permanent luminescence. Using this technology, the watch lights up much more brighter than any of the older versions of the same. They also give us a guarantee these watches lasting for ten years, and for all that duration having the same intensity of illumination. Here is a picture of the watch showing its illumination at work. The thing is, though several new gadgets based on amazing new technologies keep coming up, i think watches will always have their unique place and never go out of style owing to their simplicity. Now who would wanna dig the handbag, or jeans pockets to tell time, when a simple wrist watch does it in split seconds, during the day or at night. Via : Geniusbeauty

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:15:52 +0000

It's like every woman's wish come true. Hope you have figured it out from the title that these are not shoes we are talking about, these are umbrellas designed for our sandals and shoes. Most ladies have a shoe fetish (apart from others ;) ) and we do end up having several pairs for footwear. Getting out pretty shoes and sandals wet in the rain can be a nightmare, especially when you wear your best pair of leather shoes and there is that shower of untimely rain. Well, ladies we do not need to fret anymore. Shuellas are the best thing that could happen to us. They come with a carry pouch and a towel, so you can always carry them handy in your bag. And they are equipped with slip free PVC soles so that your heels don't hurt them, and velcro makes them easy to use. Notice how they cover half the legs? which makes our pants also slush free.

Brando never fails to amaze me. The king of USB gadgets has been churning the mills to roll out class-apart stuff every time. On on its face, it just seems as a brilliant piece of crystal jewelry.

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:14:20 +0000

Call it sheer co-incidence or over-crowding, every fifth gadget I come across has its connection with Apple. The hyper-hyped iPhone had shadowed iPods for quite some time, but the mighty music players are back in action again witha fancy purse like iPod boombox. After almost two years, iLive has come up with a different version of its signature product, the Boombox Dock for iPod. The purse-like design does speak about its inclination towards the fairer sex. The design embodies more of curves and color options and looks pretty neat with an iPod seated in the middle. Apart from all generations of iPod, it can music from any other external music source as well, thanks to its AUX jack. Other features include AM/FM tuner and Radio IB109P. It retails for as much as $30. If you would rather have a cool design IN your home, check out the beautiful iPod Alarm Clock Dock. Via HardwareSphere

Easy Quick Jumper: Goodbye To Car Battery Hassles!

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:46:17 +0000

The last time I tried jump starting my car, I nearly blew up the battery. It had its positives though! My laziness took more prominence than logic and I vowed to never indulge in such misadventures again. Clearly, the joy of being tended to in this aspect is short-lived. In comes the Easy Quick Jumper and out flies the superficial apprehension. With this cigarette adapter jumper, loose jumper cables and the ensuing explosion will be a thing of the past. The hood can stay shut and the common risks of jump starting a car the traditional way are now eliminated. You can conveniently forget the ‘reds’ and the ‘blacks’, since you just need to plug the two ends of the Easy Quick Jumper to the cigarette adapters of each car and switch on the functional engine for about 5-10 minutes. The Easy Quick Jumper turns a risky (if insensibly done), cumbersome procedure into a two minute ‘plug in and crank up’ job. Dump your jumper cables at home, as this handy cigarette adapter jumper is available for just $26. And if you’re still looking for more, try the Self Charge Auto Jumper that costs around $45. In the case of the latter, you wouldn’t need a second car, either! Finally, something to cheer about for hassled car owners. Vat19 Via: Walyou

Juicy Couture Pink USB Computer Keyboard

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 23:47:50 +0000

Juicy Couture did make big news for their infamous sweatpants that had names written across the ass area. This has left many craving for more. But suprisingly they stepped into the geeky world of mean machines which already has many players with its pink USB keyboard. I am sure the makers in no way have any inferiority complex. Coming to the bubble-gum pink keyboard, it has got some really cool features. It's made of silicone which allows you to just fold it and stash it in your backpack. Juicy has stuck to its old English lettering for the keys and supports both Mac and PC, so no issues in the compatibility department. $45 is way too much for a keyboard, but interesting things do come with a price.

Dyson Conceptual Gadget Bracelet: Power on the go!

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 23:47:58 +0000

Women like to keep things stylish, but that does not necessarily mean we wear a blindfold when it comes to utility. Dyson Energy Concept Gadget Design is probably on similar lines. The bracelet design has a lot on the technological front as well. It seeks to make sure that your lifeblood meaning your phone is never out of charge, at least in situations when you need it the most. It's based on the Seebeck effect, wherein the temperature variance between the skin surface and ambient air produces a voltage difference between the two substances. The energy is then captured for future use in an internal Li-Po battery pack. A micro-USB port on the bracelet will help you connect your phone and energize it. If this concept ever hits production, its going to shadow the concept of travel chargers. Via Coated

High or Low Adjustable Heel Shoes

The Solar powered tote bag, the Quattro 6000D sewing machine, the Bagtv handbag and the umbrellas for your shoes - Shuellas, all of which make our life so much more easier.

As i was saying, after all of these that make our life simpler, here is one more perfect addition to the same. Designer Natalie Cosette Thorne has come up with these wonder shoes that have adjustable heels, that can be adjusted from about 4 to 10 cm in height. Amazing it is!

Now you can definitely do something about that, by using these wonder shoes, which are extremely comfortable according to the designer and work based on a regular magnet fastener system and a set of uppers, you can certainly wear them to work and to a party later in the day. It is also being called the transformer shoe, since it reconstructs itself in style! Looks like all our prayers are being answered just in time. Just take a look... Via: Geniusbeauty

As I bumped into this image, the first half looked with rings looked pretty normal to me. As when I rolled my mouse to have a complete look, I had my eyes rolling. A Dress made up on colorful condoms. It's definitely an eye-candy and the makers claim it can lure attention from all sides. The Safe Sex dress kind of symbolic to 'Anti-AIDS' campaign in Africa. The makers hope that girls donning this dress will insist on using a condom since they have it in abundance. Hilarious! Via Joe-ks.com

Hello Kitty Camera Gives Adorable Memories!

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:01:33 +0000

Hello Kitty is never out of the trend scenario. We girls are easy victims for anything that is pretty and pink, which is why I just couldn't miss this Betty's Attic Hello Kitty Pink camera.

It will render 4"x6" photos in colorful Hello Kitty scenes. It comes with 12 different images and a built-in flash. Its priced at $14 but the retailers offer a discounted price of $13 if two are bought at the same time.

Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds Barbie Doll

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:01:44 +0000

Anyone who has watched Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller The Birds will never ever forget the scary tale of a small town in San Francisco Bay where beautiful young Melanie and many others are attacked by innumerable birds. Well, die-hard fans of Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense films and Barbie dolls will really rejoice to see this Alfred Hitchcock The Birds Barbie doll. This one is truly a good gift and collectible item.

This is true celebration of innocence and refined taste. The doll with three real fake birds is 11 ½ inches tall and comes for $24.90. And those who have not yet seen the movie this Barbie doll will give a reason to dig out and watch Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. The movie is scarier than Barbie’s expression here. One only hopes that the nightmarish film won’t make one hide The Birds Barbie Doll forever! And if the film indeed scares you then trust Barbie to soothe your nerves too. You can try listening to some music on the Barbie MP3 Player.

Pink Computer Keyboard Can Woo Blondes

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:05:12 +0000

Pink is definitely an integral part of a girl's like, much like a basic necessity. I am really amazed that how one color has influenced choices for women all over the world. We earlier bought the Pink USB keyboard in translucent pink color and here is another one, not from the same makers though. The plastic pink color could be a problem when you think of teaming it up with the rest of your computer peripherals. Otherwise, at the first sight it can excite any girl for that matter. $50 is yet too much for a plain functional keyboard, but the makers are probably charging a premium for the opportunity that ships with this keyboard-wooing a Blond! Since blondes are considered to be a bunch of idiots, its expected that they'll fall for anything that is just plain simple pink, with or without any utility. Its keys read out some interesting stuff like Enter key says “Yes! I Want It” while Back Space is marked “Oops!”, “Way Up” and “Way Down” stands for Page Up and Page Down as “NO!” is for Esc. From the image, I can see " the big one" printed on the space bar key. Need I say anything further ?!

Strikingly Beautiful Bulb Design: Birdlight

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:41:55 +0000

There are always some designs that sweep you off your feet and crumble your vocabulary into pieces. That is exactly what happened to me when I first laid my eyes on Birdlight. A stupendous artisitic light ornament that can enfeeble the presence of anything else in your decor. Such is the beauty of its bird chassis, that it even compliments even the plain boring walls around it. The sprawling wings and the bulgy centre to house a tungsten bulb looks exceptionally brilliant. Chen and Karlsson are seeling this through the Swedish design store Designtorget. No word on the price, but I am sure people who want to hatch this, will trade anything in their closet to get it home.

The 120-Zipper Dress Design: Are you game for it?

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:05:18 +0000

After having seen this dress, raunchy thoughts might just run through your mind. Have no worries, this is a common chemical reaction in one's brain and it was intended by the maker too. Well, even the word stunning would fail to do justice to this 120-zipper dress. The folks at Geekolgie suggest that the actually number of zippers is definitely not what the name suggest, probably it is just to garner attention. Its something that looks as subtle and formal as office-wear when zipped completely, but when you begin the task of unzipping selectively, you' realize how dangerous the dress can get. The only thing you need to experiment with different possibilities is a curvy body and the dress will take care of everything. The best part is it lets you highlight or draw attention to places you want. A word of caution though, you got to use this dress with discretion. Sebastian Errazuriz is the designer behind this and can expect a lot of appreciation flowing in both from males ( who intend seeing their chicks in this ) and females ( who want to conspire against the guy she had a crush on).

Hello Kitty PEZ Candy Set

admin — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:14:14 +0000

It looks as if Hello Kitty is the flavor of the season. Every second thing I bump into has the smiling pink kitty on it and I just can't ignore it. We earlier brought the Hello Kitty Camera which is cute as a button, and now it's the PEZ Set. PEZ initially started with mint candies aimed at adult smokers to hide the post-smoking bad breath, but the company has branched out into fruit-flavored candies and PEZ dispensers with character heads. So obviously you could expect many coming forth and trying new possibilities with the PEZ heads. Seems like Sanrio wanted its cat to be a part of the league too. The Pink Sanrio metal tote fits 4 dispensers of different colors and cute kitty heads. It has 6 rolls of candy and a candy bracelet too. It is recommended for children in the age group of 3 and above and available from Betty's Attic for a price of $15.

HP Mini 110 Netbook now available in Pink and White with additional features

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:48:40 +0000

The new HP Mini 110 Netbook, which comes with Windows XP as the operating system is now available in pink and white, which makes it more eligible to be chosen by the ladies. Though one has to make a note, that with the exception of the choices in color, there is nothing else that makes it a netbook to be preferred by us except the Women Laptop Designs we seen before. The HP Mini 110 is an upgrade to the HP Mini 1000 netbook, and the features that have been upgraded are the Hard Drive and a Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced video accelerator, that has been added to it. The catch is like some of those branded netbooks and notebooks out there, the ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre software has to be used to take advance of the video enhancer. Unfortunately, there are no other upgrades, just that, the net HP Mini 110 netbook has gained weight and size, in comparison to the older version, but also has enhanced the looks by blending the battery more into the netbook. Just like any other notebook, or netbook enhancement add-ons are available at addtional cost. Although the standard black version costs $330, only a change of look does not guarantee increase in popularity with the ladies for this netbook, there has to be that additional magic, what say?

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:40:42 +0000

The Pixel LED Keyboard is an amazingly colorful computer keyboard that has so many bright colors shining at you as you sit in front of your computer. It is a great change from dull and monotone keyboards we usually see, and although the Pink keyboard would make girls happy...this one could easily keep them occupied with excitement. The Pixel LED computer keyboard consists of 430 LEDs which allows for each to light up individually to provide the color of your choice. There are other colorful features as a rainbow keyboard display or keys lighting up when pressed. Moreover, you can create your own custom skins for the kyboard to be used during specific games or actions. If you wanted more color choice, the Luxeed keyboard comes in either black or white. The white version also has a semi-transparent look and light up brighter while the black keyboard's style allows letters to light up alone. So many colors, so many choice...it is hard to make a decision. Either way, the Luxeed keyboards cost $149.99 at ThinkGeek.com. [gallery]

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:05:36 +0000

Nails are definitely are an important of one's personal hygiene, as we tend to use a lot of hand gestures while talking, which is why hands are noticed and eventually the nails too.

The Nail Clipper Manicure Cutter with Magnifier is a perfect manicure equipment for hygiene freaks like me. The makers have set their product apart from other bunch of nail-clippers by providing a magnifier. The magnifying class fetches you a enlarged view of nail and cuticle area for a perfect trim.

The Sony VAIO Laptops with Crocodile Skin

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:05:44 +0000

It's all about how it makes you feel...and especially with these Crocodile Skin sony Laptops, it just makes a lot of sense and fashion for many Women!

Sony VAIO laptops have always been slightly over rated if I may say so, being a Vaio owner myself, but there is something about the brand that makes you feel good. My Sony Vaio Notebook is a simple black laptop, which to me looks like a large black biscuit, if only it came in chocolate I would have eaten it all up.

Guys out there make a huge fuss about women and gadgets but believe me girls if there is any gadget which suits the women folk, it's laptops. Now for all you fashion fans out there, Sony Vaio brings you laptops with Crocodile skin in three colors! It gives you that look and feel of leather which though most of us do not admit, we do like.

It may not be as innovative as the HP Laptop Designs for Women we seen before, but this one isn't a concept but a true product.

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:07:53 +0000

Hello Kitty is taking the world by storm for quite a while now, and as cute as these Lunchbox designs are, they are not going away even though such modern and innovative creations are offered left and right. These two cool Hello Kitty Lunchboxes grant any girl a cool way to carry their lunch in or even personal accessories instead of the much overused purse. In one design, Hello Kitty has adapted to the Geek world by claiming that Hello Kitty loves Nerds. Even when Kitty calls out nerds, you cannot help but think it is just adorable. In teh second design, Hello Kitty makes an appearance as we are already familiar with...an innocent, fun loving kitty. Each of these are only $12.99, which could easily beat the price of a regular fashion purse with a brand name. If you are way too geeky for lunchboxes but not for the kitty, then have a look at the Hello Kitty Pez Dispenser or Hello Kitty Cameras.

Amcor Refrigerator Chair Design

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:39:01 +0000

Take a look at the picture above and think of something it reminds you of. Yes, it does look very familiar to our refrigerators at home, well, because it is a refrigerator. Designers Yinnon and Danit Simhi were inspired to make these Amcor chairs from old, used refrigerators which were redesigned to make these awesome looking chairs. This set of a chair and a stool is made out of a single refrigerator. I have to admit, it does look very inviting and comfortable, especially to people who have their laptops to carry around everywhere. You could sit in the chair, stretch out your legs on the stool and have the laptop on your lap and work for several hours without hurting your back. Who says chairs have to be conventional looking all the time? And not only that, if these Amcor chairs are in the market then it would be easier to recycle those old, worn out refrigerators. It is definitely a genuine eco-friendly idea and design. Via: Unplggd

The K-Box Makes Any Surface a Speaker

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:38:52 +0000

It looks like a simple, trendy cell phone, and is just about the right size to carry around. I am sure all you music lovers and gadget geeks out there know what it is? This curiously simple looking portable device is being promoted as a personal music device by Kerchoonz. It is called the K-box and it is a transformer. The K-box transforms any surface you place it on into your own personal speaker system, so you can enjoy your MP3 Player anytime, anywhere, without having to plug in your head phones and juggle with all those wires. If you already know about these personal music devices, then you would have come across some of the predecessors of K-box. Most of these devices like the Soundbug, the Qvoix, the Nimzy Vibro Blaster and the S3i sound drivers, work in a similar manner and are still available in the market. Then why do we need K-box you may ask? Well, for one, it looks very hip, is the most easy to carry around and functions without any hassles. But mainly because it is based on a new technology which utilizes the hydro gel based suspension system, and it performs better owing to the new improved dynamics, outputs, bass performance and a lasting battery life. It can be recharged using a USB and can be plugged into any other device you want to via the headphone jack. If you are still not convinced then take a look at how the K-box converts any surface into a great speaker in the following video and then go ahead and grab a K-box and share your music with everyone!

Women Makeup Gadgets

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:36:48 +0000

Nothing speaks women's gadgets more than a gadgety make up kit, and through the years there have been many of them starting from the 50s. There is just something about a makeup kit that opens in about 500 different ways that makes you feel like you have been transported to some kind of space age make-up room, or maybe something even cooler. In this article, I would like to show you a few of the more modern gadgets that seem to me quite amazing. Before I begin, I must show you a picture of the Revlon's Custom Eyes eyeshadow kit. This kit used to be made in the 80s, and is totally uber cool!! At first glance, you may think that this is just another eyeshadow kit, but in reality, it is truly way more than that. You can actually open up the kit and replace the eyeshadow colors with different ones that were sold separately. Unfortunately, nobody makes them anymore, and all that remains is an old magazine ad. The first one is the Sephora Deluxe Palette, which is quite a buy I must say. This kit has it all, and the best part is, it has about three different layers, which is quite cool. Unfortunately this isn't exactly travel material, but who really cares? Take a look at the Sephora kit. By the way, it's kind of a collector's item... Of course, there are other companies too that make make-up kits that can be opened in a number of different ways, and the next on our list is the BR Makeup Kit this kit is truly complete with eye makeup, blush, lipstick and face powder. The best part about this kit is that it is even portable, and of course, like every other kit featured in this article, it has a million different ways by which it can be opened. For a makeup kit that you can carry in your purse for emergency touch ups, you should probably go with the Cameleon BR Make Up Kit. With the risk of sounding like an advertisement, I will say that this kit is the perfect addition to any woman's purse, and holds eyeshadows, blush and gloss. Mary Kay is another leading brand that produces a makeup kit that has the added advantage of being completely customizable. I think this is quite cool, although it does work out to be a bit expensive. Though this is not as cool and gadgety as the others, have a look at it anyway. The final makeup kit on our list is imho the coolest looking one of the lot. It truly looks like a case of the UFO meets makeup (who know, maybe they'll make a movie out of it next?). This make up kit actually looks like its alive and it's out to get you (or maybe not, who cares, it's fun to think so anyways). Enough introduction, meet the Malibu Glitz Make Up Color Kit. Be scared, be vewy vewy scared.... Buwahahahaha!!! Beyond cool n'est-ce pas? Via: gadgetspage

Cool Fuwa-Fuwa Fur Keyboard with Soft Warm Feel

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:30:07 +0000

For those of you who are unhappy with hard and boring keyboards this should be good news. Now you have an option of getting Fuwa-Fuwa Fur Keyboard which actually has soft feel to it thanks to the fur lining around the keyboard. Fuwa-Fuwa in Japanese means “soft and fluffy” and the fur does give keyboard a soft and fluffy look. Most gadgets look and feel quite cold. Such fur and frills will add the extra warmth and fun element. Of course misogynists may not like the feminine, girlie look of the keyboard. But girls can have all the fun and less pain by using these keyboards for long work, gaming and chatting sessions. The hands will get softer surface to rest. And one can always play with the fur while waiting for chat replies and loading of games. One can literally pet the keyboard for opening up a whole new interesting virtual world. The fur won’t weigh on the conscience since it’s entirely synthetic. It is available at Japan Trend Shop for $115 and you can then have your own fashion computer keyboard. Check out these other two gadgets which have turned feminine - Custom Headphones with Fur and the iPod Purse.

Hello Kitty Taser

admin — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:51:46 +0000

Before I begin, I must mention that this gadget is a fake, but I decided to write about it because it was too good to be true...especially for girls who are just crazy for Hello Kitty accessories. Now imagine this: You're walking down a lonely dark alley on a rainy night and there is nobody in sight except for spooky shadows and little scraping noises. You are all alone and trying to walk down the alley as fast as you can hoping that you get out alive. Suddenly someone jumps out from in front of you and attempts to mug you. You quickly reach into your purse (or pocket, or whatever) and pull out something pink with a hello kitty on it. The assailant begins to take you less seriously than he did before. You point it at him (or her) and he (or she) begins to laugh... Then ZAP!!! All that's left of the guy (or girl) is a writhing mass on the floor, and you (person and possessions intact) step over this person and proceed on your way... None of this would be possible without the Hello Kitty taser, which is why it is such a shame that it is a fake. Since it is a fake, I can only hope that someone will read this post and decide to make one. (If you do, be sure to send me one :D) For real Hello Kitty items, which are not as menacing, check out the geeky Hello Kitty Lunchbox or the Hello Kitty Cameras. Via: Crunch Gear

Titanic Barbie Doll

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:11:21 +0000

I spent a lot of my childhood playing with Barbie dolls, well, if playing can be described as chopping off hair, dismantling the legs and arms and putting them back together and scratching out the eyes and god knows what else. Then there was a short period where it was really cool to own a Barbie doll and style her hair, fashion new clothes for her and drink pretend tea with her. Everyone loves her, even if you are too young to realize the importance of having a huge rack. All said and done, Barbie is quite a legend. That aside, to mark the 10th year of the movie Titanic, which was one of the greatest hits of all time, the people at Leo Mattel released the Titanic Barbie Doll. This is quite a beauty I must say. The attention to detail is also really great and I love the hair. But then again, this isn't very surprising, considering that the makers of Barbie have always put in great care to make their dolls and given that this is a special one.... As expected, the doll is only a limited version, but the essence of Rose and the movie itself has been perfectly captured. I think spending just under $30 for this is definitely not a waste. I actually really like the packaging as well. Really dramatic Other cool Barbie themes included the Birds Barbie Doll and the Barbie USB Flash Drive.

Funny Monkey Nail Dryer

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:35:02 +0000

How many times have you painted your nails, assumed they were dried and then touch it against something only to realize that they weren't really dry. By then however, your nails are ruined, and all that patience and effort was wasted. In fact, that happens to me so often that I've given up trying to paint my nails completely. Just when you are thinking all is lost, and that you need to resign yourself to the tedium of sitting for hours on end trying to dry your nails, or if you just thought that manicures were boring, someone came up with the perfect solution...Presenting the Monkey Nail Dryer! Ta-da!!!! Now you never ever have to worry about your nails drying ever again! All you have to do is paint your nails, press the plate of bananas and you'll have this adorable monkey blowing cool air on your nails and helping them dry quickly. I will guarantee you'll never be bored again, because you'll be too busy admiring the cute little monkey. This little monkey nail dryer is pretty inexpensive as well. Costing only £4.40 or $8. It is battery operated which makes it portable, and it is pretty small, so along with the Magnifying Glass Nail Clipper, it makes a perfect accessory for Women. Via: Oliver Bonas

operated and portable. The cost is $8, and the monkey dryer is a delightful birthday present for a teenager.

Lipstick USB Flash Drive

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:48:29 +0000

How many times have you rushed into a meeting only to realize that you had a bag full of makeup, but the important document that you needed wasn't there. Okay, I know, if you are that flaky then you should probably not be at a meeting, but at the mall instead, BUT, it could happen... Right? Let's just say that DOES happen. So anyway, you just see lipstick and gloss and eyeliner, and eyeshadow, but no pen drive. Does this mean you go into panic mode? Well, not necessarily.... It could be that you just forgot that the lipstick you saw there was in fact a USB drive. How does that sound for a really bad story? (Again, if you forgot that your pen drive looked like a lipstick case, then seriously... you don't belong in that meeting....).... This is what I was talking about... quite a cool lipstick gadget isn't it? And it can hold up to 1 GB of memory, which is quite good, although not really that much anymore. However, it does look good, and it is the perfect gift for anyone, whether it's your significant other (ladies, this probably doesn't apply to you if your significant other is a guy, unless you're dating, and his dressing, preferences are a little lets just say "out there") or just a friend who likes cool gadgets. I guess the only possible hazard of owning a gadget like this is you could really mistake your lipstick for your pen-drive, and using your pen drive as lipstick or sticking your lipstick in your USB drive could be a little messy. Other cool USB accessories for women we seen before include the Male and Female USB Necklaces or the Pink Heart USB Necklace, both of which could make for cute jewelry that is also a USB Flash Drive.

Russian Nesting Doll Handbag by French Designer Christian Louboutin

admin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:11:40 +0000

Rich Russian culture - their aristocracy and their nesting dolls never go out of vogue (and this shows they have outlived the communist era). Renowned French Designer Christian Louboutin has created a Russian Nesting doll handbag for the Chanel Pre-Fall 2009 Russian themed collection. This cute doll is so deceptive that is looks like some personal rare Russian collectible doll. That’s the true rare exotic appeal of this designer purse – a never before design concept. This haute couture bag is black in color and is shaped like a Russian doll. The three Chanel logos in the front are the buttons, a white flower and a bow adds the extra feminine touch. The handle is a simple silvery chain. This designer Russian doll handbag should be on sale in July itself and is expected to cost £2,500. Cost of designer labels is also a style statement for celebrities. Of course not all celebrities have to spend on these designer accessories, some are lucky like British singer Lilly Allen, who it seems has been gifted one by designer Christian Louboutin himself. It looks quite different and stylish on her. Girls always love dolls, so they would love to carry this Russian Doll around! Interested in offbeat designer handbags?

The Coolest Hi Tech Faucet Ever

admin — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 00:47:31 +0000

How many times have you been in the loo and wondered if your boss had sent you that all important email, or maybe you would like to find out what temperature it was outside before you stepped out. Now this is possible with the new revolutionary facial recognition faucet. The uses I mentioned above are in fact just a few of the things that this wonderful faucet can do. There are just so many things you can do with this, that it seems a little difficult to imagine that at the end of the day it is a bathroom faucet. Let's start with the basics. The faucet has an incredible waterfall style spout that makes for an incredibly luxurious experience. In addition, it also uses chromotherapy, which means that the water is illuminated in different colors to make you feel like you have been transported to a different world completely. At this point, you are probably thinking "Fantastic! This is so amazing", but I haven't even begun to describe the faucet in detail. The second you stand in front of the faucet, it recognizes your face and automatically adjusts the water temperature to exactly suit your preference. This means that you no longer need to fiddle with a knob to make sure that your water is exactly how you like it. If that wasn't enough, you can then use the touch screen display to do a wide range of things, like check your calendar, access email and a whole range of other things. This is truly the most amazing faucet I have ever seen, and it was developed by ihouse which is the same company that developed many smart house and boat gadgets. It is great to see everyday uses being reinvented, such as the Amcor Refrigerator Chair. Via: Trendir

Recycled Can Tabs Stylish Puff Clutch

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:11:27 +0000

Well, recycling is in vogue even in fashion. Eco friendly and recycled accessories have become trendy fashion statements. Here is a Puff Clutch by Escama which has been created from discarded pull tabs of soda cans. It is so stylish that one needs to look closely to realize that it has been made out of pull tabs. The whole metallic look, texture and the slivery wrist strap makes this Puff Clutch quite a trendy accessory too. The pull tabs have been crocheted neatly and there is a silk fabric lining inside. The purse is big enough to hold small essential things of daily needs if one is traveling. This Puff Clutch is yet another Brazilian creation and can be bought for $60. This can be a nice crafty gift item too. When clutched in hand it looks very sleek and stylish. One must make a green pledge and use only recycled eco-friendly products to save further damage and global warming. But unfortunately not many are willing to sacrifice style for any cause. And if eco-friendly products turn out to be such stylish recycled stuff then surely many geeks will switch over happily. Check out another eco-friendly accessory – Solar Powered Bag. More designers should come up with such ecofriendly trendy stuff. Via Toxiferous

A Beverage Warming Cup

admin — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:59:42 +0000

Many people are addicted to hot beverages or are habituated to drinking hot beverages like tea, coffee, milk, hot chocolate or cappuccino in the morning, or any other time at work or at home.

I have seen lot of creative folks bringing stupendous illuminating devices that can turn a house with plain boring walls into something worth adoring. We earlier told you about Birdlight Lamp, a stupendous Bulb design that can lift up the ambiance of any timid room in the house. This time it's a cool and cute design that has something weird but interesting to offer...kind of like the collection of Russian Nesting Dolls. According to the makers, the Teddy Bear Lamp is definitely worth a stare and can garner lot of appreciation for onlookers. Teddy Bears do hold a place of coveted prestige in every girl's life but I am not sure if a headless soft-toy lamp can earn the same. The soft plump body is made the base so as to help one park it comfortably on any flat surface without the fear of tumbling over. If the thought of a teddy bear sacrificing his head to lit up your room doesn't bother you, this lamp can be bought for $149. The Bomb Flower Vase is another interesting piece of decor accessory for it wisely spreads the message of Peace and flaunts a never-seen-before design. So when you have a headless Teddy Bear Lamp and a Bomb Flower Vase in your cave at the sometime, your visitors might mistake you for a destructive person.

Handbag USB flash drives are probably the best way to carry your data around. It is quite an appropriate metaphor as well. Here is a collection of four different Handbag shaped Flash Drives that are not only cute, but are really useful as well. The first in the collection is for an older consumer, for these flash drives are shaped like sophisticated clutches. Like a regular Women handbag, as you keep storing information on the flash drive, the actual size of the handbag keeps increasing. Designed by Dima Komissarov, these handbag flash drives are definitely the perfect accessory in more ways than one.

The second USB flash drive handbag is the most girly one around. One side of the handbag protects the USB bit, and the handle connects the two ends. Despite the kiddy design, these USB drives can store anywhere from 1GB to 8 GB of memory and even the most expensive (8GB version) costs $39, quite a decent buy especially since its so cute.

The third handbag USB drive in this collection is more in the form of a handbag shaped locket that has a retractable USB drive. It looks really nice, especially since it is studded with stones. It's like the kind of thing you would give your daughter for graduation (or wear yourself), and it combines the geeky with the pretty making it the ideal gift (well, you could gift it to yourself you know) for any occasion.

The Barbie Doll Foosball Table Brings Together the Gender Divide

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:12:46 +0000

The Barbie Doll Foosball table or "Barbiefoot" is the brainchild of the French designer Chloe Ruchon. Barbie seems to be everywhere nowadays, whether she is on a Barbie mp3 player or whether she's morphing into a Birds Barbie Doll, there is no escaping her. The reason this product is called Barbie foot is because foosball tables are called babyfoot in France. Apparently now games that were meant exclusively for guys are now being taken over by Barbie too. This foosball table was developed with the collaboration of Leo Mattel and Babyfoot Bonzini.

the product was created in partnership with mattel brands consumer products

and babyfoot bonzini.

Most people think that this is a really weird idea, but I personally think its brilliant. It encourages girls to play foosball, and if you're a guy, well don't you think there are a lot of things to admire about Barbie? It's the perfect way to get guys and girls to play together. It appeals to older people as well. So if you're anywhere between the age of 10 and 50, you will most definitely love Chloe's new invention. At least I think you will. This table was unveiled at the DMY youngsters exhibition in Berlin earlier this year, and it is already receiving tons of attention. The only thing I can see that is a bit creepy about the table is the fact that all their arms have been removed and they have been replaced by poles, which gives them a bit of a zombie-like look, but it is quite Via: Cube Me

A Recycled 6 pack Flower Vase

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:57:05 +0000

Did you find anything odd about this picture? If you have, then you would know that the flowers have been arranged to settle inside beer cans. 6 used beer cans have been put together to create a 6 pack vase, using a plastic sheet which is up for sale at ATYPYK. Take a better look...

Now if any of you can come up with a better idea than this, for recycling those used beer cans, then it would be definitely appreciated and you are welcome to tell us about them. Once you buy the plastic sheet, the beer cans can be painted with different colors permanently, or can be painted every time you have a new bunch of flowers.

Recycling such materials now-a-days is the key to a better living, and should gradually become a part of our lives. So I guess we should all think of such innovative things once in a while. I am sure there are some things in our closets at home which we either do not want to throw away or just cannot get rid off. Wouldn't it be fun to transform them into something really neat just like this 6 pack vase? other interesting works are the bomb flower vase and the Egg Ceramic vases which you should definitely take a look at.

Plantronics Pink Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset is Too Good to Resist!

admin — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 05:58:25 +0000

Plantronics Discover 925 Bluetooth Headset isn't a newbie on the tech shelves. What was not seen before is the pink version of this premium earpiece which is all geared up to drool the fairer sex. Its small and dainty but the size is not suggestive of its amazing features. What would appeal most to women is its diamond shape and its portable case which, in my opinion alone, can hold a lipstick too. It has a silicone ear-tip to render complete comfort and stability. Moreover it comes in three different sizes to combat issues relating to perfect fit. The Multipoint Technology is a milestone feature here, allowing users to use single ear-piece for two Bluetooth phones at the same time. It provides relatively less and most useful controls like voice activated calling and redial, with basic functions like answer or reject a call, end a call, make a call, transfer a call between earpiece and phone, or swap between mobile phone handsets can be done with a press of a single button. It's definitely not rare to run out of battery when you need it the most, as the makers here have left no stone unturned when it comes to charging options. There is an AC Adapter, a USB cable and yes, the fancy case, which not only looks chic, but can boost the energy levels in the earpiece each time it is inserted. Well, it definitely couldn't get better than this, unless you are looking for a Hello Kitty Bluetooth set, which girls and Hello Kitty fans will go crazy for. Product Via GearDiary

Hanging Babylon Fireplace Shows Some Unconventional Design

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:57:12 +0000

When we talk about Fireplaces, we often tend to paint a picture of something that has bricks laced around it and wood logs fueling the fire. But the whole concept of a Fireplace has been revolutionized with designers discarding away the conventional look and bringing mind-boggling forms with no sacrifice on its utility. The Hanging Babylon ethanol fireplace is definitely on top of the heap. Probably the burner will make you think of this as another whimsical design, but it is actually held by steel cables. With no wood logs to fuel the fire and soil our mother nature, the suspended burner uses ethanol to save you from spine-chilling winters. The maker, Stephane Perruchon, calls it Babylon and offers to make it in any shape that you want, be it rectangle, circle or just any polygon. Its definitely for folks who seldom settle for something that is conventional and found in every other household. But on the flip-side, no word on its price and availability. For other great unconventional designs, check out the Headless Teddy Bear Lamp and the Birdlight Hanging Lamp. Via DVICE

One of the marketing gimmick that has worked big time is teaming up things-that-are-most-talked-about with their original stuff.

Cool Hello Kitty Necklaces Made from Aluminum Cans

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:30:40 +0000

All these Hello Kitty necklaces have been made from recycled Aluminum cans and are pretty damn amazing. The pendant is not only pretty but there is a lot of attention to detail. Frankly, it has absolutely everything going for it. It's cute, it's recycled and therefore helps the environment, it has various soda cans' logos on each and best of all, it has hello kitty. It's simply the complete package. It seems that Hello Kitty is everywhere nowadays, such as with the Hello Kitty cameras, Hello Kitty lunchboxes and just way too many products to even list. So it is no surprise that someone thought of the wearable Hello Kitty ideas. Of course, these designs seen at Gadgetoro are so much more than just simple pendants; they are a fashion statement, although I'm not sure if too many people over the age of 20 would wear it (I would, but I don't think that counts). Any of these are pretty cheap for purchase, being mentioned for only $5 each one, and you can of course pick your favorite beverage drink to go with your style. Your other option is of course, to drink a whole lot of sodas, get a pair of scissors, a pair of pliers (and all sorts of other tools) and attempt to make one yourself. You could end up with a lot of nicks and cuts, and will probably end up making a mess of your first 20 attempts (assuming you are that patient) unless you are really adept at making stuff, but you'll have a kind of satisfaction when you put down your tools and you order the necklace online don't you think?

admin — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:46:21 +0000

Pizza Cutters Fit for Hell’s Angels

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:58:29 +0000

Pizza may be the most celebrated thing to ever to come out of the Italians, for it is the dish that made the Italian cuisine famous world wide and envied throughout for its simplicity yet ingenuity.

One should also not forget that the huge discs of cheese, tomatoes, pepperoni...etc that also need to be cut into an equal share for every one in the house. Often, this seemingly simple task involves a huge amount of skill and rarely someone has enough potential to cut the Pizza in a way that is admired by others, so if your are not among those people who are extremely good in cutting a pizza then better get yourself one of these custom-made Pizza cutters, which could be seen as designer weapons you could easily kill with.

Coming out of the custom pizza cutting tools factory - Frankie Food, this is a sure blend of a chopper and a pizza cutter. Frankie specializes in making custom pizza cutters that would be considered pieces of art rather than a pizza cutter. It seems that Frankie ordered a pizza over the phone, the delivery boy instead of coming on a Vespa turned up on a chopper, which might have ignited this fire of extreme design. Unfortunately you wont find this cool cutter/chopper in any of your super stores or malls, as Frankie designs his tools to be one of a kind and very unique, but if you are lucky enough he might just make a custom one for you, on special request that is. Not to be put off in your standard drawer, this is a piece of art that deserves a place on your shelf. These are amazing Pizza cutters that should belong in the list of Bizarre Kitchen Gadgets, for the ingenuity and amazing design which still maintain functionality.

A 2 Carat Gold Ring Mug Design

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 05:56:52 +0000

It is a cup in disguise! You will definitely be fooled when you see this bright sparkling solitaire diamond ring on it, as a handle to this normal porcelain cup. If you think it is a nice idea, then maybe you can get one custom made for yourself. Designed by Yusuke Fujinuma, this 2 carat cup as it is called, does not hold any real jewels. It is actually a simple porcelain cup made up of porcelain, gold glaze and sparkling Swarovski crystal. To convince you of the disguise let me tell you that is costs only $25, making for a reasonably priced ring :). I think it is a great idea for a disguise, especially considering they have done it up completely by packing it in a elegant but over sized jewelery box with only the ring on display. So when you hand it over to your friends as a gift, at first glance it does look like a real diamond ring! Am sure they would not be disappointed even after they figure out its true identity, since it is a rare but beautiful design for a cup. Take a look at how it looks as a ring on the finger and inside the jewelry box... Another interesting cup you can be looking at is the beverage warming cup.

Unplug the Plug Mug Design

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:36:54 +0000

Well, it does function just like it looks, as it can be unplugged so the beverage spills out - It is the Plug Mug. You might be thinking who would want such a mug, or what is its actual purpose? You will find it being sold at just $15.99, that's how much they find it worth, I guess. The Plug Mug has apparently been designed this way to keep those people who play pranks on you at home or in your office and who steal your mugs away, that is its complete purpose. You can leave your mug anywhere, unplugged, so no one else can use it, while it is also advised that you do not forget to put the plug back in while using it yourself, before pouring in your hot coffee, or forget where you have you plug hidden away, to end up with a mug that cannot be used! The Plug Mug sets a different design standard that is for sure. But, in this age, where the consumer always needs more...in terms of function, use or purpose the plug mug fails to set the mark although it is definitely worth being part of a collection of cool mugs. Some other cool mugs you can take a look at are the beverage warmer and the 2 Carat Gold Ring Mug.

Vibrating Mascara

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:04:25 +0000

NotCot would probably be the best at giving us amazing information about the different types of vibrating mascara's out there after having taken a close look at the Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara. It seems that manufacturers are producing more grooming products that can be used with the least of effort and in that venture they came up with the vibrating mascara concept, which is based on the well known fact that when girls put on their eye make up, which includes eye liner and mascara, their hands tend to shake, unless of course you have years of practice or are a professional make up artist. Well, as long as it works I think the idea is good, but I also think even using the vibrating mascara will take some practice, because I am one of those extremely sensitive eyed people, who freaks out anytime anything comes really close to my eyes. And obviously the mention of a mascara brush which will not stop moving right in front of my eye, really close is quite intimidating. All in all, I think the product should hold, because we all get bored of the old things and want new and exciting stuff, especially if it saves time and makes any job easier. [gallery] Via: Makezine

Tasty Hello Kitty Bento Lunchbox Art

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:21:41 +0000

So many people love Hello Kitty, and it is great to see another version of the lovable cat within an artistic Bento Lunchbox that both looks cute and yummy at the same time. This specific Bento lunch by Mamichan has full of so many different vegetables (and some sausage) and could be a really healthy Hello Kitty food item, which could in turn entice many girls to eat healthier. It includes Pancetta and Swiss chard, Brussels sprout saute, and also a mixture of onions, green beans, carrots, red peppers, lamb sausage with tomato and harissa. The only problem would be whether they would actually eat it or believe it is too cute and would try to just keep it for as long as possible; then the problem would be the smell of decaying food. This makes a great durable item, but for other cute non-durable products, check out the Hello Kitty Lunchbox to carry the Bento art inside, the Hello Kitty Necklaces which are made from old Aluminum cans or even the wonderful Hello Kitty Rubik's Cube.

Hand shaped Bestow Vase and Candle Holder

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:13:45 +0000

If you aren't freaked out by this wall mounted hand posing as a vase by now, you definitely will be once you take a look at the candle holder. These are the Bestow Wall Mounted Vase and Candle Holder designs by Harry Allen, who probably think it is funny in an eerie kind of way. These designs are made out of cast mounts of polyester resin and can be easily mounted on any wall. They measure 3.5" x 6" x 9" and do look weird I have to say! Take a look at the candle holder too... I have always appreciated innovative designs, but this is quite extreme in a very odd way I have to say. Imagine you are sitting there and suddenly the candle holder topples over...would that not be scary? Or you are still to put up fresh flowers in the vase and someone walks in and is freaked out by the hand in the wall... so I kind of think this should go to the collector's section of innovative designs, but if you are impressed for any reason, you can buy it for $75. If this has caught your attention you might also want to check out the bomb shaped flower vase and the six pack recycled flower vase just for fun.

Adorable kitchen gadgets and smell of good food are the only incentives I have to step inside my kitchen, and this amazingly cute Lady Grater is yet another simple and dolled-up kitchen accessory that will churn out nicely grated veggies, cheese or anything for that matter. I think the poised smiling Lady on the top conveys the persona of women in kitchen, an image of a sorted-out and warm individual. The lady's attire is completed with the gown-shaped grater area at the bottom. The plastic-rimmed end keeps holds the grated stuff inside in the conical space as against the normal slicers or graters that are held like a backward slash spilling stuff all around it.

Every Chef’s Dream Chopping Board Gadget

admin — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:04:25 +0000

The new design of chopping boards by Antony Joseph are so convenient and easy to use that every chef would want to have these, for they allow one to chop and then transfer straight into the cooking utensil. The chopping boards are divided into three segments of which the bigger central one is meant for cutting, and the two segments on either side fold up when the handle is pressed. This way the food can then be transferred straight off the board into your pot or cooking utensil.

These chopping boards are made from polypropylene which is the industry standard. Polypropylene is durable and enduring and unlike other material such as wood, it does not have any pores and will not absorb moisture. They are thus very easy to clean and to maintain. Further, the material can also be used in the dishwasher. The chop to pot boards come in five varying colour of royal blue, lime green, raspberry pink, white and orange. It measures 19" in width, 10.75" in length and 0.5" in height and can be yours for only $29, with free shipping in IS and Canada.

Leo Mattel Presents the Star Trek Barbie Dolls

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:43:18 +0000

Leo Mattel has recently turned to making some Barbie collectibles, and the latest on the list is the Star Trek Movie Barbie Assortment Set. This set contains three dolls that are dressed like Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Lt. Uhura. Quite an impressive collection, with a great eye for detail, this is sure to be a big hit among Barbie fans and Star Trek fans alike. What I like best about this collection is that it manages to capture the essence of Star Trek without losing any of the Barbie-ness about it (ok Ken-ness as well). You can almost picture a babble of Klingon combined with Captain Kirk saying "Beam me up Scotty". The clothes are modeled on the 2009 Star Trek movie, and is complete to the smallest detail. The pack contains three individually packed dolls, and each of them is just over 11 inches tall. The uniform and accessories are all included. The only thing missing is the Starship Enterprise, and maybe the rest of the crew, but collectors won't mind that as long as they get a piece of the action. The Star Trek Movie Barbie Assortment Set retails at $151, which is about $50 per doll, which is fairly reasonable for something of this quality. If you liked this product, be sure to check out the Titanic Barbie, Barbie Doll Twillerbabies, the Barbie Doll Foosball Table.

Remote Controls Wearing Chinese Costumes?

admin — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:04:33 +0000

The Ritz Carlton has always been the last name in luxury, and this remote control dressed in a Chinese outfit is definitely an indication of this. The fact that they look to dress up their remote controls, and possibly other knick-knacks just shows how much they care about appearances. If you want your remote control to look really cool and whatnot, all it takes is a bit of cloth from an old curtain (I think that's what this is), some foam to provide the padding and some brown silk piping. Once you have assembled these materials like Netanel has, and you manage to borrow a sewing machine, it's just a few minutes work to make your remote control look just as cool as this. With a little imagination, you can even imagine you live at the Ritz Carlton. While some people could consider dressing up a remote a bit excessive, I think it's a really nice touch. Especially if it matches with the decor of the room. The green and purple outfit is really cool, although I'm not very sure about the sleeves. I think it makes it look like the remote has ears.... don't you think? But then again, without the sleeves, it wouldn't really be a dress. If you are interested in making a real size dress to wear, then try out the Designer Dress DIY, or take a look at the Zipper Dress. Via: [Netanel]

Twilight Series Collectible Dolls are Awesome

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:33:36 +0000

For those of you who love the Twilight series, here is a chance to get your hands on these amazing Edward Cullen and Bella Swan Tonner Dolls. These dolls are frankly beyond awesome, with a lot of little features that make them doubly special, and definitely a great buy if you are a fan of the series. Both the Twilight Dolls are sold separately, with the Bella Swan doll costing $139.99 and the Edward Cullen $139.99 as well, which at first glance seems a little expensive, but when you pay close attention and understand the kind of detail that has been incorporated into them, it isn't so bad really. Firstly, both dolls are modeled after the actors that portray these characters (Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson). All the features on the dolls are hand painted, and their outfits exactly match those worn by the actors in the movie. the really cool part is that the dolls can move 15 different joints. These include the elbows, shoulders, neck, wrists, waist, bust, ankles and knees. This essentially means that you can alter the pose of your Tonner Dolls. With this much detail incorporated into a 15 inch high doll, it is no wonder that these little beauties cost that much money. If you liked these dolls, you might want to check out the Titanic Barbie and The Birds Barbie

Light Up Your Rainy Nights With The LED Umbrella

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:21:29 +0000

Rainy days have a charm of their own and you can spend hours sitting at the window watching the water make temporary rivers along your street, not to mention the absolute fun that kids have splashing around in puddles. All that sounds really nice and romantic until you have to step out into the rain are drenched horribly all the way to your t-bone. Of course, that’s what umbrellas were made for, you say, but even though umbrellas protect you from the rain they don’t make you visible to the guy passing buy in his car and accidentally splashes dirty puddle water all over you. The LED Umbrella could have protected you from that sad incident. This futuristic umbrella is fitted with Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and will provide you with eternal light since it is powered by the Force. Okay, I just made that up, but the shaft of the umbrella does light up making sure that all the half-blind people on the road can still see you clearly on deathly dark rainy nights. The LED Umbrella costs $25 at ThinkGeek.com and you can opt for a black one with the white-light shaft or a colorful red one that lights up in red. Make your choice and chase away the gloom! Also, if you want to protect your shoes in the rain, then the Shoe Umbrellas are a wonderful solution.

Nippon Fusion Watches Look Great With Anything

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:03:48 +0000

We have become so very dependent upon our cell phones that it seems we can barely take a step away from our beloved iPhone or Blackberry without our heartbeats increasing. Everything that we could possibly desire, and more, is available instantly on our phones. Why on earth, then, would you ever consider getting a watch when you could just flip your phone open to see the time? For most people today, watches have become those obsolete gadgets that you wear around your wrist just because they look good. For some others, it is also because even after years of only using the phone to view the time, they still haven’t been able to kick the habit of looking automatically at the wrist. So, it’s no wonder that watches have to look especially good for anyone to consider buying one. Tokyo Bay doesn’t usually come out with great designs but the Nippon fusion watch is an exception. It’s futuristic dial and brightly coloured background demands attention. This is one of those stylish watches that you could wear for a long time as your dressing sense changes along with the passing trends since it would still compliment whatever you are wearing. The Nippon Fusion watch is also quite affordable at $30 to $40 at ThinkGeek.com. For other cool designer watches, take a look at the fashionable Nooka watches or the cool Traser Watch.

Hello Kitty Stormtrooper: May The Pink Force Be With You!

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:16:24 +0000

Little girls and a fair number of boys absolutely adore Hello Kitty and anything to do with her. The cute little kitty with her traditional pink bow-tie is all sugar, spice and everything nice and never wastes a moment to advice kids to be on their best behavior as she mews her way into girls’ lives. Most adults know cats to be extremely independent and demanding creatures who are so regal they actually believe that they are the masters and their humans the lowly and faithful pets. Hello Kitty, on the other hand, seem to be the epitome of all that is good. Don’t you think she is just way too cool to be true? And, it isn’t true! Hello Kitty finally showed her true colors at ComicCon in San Diego. It turns out that this pretty kitty is actually a Star Wars Stormtrooper working on the dark side. The Star Wars meets Hello Kitty figure doesn’t look too bad all dressed up in pink, especially with the matching pink helmet complete with protection for her delicate ears, but most Star Wars fans probably wouldn’t appreciate the pinkification of the galaxy. Now that they’ve made a Hello Kitty Stormtrooper, perhaps they might consider making a Jedi Hello Kitty! Via: KittyHell

Very Cool Redbull Can Hello Kitty Magnets

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:39:14 +0000

Most people love Hello Kitty, and almost everyone loves Redbull, so this recycled Redbull can made into a Hello Kitty magnet is definitely something that everyone will love whether they are four years old or they are forty. I just love how the artist pays so much attention to detail, I mean this Redbull Hello Kitty every has whiskers and a bow on its head. Since its made from a Redbull can, it even has "wings to fly"! How much cooler can it get? Seriously! The Hello Kitty magnet is available from FunkyJunq's etsy shop, and it's a fairly big magnet with dimensions of around 4"x3.5". Just like the previous recycled (or upcycled as the artist puts it) Hello Kitty necklaces that we featured, these too do are priced at a very reasonable $4 per magnet. The only difference is that you can't wear these magnets, but I'm sure they will make a great conversation piece when they are stuck on your fridge. These magnets would also make a great gift to someone who like redbull and (or) Hello Kitty.

Datin Mary Zains New Prom Dress Cakes

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:52:08 +0000

Datin Mary Zains latest creation is a cake that could well really be a prom dress. If ever you thought that cakes were for kids, you need to have a look at these, for these cakes are heart melting and adorable and one wishes that one lived in Malaysia just so you could buy one of these or even just see them for real. The two cakes, one in blue and the other a deep green are both simple elegant designs for prom dresses. The cakes by Datin Mary Zain have an amazing finish to them and the icing is smooth as silk with every pattern made to perfection. If the cakes taste even half as good as they look, it would be sin in heaven. Just looking at the cakes one can tell the amount of thought and love that has gone into creating it. It is probably this that is the reason that each of the cakes are works of perfection, from the texture and the coloring to the minute detailing and creativity.

Cute and Cuddly Swear Teddy Bears

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:13:09 +0000

Many of you would have owned Care Bear dolls growing up, now that you are all grown up, it's time to get yourself a Swear Bear. These teddy bears are just as cuddly and cute as a Care Bear, but with these teddy bears, you get so much more. As innocuous as they seem, these bears will totally blow your mind with their unbelievably filthy mouth. They curse and they swear, and if you press their tummy, they say will tell you to "Eat s**t and die, mother f**ker!" or use some rather charming phrases like "Nobody loves you, everybody hates you, go f**k yourself!". Who wouldn't want a little cuddly bear that says stuff like that? At first glance, these little 6 1/2 inch tall bears look like something that you would want to give your little daughter, or niece or some other little girl that you know, but beware! They are not as innocent as they seem! If you ask me, they are a really cool gift to give your girlfriend, especially if you want to break up with her. The bears aren't that expensive, retailing at $14.38, so you don't even have to worry about spending too much on a soon-to-be ex-girlfriend. Just keep in mind that these kinds of gifts have repercussions...like the headless Teddy Bear Lamps.

Final Fantasy Collectibles Are Too Cute To Play With!

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:19:49 +0000

The Final Fantasy series is well-known for the amazing graphics and especially good looking powerful characters but what it is most famous for is the dream-like feeling that it bestows upon the players of the game. Pick up any installment of the Final Fantasy game from Square Enix and you’ll walk away feeling like a warrior. Nothing can compare to the leading a Final Fantasy warrior through the realms of the game, except perhaps owning one of your favorite characters. This set of four figurines from the game is the third release of collectibles and includes the invincible Hume sky pirate Balthier and his faithful half-Veela warrior Fran from Final Fantasy XII. Joining Balthier and Fran is Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII and Tidus from Final Fantasy X. Beautiful Aerith who seems like the materialization of all that is Earthly and natural may have died years ago but that hasn’t stopped fans from fantasizing about her reincarnation. Adored by girls for her beauty (and by boy for the same reason!), this collectible can be bought with the hope of Aerith’s return someday. I know Mandy Moore is definitely getting this for her collection! The attention given to the figurines is amazing and even Tidus looks happy (even without Yuna by his side). This would be the perfect gift for your little girl; it looks great and costs just $21.

Gravity Defying Boots Add A Bounce To Your Steps

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:21:59 +0000

Something that I really wanted as a kid and haven’t stopped thinking about is my very own trampoline. The idea of having a trampoline in the middle of my room so I could have hours of fun jumping up and down on it was something that I thought would be incredibly cool. Perhaps buying myself a trampoline is a dumb idea because getting something that would simulate being on a trampoline sounds much better. The Gravity Defying Boots won’t help you climb the walls of your room and hang upside down like a bat from the ceiling but are still pretty wicked. The boots are fitted with a patented T-spring system that gives your steps a skip (even when you aren’t happy). Walking around in this will make it feel as though your legs have suddenly turned into a pogo stick. The boots are quite safe for kids and can be buckled up on athletic shoes. The adjustable straps let multiple users enjoy the same pair of shoes. The Gravity Defying Boots would be loads 0f fun for all ages but just remember to use this with appropriate safety gear, and make sure you are on dry level ground. The $70 boots from Hammacher will probably make you look like Humpty Dumpty bouncing along the road but it's way too much fun to care about how you look. You probably shouldn't leave this lying around because anything this awesome is liable to be stolen within seconds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Not surprisingly, geeks everywhere are trying to join in and conquer their worst enemy of before, the world of fashion, be creating green wearable technology. After all, if it helps the environment then you couldn’t possibly go wrong! Geeks have been trying things like this for ages but their ventures into the fashion world with DIY gadgets have usually made them the laughing stock of their city (if they weren’t already, that is). Forget DIY gadgets and just get yourself this Solar Light Cap and tell people you made this yourself. The baseball cap has a solar panel on the brim of the cap which catches all those hot sun rays throughout the day. At night, you could turn on a button and two LED spotlights will give you a cool alien look. The Solar Light Cap would be quite handy on camping trips or even reading a book in bed without disturbing your mate (girls, take a hint) and you would be saving so much power with this. The $35 cap ThinkGeek.com is actually quite stylish with the solar panel flashing silver against the black of the cap. 2 hours of solar charging can power the spotlights for 2 hours and dimming the lights can make it go for 18 hours (up to 36 hours on maximum charge). You could also use the flashing SOS mode to imitate a stranded alien waiting for the mother-ship’s arrival!

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:30:07 +0000

Ever feel like Cinderella waiting for her handsome prince to come and rescue her every time you have to clean your dungeon-like basement? Some surfaces are just too hard to clean and just the thought of going down on the knees with a brush to scrub the greasy floor of a garage or cellar is enough to bring tears to most girls’ eyes. Princes don’t really exist outside of our imagination but the technology grants you the best substitute. We haven’t yet reached the age where intelligent robots like the one Richie Rich had would go about cleaning up after us but iRobot has something that comes a close second. The Indoor Outdoor Roomba Robotic Sweeper is a small gadget with two hard brushes on its belly which go to work scrubbing like crazy. Just a press of the button can have the brushes of the sweeper going at 1000 times per minute. The little machine works on its own exploring the dirty surface and sweeping debris as heavy as nuts and bolts into its own dustbin. The sweeper's sensor keeps it from crashing into objects like furniture or falling over from stairs. The $130 Indoor and Outdoor Roomba Robotic Sweeper from Hammacher is ideal for use on wooden, concrete or tiled surfaces. Just set your mini-robot to work and go out for some well-deserved fun; you’ll never have that old-fashioned wish to be rescued ever again!

LED Dinosaur Desk Lamps: Dinosaurs Pour Light on Your Desk!

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:43:55 +0000

Oh boy, this LEDSAUR Dinosaur Desk Lamp is one the wackiest lighting accessories I have ever come across. It surely breaks the monotony of excessively cute and sight-for-the-sore-eyes-league of products. We have studied reams about Dinosaurs in school days but little did I know that the modern breed of designers could roll out a brilliant Dinosaur lamp. The hand-carved lamp is made of stainless steel and with pliers, you can bend its fore-arms ( as seen in the image) and get the desired shape. There are two versions here, regular and deluxe, the distinguishing factor being with skeleton's spine decked with LED lights that can change colors. And since there there are LED bulbs here which means it will not eat into your energy bills. For nocturnal creatures like me, this prehistoric animal lamp can make up for a good companion. It comes with a price tag of $160 (It ships with a remote control and an AC adapter) which can obviously dig big hole in your wallet, but if you have the cash to burn, it's one-of-a-kind desk accessory that you have to have! If you are in for more unconventional lighting options then check out the Red Liquid Lamp, the Bloom Lamp and the Matryoshka Nesting Doll Light Design.

The Heartbeat Coat Rack

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:52:38 +0000

This idea for a coat rack designed by Colin O'Dowd is fantastic and cool as well. The rack looks similar to a heartbeat or wave pattern with the up and down pulses, and could mean anything to you from that of your own heart beat to the pitch of your favorite tune.

Using numerous hooks on your wall seems so boring when you have this rack for an option which is so much intersting. The cool waves moving down can also be used to hang anything with a hook or a handle on it, and is therefore multi functional and can be used in a multitude of places. These racks are made of 8mm steel wires that have been powder coated to four different colors - light green, white, red and black. It is 22.6" in width, 10.6" in height and 2" in its depth and would cost you only $49 to buy and will be shipped free of charge within the US and Canada.

Adorable Hello kitty Chess Game

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:49:31 +0000

I am sure men would be perpetually envious of the fact that they never have so many colorful and cute choices with respect to things they use. But for women, we just have to think about it and there it is, on the platter for us. So before any woman snapped out of her dreams of a pink chessboard, Hello kitty saved the day. The Adorable Hello Kitty Chess Game is a cute decorative version of one of the world's most brain-challenging games. The Deluxe Collector Tin Case here stashes all the cute chess pieces and when you turn it upside down, you'll find the laced checkered print. Sanrio suggests Hello Kitty celebrates her 30 glorious years of wooing women with her friends through this product. The pieces for opponents are the same, the pink and the bright red color being the only distinguishing factor. I simply love the cute yellow crown of our King Hello Kitty and not to mention the beautifully decked Queen with her pink bow and flowers. Even though its not meant for adults, I am planning to buy one of these just as a souvenir. For as much as $22, it makes up for a great gifting idea. Hello Kitty, off late, has been gracing a lot of everyday products and concepts and if you wish to follow the cult of the pink cat's mania, do check the Hello Kitty Flash Drive, Hello kitty Rubik's cube and a Swarovski-studded Hello Kitty Digital Camera.

Best Multitasking Ever!

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:59:58 +0000

Geeks and others always look for different ways to multitask, but this may be the best (or silliest) way I have ever seen a Geek try to stay at the computer desktop.

Image: biotv

It is true that if you do not have to get up off of the computer to go do your Bathroom duties, you can definitely save time and get more done, but isn't this going overboard? This way of multitasking could be a true dream for Geek girls and boys, so they do not have to leave the computer screen, world of warcraft and have the keyboard keys to comfort them no matter what they are doing. But what about your feet falling asleep or worst yet...wouldn't you need to wash your hands?

The New Turn On and Off Lamp Design by Lana Savettiere

admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:46:00 +0000

The Turn on lamp so named because it is designed to look like the on/off switch on electronic devices, is a cool and interesting new design by Lana Savettiere Architetti. The uniqueness of this lamp is that it can be switched on or off simply by turning it to either the left or right side.

The two Italian designers Marco Lana and Alberto Savettiere, who together form the architect firm that designed this lamp have a multi purpose approach to their designs that make everything aesthetic but at the same time very practical, such as this lamp was designed as part of a furniture series with the theme of on - off. The lamp is rechargeable and can thus be used anywhere, in your room or when you are out in the garden for a midnight picnic, and the colored plastic table lamp is 30 cm in diameter and 10cm in its width.

The lamp is made of opal flexiglass with the central illumination through internal LED lights. It is also identical on both sides and can thus be kept either way or any place you want to place it and viewed from various angles.

The idea is unique in being both interesting as well as extremely useful, and if you are looking for other lamp ideas, check out the Revealing Lights, Red paint Lamp Designs or the Matryoshka Dolls Lights.

Geeky Sensible Clothing that Senses your Stretches

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:17:19 +0000

These sensible clothes help you to achieve the perfect fit no matter what as a result of endeavors by the highly creative team at Aeolia. These clothes incorporate the Merlin Stretch Sensor, which means that the garment actually senses the wearers movements. The data that the sensor collects is used to adjust the appearance of the clothing and communicate with other similar garments and the environment.

The project is called ‘Aeolia‘ with the purpose to explore concepts of our bodily engagement with the land and ideas of space and place.

Each of the back forms incorporate the Merlin stretch sensor into an aesthetic exploration of textile technique mapped to the body – weave (grey), knit (white) and embroidery (black).

The creators of this technology have experimented with three different kinds of materials, the weave, the knit and the embroidered. They used standard materials like a Bekaert yarn for the knit. These materials then use a sensor that is based on the change in length of the path of conduction. The Merlin Stretch Sensor then measures various parameters like the displacement, force, compression and the stretch by acting like a varying resistor (which means that the resistance increases with stretch). The sensor is essentially a cord with a pair of electrical fixings which are attached at both ends. If you like alternative (and sometimes freaky, but geeky nonetheless) fashion, then take a look at these Geeky maternity clothes, the weird condom dress and the 120 zipper dress Via: Talk2my Shirt

Super Geeky Steampunk Wedding Cake

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:27:56 +0000

Rumor has it that most women fantasize about that perfect white wedding from the time they are 4 years old, but if that is true, then there is no explaining this awesome Steampunk Wedding Cake. I know its not conventional like the Prom Dress Cakes, and not too many people are keen on eating gears and levers and other metallic objects, but this cake is so beautifully crafted that it most definitely deserves to be eaten. Steampunk isn't a common sci-fi genre anymore (I wonder why), but with cakes like this, it most certainly should be more popular! This incredible cake was made by the people at Mike's Amazing Cakes, which is a cake shop based in Seattle. Seriously, Steampunk never looked this delicious! Alright, it doesn't look delicious, but it looks seriously authentic, like it came right out of a sci-fi book, and the gears and etc will start to turn and produce something even more magnificent. The best part though, is that every single gear, screw, nut and bolt can be eaten. Seriously amazing. Whoever got this cake must have had one pretty incredible wedding, too bad I wasn't invited.

iPhone Cake is Geeky Yet Cool

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:27:20 +0000

There are a lot of pictures of cakes floating around on the Internet, but this iPhone cake really made me stop and have another look. It may not be as fancy as this Prom Dress Cake, or even as well executed, but there is definitely something about it that catches the eye, and makes you want to have a slice. If I wanted to, I could pick out a million flaws in this cake, like the fact that the whole thing is brown, it doesn't really look like an iPhone unless you are really imaginative, the cake isn't very neatly made and I'm really not very sure about that weird frilly thing underneath the cake, but at the end of the day, a cake is a cake. It is something that people are going to eat, and they're going to enjoy eating it. The fact that this cake is a bit flawed makes it somehow endearing. It also tells most amateur bakers around the world that they don't need to be shy to experiment and maybe even try and make themselves an iPhone cake. Who knows, your cake could look and taste better than this one. Via: Geek Sugar

I couldn't get too many details from the actual makers, bea&txm, and unfortunately there weren't any more pictures of this cake, but there are a couple of things that are evident about the cake. The first is that the cake is a Tetris cake and the second is that the cake is a wedding cake. What I am not sure about is why the groom is carrying a sword and why the bride has something that looks a bit like dynamite in her hand. Maybe I was mistaken and it is actually a divorce cake? Well whatever it is, it is a fun and colorful cake that i'm sure was very delicious to eat.

These beautiful Apple pendants are made by DestinyCreations using Art Clay Silver b , which is basically fine powder of pure metal that is mixed with a binder. The material is thus pliable like clay and the articles can be molded or crafted into the desired shape by hand. Once the product is ready, it then has to be fired in a klin, at which time the binder burns away leaving behind metal that's 0.99% pure silver.

These pendants were made the same way, crafted with love and patience before being baked. They are then polished to give them the shine and satin look. The color on the pendants are from resins of red and green. One measures 2.2cm in height and 1.8 cm in width,while the other an inch and these lovely pendants are held by an 18 inch long chain of sterling silver. The whole process, time and effort involved in making this makes it special, and most definitely the fact that it is totally made by hand would make it unique, the only piece that's this one.

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:28:08 +0000

This blanket is definitely a sign of the Tetris effect among fans of the game who play it all the time. It most definitely is true that after a time one starts imagining everything in relation to the game, in squares that can be fit together, and one falls asleep dreaming of coloured grids. Having said all this, the blanket by GracieLouWho is knitted fantastically with five very pleasing colors of Peach, Cream, Blue, Violet and Green. The Tetris pattern looks amazing and is totally adorable for a kid, and any child playing and sleeping on a blanket such as this is bound to grow up to be a geek just like his parents who would get him such a blanket perhaps. The edges look like they have been crocheted with the same colors, but is in fact also simply knitted and the last row looped to give it the effect. This is definitely an amazing idea for a blanket and you might want to make a bigger version of the same with colors of your choice for a gift to your geek friend or simply maybe even for yourself.

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:49:50 +0000

The Solitaire card game is probably the oldest of all games and it is also one of the first computer games ever since birth of PC. All solitary souls love this simple game of cards and this Solo Cake seems to be fitting tribute to the good old indulgence. The Solo cake is a perfectly baked replica of the Solitaire game and one needs to take a closer look to believe that this ‘game in progress’ is only a design.

Awesome 3D Gameboy Perler Bead Sprite Set

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:38:51 +0000

Made by fusing a whole bunch of colored beads, this is an amazing set of 3D bead sprites that look exactly like your Nintendo Gameboy Color, using sprites or pixel representations of an image. Colored plastic beads are arranged carefully in a kind of grid to form an image similar to the sprite, and are then fused together by heating, giving a 3 dimensional image.

These Sprites are made to look like your Nintendo Gameboy and the screen shows the different blocks of Tetris, and one, the initial screen of special edition of Pokemon Yellow.

These are made by Doctor Octoroc in various Gameboy colors such as the Kiwi Lime Green, Teal, Pink, Atomic Purple, Dandelion Yellow, Black and a clear one all with the screen showing Tetris.

A New Twist in this Swiss Army Knife Cutlery Holder

admin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:57:58 +0000

Very simple, yet efficient and functional just like the Swiss army knives, is this cutlery holder designed by ArtLebedev studio. With the cutlery in it and the little plus symbol, it looks almost like a Swiss army knife does, with all its parts opened out, only probably a bigger version.

The holder is divided into four sections, and hence you can separate your cutlery the way you want to, so they are all accessible easily and within your reach at any time. Small ventilating holes at the bottom ensure that everything put in the holder stays safe and rust free. Grey, White, Cherry Red and Orange Red are amongst the possible colors for this piece. The Grey and White could also have various textures other than the glossy finish available on the reds.

Although maybe not the best of ideas for a kitchen gadget, nor the most creative, this holder is definitely novel and would make you look twice, and it definitely solves the purpose of its creation.

Amazing Origami That Will Take Your Breath Away

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:30:36 +0000

Origami literally meaning 'fold paper' is the Japanese art of creating representations of objects by folding or creasing of paper. Although one does come across various small origami patterns, I have never seen anythings as complicated and beautiful as these. Every detail is intricate and is definitely both complicated as well as time consuming to make. Qiao Chang has crafted these cunningly, and with much thought, such as this Tetris patterns that comes together to make a cube of many colors that definitely catches your eye. Every one of these are obviously modular, and made using various pieces of paper, but I really cannot see how they hold on with just folds and no glue or adhesive. Origami is a hobby for many and these will definitely be inspirational for them and they would probably spend time figuring out exactly how each piece was made. It most certainly is a very novel idea for a gift, which shows the effort and thought that you have put in. Also if you were as creative your gift would be made with specific thoughts of the person it is meant for. Origami would also look amazing on your tree come Christmas!

In this day and age of wireless gadgets, why should the most used gadgets in our homes be 'wired'? So, here is a whimsical gift in the form of a Wireless Light Switch. How many times have you forgotten to switch off the lights and got into bed, and then grumbled and got out again...and how many times have you switched off the lights using the double switches in the room, which control one light, and then had to get up again, since you had left the other switch in the wrong position? If you know what I am talking about then you would know how irritating it is when such things happen. The solution to all the grumbling would be to install this wireless light switch into your room. This Chrome plated wireless light switch which is placed in a Lucite box, allows you to control any lamps up to a distance of 100 feet.

It has a magnetic lid which has to be opened in order to flip the switch. Even if you are not looking for one, Opulent Items suggest that it is an ideal gift for any age. I think some simple gadgets like these make life a lot more simpler! This wireless light switch is priced at $150 and comes with a one year warranty.

Blackbird Fly Twin Lens Reflex Camera

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:23:43 +0000

I have to wonder why this camera has been named this way? The Blackbird Fly Twin Lens Reflex Camera takes you back to those good old days when camera's used to be much more simpler and manual. As you might have guessed from the name, this camera has two lenses. One of the lens of the Blackbird fly performs the normal view finding function, while the other is used to expose the film. Processing the film is easy since it uses the regular 35mm film. You can read more about the product details at Poketo. This camera allows you to take pictures holding it at waist level and looking into the viewfinder, and it has three different image formats that can be used, the normal 35mm format, the square format and the full frame, which also prints the sprockets of the film. It is also equipped with a bulb function for long exposure shots when there isn't enough light. Priced at $140 this camera comes in three bright colors, red, blue and yellow, and makes a cool collectible.

Another Bond Tied with a Tetris Cake

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:43:11 +0000

For every crazy Tetris fan out there, here is yet another Tetris cake designed like the game which would make every gamer want to have another Birthday party of exciting occasion. The cake by The Peas is three tiered, with abstract Tetris patterns on the sides and on top. Its made with pleasant but not too bright colors like gray, white, beige, brown etc. The cake is made in a way that it definitely has a three dimensional feel to it and every square is highlighted and shows an outline, while still having perfect squares. Although the work is very professional, this would never be my pick for a wedding cake. I would for instance prefer chirpier, happier colors. The only reason I can think of is that the pattern is complete with no spaces and maybe that is how they felt about each other??! The shiny finish suggests that the cake is probably made with royal icing, which is very common for wedding cakes. Surrounding the cake are various gifts, including a game of Tetris, so, the person who it is made for must be a major Tetris fan, and in that case probably loved the cake. And nothing else matters so much, if the people it's meant for really like it ,and can relate to it, does it? For other great geeky cakes, check out the lonesome Solitaire cake or the amazing Steamunk Wedding Cake.

Maybe traveler Jbernhardt was surprised to see Space Invaders Alien Sculpture at Sopporo and Otaru Snow Festival 2008 and why wouldn’t he? Space Invaders Alien is a character of a old retro game Space Invaders which originated in Japan and is no cultural or mythological figure to be presented at a traditional annual snow festival of Japan. On second thought its not surprising since Japan is a known for its geek culture and most modern gadgets and games have been created by Japanese geeks. Also virtual and all amazing characters, logos, icons have invaded our consciousness so much that they are becoming part of the real world culture too. What does still surprise me why sculptor wanted to sculpt an anti-character, an alien who is shot down mercilessly? Maybe he wanted to make statement against some sort of cultural invasion which should be resisted. Whatever it is, the Space Invaders Alien snow sculpture is standing tall at the annual snow festival looks awesome and is done flawlessly. It indicates that times indeed are changing and virtual world is becoming more real. Be it movies or art or product designs virtual games and their characters are finding their rightful place in the culture milieu.

Make Good Old Walking Stick Rightfully Colorful

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:32:31 +0000

Walking stick invariably reminds us of old age and we relate it to end of dynamism and all colorful indulgence but it need not be so. Domini Wilcox’s ‘By a thread’ colorful makeover of drab wooden walking stick is truly symbolic. He has meticulously tight wound different color cotton threads on the walking stick and created set of amazing designer walking sticks, each one with different color combination. Threads are so systematically wound that it gives an aesthetic texture to the surface. One can gift this walking companion to your grandparents this Christmas or one can simply let it stand in the corner of the room as a subtle reminder of eventual dark fate. There are layers of symbolism in this creation. Only age carries various threads of memories and older one gets they increase in number. If one can meticulously wind up these threads for good they never get entangled and knotted. At the dusk of one’s life it is time to look back at the moments of life gone by – the time of innocent childhood, reckless youth, confused middle age and the sudden need of walking stick. Walking stick is a grim reminder of weakness, youth gone by but one can always lean on it as one leans on good memories during bad times. Walking stick needs to be rightfully colorful and this ‘By the thread’ design makes it so. You can watch the DIY video from Dominic Wilcox right below and make your own, but it takes some 15 patient hours.

It’s difficult for normal beings to refrain from judging others for practically everything, be it what you speak, one’s fashion sense and even the kind of accessories we use. I suggest use of these Cool and Geeky Coffee Mugs with an etched self-coined caffeine molecule on its front side to convey that you are unconventional in a geeky way to all the hypercritical eyes around you. The first one is a stainless steel version which is perfect for traveling owing to its sturdy characteristics.

It boasts of being able to fix its bottom in most of the automobile cup holders. The Dual-Wall Insulation with a Drink-through Lid will keep your beverage in the perfect temperature conditions. It can be bought for only $12.99. The Small Glass Caffeine Mug too has the caffeine molecule emblazoned on its surface and shows what your beverage is like. It has a capacity of 10 ounces. If you’re looking out for just for a simple yet intelligent coffee mug with no fancy frills, this glass version has it all for just $7.99 bucks. Both of these Caffeine mugs can make up for excellent gift ideas this Christmas as they break the monotony of usual Mugs with prints of cartoons, coffee beans, cuddly animals and even grinning pictures of oneself or loved ones.

Hamburger Nail Paint

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:41:49 +0000

Most girls change their nail polish colors repeatedly, it is the perfect time killer, time for yourself, the time filler when you don't want to use your brains and sometimes just an obsessive compulsive disorder :) Art can be anything now a days, no offense to artists, but art is the one thing that lets you be imaginative in whichever way you can and express yourself that way. That is what the daily nail blogger has brought forth in the form of a blog which will have different kinds of nail art every day, the recent one being the imitation of a tasty burger on the nails. A burger with so many different colors, would have taken quite some time to be replicated on nails! The artist has used different color bases to bring out the different colors of the burger. I shall not ruin the fun of the blog by talking about how the different colors took birth over here...ill just say that it has a dash of zoya and creme here and there and is definitely worth a read, so you should check it out at blogspot. The DailyNail could also use some of your ideas, if you could help. If you were looking for something more to do with nails then you should also take a look at the funny monkey nail dryer and the nail clipper magnifier.

Moomin Valley DIY Kit Will Turn Your Home Into The Trolls’ New Moomin-Land!

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 09:00:34 +0000

Finnish author Tove Jannson’s Moomin series recounting the adventures of the lovable family of furry trolls started out as a comic book for children and has grown to become a Japanese-Finnish animated series over the past few decades. Taking a completely humane and slightly Shrek-ish look at the lives of trolls long before Disney made ogres look cute, the tales of the Moomins and their magical land in Moominvalley have something for everyone. The best thing about these fuzzy trolls is that they will not only increase kids’ love of reading but will introduce them to a host of emotions and teach them some much required lessons of life. Some of the characters almost seem to be the incarnation of great philosophers like Nietzsche with the wisdom they have to impart! Whether you’ve been in love with these fabulous trolls or not, D-Torso’s DIY model Moomin Valley kit will certainly appeal to every girl. You could opt for Moomintroll or the pretty girl troll Floren and the difficulty level of assembling the pieces makes this a quite ideal gift for a little girl (no more worrying what to give your niece this Christmas)! Each Moomin Valley kit costs $41. The downside is that the manual is in Japanese but I know that won’t stop any DIY fan from getting their hands on this piece. After all, a lack of instructions has never stopped a girl from setting off into a journey of fantasies. You could also take a look at the crazy Origami projects or the cute Dinosaur LED Lamp and Animal Bookend for other cute projects.

The Sound Bulb Conceptual Device is a Perfect Desk Accessory!

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:37:29 +0000

We have always looked for gadgets that combine two or more related functions; Here, the more the merrier. The principle reason behind this we live matchbox sized houses so few gadgets will occupy less space and still deliver utility. The Sound Bulb Concept by Armada does second our opinion and brilliantly hides a speaker inside its light bulb structure. Moving from top to bottom, one can see there is a protective wire mesh ( as seen in all speakers ) followed by the real speakers, the wireless Bluetooth receiver, the LED bulb and the power connector hooked to the Edison E27 thread. The second tool in this unit would be a transmitter with standard plug that can be pushed into any portable media player or even cell phones featuring the standard output jack. So you got to plug in the bulb, turn it on and the receiver will look for signals from the transmitter which means this Sound Bulb will begin to exhale your favorite numbers from the wirelessly connected media player. You can let funny stuff being played in your office surroundings making people say “Darn, why can’t I see any speakers” while you are trying to conceal laughter outburst in your belly. Check out the Turn On and Off Lamp Design, LED Dinosaur Lamps and the Temperature Controlled Faucet Lights for more interesting lighting options for your personal cave.

Virgin Mary Statuette: Celebrate The Dead

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:42:03 +0000

Christmas is here and, apart from getting ready to drink themselves into a stupor, everyone is also getting ready to belt out their favorite Christmas carols. If you’re one of the unlucky few without a Christmas tree (because your apartment isn’t big enough for one?) then just get yourself this uber cool Virgin Mary statuette. Yeah sure, most people would tell you this statuette is quite unlike the traditional Virgin Mary’s that you can find but that’s the best thing about celebrating in an unconventional way: it makes everything seem more special! The porcelain statuette by Derrick Castle is just over 7” tall and has been hand painted in metallic colors with Mexican folk art inspired motifs. The Mexican festival of El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a way for people to keep a connection with the departed souls of their ancestors; even with the dead involved, the day is about as scary as Halloween. Take a look at the feisty snake emerging from Virgin Mary’s bodice and the burning heart on the back; it almost seems to dare you to embrace your wild side! The motifs bordering her bodice and the burning heart on the back follow the theme of traditional American tattoo design. The melange of tattoo deign, Mexican motifs and belief in Mary’s purity create a stunning piece of art. Definitely something worth owning by every girl, no matter where one’s faith stands.

Innovative Structures Made of Discarded Lottery Tickets

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:16:49 +0000

If you want to see how you can create monumental structures using lottery tickets, that too without making use of any adhesive, you can take a glance at these urban complex structures that were put on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, New York’s Brooklyn Museum and Caren Golden Gallery. Each of these galleries (video below) captured by Jean Shin used discarded “Scratch & Win” lottery tickets that failed to win any prizes for their possessors, and were estimated to be worth $32,404, $24,496 and $17,119 respectively. What’s impressive is how these tickets were balanced without glue to create these towering edifices. Though you may think that these structures will easily crumble, they are pretty sturdier though their look belies it. Standing straight -held up by friction and gravity, these structures truly symbolize how the combination of money, labor and resilience can challenge the odds that a fragile existence comes loaded with. So, you too can give flight to your imagination with some discarded lottery tickets by creating your own towering structure. If you want some more innovative arts and crafts ideas, take a look at these Origami patterns that are sure to impress you.

Snuggle Up in Winter with USB Heated Blanket

admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:22:06 +0000

The best way to enjoy winters is with hot brewed coffee, cozy blankets to hide in and long conversations with friends, but you can’t savor the flavor of this season if you end up having jittery jaws and a leaking nose. The USB Heated blanket is an innovative way to keep oneself comfortable in chilly weathers at least when around your the computer. The blanket gets powered from the USB jack and can be spread over any area where you want to feel the warmth. It’s excellent for folks who spend a lot of time cuddling up with their mean machines. Also office heaters sometimes can’t cater to the needs of every individual so it’s best to have your arrangements. So while a nice pepped-up pullover takes care of your upper body, this heat blanket is more than happy to keep your thighs warm, leaving you comfortable enough to give peaceful working hours. There are two USB ports, you can use one at a time for a Low temperature and plug in the second one also when the weather outside dips even more. It measures 31" L x 17" W and can be bought for just $24.99. What amuses me here is how a versatile technology of USB is teamed up with stuff like a heat blanket (that otherwise runs on electricity from a switchboard) to help you win over routine issues of life. For other cool USB stuff check out the Heart USB Hub, Lipstick USB Flash Drive and Slipper USB Drive.

Lisco: A USB Snake Bracelet Concept

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:15:05 +0000

A lot of computer peripherals these days inspire our witty designers to make accessories that not only make an excellent fashion statement but also suggest geeks are not ugly stinking creatures. A USB cellphone charging wrist accessory, hailed as Lisco, was probably born out of the same idea. Laurent Hongisto is the designer behind this USB snake which is not only a portable charging solution but also a trendy bracelet. It is basically an arty replacement to the Data Cable we use for syncing out phones with our computers, so you can transfer audio and video files while the exhausted phone battery inhales some power from your laptop. Its usage is not restricted to phones alone; you could also it to connect your portable HDDs and makes use of your files there. Lisco is actually a flexible USB cord that has a piece of colored leather veil around it. The USB plug sticking out from one of the ends is turn off for me. If only the whole thing could be disguised by means of zipper of something, it would have looked flawless and less crude. Also, cell phones of different brands and HDDs don’t have standard jack for pushing in the USB cable, so I wonder if it’s equipped to tackle this problem. No points for guessing this is just a concept and still has a long way to go before it can be materialized.

Create Your Own Herb Nursery With Power Plant Gadget!

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:51:52 +0000

Cooking buffs definitely know the importance of fresh herbs. But a constantly supply of the same is little difficult and having an array of earthen pots donning your herb plants is nothing less than a herculean task. Since technology has always taken up the baton of converting jeopardy into convenience, here comes the Power Plant Herb Garden. It’s actually a hydroponic reactor that is neat replacement to a pot and soil-bed, one of the basic requirements of growing plants. There is a spongy soil less medium that is set in the recess beneath the green lid. A nutrient mixture is poured in which has all the vitamins and minerals your green babies need to rise skywards. There are two versions here, one the toaster-like unit which I just described and the Pro Unit with optional Grow Light. The Pro Unit differs from its siblings for it does away with requirement of sunlight. It has its own apparatus to provide indoor sunlight which can speed up the growing process to 50% as against the natural source. The winged-out top has a low-wattage full-spectrum light bulb and light reflectors whereas the potted plant base offers rooms for seeds to shoot up. It can be adjusted to shelter plants up to 20 inches tall. The makers claim the both the versions are capable of growing anything which sprouts out of seeds. The best suited plants would be Italian Sweet Basil, Cilantro, Thyme, Peppers, Mini Tomatoes and Parsley. Check out the video after the jump that rolls out the entire procedure of using this product. Power plant Pro is for $80 whereas its parts can be bought separately.

USB Surgeon Flash Drives Double as Action Mini-figs too!

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 11:33:47 +0000

If you have enjoyed sitcoms like Scrubs, Grey’s anatomy and House that have their stories revolving around life in hospital, you’re bound to fall for these USB Surgeon Flash Drives. They have resemblance to Lego mini-figs and look cute with the green scrubs and mask. What I am particularly fond of is the detailed geeky look with the round spectacles. Another way you can relate actual Surgeons here is when the drive needs to be decapitated to open its USB end. When you have finished filling up its tummy with your files, you got to finish the surgery game by restoring its head. The surgeon outfit is just for fun sake and does not ship with any kind of medical lessons. The 4GB USB drives can be bought from USBGeek for as much as $22. The 4GB capacity is a bit of disappointment since industry standards speak of a minimum of 8GB and above these days, but I guess the action-figure-like attire makes up for it. USB Flash Drives have always been on the creative table and each one of them outsmarts another. For women, drives are hid inside chunky jewelry like the Apple Jewelry USB Flash Drive and Enigma USB Flash Drive Pendant or just duped as regular stuff like Lipstick USB Drive and Handbag Flash Drives.

Lady GaGa Barbie Dolls Are a Tad Weird

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:15:14 +0000

There is hardly any girl who hasn’t played with Barbie dolls or admired them in their childhood days. If you too belong to this league and would love to rekindle your childhood passion for Barbie - albeit with a difference, why not get a Lady GaGa Barbie doll? Designed by veik11, these Lady GaGa Barbie dolls are modeled on the American songwriter, singer, and performance artist – Lady Gaga. Just like Lady Gaga, these Barbie dolls have a look that’s similar to what this fashion icon and pop culture sensation showcases. With a Lady Gaga styled hair (with inputs and innovation from the artist though), these Barbie dolls look somewhat different from their usual looks that we are usually used to see. However, it sure makes it all the more interesting to see how music and fashion blends so effortlessly and we have Barbie dolls modeled on Lady Gaga, who is said to be inspired by fashion, which she insists is a vital element to her songwriting as well as performances. In case you want to know more about some other Barbie dolls that are different from the usual stuff, check out the Wicked Witch Barbie, Star Trek Barbie characters, or the beautiful Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds Doll.

CO2 Dress is a Beautiful Way To Sense Pollution

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:48:53 +0000

With the increasing population and mechanization, pollution is at its peak, but have you ever thought of any beautiful way to check the pollution, other than the mechanized detectors? A collaboration of diffus.dk, Alexandra Institute, The Danish Design School with Forster Rohner, an embroidery company has introduced a beautifully designed hot-tech pollution sensing dress to hit the runway. Beautifully designed and embroidered, the CO2 dress is featured with LED lights stitched with the embroidery work. The dress monitors the CO2 level and interprets the data with the twinkling LED light patterns. The main technology lies in the skillful construction of the dress by implementing soft circuit technologies like Lilypad Arduino. A microprocessor and CO2 sensor is required to place anywhere at the surrounding, may be hidden in your hair or kept anywhere in the room. The low level of Carbon Dioxide is marked with low pulsations, while with the increasing level of carbon Dioxide the pulsations also increase. The CO2 dress is no doubt the best match with today’s increasing pollution. It is moreover a refined concept among other wearable technologies. Featuring over 100 LED lights, this otherwise pretty dress talk about eco-friendly fashion responding to the presence of CO2 and thus has been a major light up to save our Earth.

To switch off the battery, simply reverse the twist. As this product is not yet manufactured by any company, you will have to create it yourself in case you are yearning to have your own GlowStick. Next in list is the MindStick from Mintpass which works pretty much like the GlowStick and differs from it slightly by way of its plastic design that houses the light-emitting diode (LED). If you are looking for something different than the LEDs, take a look at the ScentStick that would make you smell better with its liquid scent contained in a glass tube and packaged like the popular ChapStick lip balms. What’s more, if you don’t like the smell of the perfume that comes in the glass tube, you are free to refill the same with a perfume of your choice and smell exactly the way that you want to. Last on the list is a SharpStick, which can come handy to fend off mischief mongers as a sharp blade pops out immediately the moment you take off the lid. Packaged once again like the ChapStick lip balms, this gadget can even be used for cutting tapes and envelopes, not to mention acting as you own tiny and effective bodyguard.

Voltage Transformers Pigs that Look More Appealing Now!

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:29:38 +0000

Our dependence on electricity and gadgets continue to grow as the world progresses, though we have also brought in a better quality of life, the dependence never ends. Some examples are our dependence on inverters, converters and transformers. And when we use something so regularly, we always want it to look good and fit well into its surroundings, which is why these Mintrans Transformers have been pepped up to look more pleasing to the eye. They have been designed to add style to the decor in office or at home. These Mintpass Transformers come in two designs, one looks like a cute pink pig, and the other is a smart imitation of the supposedly grotesque looking pole transformers. They can convert 220 V to 110 V and thus have been called 'down-trans', they also come with an automatic conversion option in which the voltage need not be selected. More gadgets that can make our life more decorated and simpler are the Whimsical Wireless Switch and the Nesting Dolls Lights.

A Flash Drive Disguised as a Folder

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:30:49 +0000

One of the most common icons on our PC is the folder icon, and i just love it! Creating a new folder helps me organize my files and arrange them, I love it when the explorer shows those folders stacked one inside the other, the sense of a having a virtual cabinet which neatly and safely stores all your files is very satisfying. And all this because the folder icon is extremely pleasing to the eye. Now here is a flash drive disguised as a folder, and of course it does look cool. This Folderix flash drive has a posh look, comes in an Aluminum shell in three different colors and a laser engraved logo. I have been recently coming across several different kinds of flash drives, the simplest one I saw was without any decorative appeal, just the chip with four bars on it, a 4 GB drive, and for protecting that chip there was a coin sized circular rubber cover, wherein the chip is inserted. It is just too boring! I am sure it serves the purpose and satisfies people who think as long as a gadget serves the function, no matter how it looks. But I am also sure that most people would pick up a colorful looking folderix from Artlebedev as opposed to a dull and boring chip drive! After looking at these colorful Folderix flash drives, I also like the idea of having colored folders on my computer...wonder how can i make that happen? If you are fan of such iconic icons then you should also check out this My Documents Laptop Sleeve.

A Humidifier Inspired by Old Kettles

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:47:28 +0000

We humans do become nostalgic from time to time about certain things in life. A friend of mine once told me she gets very attached to inanimate objects and materialistic things, so she cannot let go of a lot of her old stuff, and if she has to she tries to find and buy the same again. This Mint Humidifier design from Mintpass which was inspired by old kettles also falls in the same category. Old kettles and their place in different cultures inspired the idea of this Kettle like Mint Humidifier. This Mint Humidifier produces cold and smoggy steam and has a lid on top just like normal kettles do. It is advised not to get too nostalgic and forget to leave the humidifier safely away from you while you get into bed, or you might end up with a lot of moisture in your bed. But this Mint Humidifier does show that it is much more than a kettle replica, take a look at the range of colors that you can choose from... If you are looking for more kitchen accessories then you should take a look at the Electrolux Cooker and the Calf and Half Creamer.

Museum Table Lamp is Functional Architecture

It does look like an abstract decorative object placed to enhance the appeal of a typical modern apartment. But it is in fact a Museum Table Lamp design, and the New York Times has called it 'Functional Architecture for our night table'. I think it is a befitting title for this new age lamp. This New Museum Table Lamp from Thinkofthe is a laser cut design made up of translucent white acrylic with a white fluorescent bulb inside. It is priced at $1200.

This new lamp will fit very well into the modern looking apartment in any city. If you are interested in lamp designs then you should take a look at the New Turn On-Off Lamp and the Frosted Scroll Solar Lanterns.

Gear Crank Wall Clock is Second Life for Bike's Metal Junk

Police Woman High Heels are Too Sexy for a Cop

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:07:25 +0000

There have been many that think a Woman in a Police Officer's uniform is a sexy combination, and with these new Police Women High Heels shoe designs, this statement is closer to being a proven fact. [caption id="attachment_3132" align="alignnone" width="486" caption="sexy police woman shoe design"] The new 3D Stiletto Police high heels, which were designed by Tim Cooper, simply look aboslutely amazing. Besides the fact that they are well designed, created and presented, they truly make the idea of a uniformed Police Woman as a sexy prospect. If you are a man, then you can easily wish your Woman will wear such heels when you are alone. If you are women, then you could probably be proud that such items were designed and have a little more 'girl power' to believe in and be completely proud of.

[/caption] The Stiletto Poilce Woman Heels have been designed with high detail including the bright and colorful Police car lights that can make any person's heart drop. Moreover, there are also the side mirrors and front bumper that make it even more like the normal, yet sexy Police cars we try to avoid. Furthermore, there are the numbering on the side of the shoe, the "Police" sign that flashes strong, the dual mufflers, and even the back grills that add so much to the detail and coolness of this shoe design. [caption id="attachment_3134" align="alignnone" width="486" caption="cool police woman shoes"][/caption] Of course, this is just a design, yet I cannot help but see such a Shoe make it in the real world...at least as a costume fashion item. Moreover, I would think that many Women would feel empowered if wearing such a shoe. In the end, those that respect the Law, may look at this as a Fashion Item, but then again, the ones that have no respect will look at the show as another thing that tries to give power where there is too much...but with an increased sex appeal.

No Spout and Handle for this Teapot Concept!

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:12:01 +0000

Be it a tech gadget or a simple eggbeater in your kitchen, a piece of furniture or clothing accessory, there isn’t anything whose configuration has not been touched by science magnates or ace designers. Well, looks like a makeover for our conventional teapot too was long overdue. The Tea Pot Design by Martin Ortiz does the needful, by parting the traditional kettle look with a spout and handle and embodying a design new to human race. Well, I can’t figure out how this tea pot is going to cater to your morning caffeine needs. There are some Chinese letters painted on its sides in green and black color which probably spell out ancient tea formula. Or this could just be an effort of the designer to experiment with the shape and toss out a non-functional concept. For Chinese themed interiors, this could be a nice souvenir to fill up spaces. Like the fate of most artistic designs, we don’t have any information on its availability and price. It’s interesting to see a teapot give up the kettle look and a humidifier borrowing it for a renovation like in Mint Humidifier.

A USB Watch Or Something More Than That

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:31:23 +0000

This USB watch (at least I think it is one) from Dialog05 is something of an enigma. The watch itself has a USB jack, which is confusing in itself, but frankly I don't think that is the only thing that is different about the Status. As you can see, there is a little bar for hours and another blue bar for minutes, which leads me to think that it IS indeed a watch, but then the caption on the website leads to the confusion. According to the description of the Status this "watch" makes "40 seconds last for three minutes". This is truly the source of my confusion. They then bring in the concept of time being a relative quantity, which works perfectly fine, but I'm not sure if I would buy a watch that would make me wonder if I am on time or not. Having said that, I must say, this watch looks like it is straight out of a science fiction movie. The kind where you press a button on the watch and it vaporizes the enemy. This totally appeals to me. I just wish I knew where I could buy myself one. If you're looking out to buy a new watch that is not only cool, but will also baffle you, you should consider the Status, but if you prefer something more conventional then maybe you should try the Negative Watch?

A Cute Bird Macbook Decal

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:09:08 +0000

Laptops were designed to be used on the go, and thus computers which occupied an entire room several decades ago can now be carried around just as easily as you would carry your cellphone. With time, laptops have become so advanced that a couple of decades ago no one could have imagined so much of processing power could be stashed inside a thin notebook like gadget.

Milk Bottle Lamp Designs: Exclusive Second Life for Glass Bottles

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:59:35 +0000

Art is known to derive inspiration from just anything and since it is subjective, you can’t slap the argument of rationality in its face. But yet, I would still ask could ever imagine discarded milk bottles could be turned into pretty innovative lighting accessories? Well, to everybody’s awe, the answer is Milk Bottle Lamp, a cluster ceiling lights those scores on both innovation and environment consciousness. Here, the set up is created by populating any corner of the room with 12 standard milk bottles. This isn’t something that comes with “do-it-by-yourself” kit, you got to have professional folks to help you install this. Recycling is one of the acceptable and conventionally followed ways to deal with glass, but this is something that you don’t stumble upon every day. The price tag of $1,699 does make this a pricey affair. If I was to consider downsizing, I would try to figure out a way to myself fix lights inside the bottles, paint them and make customized sets for each of my rooms, like red lights for yellow painted walls.

Well, with respect to clock either on your walls or side tables, you really can’t run out of options, but the Color Pattern Clock is not something that you would stumble upon easily. The one-of-its-kind time piece does away with hands and digital numbers. It has a LED panel divided into four sections, the first two indicating the hour and the last two is for the minutes. The Clock will pull up illuminated colored squares and you got to count them to know the time. As in the image, the clock reads 12:45. I personally think this clock scores less on convenience parameters.. You got to be perfectly in your senses to read out the time. You can be groggy or without your pair of glasses. But if one wishes to bring something out-of-the-box onboard, I guess one has to sometimes tweak with “ease-of-use” features. It has three brightness settings to blend in with any lighting environment. Since knowing the time would be all about counting color squares here, the clock can be viewed either vertically or horizontally. You could either place it on your desk or mount in on your walls. Like most table clocks, this doesn’t run on batteries. It is available for as much as $60 and the AC adapter is included. If you’re considering more options for innovative time-telling accessories, check out the Talking Alarm Clock, Gear Crank Wall Clock and Felix Wall Clock.

This type of printing does away with the conventional apparatus of paper and ink, instead designs are printed with a laser, adding layer upon layer until the intricately detailed object is formed. With so much thought and hi-tech manufacturing concentrated in just one ceiling light, it makes me wonder how it would be to actually have something so arty around us. Well, I need not say that it would be just a waste of time to justify its steep price tag of $579.

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:05:29 +0000

Just like human beings, water makes up for 80% of your pet. The unbeatable summer heat and lack of fresh water could take a toll on your pet’s health so much that even it loses one-tenth of total body water, it may have to deal with numerous health problems. So here is something that lets you be a responsible pet owner: the Continuously Freshening Pet Drinking Water Fountain. Conceptualized by a veterinarian and an animal behaviorist, this water bowl continuously circulates water and attracts pets to drink more. This helps in avoiding troubles of dehydration, urinary tract infection and kidney diseases in pets. There is also an intrinsic purifier which is further divided into two sections. The pre-filter takes care of the large particles whereas the three-layer charcoal filter removes smaller purities. The whole set up has the quietest pump available and has a soft adjustable flow that would not scare your pets away. It has a large reservoir that stashes up to one gallon of water thereby avoiding the hassles of frequent refilling. The makers have made the bowl easy to clean and dishwasher safe. It runs on AC power so make sure the wire job is done neatly to avoid any accidents. For as much as $70, I think it is not much to ask for keeping your pet in pink of health.

Hi-Sun : A Multi-Tasking Beach Towel with Speakers

admin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 09:26:59 +0000

We all know what a beach towel is, it’s a brightly colored cloth which is an essential part of our luggage when we’re going vacationing on a beach. What it isn’t, however, is an entertaining device which can be used for anything else apart from spreading on the sand to lie down or wiping ourselves. But then again we are talking about an ordinary beach towel which desires to be much more. hi-Sun however strives to be different and more than just a beach towel. With multi-tasking paving the way for the future, a beach towel is something that also can be experimented with. And hi-Sun is the result of one such experiment. Breaking away from the mold of an ordinary towel, hi-sun is every beach lover’s and camper’s dream realized. Apart from being a towel, hi-Sun is also a backpack which comes equipped with a pair of speakers. Very often a trip to the beach involves carrying a big load of things like towel, a bag for the towel, Mp3 player, earphones etc. What hi-sun does is that it eliminates all the other things to make your trip more convenient and of course much lighter. You can spread hi-sun on the lounge chair or sand to lie down and along with that it has speakers which are attached to a small pillow-like casing on which you can lay down your head. The speakers come with 3.5mm universal point with which you can plug-in your iPhone, iPod or any other player which has a 3.5mm universal jack. The amplified speakers can be easily recharged through an integrated USB port and have a longer lasting lithium battery which enables you to play your favorite music for hours without stopping to change the battery. So that means uninterrupted quality entertainment and that too without the fuss of carrying spare batteries. The good thing about this towel is that it can be washed whenever you want without damaging the speakers which are removable. The towel can be stowed away easily as it folds into a neat and compact camping bag. It is made from 100% cotton and comes in colors red, blue, black and pink. Though beach lovers will rejoice at the idea of this invention, some might be a little skeptical to pay more money for just a towel that they can buy for less than half the price. But whatever anyone’s opinion might be, hi-sun is sure to win hearts all over by being so much more than just an ordinary beach towel. Wasn't this cool?

ABC Flexible Book : Electronic Learning Experience for the Kids

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:32:09 +0000

Learning when combined with an audio visual medium proves to be doubly effective. If this is adopted from the early years of learning a strong base is developed which can never be shaken in future. Designer Roberto Reyes seems to understand this aspect of learning very well and has come up with this wonderful learning book for children. This is no ordinary book that you could have come across till now. ABC Flexible Book is a book that combines the activities of reading and writing for the child. Flexible here does not mean flexibility in form but in the method of usage. It has everything that you could want your child to have to learn the very basics of the English language. After all if you do not know your ABC how do you go on to make a word and later sentences? The carry along electronic book opens like any other book and physically contains only two pages, the cover pages. Built inside each of these cover pages are numerous electronic pages that contain a storehouse of learning for beginners. On the inside of both cover pages is a screen, each one different in texture. On the left screen is displayed a letter, word or phrase. The right side presents an animation of the letter on the left teaching the method to write it. With a plastic net covering it creates a texture to be felt and traced by the child. Along with it a microphone over the screen pronounces the letter or word that is displayed. The child hears and observes each letter, word or phrase displayed on the screens and at the same time practices it out on his own. Since the ABC Flexible Book involves the three senses of sight, hearing and touch distraction is not possible and hence leads to complete involvement of the child ensuring successful learning. Being an electronic device it needs to be switched on and the button can be found under the left screen. Navigation from one page to another is controlled by the arrow shaped navigation buttons under the right screen. The electronic book that combines both a reading book as well as a workbook is a new step in the field of teaching. Where everything is going electronic why leave behind children material. Roberto Reyes, in his profile mentions designing goods of children as one of his favorite tasks and this little piece of creation definitely proves his point. This certainly was a complete new way of learning for children. Paper Art Train Art Balloons and Origami are few other products that you would like to know about.

Paper Darwin Chair with Multiple Cover Design Pages Is Futuristic

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:30:51 +0000

Thanks to technology and immediate environmental concerns we are witnessing rare and innovative designs of furniture and home décor items which are extremely futuristic. We all love to give makeover to our homes but changing furniture and decor do weigh a lot on wallet and green conscience. Here is an amazing “Darwin Chair” which is essentially extremely minimalist in structure but offers nearly 200 cover design pages and all that one has to do is to flip over the paper to reveal a new intricate pattern. The Darwin Chair design has been created New York based graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister for the dutch design company droog. This chair design is extremely futuristic because it is made of simple swinging structure and 200 printed sheets of Tyvek, which is essentially recyclable, light weight and durable paper-like fabric created by Dupont. Best part is all 200 prints are abstract designs with human evolution as a theme and each flipped page adds as headrest. So the chair actually evolves through creation of universe to human life and of course the intricate graphic designs tell amazing tale of digital revolution too. In the present context of economic recession and extreme environmental degradation it seems only such innovative modern furniture design can restrict us from being wasteful without compromising on home décor. Are you seriously looking for some interesting furniture designs? Have you seen Wood Stump Furniture or Hanging Babylon Fireplace?

Multipurpose Puppo Chair Can be Converted into a Table, Footrest, and Storage Space

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 11:03:04 +0000

21st century can be safely termed as the age of “many-in-one”. We are simply not happy with a product that serves just one function because we want more from everything. A phone is also a camera, video recorder; Mp3 player etc. an alarm clock is also an FM radio; ovens are also a grill and toasters, so on and so forth. There are many instances such as the ones mentioned which clearly indicate our need to have more from every product. So when everything offers to be much more than what it is supposed to be, why should a chair be left behind? And this is exactly the point Mladen Milosevic and Vuk Dragovik have tried to prove with their Puppo chair design. The Puppo chair is a compact form of a chair which can be converted into a table, footrest and also storage space. Ideal for people who have limited space in their homes and wish do a lot more with that small space. With smart design and pleasing looks, Puppo can be a little charmer which can brighten up any area. Since it takes up very little room, places like offices and dorms can efficiently use the Puppo chair without crowding up the place. With just a few adjustments and changes the chair magically transforms into a table and a footrest. The backrest of the chair is pushed forward and then rotated to change the chair into a table. The space below the seat of the chair can be used for storing things. The design and looks are simple yet charming which make the chair not only useful as a multi-tasking device but also a great thing to decorate the interiors with. So now you not only have a table and storage space but also can boast about beautiful interiors thanks to Puppo. And because its design allows it to become quite compact, it can be easily shifted from one place to another. Milosevic and Dragovic’s design is a great idea for saving on the storage space, but comfort is something that can be a problem with Puppo chair. Since it is made of plastic and has no armrests, sitting on it for longer time periods can induce back-aches or discomfort. Also the storage area is just one big space without any shelves and columns so the things that are stored can become disorganized. Puppo is a great concept for smaller spaces or for people who are looking for something more from a chair, but its usability in everyday life remains to be seen. Few other designs that you might want to know more about are Paper Darwin Chair and Wood Stump Furniture.

Smart Fridge Concept Can Cook Food For You

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:57:38 +0000

In this age of technology when ideas are pouring in from all quarters and in all streams of life, why leave out the kitchen and cooking appliances. Ashley Legg’s concept of a Smart Fridge, if turned to reality, can prove to be great boon to all those who are new to cooking, or are too pressed for time to cook, or plainly hate cooking but have to. Though it is still in concept stage, the smart fridge won’t take long before turning into a reality, similar to many other gadgets that have been extracted from fiction and pushed into our daily lives. Conceptualized by Ashley Legg, the visual impressions of the gadget have been done by Yanko Designs. Purposes of the smart fridge are quite a few: track the ingredients available inside it, make a menu list of all that can be prepared with the available ingredients, and give a step-by-step instruction of the dish being prepared. The Smart Fridge also tells you when you are running low on a particular ingredient. Sounds cool, isn’t it? Let us see how this is supposed to work. The glass looking front of the fridge is in fact an electro chromic panel. This means that at the press of a button the front can change from opaque to transparent and vice verse. It is this front that acts as an interface for you. All that you need to do is stock up this smart refrigerator with the ingredients that can be required over a time period. Using the front door interface, you ‘tell’ your fridge all that you have entered. When it is time to prepare a meal simply use the interface to ‘ask’ the fridge all that can be prepared using what is available. With a digital eye the ingredients are quickly scanned and a menu is displayed. Now it is up to you to decide what to cook. Do not worry about the process, just go ahead and make up your mind. Once decided, ‘inform’ the fridge about your decision and let Smart Fridge guide you through the process. All you need to do is follow the step-by-step instructions and your meal is ready. Cooking could not have been simpler. The concept is great and the design looks awesome but there is a downside of this entire idea. Cooking need not necessarily involve ingredients only from a fridge. In fact almost all preparations call for some kind of seasoning and flavoring, i.e. either sugar or salt is required. Such ingredients are not stored in the fridge. In the absence of these ingredients will the fridge be able to prepare a menu of possible meals? Probably the brains behind this concept will give a thought to this side of cooking and come up with a solution. Till then we can admire the concept and wait for its arrival.

This Ice Cream Cone Fan is Too Hard To Resist

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 12:15:08 +0000

Design adds color to life. It gives a new dimension to our feelings and emotions. Even a minor modification in a simple day-to-day used product can bring about a smile on ones face. And this holds true in case of children as well as grown ups. Take for example a small product like a hand held pocket fan. A fresh new design for a pocket fan is on the shelves and this little thing tickles the child hidden deep inside all of us. Probably it was the child in the designer that thought about this ice-cream cone shaped fan. In the true colors of an ice-cream, the fan can manage to bluff anyone for a split second, but the fan blades attached to the cream portion give away its true identity. The ice cream cone fan has a very simple mechanism that you would find in any other pocket fan and requires 2 AA batteries. Since the batteries are included you can use it straight out of the box. The product might be just a fan, but at the same time concern has been given to a customer’s personal choice of flavor. You can choose from among the three most popular flavors – vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. However, make sure you control yourself and try not to lick it. The foam blades will not hurt you physically but you might cause heads to turn. The foam blades make the product absolutely safe for children as well. Ice cream has been everybody’s favorite since ages. It is this love for ice-cream that inspires products to be designed around it. The ice cream fan may be the latest entrant but at some point of time we have all come across some or the other product resembling an ice cream shape. Erasers, ice cream cone guns, bubble solutions in ice cream cone shaped jars, an ice-cream cone punch, cone shaped timers, jewelry, containers and the list goes on. If noticed closely, the range of products are not only for children but equally for adults as well. After all, you do not need to be a child to enjoy ice cream. The ice cream cone fan is one ice cream shaped product that performs part of its primary function – like a real ice cream this one too cools you down. But the best part is that this cooling is achieved without gaining a single calorie. A completely zero calorie ice cream, what more do you need? Enjoy one whole scoop of ice cream minus calories. Best part...it is only $7.99. Interesting, isn't it? Take a look at these - Night Bug Light Lamp and Disco Chair to know more about such stuff.

The Interpol Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock is Intelligent and Impressive

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:56:49 +0000

It can be quite frustrating and intensely maddening when we are locked out of our own home. We might have forgotten our keys, or the keys are jammed, or the door just won’t budge. The high-end digital locks that are protected by passwords can also play truant if you forget the password or if there is a problem with the keypad. We have an exciting, next generation lock that seems straight out of a James Bond movie. The Interpol biometric fingerprint door lock (the name itself should impress you), is a safe secure door lock that requires neither keys nor memory to remember passwords. It uses the owner’s unique fingerprint to unlock the door. Years of research and testing, coupled with millions of dollars spent in development, led to the birth of the Interpol biometric fingerprint door lock. With this highly intelligent door lock, the owner will always gain entry while the thieves stay out. The Interpol door lock looks like a normal door lock. It has an elongated rectangular frame with a curved lever jutting out. The similarity with regular door locks ends here. The interior of the fingerprint lock is fitted with an 8-chip fingerprint processor circuit. The processor runs a patented fingerprint identification algorithm that instantly identifies the owner’s fingerprint, regardless of the angle in which the finger is placed. The processor circuit is protected by a dust proof, waterproof, anti-corrosion, and antistatic design that guarantees stability and reliability. One of the best features of this next generation lock is its fingerprint scanner. You may have read about fingerprint devices that stop functioning or fail to read fingerprints after constant usage. Property owners would have no such complain with the Interpol biometric fingerprint door lock. Featuring a radical new display technology known as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, the fingerprint door lock does not face any of the problems commonly associated with fingerprint readings. PVD technology is a self-cleaning surface that eliminates any chance of a failed or false fingerprint reading. Experts claim that the error rate is under 0.0001% The Interpol fingerprint lock is intelligent, reliable, and tough as a tusker too. With a heavy gauge cast steel body, the lock is virtually impenetrable like an army tank. Considering its heavy-duty body and intelligent processing circuit, owners would find the Interpol door lock as easy to use as a regular door lock. Though priced at $300, if you wish to keep your property safe and secure, the next generation Interpol lock would definitely impress you. This is indeed a smart way to keep away thieves from your house. Also, go through Portable Spotlight and Wall Mounted Hand Hook.

The Sorapot: Tea-Drinkers Around The World, Rejoice!

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:42:39 +0000

You may not be much of a tea drinker. You may even be such a caffeine addict to such a degree that the word “Tea” incites snorts and groans! Whatever the case, no one can deny that the Sorapot, which is a teapot as the name suggests is incredibly stunning to look at!

Designed by Joey Roth, his vision The Sorapot, fulfills his need for sustainability and there are two kinds available: Brushed at just $200 which reflects light very subtly on its matte surface, thereby accentuating the artistic geometry of its architectural shape or Mirror Polished at just $250, which means that it is hand-polished to perfection and will be well accentuated by darker teas and natural light! Made from 304 pure stainless steel, borosilicate glass (Pyrex) and food-grade silicone, its components don’t affect the tea’s flavor. The Sorapot also comes with a beautiful teacup and breaks free of the traditional tea-pots that we are accustomed to using. The best way to describe this modern tea-pot is by comparing it to fine wine, because like fine wine, it gets even better as it ages, by developing a gorgeous sheen based on how it is held and cleaned. Also, unlike regular tea-pots which confine tea leaves, the Sorapot’s interiors allow the tea-leaves to mesmerizingly unfurl while turning hot water into tea. For some more fun the Fan Shaped Ice Cream Cone is also one to look out for along with the Absinthe Fountain Set.

Sorapot's packaging is made from recycled-cardboard and molded paper-pulp in keeping with its natural look. It’s reasonably priced and let’s face it, drinking tea has never been this stylish!

Infectious Light: When Light Bulbs Influence Each other

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 09:38:35 +0000

Imagine being in a room lit with small empyrean lights all over and that too without the fuss of wires. It’s hard to imagine a room like that, isn’t it? With Julien Bergignat’s new design this idea is more tangible and a close reality. Very aptly called as the Infectious Light, this lighting system is unlike something that we have ever seen before and something that will change the way we illuminate our surroundings. Made out of soft gelatinous silicon material, the light comes with several bulbs which when attached to one another can be used as a single lamp or when spread apart can be used as separate sources of small light bulbs. The way these light bulbs function is exactly the reason for their name. These bulbs run through a battery and have the ability to sense each other when placed close by and light up in each other’s presence. Of these several bulbs, a couple of them are the “Mother” lights and the others are named as the “Baby” lights. The baby bulbs light up only when the mother lights are placed close to them or when the mother lights are somewhere in the vicinity. So when a mother light is close to a baby light it “infects” the baby light and hence enables it to light up in the same color as itself. Baby lights don’t necessarily have to be next to the mother light and if spread across the room will light up if the mother bulb is nearby. Though the concept is a masterpiece in its own, Bergignat’s design did face the quandary of charging the lights and to overcome this problem a Luminous Tree was devised. The luminous tree basically allows the bulbs to be charged together with convenience and for that only one single charging unit is needed. The luminous tree looks like a lamp made out of several wires which when connected to an electrical output charge the bulbs together. Winner of the IF Awards China, the Infectious Light is something that every homeowner will aspire to have. Its ethereal design not only makes this illuminating device an object of desire but the fact that it combines both good-looks with easy functionality makes it all the more fascinating. Needless to say that Julien Bergignat’s design is going to “infect” everyone with its charm and will go on to become a sensation.

Apple’s done it again. And no, I’m not talking about the incredible iPad or a redefined iPod. This time, a new concept has surfaced with the MacView, which is a multimedia tablet that is ultra stylish and absolutely gorgeous to look at – for lack of a better description.

The Macview conceptual design, created by Patrycjusz Brzezinski, comes not only with one but two touch screens and is not just a slab of aluminum glued to glass or a large iPhone. On the contrary what makes this invention absolutely genius is that it incorporated a “Slider” design and is made out of carbon fiber materials. This means that it can be used either as a tablet or the slider section which also functions as the display can be switched to become a smaller sub-display section which acts as a personal library and allows you to view virtually anything right from a cover-flow view of files or songs or a full sized virtual keyboard when you pull it out a bit further. The best part about the MacView is that besides being lightweight with a thickness of just 0.7cm, it has an LED screen and an additional LCD which can be used as a keyboard or anything else. It also lets you view anything you wish to during the day by allowing you to view all your books and text files and makes them easily and readily available to you and is glare free! It wont be as fancy as our iPhone App Magnet or the ABC Flexible Book.

So, Step aside iPad, because there’s a new tablet in town!

A Cook Book for Storing Knifes and Chopping Board

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:02:03 +0000

The two most important things in the kitchen every woman needs are a chopping board and a set of fine knives. These two things are simply indispensable and nothing can ever replace them. But often storing the knives and the chopping board becomes a problem because no matter what you do, storing them together is never possible. But with Arianna Vivenzio’s new design, Book Cook, you needn’t worry about their storage anymore. A Book Cook is basically a clever design which incorporates storage for knives, a chopping board and a recipe book, all together in one place. Shaped like a big book, it is made out of solid Beech wood and has a very mild beige color. When the book is opened, it turns into a chopping board of substantial width which is then ready to use. Inside the folded chopping board is the recipe book which you can use to write and store your favorite recipes and between the pages of that book the knives can be wedged inside easily. To clasp them tightly together, a rubber belt is provided which can be wrapped around the book to secure the knives and recipe book safely inside. Though the Book Cook may seem like a very useful thing to have around its weaknesses are its biggest disadvantages. The problem with its design is the fact that there is no specific space for storing the knives in the Book Cook and they just have to be wedged inside the pages of the recipe book. Also since they have to be stored between the pages, it has to be made sure they are always dry and washed whenever they are inserted inside so that they don’t ruin the pages of the recipe book. This can be a problem especially if you are in a hurry. All said and done the concept of a book that can be used as a chopping board and storage space for knives is a great idea but the design itself leaves a lot to be desired. Many changes in the design must be brought about in order to make it useful for the woman of today. If you have liked this, you will go gaga about Autonomous Saucier and Digital Measuring Cup.

The Despicable Me Characters on the Nails

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:03:15 +0000

The plan to come up with 365 nail designs in 365 days is a task in itself, but the Daily Nail blogger is making it look easy and quite fun. And this time the theme is the comic animation movie Despicable Me. Taking on the characters of the movie as the inspiration for her new design, the nail designer has given innovation in the beauty industry a whole new meaning. Though the designs are nothing more than the faces of the characters in the movie, they look absolutely fresh and adorable and the fun and frisky use of a variety of colors does make them eye-catching. On the nails of the fingers are painted the minions and on the nail of the thumb is the silhouette of the lead character of the movie, Gru. For the base of her fingers China Glaze Happy Go Lucky has been used and Zoya Jancyn is for the base for the thumb. The minions’ base has been done with Pure Ice French Kiss and to give the effect of jeans that minions wear in the movie, a mixture of Pure Ice French Kiss and Orly Snowcone has been used. Apparel Hassid, American Apparel Factory Grey, and Pure Ice French kiss have been used to design the goggles, buttons and the chest logo. The same shades have also been used for the eyes and the pupil as well. To give the tongue a proper shade a mixture of Essie Foot Loose, American Apparel Cotton and CND Electric Orange with a hint of A Beautiful Life Poison have been used and the final result looks splendid. The Gru silhouette is done with Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud to give it a little edge. The finishing touch is provided with two coats of Seche Vite top coat which give a shiny varnishing effect to the whole design. The idea of nail art using movie characters as inspiration is very different from what we normally see but also something which comes like a breath of fresh air. The minion designs are lively and they owe their fun-loving demeanor to the abundant and clever use of a variety of colors. The Gru silhouette on the other hand lacks the spark that was expected from it. Rather than a boring silhouette the lead character of the movie should have had its face painted on the nail. Difficulty in the designing Gru’s face can be the reasonable explanation for the silhouette design instead. But all in all the tedious work on the minions has to be lauded for the sheer effort. Something that all the movie-lovers and nail art lovers are going to be crazy about, the Despicable Me characters are sure to be the new rage thanks to the Daily Nail!

The Snow White Andromeda Watch Flaunts Attitude and Style

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:42:38 +0000

This is one watch any woman out there would love to sport on her slender wrist. This is one watch that gives ‘girl attitude’ a whole new meaning. Covered in a winter-white body with a blood-red LED display, the ‘Andromeda’ watch is a product of the eclectic Japanese imagination. With simplicity and attitude woven together in a knockout design, the watch could not have been designed elsewhere, except for Japan. The watch has a plush strap, snow white in color with a straw-mat design on the exterior. The inner lining of the strap is skin friendly vinyl. The retro vinyl strap is broad, bold and makes a distinctive style statement. The LED display of the watch has ruby red digital on a marble white panel. Images from Snow White, where the Queen pricks her hand and drops of blood fall on the snow, immediately spring to mind. Also, the design aesthetic of red on white appeals instantly to the eye. Andromeda’s LED display is structured differently. Two rectangular tablets are joined together in the middle. The upper rectangle tells the time, the lower rectangle keeps the date. Two push buttons, one on each rectangle, is provided to adjust the time and date. There is quite a back-story to this piece of girl fashion. Andromeda is said to be from a future where women rule the roost. The guys have been relegated to an ineffectual minority. The women who rule society are a clan of female assassins not afraid to let their swords do the talking. Such a radical feminist future would probably exist only in fantasy literature. The Andromeda, however, is real and is blessed with the spunk and badass attitude of female fatales. Sporting an Andromeda will double your seductive prowess; men will go weak in their knees offering you diamonds and fancy cars. The watch can also come with a ‘don’t mess with me’ tag. If you are partying with your girlfriends and some sleek, smart ass fella tries to act fresh with you, just flash your Andromeda. The fella would be apologizing to you in no time. An Andromeda oozes sexuality, confidence, and attitude. Stevie Nicks, Natalie Merchant, and Liona Boyd are said to posses this beautiful white watch. If you don’t wish to possess a piece, the snow white watch could be the perfect gift item for your girlfriend, and it is priced under $16. Do you wish to learn more about such attractive designs?

Rocket Girl Is Here To Take Us By Storm!

admin — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:05:57 +0000

Norio Fujikawa’s “Rocket Girl” maintains its playfulness and brings the beauty of art as well. The San Francisco based designer Norio Fujikawa is the man behind many concept toys. He brought the very cool “Rocket Boy”, and now he brings to us the “Rocket Girl”.

The best thing about his designs is that they are not just simple toys, but an expression of a very high level of art and creativity. As a second generation Japanese living in America, he grew up enjoying various manga and anime comics.

The inspiration from the manga and anime characters is hard to miss, and I must say he has translated those images into these 3D creatures very well. It has a cute girl with a helmet and a super awesome rocket back-pack fitted behind her ready to blast of any moment. Just speaking from an aesthetic point of view, the toys have very clean lines, but the detailing makes it stand out.

But at the end of the day it is a toy, and a toy isn’t a toy if it doesn’t have elements of playfulness in it. And this very arty toy has that as well. Though it is still in the concept stage, I would love to see it being transformed into tangible reality. And when it does, it would be a must-have in every collectors list.

The Deadly Cuddly Bear!

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:17:31 +0000

Another cute little thing from Norio Fujikawa! The man has really made a standing for himself by creating some amazing toys.

His most famous creations have been “Rocket Boy” and “Rocket Girl”, but today we will be talking about another very cute toy, simply called “Bear”. Do not get fooled by this cute, cuddly bear and Beware...it has a gun! Seems like quite a contradiction. But that is what sets this bear apart. It is modelled in Alias, and has been rendered in Hypershot. The toy is quite an interesting sight. The main feature is the bear with a smile on its face, but the thing that catches your attention pretty soon is the gigantic gun it is holding. I mean the gun is almost one-third the size of the bear itself! The gun itself looks like something from a sci-fi movie. The last accessory is the backpack, probably having some ammo. The bear in the pictures have the bear in two colors, one in yellow and the other one in light orange. That is definitely one cute but deadly bear. If looks could kill. Swear Teddy's are again so cute.

Musical Circuit Dress is Innovative but Uncomfortable

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:41:08 +0000

When it comes to apparels there have been experiments carried out in various ways. Designers have gone to great lengths to showcase their talent and imagination. Not only is the material cut and stitch in numerous methods, thereby creating a variety of dresses but also the material itself has been experimented with in several ways. We have seen dresses made out of animal skin, leather, paper, leaves and of course cloth. What else do you think could be next in line? Give a wild guess keeping in mind that it is the age of technology. If you have guessed it right it is a dress using circuit boards. Nicky Assmann, an artist and a student of music, spent four months wiring up a Musical Circuit Dress. There are 35 circuit boards in all that have been stitched together to give it the shape of a dress. Assmann is said to have liked the look of the circuits and this led her to design a dress using them. In fact it is not just any ordinary dress just to be worn but serves as a musical piece as well. Making use of the concept of deliberate short-circuiting, a variety of sounds is produced. The twelve coils that have been incorporated into the dress can be played when one coil is connected to the other using finger copper plates. As mentioned the dress is made of circuits and when the fingers explore the dress musical, compositions are produced. And all these sounds can be heard from the two speakers installed on the front of the dress. For so many functions the dress needs to have a source of energy and this is provided by the batteries fit inside the outfit. This is a dress made of circuits, 35 in number, and the weight a wearer is supposed to carry is 20 pounds. To support these 20 pounds there has to be some strong material and this is done using electric cables. Not only do the cables help support the dress but at the same time are used to rewire the circuit-bended boards from back to front.This is a dress made of circuits, 35 in number, and the weight a wearer is supposed to carry is 20 pounds.

Not only do the cables help support the dress but at the same time are used to rewire the circuit-bended boards from back to front. Like many other dresses designed by designers and showcased on the ramp, this one too cannot be included in ones daily wear, or may be could never be worn by anyone. This however, is an expression of a person passionate about technology. To put it in the word of Aasmann herself, “Clothing can be considered a second skin and by implementing technology in it, you are bringing it into your intimate space.” The idea of creating the Musical Circuit Dress was to bring to the forefront that part of technology that is considered to be ugly – the circuits.

iJerry : A Cute Surface Vibration Speaker

admin — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:06:12 +0000

iJerry – two little ears, two little feet and a very long tail. Yes, it resembles a mouse and is also named after a mouse. But hold on, it is not any ordinary mouse but a companion for various occasions. We are talking about the new iJerry Surface Vibration Speaker. Having a 124mm height and 70mm diameter iJerry is just a little bigger than any ordinary mouse but a lot more powerful. Being a surface vibration speaker it causes the surface it stands on to vibrate thereby converting that particular surface into a sound enhancing speaker. All that you would need to take care of would be to place the speakers on a hard surface for you will not get the desired effect on a soft surface. There is an inbuilt memory of 2GB to store and play music. But the best part is that iJerry can be connected to just about any digital media player to play the music stored on that system. It can be a laptop, mobile phone, ipod, or a desktop computer. All that needs to be done is connect iJerry with the other system using a USB connector. The resonance loud speaker can be used by connecting any media player to the iJerry speaker using a 3.5mm audio cable. It is compatible with anything like an iPhone, MP3, MP4, MP5, MP6, DVD player, stereo system, mobile phones and any other portable digital player. The inbuilt FM radio ensures that you do not have to rely upon connecting to a device always. Music is available at any point of time. As cool are its looks so are its functions. The two ears are not just for decoration but have their own roles to play. You would need to pull these two lovable ears to alter the volume and also change the music track. Music can be played by pressing the top front portion. On the back of iJerry are three slots – USB, 3.5mm audio and power. Each pack of an iJerry Surface Vibration Speaker is accompanied with a power adapter, free travel adapter, USB cable, 3.5mm audio cable, a tail and a CD manual. The only one thing that goes against the speaker is the fact that it does not have an inbuilt battery. This limits its portability and confines it indoors making it rely upon an external power source. But considering its many positive features this little drawback can be negated. Having a 100watt speaker power and an 80db sensitivity, iJerry surely defies its size. Own it at $43.70 to believe it. Are you eager to know more about such gadgets?

i-Mo Resonance Speakers are Small but Powerful

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:15:22 +0000

Speakers have long broken the confines of being traditional and boring. You can get speakers in any shape that you want and in any color that you desire. But what makes i-Mo Resonance Speakers different is their ability to turn anything that they are placed on into a speaker. Amazing isn’t it? Amazing is the only word that can describe i-Mo. The resonance speakers are sure to bring in a change in the audio world with their revolutionary design and adorable looks. These surface Vibration Resonance Speakers do not produce much sound themselves unlike the normal speakers, but when they are placed on a hard-surface like a wooden table, floors etc. they force vibrations to travel to the surface they are placed on and give rise to a unique sound experience altogether. i-Mo’s small design makes it possible to not just accommodate it in any space whether big or small but also to carry it anywhere. It has a 2GB memory which enables you to store all your favorite songs and play them whenever you want. With FM radio also an addition to the device, you can make the most of the local radio stations as well. It also has a built-in Mp3 player and the device can be connected to your cellphone, iPhone, iPod, iPad, PSP, NDS, or any other 3.5 mm audio devices. The small horns on the speaker can be used to change volume or the song. The speakers can be placed on any hard surface like glass, metal, wood, marble and even plastic. Different surfaces might change the way the sound is produced by the speaker but since it has a very loud and clear bass system, the surface will have a negligible effect on the sound quality. i-Mo comes with a 3.5mm audio and USB cable, Power adapter and a manual CD. There is a wide range of speakers that are available to a consumer in the market and each product promises to provide something extra to the user. i-Mo has maybe a couple of new things that anyone who buys it can look forward to, but its design and compact style makes up for anything that it might lack. The ability to be a small speaker itself and to drive strong vibrations into anything to create surround sound is exquisite. People for whom practicality and enjoyment goes hand-in-hand, i-Mo should be the next purchase on the list. It can be found for only $45.50.

A USB Wedding Ring for a Nerdy Couple

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:56:36 +0000

Wedding bells are ringing. Preparations are on in full swing. You have known each other for a long time and soon it will be time to stand at the altar. Vowing your love to your beloved it will be time to exchange rings. A ring that will stay with for your entire life, a ring that you will gift your beloved as a token of your love. This should be no ordinary ring. You will definitely want it to be the best ring that you could offer. And it must be that special ring that expresses your emotions and at the same time makes your fiance believe how much he/she is loved. You would need to search your heart and your soul for that special ring and the message to be engraved on it. One special wedding ring that has recently come to light is that of Ray Arifianto. Arifianto is a part of Microsoft’s Xbox Platform team. He is soon to get married to the lady he loves and has got a wedding ring like no one has had before. Though called nerdy, the design looks pretty well thought out and has a creative edge to it. The USB design on the ring could not have been a better choice for a software professional. The engraving on the ring is very special with a pun intended on words, “for a lifetime of memories.” With creative people around it this sure does bring forward the ingenuous brains that have gone into the making of the ring. You could call them nerdy, stylish or designer, but a ring for a special occasion as a marriage speaks a lot about both partners. It shows how well each one of the partners knows each other. This was not the only ‘nerdy’ ring in fact. Many more have been made and many are yet to be made. For example there is one which has been made with the binary language engraved on the ring. Another ring heats up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit every hour, for 10 second, 24 hours prior to the anniversary. Should we call it cool or hot? These facts are not just confined to wedding rings but also hold true with different aspects of a wedding. Consider the wedding invitations. Time and again invitations are sent out reflecting the personalities of those getting married. The wedding cake is another very special aspect in a wedding. No matter how nerdy you get with your wedding preparations what matters in the end is the love you have for each other and everything else falls in place – whether it has been nerdy or not.

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:04:58 +0000

Being fit and staying healthy need no longer be a solitary road. Shaped like a clip-on iPod, the Fitbit Tracker is a device that you can clip on to your piece of clothing while you are working out, working at office, or even while sleeping. The miniature-tracking device will monitor the calories that you have burned, the calories that you have consumed, the number of steps you have taken, and even the quality of sleep you’ve had. The Fitbit Tracker is not some imagined science fiction concept that is yet to see the light of day. It is very much a practical reality. People who have begun a journey of staying fit and healthy prefer to have some kind of company. It could be a friend, a family member, or even an iPod that has your favorite songs. With the Fitbit Tracker, you get a fitness companion who will track your entire lifestyle- your exercise regime, what you eat, when you eat, how much you sleep- and report it back to you so you will know how healthy a lifestyle you have adopted. Staying fit is not just about the number of hours you spend in the gym exercising. It is also about your diet, how you manage everyday stress, and the amount of sleep that you get. This is where the Fitbit Tracker aims to be your best fitness friend. Once you clip on the mini device, it will track your physiological functions through an intelligent 3-D motion sensor technology and relay the information on the tracker’s OLED display. Everything that you needed to know about your daily calorie management is available right at your fingertips. To track your sleep pattern, simply clip the device to the wristband provided and fasten the band to the wrist you keep above your head while asleep. Once you are tucked in, press the smart button for two seconds. The device will go into ‘sleep’ mode. After you wake up, again press the button for two seconds. This will end the ‘sleep’ mode and will display your sleeping pattern. Due to the clip-form feature of the fitness tracker, you could carry it anywhere and everywhere. Even to an A-list party. The design aesthetic of the digital device is a stylized mix of jewelry cues and new age electronics. It remains discrete; at the same time you wouldn’t mind showing it off if anybody did notice it.

Cerve-cero Beer Mugs Don’t Impress Much

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:46:37 +0000

For all those beer lovers and beer-foam haters, there is a piece of good news, and that good news goes by the name of Cerve-Cero beer mug. Not many are fond of the foam that builds up when beer is poured in the glass. The foam forms a thick layer on top of the beer which is not only tasteless but also something which is unnecessary. So to facilitate the beer lovers in reaching their favorite drink a little faster, the Cerve-Cero has been specially designed. Cerve-Cero resembles a normal mug which we use almost every day, but this is where the similarities end. Instead of the normal circular base that every mug has, the Cerve has a slant-edged base which enables for the user to keep the mug at an angle. While pouring the beer the mug is kept at an angle and it inhibits the foam formation leading to a more foamless, clear liquid in the mug. The mug can be kept both at an angle and like a normal mug as well. Made of ceramic, Cerve comes in shiny and bright colors and also in the classic favorites black and white. Though the design itself isn’t very unique the slight slant-edge at the base makes up for the lack of innovation. When it comes to beer, both in bars and at home, a beer glass is more favorable and still rules the roost. Given the popularity of the beer glasses, it is unsure to say how beer-lovers are going to respond to a mug, which still is a rarity to beer drinkers. Foam build-up, for many, doesn’t give rise to any problem and people still prefer the look of a big beer glass filled up with thick white foam. In that case how well received this product is going to be, remains to be seen. Also with a slanted base the chances of the mug falling are more which can be both a harmful and a messy affair. To stop the mug from falling it should be kept at the correct angle but not many would like the idea of constant observation of a mug to avoid any mishap. The design of the mug doesn’t fetch any marks for innovation except for the slanted base. Besides that, the way the mug is shaped and the limited variety of colors are also disappointing. If anybody wants to buy it for its ability to minimize the beer-foam they are welcome because besides that there is very little to look forward to in Cerve-cero. If you wish to know more about such stuff take a look at Pacman Heat Changing Mug and Coffee Mugs. Via: Yankodesign

Elongated Monotea Teapot Design Is Unique and Innovative

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:41:20 +0000

One of the early nursery rhymes that everyone learns is about a teapot which is fat and stout with a handle and a spout. Over the centuries much has changed except for the popularity of tea, teapots, and this rhyme all over the globe. Here is a unique elongated Monotea teapot design by Raphael Morais which gives a unique makeover to the good old teapots. It certainly looks tall and elegant compared to the bulging teapots and may find many modern buyers who love slim and slender stuff. It is interesting to see modern designers completely rebelling against the old concept and creating contrasting designs. Tall and narrow teapot is exactly opposite to fat and round one and may not find place in traditional tea lover homes. One of the worrying factors would be the volume of the teapot because bulge creates an illusion of extra volume and more tea. Be assured tall narrow teapots with small slender spouts will hold same amount of water and technically there may not be much difference. Good tea making is an art and there must be some reason as to why fat and stout teapots have been in vogue for centuries. Of course there should be room for new designs and innovations and I am sure modern geeks will love these tall, slender tea pots which come in two neat black and white colors. If you truly want to check modern innovative designs then take a look at Sorapot Teapot Design and if you are not a tea drinker then you might like The Absinthe Fountain Set.

Hydra – the trendy new glossy piano design

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:56:21 +0000

Designer Apostol Tnokovski went all out in designing this new look for a piano, and calls it Hydra. The Hydra has a unique glossy curvaceous look, set in black and white. A hydra in Greek mythology is a serpent-like multiple-headed sea monster, and in reality it is a cnidarian that lives in water - a real live organism. But, this is not what inspired the design of this Hydra. This Hydra idea popped out of a misplaced piano in a concert of the artist Lady Gaga, which the designer saw and was not very pleased with. The shape brings out the fluidity that the Hydra symbolize, being water bound creatures. Some of us who are attached to the old piano models might consider this a radical change, because a normal piano somehow gives a nostalgic feeling. Nevertheless, you should always consider changing for the better, and staying in tandem with the new times. If you're interested in, and appreciate Hydra, then you should also take a look at the Hi-Sun, and the Polpettek Multimedia Speakers.

Rosewood Knuckles Umbrella for the Warrior in You

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:46:25 +0000

Umbrellas have been one of the cutest creations of human imagination and have become essential accessories for all seasons and reasons. Umbrellas have evolved over time and now they come in different shapes, sizes and forms. Designer Tobiah Adam has given ubiquitous handle of umbrella a subtle makeover by replacing it with customized rosewood knuckles handle. It makes the umbrella very personalized for fans of warriors and warrior games. Sometimes we don’t need to make a great change in design to express a creative thought. The Rosewood Knuckles handle will only make it easier to hold the umbrella tightly during heavy rains and is a good reminder of the good old power of knuckles. Ancient warrior swords had such handles, so those with spirit of warriors can use this umbrella as an effective self defense tool too. But more than that Rosewood Knuckles handle gives umbrella an old world luxurious charm and it makes an excellent style statement. Rosewood Knuckles Umbrella is a prototype but one can contact designer at ETSY to get one. One hopes final version with leather strap for easy carrying will be available soon too. If you are the geeky type then you may love this LED Glowing Umbrella instead or you can protect your designer shoes in heavy rains with Shoe Umbrella Shuella.

The New Décor Exhibition Shows Eccentric yet Impressive Art

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 13:14:28 +0000

Situated on the south bank of the river Thames is the magnificent art center Southbank Centre. Flanked by the Waterloo Bridge and the County Hall on either side Southbank Center is Europe’s largest dwelling place of art. Spread over a 21 acre estate this art hub comprises of three prominent buildings – the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and The Hayward art gallery. Every year more than three million visitors are attracted to view the various events held in the Southbank Center. The Center stages nearly thousand paid performances of music, dance and literature annually. Over 300 foyer events and education programs are held along with six major exhibitions at The Hayward. Apart from all this, over 100 venues across the UK are reached out to through the National Touring Exhibitions. The history of Southbank Center started with the Festival of Britain held in the year 1951. A Labor Party minister, Herbert Morrison, described the festival as ‘a tonic for a nation’ recovering from the Second World War. In the festival, the best in the fields on of art, science, technology and industrial design were showcased. From 1951 to the present times this centre of art has undergone massive changes. The only thing that has been retained is the Royal Festival Hall. This hall is considered to be the heart of the Southbank Center. Currently the New Décor exhibition is being showcased at The Hayward. This exhibition can be said to be an international survey of over 30 creative artists from across the world. The works of these artists aim at exploring interior designs incorporated with the changes in contemporary designs. Cama, the curved bed design by Cuban artist Los Carpinteros has attracted many eyeballs. It presents a bed twisted in the form of a motorway. It is probably the artist’s way of exhibiting the dangerous infrastructure of the country and the fact that there is only one motorway in the country. Sternbau No. 3 the chandelier is designer Lee Bul’s interpretation of an unrealized building envisioned by architect Bruno Taut. A Thing Called Gearbox by Urs Fischer portrays an unmatched pairing up of a chair and a canon suggesting a radical shift in the function of a chair. Through Rue Saint-Benoit, Haegue Yang from South Korea tries to examine the thought of private space. Canadian Angela Bulloch has based her Smoke Spheres 2:4 upon a painting by Bridget Rilay. Though a blank screen, the colors constantly change as per every pixel change in a particular television broadcast. These were some of the significant designs on display at The Hayward. The exhibition will be running through until September 5, 2010. You will also fall in love with these new designs if you have plans of refurnishing your home - Infectious Light and Puppo Chair.

Doll up Like a Superheroine with Batgirl and Wonder Woman Costume Shirts

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:09:33 +0000

Who says only men can don comic superhero merchandise and pretend to make the world a better place? It is time that we wear the super-women gear and tell the male-kind we too can kick in serious butts if needed. The female counterpart of Batman i.e. Barbara Gordon and Wonder Woman have been the two most cherished female figurines from DC comics. If these super-heroines have long held you in awe, it’s time for you to treat yourself with the Wonder Woman and Batgirl Costume Babydoll. These costume Babydolls will make you walk down the memory lane where you spent hours watching these beautiful yet mighty ladies on TV or reading their comics. My personal favorite was Wonder Woman who displayed hues of a strong feminist who hopes to bring sexual equality in a male chauvinistic society. I am pretty sure a lot of women will identify themselves with her for her ideals hold good in today’s realistic scenario as well. The word costumes often make us think of uncomfortable plastic-like fabrics, but this isn’t the case here. Both the shirts are made up of 100% cotton. The makers have done full justice to the characters, like the detailing of logo and utility belt printed in yellow. Each of them is available in 4 sizes and comes with a price tag of $18.99. If comic characters are your newly found love, you could check out the Alice in Wonderland Plush Dolls, Despicable Me Nail Art and Hello Kitty Stormtrooper.

Breathable Chocolate to Help You Crave Less

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:10:16 +0000

Ever dreamt of a stick that could drive your craving for chocolate away in the middle of the night? Well, your dream has now taken the shape of reality in the form of a stick! This new development will not push you to activate your taste buds or jaws but will call for something that you do every sec: breathe! Yes! A number of stores across UK are indulging in the sale of “La Whif” breathable chocolate sticks that are exclusively manufactured to drive away the ever-existing chocolate craving in you. Existing in about three chocolate (plain, raspberry and mint) and one coffee flavor, you do not have to bite, chew or swallow the chocolate, instead you just have to inhale it. The chocolate stick is in the form of a lipstick-style tube inhaler, which allows coffee or chocolate addicts to breathe in the flavor. The sticks have all the flavor of the original products but do not contain the calories that would be present in the original products. Therefore, these breathable chocolate and coffee sticks are healthy and effective. They are also effective in delivering the actual taste of a chocolate without deporting even one calorie. The Coffee flavor of the breathable stick is efficient enough to provide the taste of a small shot of expresso without delivering much of caffeine and calories. The most fascinating aspect of the breathable stick is that just one stick can provide up to 7 or 8 inhalations, which denotes that the customer can use the stick every time until the 8th time to drive away his or her craving for coffee or chocolate. If you are someone who enjoys eating the chocolate as it is traditionally eaten, the breathable chocolate is not something you would want to try. However, it is a good alternative to calorie building products like a standard bar of chocolate or cup of coffee. The customers need not worry about the entering of the particles into the lungs, as they are too large to poke into the crucial organ. For chocolate lovers who have been procrastinating their decision to cutting down chocolate consumption, the breathable chocolate stick is the right option, as it will not make you fat. Available at a very cheap price, the chocolate stick has come out to be designated as “different” and “working”. All it takes is some time and effort to purchase the stick, place one end of the stick to your lips, and inhale gently. With the invention of the breathable stick, the new question is: why drink coffee when you can inhale it? Skipping a cup in the morning need not be a cause for worry as long as you have the breathable coffee stick. It is quick and easy!

Dr. Martens’ 50th Anniversary USB Flash Drive

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:04:47 +0000

In the summer of 1945, a German doctor sprained his ankle while skiing on the Bavarian Alps. While recuperating, the doctor found his standard-issue army boots too painful to wear. This inspired the doctor to redesign his army boots with soft, comfortable leather and cushioned soles. The name of the doctor was Klaus Martens and his redesigned army boots came to be popularly known as Dr. Martens. To celebrate the 50 years of the iconic footwear line, Dr. Martens has released a USB flash drive that should appeal instantly to fans of the premium footwear range. The ‘Dr. Martens 50th Anniversary USB Flash Drive’ incorporates similar design elements that have made its boots a chic fashion statement. For over five decades, Dr. Martens has produced footwear, clothing and accessories that are extremely comfortable to wear. The footwear range of Dr. Martens is their flagship brand and incorporates distinct features such as air-cushioned soles (AirWair), and bright yellow colored stitching on top of the soles. The calf length army-designed boots is a popular fashion statement among Skinhead, Punk, Grunge, and Goth subcultures as well as some youth subcultures. With its eclectic colors and renegade fashion style, it is easy to understand why the boots have a following among the non-conformists. The special edition 50th Anniversary USB stick released by Dr. Martens should appeal to the non-conformist in you as well. A miniature Dr. Martens boot forms the protective covering over the USB circuit. The miniature boot has a smart black color tone with grey articulated lines on the border of the boot. Gold colored buckles adorn the front of the miniature boots. They are arranged in a row beginning from the top to the neck of the boot. The sole is colored yellow with the trademark Dr. Martens yellow colored stitching on top of it. The USB has a cool design feature that is worth mentioning. With the cap on, the USB stick resembles a knee-length boot. If the user removes the cap, the flash drive then resembles a calf-length boot. So, the user gets two boots (figuratively) for the price of one USB stick. Apart from its chic design features, the Dr. Martens USB stick is a highly functional computer accessory as well. It can hold up to 2GB of your music, photos, videos, or documents. If you are a fan of Dr. Martens, then their 50th anniversary USB drive is definitely a cool add-on to your collection. It is priced at $25. Also check out USBee and USB Flash Drive Lock to know more about such gadgets. Via: TheGadgeteer

Wha Cabinet Puts the “Wha” in “What’s That?”

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:10:29 +0000

The recently designed Wha Cabinet incorporates a unique shelving design and a lamp into one strangely cool product. Designed by Tembolat Gugkaev the Wha Cabinet is appropriately named, since its design resembles a question mark. The surfaces appear to be laminated black wood. The shelves angle as if a traditional shelving unit has been simply bent over – or maybe wilted. In other words, there’s a definite Alice in Wonderland appeal to these shelves. The “top” of the shelves also doubles as a lamp, taking advantage of the angle produced by the curved portion of the shelves. The shelves themselves are backlit with red, yellow, green, and blue lights that add a little ambiance to whatever room you’ve situated this unit in. In my honest opinion the colored backlighting is the only thing I find not-as-cool about this product. The colors seem just a little bit too much for this product, giving the whole thing a psychedelic look that leans (pun intended) towards lava lamps, black lights and blasting Grateful Dead tracks. Now, if that’s your sort of thing I could see why you might be interested in the Wha Cabinet. I assume that the backlight can be turned on and off, so I guess I don’t have too much to complain about. I do like the way that the shelves are angled inside the cabinet creating an interesting option for storage solutions. For those who are interested in taking things a slightly geekier route, the Disco Chair, the Paper Darwin Chair and the Cupcake Table make for great eye-candy. All in all I’m pretty impressed with this concept -- I think they’d be a cool addition to any living room – especially “framing” a couch or an entertainment center. That said, I’m not certain if the Wha Cabinet is only oriented in the shape of a question mark, or if there is a version that looks like a backwards question mark. Maybe the mirror-image shelving is called the Ahw – because it would be soooo adorable. Via: Walyou

Taking into consideration anthropometrics and the human anatomy a full scale design of the product was given shape. These new binoculars claim to be much lighter.

The binocular’s compact design and the ‘easy on-the-go action’ features make it a must for every sports fan. To top it all the interchangeable colors bring about that extra zing in the overall appearance making it all the more desirable. Get the color of the team you support and double the fun of the game! Not all binoculars are designed with so much research and experimentation to provide all the comfort to a user. Bushnell is an old and trusted name in the field of binoculars. It is only after giving priority to the user and taking care to consider the user’s benefits has this product been designed. After a lot of designing, sketching and further sketching and material interaction a final idea was frozen upon to give birth to the all new Bushnell Sports Binoculars. All in all this new product designed by Ben Howard is sure to be a necessary accessory when out watching a sport. Blackbird Camera and Lomography Camera are few other gadgets that might grab your attention.

Sounds weird but is true, though partially. We are actually talking about the range of Once Bitten toothbrush holders that bite into your toothbrushes. A set of five toothbrush holders have been designed to keep your toothbrushes secure. The five different animals featured are the pig, shark, seal, swordfish and whale. Each holder is unique in itself. However, all five have one thing in common. They are all hungry, always hungry. Gaping with eyes wide open, each creature presents a very sad expression, as if eagerly awaiting something. They might look sad but at the same time look very adorable. You cannot stop yourself from smiling at them. They can continue biting into your toothbrush for as long as you leave the brush in their mouths. With the help of suction cups the Once Bitten holders stick on to any smooth surface and can stay there forever. It is easy to feed each wide gaping mouth with a toothbrush and satisfy its hunger. In fact, these hungry holders can go beyond a toothbrush. They can be served with a variety of items as the holders have a very strong grip. Try using them for your keys, pens, pencils, light stationary items or even a couple of very light jewelry. Stick one on an area close to the door and you will never forget your house keys and car keys. Make sure that something very heavy is not placed within the jaws as that will prove to be more than a mouthful. Eventually it will cause the suction cups to give away and anything in the holder will fall off. After all gravity will play its part and pull down anything too heavy. All five wild critters have been made of plastic but differ slightly in size. While the width remains the same the length of each differs, based on the shape of a particular creature. The smallest is the pig which is 1.25 inches long. The longest is the shark with a length of 2.5 inches. The bright colors make them all the more appealing. We all love to welcome each day with a smile. If these small inanimate creatures can bring that much loved smile on each face then it is sure worth the spending $9.99 on each of them.

The Bucky Magnetic Balls are Creative and Addictive

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:09:37 +0000

We all grew up playing with building blocks and creating a variety of structures. The Rubik’s cube puzzled us and the Rubik’s 360 ball set our heads spinning. The Sticks and Balls game helped in creating numerous combinations. Once grown up, toys get left behind as they fail to grab our attention. But not anymore. Bucky Balls is a brand new game created for grown-ups to tickle the child within. Bucky Balls - quite an unusual name for a toy. No, it has nothing to do with carbon atoms. The carbon atoms in this fullerene have been replaced by 216 rare earth magnetic balls thereby giving birth to Bucky Balls. The spheres being magnetic always stick together but at the same time can be pulled apart to create innumerable combination. You can create puzzles, structures, magnetic jewelry, games, shapes and patterns and the list goes on. All that needs to be done is to rack the brains a little. In fact at times you don’t even have to do anything. Just a slight push here and a slight pull there and a brand new image is ready. One amazing feature of this toy is the fact that it stands out from among the various new age toys. It is a fact that most toys created in these times are electronic ones. They use some other source of external energy. This is not the case with Bucky Balls. The only energy that it requires is the one produced by one's brains and passed on to the hands. The hands do the rest of the job. Once you have a Bucky Ball set in your hand, the hands will start moving automatically and shapes and designs will start coming one after the other. It's as if the hands also turned into a magnet and the balls stuck onto the hands. No wonder the slogan on the box says ‘The Amazing Magnetic Toy You Can’t Put Down’. So true. In fact you can get so addicted to it that you won’t even mind sitting while watching some other person play with it. Original Bucky Balls are available in a steel finish. It is also available in three different shades – gold plated, silver plated and a black one which is nickel plated. The plated ones cost a little more than the original ones but can be worth the cost. As a wise decision, the makers of Bucky Balls have provided a small carrying case inside the large packing. They know that once you own one you will have to carry it with you everywhere. No other toy can ever get your attention once a Bucky Balls set is placed on your desk. It is available at the price of $29.95. Take a look at iPhone Magnet and Light Magnet to learn more about such toys.

PMMA Photo Frames Might Substitute Digital Photo Frames

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:35:39 +0000

When digital cameras became a huge hit, no one must have predicted that the good old film-roll cameras would have a silent demise from people’s mind. But when digital photo frames came to fore, the extinction of paper photos and the days of photo albums was absolutely certain. And now people find it hard to remember how they used to store their photos prior to the arrival of the digital age. The digital way of capturing and storing photos might be the best way to retain your memories but it is definitely not the happiest way. Remember the rush that we used to get when photos used to come from the printers’ and the euphoria that filled us on seeing the pictures? That somehow has seemed to have lost among the digital age. Taking photo to storing it in your digital frames takes less than ten minutes and once you’re done you hardly even give it one more look. Digital photo frames do give a modernistic feel to your home apart from helping you save money on many frames, but they certainly don’t evoke memories like the old time photo frames. So what to do if you really want to revive the memories and also use the photos lying around without making your house look like the victim of the golden era? Well you simply buy a PMMA photo frame. A product of Kim Katinis’s design shop, the PMMA allows you to be in touch with the days gone by without letting go of the futuristic designs. Its design, though simple, does attract attention and is perfect for any modern home. Made from Plexiglas, an acrylic material, the frame is light in weight and is very user-friendly. With 190 x 140 mm dimensions, it can easily accommodate a 15x10 cm photographs which are very convenient to put inside the frame. Not only is PMMA’s design brilliant but the fact that it is available in different colors makes it even more desirable. It comes in a varied range of colors from Blue-Black, Yellow, Green, and Orange to a darker shade of Red. Many digital-age lovers will probably find it hard to understand the importance of such kind of photo frames, especially when the digital ones are so easily available. But it is only the ones who really want to make their memories truly unforgettable, realize how vital and valuable a paper-photo frame actually is.

That one last thing that would give your car that perfect feminine look? For sure something has been and that something is the Car Lashes! Don’t think that this is just an ordinary pair of plastic lashes! These are specially made for your car’s headlights. They are flexible enough to bend the way you want them to, and they come with a 3M tape that does not take off the car paint nor leave marks on your car. The best part is that you can actually order them. All you need to do is contact the Car Lashes Company and let them know about your requirements including your car’s model and make. In a couple of days, you’ll get your Car Lashes just the way you wanted them to be. How do you use them? Using these Car Lashes is pretty easy. As said already, they come with a double sided 3M automotive trim tape. This is the tape that you usually find on different car accessories especially for attaching exterior trims on cars. So you don’t need to worry about whether it can rip off your car’s paint or not because it won’t. But the only problem with these Car Lashes is that once you have them on your vehicle, you need to be a bit careful. You won’t be able to put your car in the top gear and go on the top speed. So, if you are hi-speed driver, my recommendation is not to even think of these lashes! What I like about these lashes is that they are pretty easy going. You can easily detach them by slowly peeling them off. However, in case the tape got stuck on the car make sure to use a mild chemical to remove it. You can use car washing soap or liquid to remove any residue of the tape. Bottom Line: Well if you are a Paris Hilton fan then these Car Lashes are a must for your car. But, if you are not then most likely you wouldn’t like this idea. If you liked this, you'd love these: Easy Quick Jumper and Elegant Ellipse Pet Bed. CarLashes

The Y Grinder has two different chambers leading to two grinding knobs, one for salt and the other for pepper. Depending on what you require, you can turn either knob and you will get your freshly ground spice. The best part of this grinder is that you can use it for a multitude of seasoning as you can control the level of coarseness or fineness of the spice you are grinding.

Everyone and everything is going old school these days. Whether it be those old punk rock t-shirts or those old-school cars from Fast And The Furious, classic is the vogue! But, the only problem we face is that old school stuff is not really compatible with modern ones especially when it concerns your home interior. That’s exactly why Explode is here! Imagine having a classy and elegant gramophone in your house instead of a huge weird-looking CD player. Everyone accepts that a gramophone by itself is a very classy piece and has the caliber of adorning your living room to the fullest. But beauty isn’t all we want. Of course using an old school gramophone today would make you look indeed dimwitted; so how about you tweak it a bit and make it much more beautiful and useful in this time? In fact you don’t need to do that because you already have the Explode Gramophone. What is Explode? A modern CD and MP3 player with the classic beauty of a gramophone is what exactly the Explode is all about. Moreover, you don’t get this gramophone in the old school metallic style.

Multipurpose Eco-friendly Candle Bags

admin — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:01:24 +0000

Plastic bags are fast becoming every environment lover’s arch enemy. Not only are they unsightly when thrown carelessly on the roads, but are also threats to the environment because of their non-biodegradable nature. Often we get hoards of plastic bags when we shop and most of the time we don’t know what to do with them. But now that is going to change with the new Candle Bags, which are more beautiful and environment friendly alternative to the devious plastic bags. And the good news is that besides using these bags for the usual storage purpose, you can use them for decorative function as well. Made of Flame-Retardant biodegradable paper, these bags serve more than a single purpose. In the daylight these candle bags may seem very run-of-the-mill paper bag with the perforated cut-design as the only distinctness. But as night falls they transform into heavenly shimmering lights which can brighten the dullest of places and hearts. While going out shopping you can carry them with you to store your purchases in it. And even if the bag tears apart or is not useful anymore, throwing it away is not going to be a guilty affair anymore because they are environment friendly. After they fulfill their role of storage bags, they can be used to light your rooms and decorate spaces around. You just need to place a small tea-light into the bag and when the light perforates through the cut-design, it feels and looks quite breathtaking. Since the bags are made of flame-retardant paper, they resist and inhibit the spread of fire which makes them a safer option than the normal paper bags. Also unlike regular lanterns and lights, you don’t have to hunt for places to stow these bags as you only need to fold them and place them in cupboards and drawers. The Candle-Bags are for use only in the outdoors and they come in a pack of five - each costing £4.99. Though they are made of flame-retardant material, some things still should be kept in mind while using them. Leaving them unattended with children and pets can be hazardous. It should always be made sure that these bags are not placed near or above any flammable material. Candle-Bags are a treat for both the environment and the eyes. There are very few things in the world which are beneficial to both humans and nature, and this beautiful creation is one of them. So the next time when you are off shopping with these candle-bags in tow, remember you’re doing Mother Nature one huge favor.

Tasty Frame – A Mini Garden for Your Kitchen

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:27:02 +0000

We all love a green patch. It is cool to the eyes and gives a fresh feeling to the soul. During these times when cities are growing, greenery is being pushed back. Many of us would long to have a kitchen garden, but the limited space does not permit. The condition is worse for those living in apartments. Swiss designer La Chanh Nguyen understands the limitations of gardening and has come up with the concept of an indoor, in fact tabletop, kitchen garden. Sometime back, Nguyen had come up with the concept of a live moss bathroom carpet. He was highly applauded for his innovative and nature loving idea. It is time again to appreciate his designing excellence. Take a look at his Tasty Frame kitchen garden idea. It is a white-colored ring which has a depression running all along. The depression is meant to hold soil in which plants can be sown. At first sight you would not take this for real or might say that this is not something that can be kept in a kitchen. Sorry to say, but you would be wrong in either case. For one, this is an absolutely real product along with all the plants in it. The soil in the narrow opening on the rim of the frame is real. Secondly, as the placement of your kitchen garden is concerned, it can not only be placed on the kitchen counter-top but can also be suspended from a support. This three-part injected plastic frame does not only look good but is sturdy and compact enough to hold all the soil. The weight of herb plants is considerably light which makes it comfortable to suspend. The color of the frame adds on to the beauty of this product. When full of grown herbs, the white frame, and the green leaves compliment each other and plant a smile on the face of the spectator. The circular shape makes it easy for use and ensures uniformity throughout the ring. This could not have been achieved with any other geometrical shape. Time and again there are small amounts of herbs that we all require for our cooking. They are definitely available in the market but if they come fresh from a kitchen garden, the aroma and taste increases immensely. Make use of Tasty Frame and plant all kinds of aromatic herbs to give every dish a fresh appeal. If you are one of those who yearns to have greenery around you, make sure you go through Flip Flop Solar Plant and Power Plant Gadget.

Alice in Wonderland and Cheshire Cat Cake Looks Yummy and Beautiful

admin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:57:12 +0000

Over the years, Alice’s tale has been retold by many story tellers. Alice and her wonderland friends have been the theme ideas of many parties and school functions. For decades they have entertained and amused each coming generation. The fact that we have merchandises being designed around these characters goes miles to speak about their never ending popularity. Cakes have become an area of showcasing ones creativity and what better theme to chose than Alice and her friends. One very recent addition to cakes dedicated to the Wonderland characters has come from NattyCakes1. The larger part of this cake is dedicated to the riddling character of the Mad Hatter. There is a small Alice sitting on the rim of the large hat. Cheshire cat is not far away from Alice and even has a wide grin on its face. All aspects of this four-layered Chocolate Meria cake have been created with utmost care. One can see the extreme precision in every minute detail. Using sugar paste the decoration of the Mad Hatter’s hat has been given exact resemblance to Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter portrayed by Johnny Depp. The stars and the twirls look like gold embossed on the hat. The cloth running along the lower section is complete with detailed real looking folds. It would not be a surprise if Mad Hatter mistook this hat for his own. Once again using sugar paste Alice and Cheshire Cat have been given shape. Alice is a little girl wearing a dress full of frills and pleats. NattyCakes1’s Alice is that perfect charming little girl sitting on the rim of Mad Hatter’s hat with the most pleasant smile. This blonde Alice has a well carved out face with a pointed nose and twinkling eyes. In this cake, she is that little girl made of ‘sugar and spice and everything nice’. Her dress has also been tailored near to perfection. Cheshire Cat is the most happy creature you could have ever seen. The huge smile on its face is proof of the fact that this cat is in the best of moods. Probably its maker was also in a very good mood when creating this adorable piece of wonderland fantasy. If it looks good, it will also taste good. It would be a pity to have to cut the cake but cakes are meant to be cut. If justice has to be done to this amazingly good looking cake then it should disappear from all the plates as soon as possible. Go ahead and get lost in Alice’s Wonderland.

Just like a real dog you can pet this one too, but instead of wagging its tail, this Dog Lamp is going to do something a little different than a real dog. The petting motion on the top of the “head” of the lamp initiates the on/off motion which can be done whenever you wish to switch the lamp on or off. Petting the head of the lamp also changes the intensity of the light which can be varied as per your need and choice. And if your mood suggests a little different kind of light around, a little swinging motion to its neck can change the scene around. From bright to dim, from somber to vivacious, this one lamp has the capacity to not only change your environment but also change your whole mood. If you feel you have had enough of those traditional lamps and if your house (or your heart!) is screaming for a change, then look no further than the Dog Lamp. While you are nose deep in work or studies, a mere glance at your loyal companion is going to be enough to cheer you up. Affordable, light-weight, and unique designing, there isn’t anything more that you can possibly wish for when you are looking to buy a lamp. With such appealing and attractive features on the resume, the Dog Lamp is truly a man’s best friend. It is priced at $289.

Vintage Pac Man Shower Curtains To Lighten Up Your Bathroom

admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:54:32 +0000

Shower curtains are practical, but they hardly ever depict awesome scenes every Gamer love and cherish. Well, brace yourselves for a new trend, The Pac Man Shower Curtains! An artist who goes by the name of GreatfulThread on Etsy designed a shower curtain to "bring out the kid in all of us." And truly, in today's hectic pace, we need to be reminded of that. To be honest, I never knew I would find anything this interesting in the Bathroom Decor Section of Etsy's handmade goods… This genius creation is made from a vintage Pac Man bed sheet, with a coordinating set of towels on request. The Pac Man Bath Set comes lined with a cotton shower curtain liner so that the vintage bed sheet would not be damaged by the bathrooms dampness. It also makes it strong and sturdy. It has holes at the top for shower rings, making it easy to set up in the allocated shower area, and is washer and dryer safe. The Shower Curtain measures 73 inches high and 67 inches wide. The Pac Man shower curtain was added to etsy shop on the 22 August for $100 and only one curtain was listed, so hurry up and order it before someone else does! A second Pac Man curtain was also spotted over on Hawtymcbloggy, but this set comes complete with a lined shower curtain, a pair of Pac Man hand towels and two terry cloth bath towels. The entire bathroom set was also hand made from vintage Pac Man bed sheets and for $145 USD the entire themed set can be yours. This is truly a bargain, considering the work that went into to, but also: It is Pac Man! The only drawback from owning a bathroom set like this is that you might use your shower time to play Pac Man on the back of curtain, instead of actual showering… That is, we will use our imagination and shower curtains to play Pac Man until such time when shower curtains are made of flexible, water proof LCD screens to make the entire personal hygiene routine so much more pleasurable. Either that, or just go for the cherry. Pac Man is and always will be the ultimate game, and for other Pac Man related articles, why not read more about Pacman Scarves, the Pacman Mug or the Pacman Tie. Via: Walyou

While it is possible to own an entire collection of various animal shaped outdoor transistor radios, these ones have been shortlisted as favorites; and they have certainly lived up to their high reputation. When the ladybug’s eye is twisted, it exposes her wing, as if in flight to reveal a speaker and when the owl’s pink rhinestone eyeball is twisted, it will belt out songs from the radio and with these babies, you don’t even have to worry about changing any batteries, because the owl’s batteries have not been changed in twenty five odd years! Both don’t only work properly, but they are adorable to look at. The ladybug is made entirely out of plastic, about an inch and a half tall with a wrist strap and rubber antennae for decoration; while the owl is eight inches tall, and has a plastic body, golden eyes, wings, talons and speakers over its feathery behind. So, don’t think twice before picking up these excellent quality, vintage transistor radios!

A Modern Touch Sensitive Stovetop – The William

admin — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 12:14:14 +0000

The stovetop is probably the most important appliance of the kitchen universe. All your cooking needs are taken care of by the humble stovetop. You can use the common four-burner stovetop to boil, cook, and reheat food. The household appliance is extremely easy to use as well as to maintain. For all its simplicity and functionality, the stovetop poses certain limitations for the current generation of users. The first, and probably the most important drawback for the modern user is that cooking on a stovetop needs constant supervision. The user just cannot leave something on the stove and go to check their mails or chat with friends. With numerous distractions such as internet and television, the stovetop can become a site for a kitchen accident. On an ordinary stovetop, a maximum of four or five burners can be used simultaneously. If there is a need to use more than five burners, the user will have to wait until one of the occupied burners is available. Time has now come for a modern stovetop that answers to the needs of modern users. Many concept stovetops have tried to overcome the current limitations and become the next household cooking appliance. There is one concept, however, that looks the most likely to be a part of your future kitchen. The stove concept in question is called ‘The William’. The William is a flat, smooth cooking surface that employs its entire surface area for cooking. The user can cook up to 21 different items simultaneously on The William as compared to four or five on an ordinary stovetop. The stove concept consists of 1500 separate honeycombs embedded with custom signature technology. Custom signature technology senses the surface area of the vessel and distributes heat evenly across that particular surface area. If The William’s custom signature technology is innovative, then the completely touch sensitive control unit of the stove is definitely impressive. With the amazing control panel, users can have unparalleled control over the cooking process. The user can adjust the temperature required and the cooking time of each vessel placed on the cooking surface. There is also an automatic option that allows the user to turn off the heat after a certain amount of time. The William is just as easy to use as the ordinary stovetop, and with its intuitive user experience, consumers should have no problems in switching to the future stovetop. You can check out The William in action on YouTube. Hi-fire Cooking Stove and Bizarre Kitchen Gadgets are few other concepts that you can consider for your kitchens.

Tea Table with a Ripple Effect

admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:55:21 +0000

When it comes to a tea table with a difference, nothing beats this innovative design by Korean industrial designer Jeonghwa Seo created in partnership with Hanna Chung. The designers have tried to integrate the eastern mentality towards social relationships into this tea table. The 'ripple effect' refers to the easterners’ common belief that small objects or changes in an individual can create a huge impact on the larger society, thus building a totalitarian culture. Every time a user moves the tea cup or the saucer placed on this tea table, the top water layer builds up ripples, thus bringing the idea of cultural mentality, which the 'ripple effect' is believed to stand for. No wonder that this innovative design is sure to be preferred for the traditional tea ceremonies as well as with common people who want to bring a touch of magic into the mundane act of drinking tea. To light up this tea table, you can get hold of the frosted scroll solar lanterns, or bring the Bloom Lamp to light up your interiors in order to make your tea sessions all the more fun and exciting.

Wouldn’t that be cool? It sure would, and on top of that, it looks pretty, and the excitement and fun double! That’s exactly the concept behind Blandito. To present the masses with a transformable pad that suits their interior well, and has the ability to cater all their needs. Believe it or not, Blandito is what we all want. It is one pad that can actually be everywhere in our house. Whether you are watching a movie or you want to sleep peacefully, Blandito is there for you. I personally love the idea and like I said before, it even looks great. It’s not one of those all go no show pads that you feel inferior about keeping in your house. Blandito is a chic pad, and for sure it can be one great addition to your house interior. What’s good about it? Quite a lot actually! First off, you would love to know that the covering is actually removable and washable. It doesn’t fade off and comes with a warranty so you would be quite satisfied for a decade at least. The overall texture is soft and pleasing to the skin. It won’t hurt you instead, it will provide you a comfortable time every time you are on it. There is no hard structure inside it, and it's pretty flexible making it easier for you to fold and twist. There are three sizes available for Blandito; small, medium, and of course large. You can also change the coverings from time to time if you get bored with the current one. There are different materials for the coverings such as the shiny ones and the velvet ones. Although I would personally like to have the slick ones because you can easily wipe off the dirt and other things that might fall on it. I wouldn’t recommend washing it every now and then. Well, you need to take some precautions after all! Check out some more home interiror stuff here: Explode and The PMMA Photo Frames. Via: Behance

Solve Puzzles While Cooking : Piece It Together Cutting Boards

admin — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 12:44:34 +0000

Who says cooking is a boring activity? In fact, there are many people who consider it to be a stress buster. The more you enjoy cooking, the better you cook. The end result is bound to be awesome. One important factor that makes cooking all the more fun and relaxing is the equipment used. Lovely looking utensils and cutlery put the zing into it. Now consider this ‘Piece It Together Cutting Boards’. It is not only a cutting board but a puzzle for you too. These two pieces of puzzles are not going to make your cooking sessions any bit puzzling to you. Rather they are going to make things simpler. The pack of cutting boards contains two pieces which can either be used individually or together. Shaped like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, both the boards can be interlocked and used as one entity. This is really some piece of fun in the kitchen. The ‘Piece It Together Cutting Boards’, when placed together, measures 12 X 9 inches in size giving you ample space for chopping, and slicing your veggies, fruits, cheese, or just about any item. Since they are wood, you need not worry about them slipping off. The board priced at $31.99, has a firm grip on the surface as well as on the knife. The boards are made from acacia wood that makes an excellent material for a cutting board. Though they are perfectly safe in a dishwasher, a little extra care would be advisable. Adopt a couple of care-taking steps and see your boards looking like new always. Before you use the board, season it with some food grade mineral oil. The wood being porous easily absorbs the oil. Using a clean cloth, apply oil in the direction of the grain. Allow it to sit for a couple of hours and apply a second round. Wash off the extra oil after a couple of minutes. To prevent the wood from drying out due to regular use, oil the board at an interval of a few days. Use hot water with mild soap in washing the board. Never submerge it in water. For tough stains, apply a coat of salt and let it sit for some time. Using a damp sponge, apply a little pressure and clean the stained area. Repeat if it does not take away the stain in one wash. To do away with odors, apply a little lemon juice to the board. Allow the board to dry thoroughly after every wash. Take care of your jigsaw and it will help you solve your cooking puzzles.

Saphon – Gift Wrapped Kitchenware

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:00:17 +0000

Someone has rightly said, ‘Appearance rules the world.’ A very well-dressed person automatically attracts attention. The same can be said about consumer goods in these days of tough competition. And this fact has been very intelligently understood and aptly applied by Louisa Baldock in the new range of Saphon Kitchenware. Kitchenware is widely used in all homes but what can be so attractive about one that you have chosen it above the rest? The first thing, without doubt, that strikes a note is its appearance. When out shopping, how many times do you stop by to look at something shabbily packed? Rarely! When the same product is wrapped up beautifully in a colorful package, with well-labeled information, it is sure to have heads turning in its direction. The latest range of products from Saphon Kitchenware has been definitely given an attractive ‘clothing’. Three products – a cooking pot, a spatula and a segment cutting blade – have been packed in cool eye pleasing colors of light green and white. Large portions of the product carry the black color that makes a very attractive color combination. The portions of white space highlight the other colors and instantly call for attention. The cooking pot has a labeled black cover which is green from the inside. It has a terrycloth material in the interior and a breathable outer covering. The spatula is carefully packed in a transparent cover with a green backdrop. The black handle and shining material of the spatula make the product standout. The last product is the segment cutting blade. With due consideration to the fact that an open blade can cause damage, a cover has been provided. The blade, with the cover, is packed in a green box with only the front being white. A small peeping space has been provided in one corner of the box to enable the customer to get a view of the product. Anyone working with consumer goods would vouch for the fact that attractively packed goods score more than unappealing packages. We all appreciate beautiful things so why not in the case of kitchenware also. Who would not want to have a good looking kitchen with adorable pieces of utensils? With good looking kitchenware, cooking too becomes a pleasure. Designer Baldock has made every effort to give the goods an appealing look because food cooked in a happy mood tastes good too. Not just this, you can also go for kitchenware such as Interactive Digital Cooking Aid and Book Cook.

Piperoids, the Papercraft Robots

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 14:30:18 +0000

Papercraft has progressed with time and you too can see the same by having a look at these Piperoids. Made totally out of colorful paper pipes, these desk-sized robots only need you to invest some 30 minutes to get the final product. Armed with a handful of paper tubes and scissors, you can create these robots using multiple cuts and folds. Since pipes of the same diameter are used to create all these Piperoid characters, you can even create hybrids in no time by simply interchanging some parts of a few of these paper robots. What’s more lucrative is the ability to move all the joints of your craft, thanks to the absence of tape and glue. These Piperoid characters come in four styles - Guyzer & Bean, Penk & Goriborg, Mantis Harry, and Muscle Joe and range between $11.95 - 15.95 each. So, if you and your children love papercrafts, let your creativity run wild with the creation of these Piperoids that are about 3"-4" tall, and come along with clear instructions that feature full-color illustrations. Check out some amazing Origami and a few temporary stickers to make your vehicle theft-proof.

Rejuven8 Concept for the 2050 Kitchens

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 16:30:14 +0000

Technological advancements have given wings to thoughts which have successfully reached a destination. Designers are constantly involved in coming up with new ideas and concepts that leave us amazed at their potential. Andrew Godin from Australia is one such designer whose concepts and designs have found a good audience. The latest that has come from him is the Rejuven8. Rejuven8 is a concept of a home appliance which is “designed for the year 2050”. We have no clue about why this date was chosen but the product sure does appear useful for the present times as well. This home appliance is a multi-utility piece of object which, when ready, will be no less than an extract from a science fiction movie. The appearance is sleek, shiny, stylish, and nothing like any other product we find around us. Sitting on the counter top, it will definitely set heads turning in its direction. The green and black colors are brightly done and complement each other. The final object that is presented is a collection of a number of smaller parts. Each part can be easily reassembled. The entire body contains two circular frames – the larger one is the main support stand while the smaller one houses the controls and the spray nozzles. This has been made from high density recycled plastic. Gloss black acrylic has been used for the rear cover, front cover, and the inside cover and hinge. The nozzle housing cover, misting nozzles, and the recovery unit are made from engineering plastic. The carbon waste bin material is HDPE, black acrylic. Once the unit is assembled it's ready to do your work at various levels. The front cover is not only to provide cover to the unit but also functions as an LCD screen. It has a storehouse of recipes and can give you a step-by-step instruction to prepare a meal. Once you are done with your meal, chuck away all the scrapings into its bin where the waste is thoroughly broken down to the molecular level. The reusable nutrients and minerals are stored for future use while the waste is broken down further and eliminated as carbon powder. The stored nutrients are used for your next meal. Place your dish of prepared food in front of the overhang area just below the spray nozzles. Using the controls allow a spray of stored nutrients into your food without it leaving any odor or aftertaste. As part of its additional functions, it connects to other products in the house and sends updates to the food database which time and again displays information on its LCD screen. This is one appliance that can prove to be your health and hygiene guide and caretaker. If you were impressed with this, make sure you also check out Mini Cupcake Factory and Digital Cooking Aid.

Hypno Clock: A Unique Wrist Watch

admin — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 14:56:55 +0000

The principal design of a watch has progressed gradually, like the seconds hand of a timepiece. The first watch that arrived on the scene circa 16th century was the round, flap-covered pocket watch. After the First World War ended, wristwatches became popular. They continue to be popular even today and can be seen on many a wrist as an essential fashion accessory. The wristwatch too has had its share of variations in design. The early wristwatch had an analogue dial with Roman numerals and a leather strap that gripped the watch to the wrist. Digital dials were then introduced as an alternative to analogue dials. A digital dial has made it extremely easy to tell the exact time. The shape of the dials has also changed moderately from the original circular shape to square and even funky rectangular dials. One design aspect, however, has remained constant. The time in a wristwatch has always been indicated by numbers and hands. This perennial design aspect has a fresh variation that should appeal to the elites as well as the bourgeoisie. Designer Guy D Mann has designed a concept watch for Tokyoflash that tells time, not with hands, but with progressing lines. The concept watch has a similar structure to any wristwatch. It has a circular dial and a strap attached to the dial. The only difference, and perhaps a very important one, is that Mann’s ‘Hypno Clock’ has three thick lines that replace the hour, minutes, and seconds hands respectively. In an ordinary dial the hour and minutes hand of the watch are prominent with the second hand ticking away discreetly. This order is reversed in the Hypno Clock. The line that indicates seconds is the most prominent and is placed on the outermost ring of the dial. This is followed by the ‘minutes’ line with the ‘hour’ line placed in the innermost ring of the dial. What makes the Hypno Clock remarkably different from other watches, apart from the progressive lines, is that it is simply fascinating to watch how the lines keep time. As the ‘seconds’ line makes its way around the circular dial, the color of the line gradually changes from a light tone to a darker shade. The minutes and hours hands are marked in a different color shade. If observing time through lines seem complicated to you, the dial can also display the time and date in digital numbers on your preference. The Hypno Clock makes watching time tick a pleasurable and visually appealing activity.

Mace Pepper Spray Gun: Your ideal defense tool

admin — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:00:44 +0000

The increase in crime in the world today has given rise to the availability of several self-defense tools in the market, one of the most popular of which is the Mace Pepper Spray Gun with a price tag of $50.99. This is one of the most preferred pepper spray units available today in the self-defense category. The gun comes complete with disposable pepper cartridges, a water test cartridge, and LED light. The water cartridge allows one to practice using it without harming another. On the other hand, the LED light allows you to disarm your attacker by distracting him or her with the light, as well as to see clearly in the darkest sidewalks in the night. The spray released from the gun flows in a constant stream, up to 25 feet in distance, from all angles, making it a great defense tool. It also has a safety button to ensure that children do not accidentally set it off. So, the next time you are out late, be sure to go with the Mace Pepper Spray Gun and you will never have to worry about being attacked. If you want to have some original pepper shakers though, check out the screwed shaped ones and those modeled on embellished umbrellas. Via: The Gadgeteer

Hand Made Shoes – Erm, Well Yes They are Shoes!

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 11:26:30 +0000

Okay before I start, I want to say that not every other concept we get our hands on is amusing. At times, things come up which look rather awful, at least to me. These shoes were basically designed and created by some young students who had the support of Hanae Mori Foundation. Hanae Mori Foundation provided them with tools and expertise to create designs that can reflect modern expressions. Well I don’t really know what modern expressions are they reflecting but I am assuming it has something to do with loving animals and making the world a better place. Yup, another way of convincing people to go green and stop mass extinction projects to save hundreds of animals. If that were the concept, the shoes are awesome, if not, well then I am speechless. Apart from how the shoes look, what needs to be truly appreciated here is that these are handmade shoes. In totality, there were 14 shoes out of which the best ones are shown here. I particularly like the Lips and the Macho Bear. Although I admit I would never wear the bear thingy, it looks cute and better than the stretching cat and cling. Now, let’s just assume for a while that these shoes were never designed to be worn. In fact, they were designed just to give present an image of the compassion they have for the environment and ecology. It does not even sound impossible that in the future people will start wearing such shoes. I mean look around for a second, people and companies are deliberately using stuff that makes people feel conscious about preserving the ecological system. Maybe in the future, if things get worse and there is no other way of reminding humans to start caring for the environment, these shoes would work. For now, these shoes are good enough till being conceptual. If they actually were produced by some company, I wonder who would wear them. Like I said, the Lips look cool but the rest are too childish. I hope the young designers and Hanae Mori Foundation could have done a better job than this!

The USB Wine Bottle Speaker: Wine Available To The Masses!

admin — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:30:53 +0000

It looks like wine. Maybe it’s the world famous Bordeaux, or the expensive Sauvignon? This product is actually better than wine and way cooler too! That’s right, the USB Wine Bottle Speaker has nothing to do with wine, and is a perfect example of technology that is ingenious, not to mention hilariously pretentious all at the same time! The USB Wine Bottle Speaker, as the name suggests, is actually a speaker that deceptively looks like a wine bottle. It is perfectly capable of reading your USB Flash Drive, and functions as a speaker for your MP3 Player or your PC by playing audio files. It also includes some essential features like an FM Radio with tiny buttons for playing and shifting tracks and radio stations, as well as a built-in Memory Card Reader that will enable you to read SD and MMC cards. Unlike its alcoholic counterpart, this little treat does not only come with a miracle bottle. It comes with a 3.5mm audio port which allows you to attach your iPod or MP3 Player, a remote control, 3.5mm audio cable, a USB charging cable, and a stand. The USB Wine Bottle Speaker is powered by an internal, rechargeable, lithium-ion battery which will ensure that all you music lovers will enjoy your music without having to worry about being low on battery or “reserves”. Though it does not look as cute as the i-Mo Resonance Speakers or the i-Jerry Vibration Speaker, the USB Wine Bottle Speaker is sure to last you way longer than that bottle of wine; and unlike wine, will save you hundreds of dollars! via: geekalerts

GeoMetric Covers for iPhone 4

admin — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:20:53 +0000

A lot of effort goes into designing a phone, especially a mobile phone. To cover it with an extra layer of protective covering, steals the phone off its looks. But what if the cover is more elegant than the phone itself? We sure would love to get such a protective cover that not only keeps the phone safe but also enhances its looks. Well, iPhone 4 users can definitely get something like this. GeoMetric for iPhone 4 is a phone cover designed especially for the iPhone 4 by Speck. Available in three colors – red, blue, and black – the GeoMetric is a perfect example of good looks and utility. The first thing that attracts one's attention is the look of a product. The iPhone case from Speck gets a perfect score in this area. The cover is only for the back of the phone since the entire face is the screen. While it gives a sturdy appearance, it also has the designer effect. The triangles on the rear are designed in matte as well as a glossy finish. It does not have a flat surface, with some triangles merging at a point to form a peak, giving it a 3D effect. The gloss-matte finish adds on to the three-dimensional looks of the cover. Looks alone do not serve the purpose, with which is required utility. If a product fails to give the desired utility to a consumer, it is considered a ‘beautiful failure’. Speck need not worry since the GeoMetric fulfills its purposes elegantly. Since the cover is made from a material named TPU - Thermoplastic Polyurethane – it has the perfect texture. It gives a good grip to the hand, can be easily slid in and out of a pocket, and is also easy to slide on to the handset. It is again this TPU material that has made it possible to get the matte-gloss combination effect. The cover has been designed with the iPhone in mind, and matches the handset requirement to the T. It perfectly matches with the volume button, power button, headset jack opening, charger dock, camera lens, and mute button. When using the phone with the cover on one does not face any difficulty in operating any of the buttons. The front bezel of the cover is a little raised making the phone comfortably rest in it. This means that when the phone is placed face down on any surface, the screen is uplifted from the surface, thereby protected. iPhone users are definitely lucky to have such a product being designed for them.

Night Vision Key Chain Concept Brings Nothing New!

admin — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:00:54 +0000

Well yes that’s right, I would say it’s just an LED watch without straps made like a keychain. What’s new in it? Nothing, honestly! It’s the same old pyramid style LED watch that comes with the same blue lights. They claim that this watch will be able to bring a change in people’s lives. They won’t need to wear watches, in fact, they would carry them around. I personally think it’s nothing new. You still get a lot of digital and analog keychain watches. So what’s the brag about? I think a better way of putting it both in terms of marketing as well as in terms of making sense would be to say that it’s just another LED watch functioning as a keychain. There is nothing new about it, but yes, it’s just an alternative. In fact, that’s exactly how the designer himself puts it, then why should we take it to a totally different level? If you remember sometime back we reviewed the Night Vision watch, this one comes with the same dial as well. The only difference is that the lights are now blue instead of green. Well time reading to me is always an issue on most of the LED watches because of their weird time display. Although, they say this one is pretty easy in terms of time reading, I disagree. A digital or an analog watch would still be much better whatsoever. Anyhow, there are hours displayed on the edges of the dial, whereas the minutes are shown in digital format in the center. That’s the only good part for me, actually. Although the digital minutes look a bit awkward, they are digital at least and not some weird shape forming which we need to figure out to get the right time. Honestly, rarely any LED watch amuses me. I agree that the designs these days are getting better and much easier for the consumers. LED watches still have a long way to go before they can be adapted by the masses. For now, all LED watch designers… please come up with better designs!

Fancy Rubik's Cube Dress for the Cubaholics

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 14:25:15 +0000

Quick question: Which is the world’s most popular and best selling toy? It is neither an action figure nor a construction toy. Let me give you a hint. It is a cube that has six panels, with each panel further divided into three vertical and three horizontal panels. Still puzzled? The world’s most popular, and best selling toy, is the ‘Rubik’s Cube’. The puzzle-toy is one of the toughest to crack, and which requires a superior level of intuition and intelligence. It is estimated that only a minor fraction of people had been able to successfully solve the Cube. Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik who was a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture. The original inspiration for the cubic puzzle came from smoothened pebbles that lay in the River Danube. Ideal Toys bought the license from Rubik to market the puzzle toy in 1980, and the rest, as they say, is history. It was an instant hit upon its release, and won an award for Best Puzzle. Around 350 million cubes have been sold since its release, making it the best selling toy ever. 2010 is a special year for Rubik’s Cube fans, or Cubaholics, as they are called. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Cube. To commemorate the occasion, Leanne, a fashion designer and self-confessed Cubaholic has fashioned a very pretty Rubik’s Cube costume. This costume is definitely not the first attempt at designing a fashion statement based on the Cube. There have been prior attempts, but this particular costume is the most wearable. Leanne’s Rubik’s Cube inspired outfit consists of a top, a skirt, a single shoulder strap, and a pendant. The top is a darker shade of blue and reveals the right shoulder on which the shoulder strap rests. The shoulder strap is accessorized with colored stickers that are featured on the Cube (white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). The pendant is a miniature Cube model set in the ‘solved’ position. It is the skirt that is probably the most important and eye-catching piece of this ensemble. The knee-length skirt is jet black in color with large, square colored stickers. The arrangement of the stickers is similar to the color arrangement on the Rubik’s Cube. They are arranged in a 3x2 format and appear in six panels across the skirt. Rubik’s Cube has appeared in movies, TV shows, and even in works of art. Leanne’s attempt is style statement homage to the ever-puzzling Cube. If you are one of the Cubaholics, I am sure you will also appreciate the designers who developed V-Cube 7 Supercubes and Hello Kitty Rubik's Cube.

Creative Wall Cabinet by Misha Kahn

admin — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:13:31 +0000

Modern furniture designers are thinking out of the box to create some stunning and creative stuff for geek homes. The best part of these designs is that they are very practical and tailor-made to suit one’s needs. But Misha Kahn’s creative wall cabinet design beats them all because this wall cabinet's sections are actually cut out according to the shape and size of the things that need to go in there. So things fit it in perfectly just like a jigsaw puzzle. Apparently, Misha Kahn cut out shapes of things and made them all fit to a curious thought bubble. This freak experiment has also created an awesome art piece too for when the cabinet is empty, it simply looks like an artistic piece of décor. This creative wall cabinet is 7 feet by 6 inches tall which means it will look stunning in any urban space. I am sure this will inspire many to create their own wall units but it is certainly not a simple task. Only a professional expert can make a bizarre shape stand in perfect balance. Misha Kahn has created space for plant, books, stuffed toys, and a thoughtful tiny niche for cute dolls too. It is a bold and brilliant idea! If you find this too bizarre for your taste then do take a look at Wha Cabinet and Paper Darwin Chair. Yes, you will be convinced that these are all contemporary, yet futuristic designs. It's time to change your conventional furniture. Via: If It's Hip It's Here

Two Sided Triangle LED Watch

admin — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:00:22 +0000

Now this is what we call a fashionable and chic LED watch. The design was submitted by Leuenberger Stephane from Switzerland and according to her, she focused more on creating a watch that is fashionably attractive instead of being technically attractive like most of the LED watches. Stephane describes her inspiration by saying that 12 and 9 are multiples of 3 which is the main reason why she went for a triangular shape. And like we said earlier, she wanted the watch to look an elegant fashionable watch instead of looking like a Star Trek gadget. The watch is double-sided meaning both the front and the back can display time. One side is pink in color while the other is green. I completely agree that the watch looks like a fashion accessory and that’s the best part about it. All you girls out there, listen up – you won’t need to wear a hefty watch ever again once this one is out! This watch, like most of the LED watches, has an alarm, lights, and can show time. Although reading time on it is a bit difficult, once you get acquainted with it, it won’t be a problem I am sure. Another great thing about the watch is that the straps can be changed. You can use the dial (two triangles with the bridge in between) on any strap of your choice. That’s why we call it a fashion accessory. You can make it suit with any of your outfit. Another great factor that I personally like about this watch is the fact that even though it is a watch, it doesn’t look like one. Once you have it on your wrist, it would appear to others as a fashionable band instead of an LED watch. Isn’t that fun? Imagine, your mates ask you what time is it and you look at your watch (which they think of as a band) and tell them the time. They would be amused, and you would be proud and all smiling. That’s why Stephane created this one – to make all the ladies proud! Check out some more Tokyoflash watches here: Kisai Round Trip Watch and Madokadoke Watch.

You may be a gadget freak. You may be obsessed with being current by buying up-to-date technology. Whatever the case may be, you have to appreciate the sheer awesomeness that is the Sundial Ring. This Masterpiece is not only a brilliant example that technology based on simplicity is the most reliable, but it’s a beautiful piece of jewelry as well! A sundial ring measures time by the position of the Sun and, unlike some expensive watch, the sundial ring will never fail you because it does not run on batteries, or electricity or any technology! The Sundial Ring is older than technology itself, first showing up in 1152 when Eleanor of Aquitaine gifted it to her beloved Henry II to remind him to be punctual for their love trysts. The Sundial Ring has traveled through time and is now available. It's made of solid pewter and bronze, and measures approximately 1.3 inches in diameter. The ring is actually composed of two separate rings, one inlaid into the other with a hole drilled into the outermost ring. To use it, you must suspend the sundial by its chord on a sunny day, and through the hole, a ray of sunlight will illuminate a number corresponding with the time of the day. You can even tell the month of the year, by rotating the outer-ring to correspond with the time of the year stamped on the inside of the ring! Though, it won't give you a fresh feeling like the Kisai Round Trip Pocket Watch. Buy the Sundial-Ring at $34.99 and own the prettiest, most practical piece of jewelry!

Cinematic Zoom LED Watch Breaks Conventionality Subtly

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 10:26:01 +0000

It is very difficult to break conventionality as far as watches are concerned because of their basic functionality. But still, this very fact seems to have thrown a challenge to designers who are designing new watches everyday, not only looking different but also showing time in their own unique ways. Logan has created a new Tokyoflash watch design Cinematic Zoom LED Watch where the display digits are zoomed in and only a part of the number can be seen. It is not so easy to read time. Apparently, this stunning black watch with zoomed digits has been inspired by cinematic zooms. It is a very stylish LED watch and will look awesome on any wrist. It will surely get a lot of attention. Logan has in fact designed a brilliant conventional LED watch, but the subtle zoomed-in effect, brightly lit red LED digits, which are partially visible increases the overall unconventional appeal of the watch. It is a very creative thought to zoom in on time for a change. Do you want to take a look at a couple of more unconventional watch designs?

Bicycle Powered Washing Machine is a Boon for the People of Developing Countries

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 10:10:00 +0000

Women are supposed to be experts at multi-tasking. When it comes to household chores multi-tasking becomes a necessity. However, this is hardly possible when washing clothes by hand. In many developing countries it is not possible to machine wash clothes due to the absence or scarcity of electric power or the absence of machine itself. Washing clothes by hand leaves one breathless and takes an awful amount of time. Mitch Shivers, a designer from Philippines, is probably well aware of the situation and his new Bicycle Powered Washing Machine is proof of the fact. Every time we pedal a bicycle we do produce some amount of energy. In countries pressed for energy it is wise to make use of every minute amount of energy produced. And this idea gave birth to a bicycle powered washing machine. Mitch Shiver’s washing machine consists of a simple bicycle, a 30-gallon drum and an extra wheel to support the drum. When you want to go shopping or workout a bit or just want to go out on a joy ride, throw your dirty clothes into the drum and start pedaling. By the end of your trip you will be returning home with a load of washed clothes. All you now need to do is let them dry completely. This bicycle powered washing machine comes as a welcome gift for those people living in the developing or underdeveloped countries where electricity is yet miles away. Numerous women have to spend several hours each day washing and drying clothes. This washing machine will not only share the load of washing but will also assist in doing other house-related work. The clothes drum of the machine has been painted in bright colors to give them an even more attractive look. You can have one painted according to your own customized designs giving it your personal touch. This is not the first time bicycle power has been used to power any appliance. One very old use of the pedaling power has been the knife sharpening job. In the past we have also seen designers trying to use pedaling power to run generators, blenders, and the very recent mobile charger. Energy is scarce and we all need to use it economically. The use of sustainable energy is being experimented everywhere and put to use wherever possible. This does not only make use of energy that might have gone to waste but also helps maintain a green environment.

The Bicycle Chain Lamp Lights Up Your Table

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:00:13 +0000

A bicycle without its chain is not a bicycle. But the chain is not limited to a bicycle. Its structure and function have allowed designers to put it to a number of other uses. In fact these are areas which are not related to a bicycle in any way. For example, one of the recent entrants in the list is the ‘B-Chain Lamp’ by Korean designer Cho Hyung Suk. The B-Chain Lamp is a table lamp that functions like any other of its kind. It has a base and a lamp shade with a leg in between. Like many other table lamps this lamp too can allow adjustments in height. So what is so unique about this B-Chain Lamp? Take a look at its leg. It is made from a part of a bicycle chain. The chain is one of a bicycle's most important parts. It is this part that facilitates the movement of the vehicle. Without it, no matter how hard you pedal, the bike will not move - not even an inch, from its place. This is so because the chain is made up of numerous interlocking units. When one part moves, it forces the other to move. Since it is in the form of a circular chain, the entire unit starts to go round and round in one place forcing the rear wheel to move, which in turn forces the front one to move. Cho Hyung Suk has made use of this interlocking functionality of the chain. There are four single modules with eight joints in all that comprise this lamp’s leg. Stainless steel nuts and bolts have been used to fasten all the joints. The eight joints grant great amount of flexibility to this lamp allowing it to be positioned at various heights and orientations. As a user you can also add additional modules to the lamp's leg or take away some to get a different height. What you have over here is a super flexible lamp shade that can be adjusted for every seating position. As of now, Cho Hyung Suk has made only two variants of the B-Chain Lamp – red and white. The basic color remains the same but the color of the wire, nuts, and bolts vary. The red lamp has a red wire and bold red bolts, while the white one has a white wire and steel bolts. The size of the lamp is 230x170x220mm and gives a very stylish appearance. It is a designer product that you would definitely appreciate your table top. Quin Lampshade and Time Light are few other lighting options that you can look at to illuminate your homes. Via: Yanko Design

Super Mario Picnic – Making Picnics More Fun-Filled for Your Kids!

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 14:10:26 +0000

Who says you need expensive stuff to make picnics fun-filled for your kids? If you are a mom you would know how easily children can lose motivation for family picnics. To be honest, they don’t like it and you won’t like it when they all go sad. So to excite them and amuse them, you need to take certain steps that can make each and everything delightful for them. How about decorating the tea time snacks or the breakfast like how this person did? I would say it’s a totally new approach towards adding joy to the minute things in life. Look at it, that is not anything expensive. Just a couple of snacks, which we all usually bring in picnics, decorated keeping in mind the different things from the Super Mario Bros. In other words, with just a little bit of effort, your picnic can turn out to be a Super Mario picnic for your kids! Don’t you think that idea would make the picnic a really memorable one for your kids? For sure it would! Imagine how excited they would be to get those mushrooms and grow bigger in size just like Super Mario does in the game; or how frantic they would be to hit the question mark box to see what’s in it. Like I said, sometimes smaller things in life that we don’t usually consider important can make some things even more worthwhile. I particularly like the mushroom tarts and the question mark box. Both of them are simple and I don’t think they took hours to be made. You can even get them from the bakery and just top them off to make them look like those. Some strawberry tarts topped with white candies or something similar, and some plain breads with a question mark as chocolate topper are just a few of what I think you can also do with so much ease. Overall, all the dishes here look really tasty and yup, I have a new theme now for my next family picnic, and I sure hope so do you.

Transparent Aqua Touchscreen Mobile Phone Is Surreal and Futuristic

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:24:54 +0000

Imagine holding a surreal water-based touchscreen mobile phone which lets you see through it. South Korean designer Bon Seop Ku has created this awesome concept design where the usual solid metallic cellphone simply transcends into a liquid state transparent Samsung “AQUA”. Apparently, the designer was inspired by water drawing on a table. This cellphone design is extremely futuristic and realistic too; but one cannot deny the awesome surreal aspect of it. Just like Salvador Dali’s clock, the cell looks fluid and soluble. Bon Seop Ku has created “AQUA” for Samsung, and going by the concept, it has a transparent body, graphic user interface, and AMOLED display. The water-based touchscreen simply enhances the fluid experience and apparently, one can remove icons by simply rubbing them off the display by hands. The mobile phone is ultra thin and runs on eco-friendly liquid battery. So overall in every aspect, AQUA is a highly fluid concept. Kudos to the designer for coming up with an artistic, delicate, and surreal idea. Now that we are discussing creative designs, do take a look at other concept designs like the ZNK 2010 Design and BackFlip iPhone Kickstand Case. Via: The Design Blog

It will suck in all the kinetic energy, and convert it into electricity that can actually be used straightaway. Also, you can even remove the device once you are done with the purpose. It’s not like the device will be there forever. It is an easily attachable and easily removable device. Moreover, the electricity stored in the device can also be used to recharge your cellphone, digital camera, and any other portable rechargeable gadget. Isn’t that cool? For sure that is! At least, you will cut down some from the electricity bill, and it will be easier for you to charge your gadgets on your way. It’s not only an environmental friendly way of consuming energy, but it is also a great way of sporting. Maybe we should call it the 21st century way of cycling. This device is especially great for long cycling tours with several intervals. You can easily store the energy and recharge it in an interval. Can it affect your speed or performance? Don’t even think that way! The device is light and small, so it won’t be a hindrance in your way to success. While it is on your wheels, others would think that it’s some sort of a speed enhancer, you can show them how it works, and impress them as well. I personally think this is the next best thing for every cycling enthusiast to have. If your cellphone battery or your iPod battery dies, take a break and recharge it! That’s probably the most creative thing we have seen this summer. Again, hats off to Fillpe! Check out some more gadgets here: The FitBit Tracker and The Moshi Matic. Via: Ecofriend

Mickey Mouse Looks Adorable as Mad Hatter!

admin — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:00:59 +0000

Mickey Mouse can never go out of vogue even during modern times when there is a deluge of so many action heroes in games and movies. The innocence and mischief of Mickey Mouse is very endearing and it doesn’t come as a surprise that Disney's Medicom Toys has given a makeover to good old Mickey Mouse as a Mad Hatter of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. There is a lot common madness in the two characters. I am sure those who have watched the recent Tim Burton’s movie based on Alice in Wonderland must have loved the makeover of the popular pirate movie hero Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter who is always there for the lost Alice, even though he is caught up in a time warp. Disney’s Medicom Toy is all set to release their new Toy Mickey Mouse as Mad Hatter in March 2011. It is an awesome collectible, colorful toy for the fans of Mickey Mouse, Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland, and Johnny Depp. This Disney designer toy is a part of Vinyl Collectible Dolls (VCD) series. What I love about it is - the facial expression, costume, and the pose of Mad Hatter that suits Mickey perfectly. If you want to see no one else except Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter then take a look at Medicom's Recreation of Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter and if want to throw a crazy tea party in Mad Hatter's honor, then you can order this Alice in Wonderland and Cheshire Cat Cake.

JOT Suction Cups – A Great Household Help

admin — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 11:11:26 +0000

Keys, pens, and other similar objects - small things but very important. When you need them the most they are not to be found anywhere. You look in drawers, on the table, in the bag, and every other possible place, only in vain. And where do you finally find them? Lying right in front of you all the time and yet having missed your eyes. This is a frustrating situation in which we have all been at some or the other time in our lives. The clutter around us causes great damages, especially time wastage in searching for things. Get rid of all such situations and live a comfortable life with Jot – a new set of suction cups that stick to the wall and promise to keep all your small but significant belongings secure. You find them when you want them. Jots are colorful, cute, and smart looking; one 4.5 cm diameter suction cup with two round projections. Both projections are so closely placed that you need to apply force to get between them. Due to their proximity with one another, they clasp anything that comes in between forming a firm grip on the object. Jot is available in an array of colors making it convenient for you to select the ones that best suit your room décor. They are meant to keep things securely hanging from walls and they do their job in style. Imagine having hooks placed all over your house. That really takes away the beauty of the room since hooks bring in that odd factor. Now try placing Jots in place of all these hooks. The look instantly changes to a much more elegant one. These suction cups can be easily placed on any kind of smooth surface. The only thing that you need to be careful of is to see to it that the surface is absolutely clean. A grimy surface will not give a firm grip and may cause it to come off within a short period. Cleaning them is no hassle. All you need to do is wipe with a damp towel and get a fresh looking Jot. They are suitable for all kinds of purposes and can be placed in your children’s room, the bathroom, behind the door, in the kitchen, over the table, near a mobile charging point, and many more such locations where you think you need. It all depends upon individual needs and each purpose can be successfully fulfilled. With Jot in your house no one will have an excuse to misplace things. Jot small objects around the house and be sure to find them when you need them. You can get one for yourself by spending $5.95.

The Handheld Espresso Maker

admin — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 17:02:43 +0000

If you are a coffee lover, then this Handheld Espresso Maker is an absolute must have. You no longer need those huge machines for making smooth espresso and you don’t even need to go to a café to have it. With this handheld device, you can make tasty, creamy, and smooth espresso coffee whether you are at work or at home. The best part is that it doesn’t work with electricity so you get the freedom of using it anywhere and everywhere. Besides, it looks chic too so you won’t feel embarrassed carrying around an espresso maker with you! How does it work? Do you see that spherical shaped body up there in the picture? That part holds the coffee and hot water, and you need to pull the trigger in order for it to gush out and give you the smoothest handmade coffee you have ever made. There are gas cartridges in the machine. These cartridges exert 9 bars of pressure on the coffee and water. Believe it or not, this type of pressure is not there in the machines. Their pressure level is way too low from this one. So, of course with that kind of pressure you can expect better espresso and I mean it! And, the cartridges are easily available in the market in case you are wondering. You don’t need to worry about the cartridges being used up. You can buy them from the markets easily and use it with this machine. One cartridge is capable of making around 8 cups of espresso coffee. Moreover, the dual spout can dose single and double shots.

Adidas Originals 2011 Teddy Bears Collection Look Cute on Shelf!

admin — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:11:22 +0000

Teddy bears are popular all over the world because they are cuddly, soft, and they offer a lot of warmth and comfort to lonely souls. Adidas Originals 2011 Teddy Bears collection is an awesome ode to the good old teddy bears, and the name itself speaks volumes about the warmth and comfort the shoes will offer. It does feel weird to see these teddy bears popping out of shoes, and they actually seem to be introducing comfortable pair of shoes for tired feet. But still, just like teddy bears themselves these shoes will look cool and cute more on a shelf than on legs. Shoes and teddy bears don’t go well together for adults for they make shoes appear childish and baby soft. It is not specified whether these shoes are for kids but they seem more appropriate for soft feet. Moreover Adidas has been more of a sports shoes brand and these shoes don’t seem to be sturdy sports shoes. If Adidas' plan is to reach out wider section of people who are not into sports and fashion related to sports then these funky colorful teddy bears shoes collection may do the trick. The trick is to attract people by offering something new and different. If you are looking for more crazy geeky shoes then do take a look at Gravity Defying Shoes or Adjustible Heels Shoes.

Small Lightweight Necessity: The Fingertip Heart Rate Monitor

admin — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 11:02:04 +0000

Nowadays, everything comes in small packages, meaning in portable form or even if it was portable before, it has become even smaller. Now you'll see the small gadget that I will be talking about also follows this example. Initially, as I remember how my father used to strap it to his chest in order to check his heart rate, I also remember his usual complaints about how uncomfortable it is and all that. Then to his relief and of the people same his age, a new gadget came into the market in which you just have to press a button, and you will know instantly your heart’s condition. Still, neither of these devices were that accurate. Now, the latest addition to such devices is the Fingertip Heart Rate Monitor. It's very simple to use and a lot more accurate than its predecessors; reading accurate up to ±2 beats-per-minutes. Now, moving on to how to use this device to check your heart beat, all you have to do is to clip your finger on the device, and that's it. It will give you information regarding your EKG. One very useful thing about it, is its small size. See the statistics: It is 2.25 inches long, 1.25 inches wide, and 1.25 inches tall. Now about it’s weight (or more accurately mass), it is 2 oz., in grams that amounts to 57 grams; so it is extremely lightweight. All these things in the end contribute to the fact that you can keep it in your pocket without feeling its weight. Moreover, it is not uncomfortable at all unlike the tools that came before it, which cause much discomfort. Also, as the previous devices were time consuming, this one is almost instantaneous. I mean, all you have to do is to just put your finger in between its clips, wait for a few seconds, and that’s it - you will know about your pulse rate in that much time. Convenient, isn’t it? Overall, I would say that it’s a very useful tool and almost a necessity today, as heart problems are increasing day by day. People are in need of checking their pulse rate as often as they can, and whenever they want, without too much of a hassle, and this thing surely solves their problem...it costs only $99.95. For other cool gadgets, you should also see the CoolWare Personal Cooling System, the Color Changing Light Bulb or the Keyport Slide.

OTTO – A Great Cooling Fan With a Wooden Body

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:55:34 +0000

Summer may not be here yet; but when it comes, it comes with all might. The heat outside travels indoors and leaves you longing for a breeze of cool air. This summer, try using Otto instead of switching on the air conditioner. You will be amazed with the results.There is an old saying that ‘old is gold’. Same is the case with Otto. Swiss designer Carlo Borer has made use of the old concept of a fan and has given it brand new looks. The fan has a wooden body that has been made of African sapele. This is a large deciduous tropical tree that is native to Africa. In many respects the wood carries qualities similar to that of mahogany with the same smooth fine grain appearance. It not only appears good but is also very durable, making it absolutely suitable for everyday use. The wood used in the fan has been oiled twice to give it the matte effect. The high grade stainless steel frame of the fan gels comfortably with the natural beauty of the wooden frame and complements one another. With height-adjustable legs you can easily alter the height of Otto and make it suit your needs. The fan also carries a three-speed adjustable quality giving you the comfort of choosing your speed level. To a great extent it does look like the ones from older days but has its own set of qualities. One basic difference that you would find is in the looks of the fan. Or shall we say, you would not notice the fan among your furniture, be it by sight or sound. The wooden body hides it among the room décor and its whisper silent operation is hardly audible. The size of Otto is neither too large nor too small. With a size of 36.5cm x 35.5cm x 19cm it handsomely sits on your table. Unlike older models this fan is not at all bulky and can easily be carried around your house or even to your office. Apart from good looks Otto is also an excellent means to help you save on your electricity bills. Consider the difference between the two: a typical air conditioner would consume 100 watts, while Otto would use up a meager 45 watts. That is a great amount of saving. Qualities of Otto are gaining popularity. It is best to book one for yourself now at the rate of $199 or you may not get the opportunity to own one.

Turn the Rug Season – One Rug For All The Seasons!

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:55:03 +0000

Alright, ladies here is something for you! Turn the Rug Season is the mat we all have been waiting for. You don’t need to buy new mats for every season, not at least now. With this Turn the Rug Season, you don’t have just one mat, but two; for the spring season and for the autumn season. You must have guessed it by now that it’s a dual facet mat. All you need to do is to flip it to see the other side. One side has brown falling leaves and the other side has green leaves. Which means that you can use it in spring as well as in autumn. Now, it truly depends on what you want. If you want to have the autumn side in mid spring, you can; and if not it’s your choice. I would rather want to go by the season, but I know people who like going against the nature with their own mood swings. So, this one mat can prove to be the coolest one they would have ever seen. Now apart from the looks, let’s talk about the mat’s make. It is made of dual durable material, which of course is any day better than a single durable material mat. It has two layers on both the sides, and they don’t detach from each other. They stick together, and you can expect this mat to stay there in front of your doorstep for at least a decade. What more can you say about such an impeccable thing. I wish I could get my hands on it, and keep it right outside my doorstep. First of all, it’s a lovely mat on both sides, and secondly, the dual facet aspect makes me drool over it even more. I mean, at least I wouldn’t have to keep changing the mats every now and then to make it look in compliance with the weather. This is just an all-in-one solution for me and for everyone else out there who is tired of changing mats. God Bless you, unknown designer of these mats!

Solight – A Solar Plant Providing Healthier Surroundings

admin — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:10:11 +0000

In a cartoon film that I saw with my niece, there was a character trying to grow a plant under the light of a table lamp. He, in fact, succeeded and had a beautiful plant growing right in his living room. At that moment that appeared very weird. How could one grow a plant in a pot under the light of a bulb? Strange enough, this is now becoming true. Thanks to designer Lee Ju Won. Lee Ju Won has designed a solar light named ‘Solight’ keeping the urban lifestyle in mind. All those living in large cities are well aware of the fact that sunlight in high rises is a rare sight – definitely not enough to grow plants. Because of this factor, many of us give up the thought of having that little bit of greenery around us. Not any more. Solight is a device that clings to the window panes all day long and absorbs as much solar energy as possible. You cannot drag sunlight to a particular place in your house, but with Solight you can trap the sun in its solar panels and trick your plant into thinking that what it is getting is natural sunlight. After all what difference does it make to a plant whether it is light directly from the sun or parceled in a lamp? It is only concerned with flourishing with all its might. A favorable condition is all that it needs. Shaped like a table lamp, Solight has three solar panels placed on its exterior. With the position of the sun changing all day, it is bound to be shifting from one side of your flat to the other. To trap its light, you can easily move Solight to all those different places and stock up on ‘sunlight’. The battery in the lamp is charged using this solar power. When your plants need this energy all you need to do is place the plant under the light, switch it on, and let it feed itself. The LEDs used in the light are keeping in sync with the concept of green energy. The red LED aids growth in the plant while the green LED with the red one helps in the process of photosynthesis. It also helps prevent damages to the plant from harmful insects. While you see your plants bloom under the Solight you are also assured that a shield has been created around it to keep it safe from pests. This wonderful new design takes you a step closer to having a greener and healthier surrounding.

Tell Time in an Innovative Way with LED Flower Watch Design Bloom

admin — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 14:10:07 +0000

The new watch design from Tokyoflash Design Studio truly changes the manner and style of watches forever. The LED Flower Watch Bloom design depicts time in the most unique way of all, with the help of blooming flowers. This watch, which has no clasp but can be worn like a bangle is more of a jewelry accessory than a watch, which makes it a definite must for those who love such accessories. Added to this is the unique way of which you can tell the time. With this watch, the number of petals depicts the time of the day, with the largest flower showing the hours. It is important to note that each petal denotes one hour, while the circle at the center denotes 6 hours. The smaller flowers depict the minutes, with the upper flower showing minutes by tens, and the lower one showing minutes in single digits. The circle at the center of the smaller flower in the lower end of the watch denotes five minutes, while the circle at the center of the other smaller flower denotes whether it is morning or evening. So, gear up to tell time in a new way with this LED Flower Watch. For some other innovative ideas to tell time, check out the Dot LED Bracelet Watch and the Kisai Round trip pocket watch.

The small 8 ½" tall My Little Cthulhu Vinyl glow in the dark figure, designed by John Kovalik of the Dork Tower fame, and costing $27.99 is worth every dime.

Ice Cream Ball

Who doesn’t love ice cream!? Everyone does and that is exactly what makes this Ice Cream Ball so special. Remember those summer days when your kids go all crazy as soon as they spot an ice cream van? It might be exciting, but of course nobody wants to spend cash on something they can make at home. In fact, making ice cream at home is more fun. And, if you want to take the initiative then this Ice Cream Ball is for you. The best part of all is when you can do all of this without any wires or sockets! Wouldn’t that be great fun? It sure would be… This is one thing that will not only make the whole ice cream making process fun, but it will also make it easier. How does it work? It’s pretty simple – all you need to do is to put in all your ice cream ingredients in this ball with cram ice and play with the ball. Your ice cream will be ready in 20 minutes, and there you go! But of course, you need to take some precautions; you can’t play volleyball with it! You will get perfect ice cream, but that depends on the ingredients you put in. If you are not good at making ice cream then I would suggest reading some recipes before opting for it. You don’t want to eat salty ice cream or ice cream that plainly doesn’t taste good, do you? Here are some specifications of this ice cream ball: - Never kick or drop the ball please - Never use any metal spoon as it can scratch the container. Use wooden or plastic spoons. - You get a recipe book, an instruction sheet, one opening tool, and of course, one ball in the package. The package is available for £24.99 How does it exactly work? The functionality of this ball is based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which says that when two systems come in contact with each other their difference tend to even out. Now, when the cold ice comes in contact with the warmer cream mixture, the ice will start melting. It not only melts, but after some time it starts freezing again. In simple words, the ice melts, blends with the ingredients, and then, finally it freezes back giving you smoother ice cream!

Think of those innumerable times that we have bought bottles of drinking water, had our fill, and threw them off casually into the nearest bin? It is estimated that around one hundred and fifty billion water bottles are thrown away each year, globally. Plastic takes decades to decay and ends up choking Mother earth. It is high time we focused on saving nature and earth and balancing the ecosystem a lot of thought. That would of course mean more taps and less of bottled water. This is where Aquatina scores by way of practicality and originality. A full bottle of Aquatina can hold 500 ml of water. Drink your fill and it shrinks to one-third of its original size to fit snugly into your pocket or handbag. This way, it needs not be thrown away and can be used a lot more times. Since it is portable, you can refill it any time and need not be discarded. Aquatina is environment-friendly; refill it just three times and its carbon is neutralized compared to random bottles that are bought off the shelves. You never need to feel thirsty again, when you have an Aquatina ready at hand. Aquatina is economical too. It costs just five pounds and then nothing else to fill and refill. Aquatina has the following unique features. a. Collapsible pocket bottle. b. It expands to hold 500 ml of water. c. Easy to carry around. d. Has a wide neck for easy cleaning. e. Dishwasher safe. f. It is safe to use repeatedly. g. When empty, it compresses to one-third its original size. Aquatina is just great for a variety of users - school kids, tourists, runners, walkers, picnickers, commuters, artists, etc. It is produced in recyclable polycarbonate and tested Bisphenol-free. Aquatina is available with personalized screen printing for use by larger companies and events. It has a secure water tight lid. Aquatina is a great environmental initiative and will help in the drastic reduction in the use of single plastic bottles. The creation of this stylish, eco-friendly collapsible bottle was initially dismissed as impossible by design experts because of the problems inherent in blow moulding technology. But after a year long research, Aquatina has been created by Wares Design and manufactured by William Beckets Plastics, both situated at Sheffield. Experience an entirely unique way of quenching thirst, with Aquatina. Fill it, drink it, and squeeze it into your bags, have no qualms about having to choke Mother Earth by discarding used plastic.

Moebius Ring Watch Design Concept for the Geometrically Inclined!

admin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 16:55:58 +0000

Modern designs are very interesting and innovative because each new design challenges the old conventional and traditional concepts. Different watch designs displayed at Tokyoflash are proof of the fact that designers want to break conventions. For instance, take a look at this Moebius Ring watch design by Anders. Only geometrically and mathematically inclined geek minds will appreciate and love this watch which is so unlikely to traditional timepieces. Moebius Ring watch design has two non-numerical dials and the watch looks more like a designer bracelet. In fact, no one will realize that this bracelet hides a watch for the dials themselves are helical rings divided into sections to read hour and minutes, respectively. Only when looked at closely and keenly, one can see that these helix shapes are Moebius rings, which tell time when LED lights up different sections. Moebius rings are geometrical shapes that have intrigued mathematicians and genius minds over ages. It is an excellent watch design concept for it tells time in a unique way, and it takes a while to understand how to read time, so geeks will love to decipher this watch. Those who have no interest in mathematics and geometry can wear it anyway for it looks very stylish and elegant. Here are a couple of other equally intriguing unique watch designs - Triangle LED Watch Design and Kisai Round Trip Watch.

18 Craziest and Most Bizarre Wedding Themes

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:05:01 +0000

Wedding Day is one of the most important days in one’s life, and probably the last day when you want your bizarre personality to be shown in public.

However, to some people, having a wedding the way everyone thinks it should be is not exciting enough. Some choose horrifying zombie costumes over beautiful wedding dresses. Some childishly dress up like superheroes. And some give their beloved a heart attack with a breathtaking ceremony.

We have made the list of 18 craziest and most bizarre wedding themes, or in another word, 18 weddings that you would never want to have for yourself.

Zombie Wedding

Zombies are probably the last thing you would want to see at a wedding, especially at your own wedding. Apparently, this couple have another idea. They chose to waste a lot of time and money on makeup and costumes to make themselves look exactly like they'd just stepped out of a graveyard on their third wedding. Every time they broke up, they got married again. Given their choice for the wedding theme, we can understand why their relationship has that much drama.

Halloween Wedding

If one Halloween a year is not creepy enough for you, your wedding day is a good day to turn into another one. Sounds fun? Of course it does, only if the bride is Christina Aguilera.

Gothic Wedding

Sometimes Gothic can be cool, like in architecture, but definitely not when it comes to wedding. But compared to Zombie and Halloween wedding, the Gothic theme doesn’t sound too bad.

Underwater Wedding

A wedding 5 meters underwater of an Italian couple is officially the world’s largest underwater wedding with 261 divers during an event organized by MARES S.p.A. (Italy) at the Morcone beach, Capoliveri, Elba Island, Italy in June 2010. With snorkels and all the diving gears, somehow they still managed to kiss.

Skydiving Wedding

There is no better way to have your marriage on a high than having a skydiving wedding. It also provides you an ultimate exit option out of your marriage. If you suddenly regret, just don’t open the parachute.

Cliff Hanging Wedding

People like to do crazy things together. Suspended from a cliff by sling wires, 4 Thai couples are saying, ‘I do’ in a ‘flying wedding’ ceremony to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Not recommended for brides who want to wear fancy wedding dresses on their “big day”.

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Wedding

Every girl grows up dreaming of a Fairy Tale Wedding and some actually make it! This Peter Pan and Tinkerbell wedding is beautiful, but hopefully it will stop them from their childish games to make the marriage work.

Shrek Theme Wedding

Touched by the ultimate love between the green beast and the beautiful princess, a couple decided to have a wedding theme based on this popular animated movie. The bride was dressed up like Princess Fiona while the groom as Shrek. The couple also looks amazingly similar to the characters in the animation.

Star Trek Wedding

It is any Star Trek fan’s dream to get married at the Enterprises and have the whole crew as the guests. A couple actually had their dream come true in Las Vegas. It’s a Star Trek wedding between a Vulcan groom and a Klingon bride.

Star Wars Wedding

If even Star Trek can inspire a real-life wedding, there is no reason why Star Wars cannot. A Ukrainian couple has celebrated an unforgettable wedding, dressing up like characters from the popular series.

Lord of the Rings Wedding

The ring in this case is the ring that ties two human beings together for the rest of their lives. How many people can say Gandalf the White married them?

Superman Wedding

It must have taken a lot of nerve for the bride and the groom to wear the Superman’s signature underwear in public on their wedding day. Tony Lucchese and Sarah LaFore went all the way when it was time to plan their wedding, with costumed heroes and Amazonian princesses, and wedding vows straight out of Superman.

Batman and Wonder Woman Wedding

It seems like a lot of people want to feel like superheroes on their wedding day. Sharon and Neil Vaughan decided to marry as Wonder Woman and Batman, while Sharon’s bridesmaids came as the PowerPuff Girls while other guests included Superman, the Incredibles, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, and Captain America.

Cat Themed Wedding

It is bizarre, yet understandable why people want to look like superheroes on their wedding day. But why would someone want to look like an animal, (in this case, a cat) on their wedding day? This Russian couple obviously has a different taste.

Hello Kitty Wedding

After seeing a “real cat” themed wedding, this Hello Kitty wedding is kind of cute. At least the bride and the groom didn’t try to doll up themselves to look like the comic baby pink cat.

Halo Game Wedding

Once upon a time, a guy and a girl met online when they were playing a game and fell in love. To commemorate their fateful encounter, they decided to have a wedding based on that game. No, it is not a Korean drama. Desirai Labrada, aka SickNdehed and John Henry really had a super geeky and memorable Halo Themed Wedding.

Clown Wedding

Dressed up like two clowns, the bride and groom must have tried to prove that marriage is a joke.

Weird Object Wedding

Do you have any idea what those little drum-look-alike objects hanging around the heads of the bride, the groom, and every attendee in the wedding above are? Neither do I.

Alien Heels

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 17:55:00 +0000

Let’s admit it, there are some movies that have left a mark on the way the movie industry works today. Movies like the Matrix, Terminator 2, Predators, and of course, the Aliens franchise. It is always great to see stuff from such movies being brought into the real life. Unfortunately, not everything that has been brought into reality from movies works well down here. But, some of the things are actually mind-blowing. And, these Alien Heels are of such things! The shoes were designed long time back by the late designer Alexander McQueen. Well, yes that’s a bit of a sad story because you won’t be able to buy them today. Oh, and I forgot to mention that these shoes were just a one-off production so well, yes they are out of stock! Or, a much better way of putting it would be that THEY WERE NEVER in STOCK!!! Right now, I am wondering who's the lucky person who has got his/her hands on these shoes. Honestly, they are not just any weird looking shoes for movie buffs, but they are actually pretty stylish and good looking. Imagine a slim tall lady wearing them on a nice gray or matte black skirt, wouldn’t that be the best sight of your life? For a while imagine, how appealing these shoes would look. I am sure if you had worn them in an occasion, all the guys would be looking at your legs! Now, if you are not the type who wants guys to look at her legs that’s fine but for most of them this trick would have worked. Sadly, the chance is now gone. The shoes are gone, and we don’t really know when the next pair will be produced. I mean, look at the carvings and look at those blue stones on the front part. They look utterly astonishing, and to be honest, I think these are one of the best shoes I have seen ever. Although I don’t usually like such shoes, these actually made me go all crazy. I would have loved to buy them but well, my bad… Check out some more unique shoes here: The Hand Made Shoes and The Adidas Originals 2011 Teddy Bears Collection. Via: Neatorama

Baby Nest - Infant Incubator

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 09:55:30 +0000

It is usually depressing for parents to find out that their child is premature. Of course, there are various ways you can bring the child to normality, but if you don’t, it can have severe effects on the child’s psychological and physical development. The more unfortunate fact is that the medical expense for taking care of such babies is way too much. If you have medical insurance, you can survive it, but if you don’t, you are in deep trouble, and so is your child. For this very reason, people have been trying hard to come up with solutions that offer better health care at lower rates. This is where the Baby Nest I-plus fits in. Well, we can’t really say that the clinics that would keep these incubators would give their services on lower rates, but we can hope for that at least. Why? The reason is pretty simple – these incubators would make their lives easier, which in return should make ours easier too. Let’s talk about the features… This incubator comes with a number of features, which are ideal for any nurse or caretaker to make sure they are taking care of the baby well. It is an enclosed neonatal intensive care microenvironment, which not only takes care of the needs of children but also of the caretaker. There are various drawers and sections attached with the incubator to keep the necessary things. Nurses would, of course, feel good having such an incubator in which everything they need would be at their assistance. Basically, the whole concept here is to simplify the process, and make it not only easier but effective as well for both; nurses and babies. Check out the pictures with details, and you’ll know what this incubator is capable of doing. The product was designed by the folks are DESIGNNOBIS and it for sure is a great one. I am actually amused and happy to see such a thing come up instead of all those going green car concepts and stuff. It’s nice to know that people out there are also interested in making such stuff.

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 09:55:56 +0000

The Upside Down Apron Cooking Guide is an apron, which apart from performing the regular functions has one very vital feature that transforms the apron from useful to being brilliant efficiency. If you look at the apron, at first glance it looks like any regular apron. But once your eyes travel to the bottom of the apron you will see a wonderful set of cooking instructions printed upside down, for the user to read it the right side up. This wonderful apron actually acts like a cookbook with loads of instructions, information, and useful tips like a liquid conversion chart, chicken and turkey roasting guide, dry goods conversion chart, common measurement abbreviations, poultry defrosting table, temperature conversion chart, cooking times for boiling, roasting, microwaving, and steaming common ingredients, freezer lifespan table, spaghetti serving size guide, steak finger test, rice, butter, and egg charts, and a cooking terms glossary. The apron comes in natural, unbleached cotton; with soft, thick straps rendering it so comfortable it’s probably even good enough to sleep in and has a wonderfully large pocket on the front to put those odds and ends. It is indeed attractive like the Digital Weighing Scale. Gone are the days when you need that blessed cookbook as your cooking bible. At just under $30 you can solve those common cooking conundrums with the Upside Down Apron Cooking Guide instead! And to have some fun along, the Puzzle Cutting Board should do the job.

Overgrowth TV Console Creates Awesome Natural Surroundings for TV

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 11:15:29 +0000

Urban homes have all kinds of modern electronic gadgets, which make life easy and provide lots of entertainment too. But still, often times it becomes difficult to breathe in urban spaces when modern hectic life stresses us out, and instead of switching on TV or computers, we do seek out green open spaces. We must opt ways green for more than one reason, and this very need seems to have inspired Alan Goh to create this Overgrowth TV Console design for placing television itself in a homegrown wild green patch. Modern designers are becoming more futuristic, and they are creating innovative designs keeping in mind the harsh realities. We do need to grow green in the concrete jungle to save the environment and the planet. Alan Goh’s TV console has green sprouting out of it at different places. This console symbolizes the fact that weeds and plants can grow even in concrete cracks, and they don’t need much tending and care. We can include green in our homes and daily life without worrying about nitty gritty of home gardening. Another beauty of Overgrowth TV Console design is that one can put away all additional TV accessories, gadgets, and wires in the inner sections of the console. So you will be actually mounting your TV set in a natural surrounding, and I am sure this will be less stressful for our senses for green will soothe the eyes, which get strained by watching too much of television. If you want to add greenery to your concrete urban space, then do check out Mini Kitchen Garden, and if you don't like natural green plants, then you could bring home Flip Flop Solar Plant.

Tubes with a Difference: Strapya Mini Speakers are Cute

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:55:26 +0000

Sometimes, what appears to be, need not be what it’s supposed to be. Take the tube mini speaker for example. Marketed by Strapya World, the mini speakers appear like tubes of cosmetics or any other stuff that is available in a tubular form. The speakers – available in five bright colours, stand on their caps and, most importantly, do not roll over when placed on their sides. It would be, perhaps, wrong to use slang to describe these speakers, but the fact remains that these mini contraptions are funky, cool, and swank. The younger generation – especially the college-going crowd, who pride themselves as being hep and happening, will get a further boost with this latest addition to technology. Mobility [size of the speaker is approximately 11.5 cm height x 5 cm weight x 3 cm dimension] and conspicuousness will not pose a problem as the appliance does not require any heavy lugging, and is as inconspicuous as it could be. The only attachments necessary are the audio cable requisite for connecting the device in order to avail of its services, and a USB cable required to charge the gadget. The directions for utilizing the speaker are very simple and completely unlike any other modern gizmos. The socket or the jack to insert the plug [audio and USB cable of 3.5 mm] is located near the side of the tube. When required to be used, the user needs to just plug in the necessary cord to either a mobile phone or any other music device. Users, however, need to know that the speaker, when connected to a mobile phone, needs to have a converter in order to permute and adapt the format of the songs effectively. Additionally, it also has to be noted that iPods are not compatible with these speakers, though considering the developments happening in the world of technology, it would not be wrong to assume that there soon would be a better evolved version of the tube speaker. Getting back to other specifications pertaining to the speaker, the volume control in the tube is controlled by manoeuvring the caps in a clockwise and anti-clockwise manner. In order to switch off the device, one has to remove the audio cable and rotate the cap counter clockwise. While charging, one has to pay attention to the light located above the plug jack. Once the light is off, it indicates that the speaker is fully charged and ready to be used. Users also need to pay special attention to product guidelines which states that the tubular speaker needs to be kept away from heat, moisture, and vibration which may pose problems in the working of the device. Avoiding the above mentioned factors – easy as easy could be. Strapya World markets the Colorful Tube Mini Speaker at 1,280 Japanese Yen, which amounts to around $23.20. At first glance, it might look to be expensive but considering the sheer innovativeness of the product, and the thinking involved in designing such a gizmo, one can think twice about rejecting the offer to own such a techo-ware. Listening to music can be so much fun with amazing gadgets such as USB Wine Bottle Speaker and iMo Resonance Speakers.

It is almost like taking a trial of a shirt at a store. After all it is important to try a shirt before buying it to get the perfect fit. The mannequin has been designed by Fits.me, an Estonian start-up. With this creation, they claim to be capable of solving one of the greatest problems of online apparel purchase. For the moment, this facility is only available for the male shoppers. The mannequin has been created by using scientific algorithms, and is based on over 30,000 3D male body scans. The entire figure is a collection of a number of small pieces put together which shift into 2000 different body shapes. That is an amazing number of male body shapes, which is sure not to leave anyone disappointed. From the retailer’s point of view also, this will come as a welcome change in the online shopping scene. Customers get to try apparels which will make them more certain about their purchase. This will not only increase online sales, but will also reduce the apparel return rates. With the launch of this facility for women, there is sure going to be a major jump in apparel sales. But that might take some time as creating a female robot mannequin will not be a very easy task. For now, it is all for males. Geeky Sensible Clothing and Zipper Dress Design are few other varieties in the clothesline that you would like to know about. Via: Cnet

Water Powered Clock: An innovative way to check time

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 16:42:13 +0000

For all of you who love something unique, the water-powered clock is a definite must. Attractively designed in translucent blue for its sides and a mirrored glass front, this clock is a must-buy for those who love their table clocks. The best part of this clock, which costs $9.99, is that it is powered through water, or for that matter, any liquid. Of course, one believes that water is the best liquid to power it. The creators have ensured that internal converter in the clock converts the water or liquid molecules into electrons that are passed in a steady stream of current, which in turn powers the battery. The display for time and date is in the front, which is visible as soon as you fill the reservoirs behind with water or any liquid. What's more, you can actually use the reservoirs as flower holders, making it a really neat deal. It is interesting to note that this 6"x4"x2-1/2" clock does not come with the battery, which you have to purchase separately but despite that, it is still a great way to read time and date. Check out the fancy vinyl wall clocks and the color pattern clock for bringing some innovativeness to the way you keep track of time.

The TITAN High-Roller Suitcase for Frequent Travelers

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:50:58 +0000

Are you a frequent flier? Are you at times late for your flight? Do you find commuting within the airport too troublesome? If you fall in any of these situations you should be welcoming this brand new concept of a suitcase fitted with a high roller.The TITAN High-Roller Suitcase is a new design in the suitcase segment from designer Sindre Klepp. How innovative could one get with a suitcase? Ask Sindre. Wheeling your luggage around is not a new concept. It has been around for quite some time. We all agree with the fact that wheels in a luggage make it easy to carry along. The TITAN too has wheels, but the difference here is that it not only helps you wheel your luggage but also wheels you along. Take a look at its design. The suitcase looks like any other hard luggage strolley with a pull-along handle on one side. The bottom section has a flexible roller blade that can be pulled out to form the foot rest. When completely extended, the entire unit resembles a scooter with a handle, two front wheels (these are usually at the back but for design sake have been placed on the front), a foot rest, and a rear wheel. So next time you are running late for a check-in at the airport, just pull out the rear wheel, and zoom your way across to the check-in counter. You might have heads turning in your direction but everything out of the ordinary does attract attention. The suitcase has purposes beyond a normal suitcase. One of its sides has a detachable section that houses the laptop. Once the laptop has been removed it leaves an open indent in the suitcase cover. This too can serve your purpose. When seated in the aircraft, slide the suitcase under the seat in front of you. Make sure to keep the indent part facing up. This will serve as an excellent foot rest. Summing up the qualities of the suitcase we realize that we have a multi-talented piece of product here. It is a ‘vehicle’, a laptop case, and also a comfortable foot rest. What other piece of luggage can boast of serving so many functions in one go? TITAN is available in a wide range of colors making it easy for everyone to choose one for him/herself. Though black would be the preferred one for executives, girls are sure to go for the bright blue, red, or green ones. Here is a new piece of luggage on the block for a completely new traveling experience. Samsonite Strolley and Texthook are other product designs that you might like to know about.

admin — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:30:10 +0000

This package of lunch box with salt and pepper shakers brings the Amazon-princess-turned- super heroine close at hand. With the lunch kit, all you need to do for an amazing power lunch is shaking a little on your meal. The salt and pepper shakers are 6-inches tall and can easily carry as many amounts of salt or pepper as you want. The wonderful twist of the salt and pepper shaker is easy and fun to use for kids above 3 years. The lunch box makes an impact with an artfully decorated Wonder Woman all over the shell. The artwork will be particularly liked by girls, as Wonder Woman apparently is a member of an all-female tribe of Amazon, sent to “man’s world” as an ambassador. The people of Amazon consider her as Princess Diana as she secretly crowns herself with the identity of Prince Diana. The powers of Wonder Woman are highly enjoyable to witness as she practices them with vigor and strength. She is known for her super strength, flight and hand-to-hand compatibility. For those who did not know her weapons of power, she uses the Lasso of Truth, which forces people bound by it to tell the truth, an invisible plane, and a pair of bullet-deflecting bracelets. Priced at an affordable $20.99, the wonder woman lunch box with salt and pepper shakers can make you feel the prowess of Wonder Woman to attract people. The lunch box and the matching salt and pepper shakers measure 6.5”W x 3.25”D x 5.5”H, and are easy to hand wash as they are made of ceramic. Weighing 13.6 ounces, the lunch box is lightweight and can be easily carried in a bag. The portability and space inside the lunch box increase its scope and can be carried anywhere and everywhere. The lunch box is a reasonable buy as it helps to keep the comfort levels bound without disturbing the space in the carrier bag, and letting you carry as much as you want. The parts of the lunch box are also easy to remove and hand wash. In addition, there is special space for each shaker so that you do not have to stuff it with your meal. Moreover, the lunch box is smaller than the standard size of a lunch box, and carries colors that appeal to the eye. Hello Kitty Bento Lunchbox and Hello Kitty Lunchbox Designs are few more designs in the category of lunch boxes that you might like to carry.

Helix the New Watch Design Concept

admin — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:00:46 +0000

Let’s admit that this is one of the most fascinating and unique watch designs we have seen this year. It is the brainchild of Logan from USA, and it looks stylish as well has a complete futuristic design. For sure this one makes me feel that LED watches are taking over now. Although I have always thought that LED watches are not for me, such designs and concepts have made me changed my mind. I would love to have one of these for me. According to Logan, the concept behind this Tokyoflash watch is to have a unique yet simple to use watch. Although it looks difficult, reading time on it is no big deal. The best part about this watch is that the time is displayed in a DNA structure-like way. The blue lines show hours from 1 to 12. Yellow ones show minutes in groups of 5. And the green dots there show single minutes. The beauty is that all these vibrant colors are displayed on a dial which is completely pitch black. They would glow and make the watch look more attractive. Although it looks difficult in the pictures, reading time is pretty easy on the watch. The time increase in one direction and of course the number lights increases too with it. Earlier some time we saw a similar watch named the Infection watch which looked quite similar as well. We loved that one and we'll love this one too. Believe it or not, it is a totally fresh concept and is highly attractive and amusing. That small key on the top right of the dial is another adornment to the watch. Apart from all the functions and features of the watch, it looks stylish and rugged too. Although I don’t really know how tough it is in real, from the pictures I can say it would be sturdy enough to bear normal shocks. The straps I am guessing are made of hard plastic or rubber but I don’t really have a clue on that one. Anyhow, it’s nice to see designers coming up with better designs every day. Good job Logan!

LED Bracelet Watch Design

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:50:04 +0000

How about we say this one is from the Star Trek franchise? Will you believe that? Of course anyone would do but the truth is it’s neither from Star Trek nor has it been inspired from it. It is a new watch design from the TokyoFlash Design Studio that looks more like a bracelet than a watch. It looks nice but I wouldn’t say it’s an excellent design. I don’t think it has that x-factor that would make people go all wow once they see this one on your wrist. So, to me it’s just another LED watch design which for sure is unique like most of them but is not something I would die for. Although I must admit that the designer of this watch must have put his heart and soul into making something that would stand out from the rest. First off, the design is highly amusing (not catchy though). It can make you stare at it for a while until you feel that it’s clumsy. Maybe you won’t feel that way unlike me. The outer lines show the hours whereas minutes are showed in digits like a standard digital watch. So that’s pretty easy right? Once you have this watch you’ll know for sure how easy it is to read time on it. The best part about this watch that makes it unique is the inclusion of those white edges on both the ends. These white edges highlight the illumination of the LEDs. Well that for sure makes the watch look neat and more exquisite, and probably that’s the only good about it. I would have loved the watch if the shape wasn’t that bland. They could have made the straps narrower in width than the dial to give it a more elegant look. Right now, it looks like more of a handcuff than a bracelet. The silver and black combination however makes it look a bit good. Still I think there is a lot of room for improvement. It would have been awful to see this watch in one color especially silver. Check out some more LED watches here: Madokadoke Bracelet Watch and Dot LED Bracelet Watch.

AeroPress Coffee Maker

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:30:54 +0000

If you are a coffee lover, you would know how tough it is to make a good cup of coffee that not only smells good, but also tastes good. You have two options: either go for a big coffee machine or use this AeroPress Coffee Maker to make that perfect cup of coffee yourself. Which one would you choose? I would choose the AeroPress Coffee Maker because it’s easy to use, easy to wash, and portable enough to drag it along to work as well (though I wouldn’t do that). This AeroPress Coffee Maker is a revolutionary coffee maker actually. It makes the whole coffee making process a lot easier than you can think. Think about it, there isn’t any other machine out there, which can make a cup of coffee in less than 30 seconds. This cannot only make coffee within 30 seconds, but can make GOOD, DELICIOUS, AND SMOOTH coffee in that timeframe. How to use it? Let us start with the coffee making process about which we have been talking all this time. First off, you put your coffee in that transparent chamber. Put in some hot water and still it for ten seconds. The next step is to depress the plunger. That’s it, nothing else to do and your coffee is ready. I don’t get it… How does it work? Allow me to explain. The air pressure basically forces the blended coffee to go through a micro filter in the cup. That is where the coffee gets filtered and becomes smoother, creamier, and of course, tastier. The good part is that the overall time it takes to brew the coffee is only 30 seconds. Along with the package, you get a number of micro filters, which are enough for a year. You don’t get any free coffee so don’t expect that please. The best part is that it is available for only £29.99 which is more or less the amount you pay for a cup of good coffee in a good cafe. Now, wouldn’t you want to bring that thing that makes their coffee so good in your house, too? Check out some more such products here: Gaggia Academy Coffee Maker and The Healthiest Deep Fryer.

Buckled LED Watch Design

admin — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 14:00:21 +0000

Now, this is what we rate as a unique and elegant wristwatch design. Partially inspired by the ‘Tokyoflash Waku’ range and partially by the LEDs of Apple, this watch is one chic piece. Designed by Devindh, the watch is for girls as you can see in the pictures. The designer says that he has been pretty much impressed, by the way Apple has integrated LEDs with small holes in their products. Well, we don’t know whether this one will be as good as an Apple product or not, yet the design surely looks promising! The overall concept of the watch was to create something that is fashionable, and at the same time, would allow the girls to wear it as a jewelry. For sure, the final version is somewhat like that. As you can see in the pictures, it hardly looks like a watch and looks more like a bracelet. In the center, you can see the hour indicators with those Apple-like micro LEDs. The good part is that they are not confusing at all. Anyone can look at it for the first time and read the time. It has been kept similar to a standard watch just that the digital have been replaced by LEDs. Minutes are present on the outer rim with digits and an LED light indicator. Again, this part is easy to understand as well. The red indicator goes up, and you get to know the minutes. The digits are etched on the outer rim, so you won’t need to worry about them fading or washing off. It’s a classy yet a trendy piece perfect for anyone who looks forward to adding some style sense in their attire. The good part is that it can be worn with casual dresses as well as with formal dresses. The leather straps give the watch more of an appeal. Depending on the color you choose, the chips on the straps, and the buckle are of the same color with the dial. For instance, in the gold dial version the chips on the straps and the buckle are of gold color, whereas in the black version both are black. Check out some more chic watch designs here: The Two Sided Triangle LED watch and the Night Vision Keychain Concept.

The Pouring Light Lampshade Concept

admin — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 12:00:52 +0000

The background is stark white in color and as clean as a blank slate. Against the pure white background sits a tilted bucket, which has paint pouring out of its wide open mouth. The bucket is tilted at a comfortable angle with the paint pouring out of it in an artistic, flowing manner. The bucket and paint cascading from it match the color tone of the background – snow white; if it had been any other color, the installation would probably not have the dramatic effect it currently has. The snow white colored bucket and paint are not a piece of installation or conceptual art as some of you may have imagined. The paint and bucket ensemble is a modern day lampshade concept born out of the mind of designer Yeongwoo Kim. This artistic lampshade concept is aptly titled ‘Pouring Light’. Traditional lampshade designs have usually focused on a covering shade, light bulbs, and a lamp stand. In a traditional lampshade, the bulb is screwed on to a socket placed inside a reflector bowl. The reflector bowl is attached to a lamp stand, which gives the shade stability and support. The user can turn on and off the lampshade with a power switch. In Pouring Light, Yeongwoo Kim has used the basic framework of a traditional lampshade - covering shade, bulb, and stand-in a manner that is both, innovative and aesthetically creative. Your eyes will light up in delight as it rolls over the smooth, sleek body of the inventive lampshade concept. Pouring Light consists of a white colored paint bucket that is tilted at an angle. The paint bucket fulfills the function of a covering shade as well. The stiff, molten white paint flowing from the bucket is the perfect combination of form and function. It functions as the ‘bulb’ of the lampshade as well as the ‘lamp stand’. What makes Yeongwoo Kim’s creative lampshade concept an eagerly awaited reality is the fact that Pouring Light would use energy saving LEDs rather than power hungry light bulbs. The lampshade concept seems a perfect blend of visually appealing looks and user friendly function. The next generation lampshade concept works on the principle of phosphorescence to create a lingering and mesmerizing effect. Pouring Light is simply not content with the function of lighting up a room. The concept’s true motive is to produce a flow light that will evoke an enduring emotion from the user.

The sculpture does not only involve Alice, but a number of other intricate and delicate looking miniature sculptures as well. Alice, is the main attraction, with her hands outstretched and is beautifully sculpted and painted wearing a powder-blue dress with folds, buttons, creases and shoes to match. The attention to detail and creativity are involved while incorporating elements of the story. Alice is surrounded by the Mad Hatter who’s spilling while attempting to sip his tea and even the jostled tea has been sculpted and painted along with the other characters. The Red Queen’s army of cards is also sculpted and their facial expressions along with Alice’s are a work of absolute and pure genius. The inspiration for this sculpture has been drawn from a picture by Arthur Rackham. Mickey Mouse as Mad Hater is one fusion you should surely check out. The precision and use of color transforms this marvelous piece from an ordinary sculpture to a 3D masterpiece!

On the whole, it looks rather fun and with a snappy knife, chopping, slicing, and cutting would be a pleasurable experience, instead of just contributing to a mundane morning routine. Wedge out slivers of bread, cut a smaller portion of the bacon, mince those potatoes, arrange a little pickle in the corner, and the multifunctional MyBrett serves just the function you are looking for. Use it as a makeshift snack-platter, serve cheese and crackers to visiting friends, and hor d’horves at a small, tight-knit party- MyBrett juggles it all. The best part of buying a wooden chopping board is that, wood seems to absorb the much-expected cuts. And thanks to the glossy finish of the MyBrett, its 22 x 15cm surface rarely exhibits these tiny scars too obviously. Stains hardly remain on the board as they tend to slither off or can be easily wiped away. Expert study findings have also made a point that wood is a much more hygienic option than plastic, as against the contrary misconception. Stone, ceramic and stainless steels tend to damage the edge of your knife and therefore, it is not hard to see why MyBrett with its maple woodwork is such a great choice. Priced at about $20 in the USA and 15 euros in UK, it is a great buy. If you were impressed by this, make sure you check out Chopping Board Gadget and Piece It Together Cutting Board.

The Automatic Bucket Ice Cream Churn

admin — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:30:59 +0000

We all miss those old days when our older folks used to make ice creams in wooden buckets, don’t we? Maybe the newer generation hasn’t seen any of that but trust me, it was fun. Even today I miss those old tools and the fun we used to have. This is one major reason that has made me all excited as soon as I saw this Automatic Bucket Ice Cream Churn. The good part is that now it has been upgraded, and the hassle our old folks used to take up has been reduced. You won’t need to use those cranks and keep winding them for the ice cream to shape up. Instead, the built in 90 rpm motor rotates the six-fin paddle that lets air pass into the ingredients. The ingredients are placed in a 4 quart aluminum canister. The result? You get smooth and yummy ice cream in just 30 to 40 minutes. And, believe me, the ice cream that you will get will be much better than the ice cream you can buy out there. But of course that can only happen if you put in the right ingredients. Rest of it, the bucket will handle! How does it do it? The mechanism is pretty simple to understand. The paddle in the bucket is capable of crushing down the ingredients whether they are cookies, chocolate chips, or fruit pieces. It makes a good thick mixture of them. The fir bucket has ice and rock salt which keeps the canister at the optimal 10 degree F which is ideal for churning ice cream. Now, what happens is that as soon as the paddle starts whipping, your mixture slowly starts freezing, making it an ICE CREAM! What’s lovelier about this bucket is that it can easily be stored and can easily be cleaned. All you need to do is to simply remove the parts, wash them, and keep them to dry. Also, the canister and the paddle can be stored in a freezer. This Automatic Bucket Ice Cream Churn is available for $49.95 which I think is a pretty reasonable amount for the work it can do.

Boiling Water Alarm is Innovative and Useful

admin — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 16:07:15 +0000

How long do you wait for your pot of water to boil? It seems like ages before you can see those tiny bubbles forming at the bottom of the pot. Now try walking away to another room. Oh my god, the water seems to have reached its boiling point in just about a fraction of a second. Sounds pretty annoying but it happens to all of us. Well, the time has come to get out of this condition and try something really new and exciting. The Boil Buoy has entered the scene and is ready to make boiling water a lot more comfortable and fun. The Boil Buoy is a small top shaped device that carries the punch line ‘Floats in the pot, Rings when it’s hot.’ Very precise and exactly to the point. Its basic purpose is to send out an alarm when the water starts boiling. All you have to do is place it in a pot of water and allow the water to boil. No need to stand and observe the pot. The moment the water heats up and is about to reach boiling point, the Buoy starts ringing. Boiling water could not be simpler. The Boil Buoy is a carefully designed product. The stainless steel at the bottom gives it weight to help it stay in position. The use of foam helps it stay afloat. The long middle portion encloses the metal chime that rings when the water is boiling. Absolutely safe food grade plastic has been used to give the device a cabinet. The topmost section contains a small ‘cool handle’ made of Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). This knob stays perfectly cool to help you easily remove it from the hot pot. The device is pretty simple looking but a lot of effort has gone into its making. Ever since the inception of the idea, numerous tests and trials went into the formulation and designing of the product. The final result has been a smart looking product which stays afloat all the time. It is safe and easy to remove from a pot of boiling hot water. It does not get damaged by high temperatures and is completely food safe. Available at a pre-sale price of $9.99, this product has vibrant colors, stunning looks, and is convenient to use. What more could you ask for from this wonderful device? Perhaps, with the addition of products such as The William Stovetop and Rejuven8, you could be more systematic while working in the kitchen.

Get the Neon Edge with the Neon-ized LED Watch

admin — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 06:54:45 +0000

This is yet another watch design and a very new way to tell the time. The Neon-ized LED watch is the latest to enter the wide world of time telling. Designed by Logan, the first glance at the Tokyoflash watch will reveal absolutely nothing to you. All that you get to see are a couple of cyan and magenta lines interspersed with a few squares. The design makes for a wonderful bracelet. But hold on, the design is not constant and will keep changing. On careful examination, you will get to see that these lines and squares are, in fact, trying to tell you the time. This is how it works – the cyan lines represent single minutes. There will be a maximum of nine cyan lines in all. The yellow squares stand for tens of minutes, which are five in total. The magenta lines represent the hours. So, at a given time when there are four magenta lines, five squares and six cyan lines, the time would be four hours and fifty six minutes. It is true that reading this watch is not a simple game. It does take some time to get used to it. It does appear complicated for a while. In fact, it is almost like giving counting lessons to a kid. But it is always good to keep the child alive in all of us. Life becomes a lot more fun, and small things like this Neon-ized LED watch bring a smile on everyone’s faces. The colors used for this watch carry with them a futuristic appeal. The body is black in color with the broad black face displaying a range of neon colors. It gives the effect of a gadget being used in a science fiction movie. Wouldn’t it look perfect on the wrist of any of the science fiction heroes? In fact, it will also gel with the black outfit of batman. Watch designs have always fascinated designers of all times. Time and again, we come across a new watch design like the Vapor 300 and Ex-Time. These two also make use of an LED screen on which the time is displayed. The difference between them is the fact that while they display numbers like traditional watches, the Neon-ized used lines and squares to tell the time. The task over here is a little complex, but once you get accustomed to it everything is a smooth ride. Give your wrist the Neon-ized effect and add that designer edge to your attire.

The Orbe LED watch does not require any hard production methodology or complex clockworks. The watch is based on the same technology that Tokyoflash uses. Tokyoflash promotes a very simple philosophy which is to create and design cutting edge products. Also, Tokyoflash turns telling time into an art, which is well appreciated by all with an artistic bend of mind, and they are well known for their unique and ingenious product designs. The Orbe watch is loved for its exclusive design, which is kept simple, yet avant-garde. It is like a breath of fresh air in the world of watches. The light emanating from the cuts in the side of the Orbe watch reminds one of hot molten lava leaking out of a volcano. Little wonder that this watch is loved not only by the geeks but also by the fashion conscious folks out there. The Orbe LED watch looks subtle and smart on your wrists. When you need to tell the time, just touch the button to access the time display. Once you get the hang of it, it is a very smart choice indeed, one which can be treasured forever.

What’s particularly good about the watch is the way it looks and the way it has incorporated futuristic features in an ancient looking design. The golden dial with two black stripes that display time along with the crocodile skin type leather straps is a good combination that definitely makes the watch look exquisite. The main case is designed like a buckle with 2 straps from the cuff. Seconds are denoted by raised dots and hours are represented by 12 raised bars. The arrows on the black stripes point to the seconds that has 5 divisions. Each of the rows has 5 dots on the left and the arrow points to one row at a time to display seconds. This arrow has five bars and they illuminate one by one until 15 minutes have passed. Similarly, the right side arrow denotes hours by simply illuminating against the bar. Look at the picture below to get an idea. The way this watch works is a bit complicated compared to most of the LED watches we have seen in the recent past. However, once you learn it, things will get easier. To be honest, I would compromise on the difficulty factor against the style factor. The watch looks extraordinary. In these days, there is a trend of wearing leather watches that look old school. The watch combines modern features with an old school looking leather watch to give you one hell of a fashion accessory! The good part is that this watch doesn’t leave you desiring for more. It is one fashion accessory that you would love to wear. Check out some more watch designs here: The Two Sided Triangle LED Watch and The Night Vision Key Chain Watch.

Drip-Free Rain Promised by Mohock Smart Umbrella

admin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:05:32 +0000

Every one of us loves to own a beautiful umbrella that we can carry along in the rains. But this beautiful umbrella often becomes an embarrassment when we have to carry a dripping one into someone’s house or a store. Plastic bags can help to a great extent but what happens when we forget to carry one? Besides, it is such a waste of plastic. Designer Ju Hyun Lee has understood the need to get rid of this dripping problem and has come up with a smart and intelligent rain gear – the Mohock Smart Umbrella. Now forget the plastic bag and yet have a drip free umbrella in the heaviest of showers. A little bit of modification in the same old design of the umbrella has helped solve this problem. The handle of the Mohock Smart Umbrella is fairly larger when compared to other designs. This is because it is hollowed to some extent which gives it a cup like shape. When a wet folded umbrella is placed right side up all the water gradually drips into the cup. What you see around it is dry surface with all the water in one place. This water may evaporate overtime (if left for a long period) or can be disposed off (if you are in a hurry to use it again). No, you do not need to hold it in a position all the time. It is well equipped to do this on its own. The top portion has an attachment that opens up to take the shape of a ring or support like shape. Open it up and suspend the umbrella in any convenient place you find. It could be the edge of a wall, table or even a hook. While the umbrella stays safe in one place the water also falls into its cup. However, make sure to suspend it in a place that is out of people’s way as far as possible. Else, you might find someone brushing against the umbrella and all the water spilling on the floor. The drip might have been avoided but the spill will take place. The range of Mohock Smart Umbrellas is available in a wide variety of colors making sure to suit everyone’s tastes. The size is similar to that of any standard three-fold umbrella giving it a decent size. When completely collapsed it can easily fit into a bag and taken along anywhere. Next time before you go out in the rains make sure to carry a Mohock Smart Umbrella and avoid the dripping embarrassment. Lumadot LED Umbrella and Salt and Pepper Shaker Umbrellas are other designs that you might want to purchase. Via: Yanko Design

admin — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:50:19 +0000

Technology is getting better day by day and we are getting to see gadgets and robots that are more human like. Of course, some of us really appreciate that, while others consider it a twist of fate. Well, if for once we don’t think about what T-2 (the Arnold Schwarzenegger) flick taught us about robots invading our world, we can think of better uses, can't we? Today, the topic of discussion is this hair washing robot. First of all, let me assure you that it is not any ordinary robot you see in the salons out there. If you have ever used any one of those hair washing robots, you’d know how weird it feels. But, here we are talking about a robot that will wash your hair exactly the same way as your mama did when you were a kid. Yup, that is right! This hair washing robot is the future of salons! Ten years from now when you’ll enter a solution for a hair-do, you won’t need to fear that hair washing robot. They won’t hurt you or pull your hair anymore because the future robots will massage your scalp and rinse the way you want it to. Softly, gently, and with care, it will wash your hair.

Potato Chip & Popcorn Grabber

admin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:05:34 +0000

Are you a lazy person who doesn’t want to sit up and grab popcorns while watching your favorite horror flick? Yes? Awesome, then this Potato chip and Popcorn grabber is for you! Trust me, when you have this, things will get way better. You'd no longer have to mess up your hands or fight with your spouse over the popcorn bowl. All you need to do is use these hands to grab the potato chips while she can have the bowl. How does it work? There is nothing extraordinary about these hands actually. They are more like clips with which all you need to do is press the button to grasp the chip. They are actually fun to use. Although, I don’t think they are anything useful, for the lazy type it could be the best thing ever. Both hands come with white fists that look more like Super Mario’s gloves, green and orange grips and buttons, and yellow arms. Basically, one hand is for popcorn while the other one is for grabbing chips. You have to buy the set so you don’t have to choose. Although, I think both of them more or less perform the same functions, still why not be a bit more sophisticated and use separate tools for both junk foods. Each of the hands has the following dimensions - 40 x 180 x 40mm and the package is for $15. That isn’t a hefty price and I guess for such a gadget, you can spend that much. I personally think this can be a good gift to your kid on his next birthday. He would love the concept of the grabbing popcorns and potato chips with artificial hands. Moreover, the way the hands are designed will make him go head over heels. It is also a great way of teaching your kids to eat with utensils instead of using their hands every time, which can be hazardous for their health. Whether you want to buy it for yourself or for your kids, this is a must have set of gadgets! Check out some kitchen accessories here: The Granja Mixer and The Automatic Bucket Ice Cream Churn

R2D2, the Bathing Suit Edition

admin — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:00:23 +0000

We all want to follow the latest fashion but do we actually do it? Think for a while, they say the 21st century is the century of technology and gadgets. Numerous cellphones, laptops, tablet PCs, etc. are released on a daily basis and we do buy them. But, they just remain as ‘gadgets’ that we use and then dispose off. They don’t get any further than that, do they? I personally think they should. We should depict what we do through our personalities and through what we wear. With that said, I think this R2D2 bathing suit is a chance to show the world that we are a technological population! The Mayans wore their fashion, a decade back it was the pop culture scene; before that was the grunge scene, but what is in today? Today, we have the technological scene! Everything we do is directly and indirectly linked to technology. Whether we are communicating or we are grabbing the ball of fun, the ‘technological devices are always there’. So, don’t you think they need a little bit of respect and importance from our side? They sure do and that is why this R2D2 bathing suit is here! Be what you do by wearing this bathing suit and show the world that you are proud to be born in the 21st century. This R2D2 bathing suit is a design from the Australian designer James Lillis. And, he has done a great job…no doubt about that. Particularly what I like about the design is that even though the theme is R2D2, the overall swimsuit looks gorgeous. It’s not one of those funny looking bathing suits that would make you look like an alien on the beach. This one looks gorgeous and can make you look gorgeous as well. On the other hand, it also depicts the technological aspect of our age. While you wear this, you will feel proud in a different way. You will feel proud to represent your ‘today’ while looking at your best. Isn’t that all what we want? To look good yet to be unique? Yup, we all do and I am sure this is the only bathing suit out there that can make you stand out from the crowd. Check out some more here: The AQHayon Bathtub Design and The Illuminated Bathtub.

The 555 LED Kitchen Timer: Cool Cooking Timer

admin — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:00:59 +0000

A square, brown circuit board sits on a grey kitchen table. Four stainless steel screws are attached to the four corners of the circuit board. The center of the board has 12 LED filaments, colored white, arranged in circular fashion. Within the circle made up of the LED filaments sits a red colored hourglass again made up of LED filaments and a square shaped digital display. Next to the brown colored circuit board, on the stove, yellow strands of pasta boil in an open utensil. The circuit board is switched on and it begins to keep a track of the minutes. When the digital display shows five minutes, the gas is switched off and the pasta is ready to be seasoned. The square, brown circuit board is a kitchen timer that allows the user to keep a track of the cooking time. Called the 555 Timer, the minimalistic timer provides an easy visual reference of the cooking time elapsed. It may very well be an important cooking-timer innovation for a whole new generation of budding chefs. College students and people in their late 20s can be distracted a lot with the TV, internet, games, and their mobile phones. They may keep a particular item on the stove to cook or boil and forget about it completely. This could lead to fateful kitchen accidents. The 555 Timer, though is bare essential in its framework, has a quirky visual interface that could keep iPod and iPhone generation rooted to the kitchen as their food cooks. When the timer is switched on, the 12 circular LEDs light up, two at a time in red, and count the seconds down. Each circular LED represents five seconds. As the seconds tick away the red hourglass, LED kicks into action, with lights going off in the top portion accompanied by lights turning on in the bottom portion, representing grains of sand falling down. As the circular LEDs complete one cycle, the first circular LED turns green. When all the 12 LEDs are lit up in green, it represents one minute. The one minute is displayed on the square digital display. The USP of the 555 is certainly its attention grabbing way of telling time. The user is bound to look as the Timer ticks away, counting the time. This is far cooler than the boring egg timers that are around. You can check out the 555 LED Kitchen Timer in action on Youtube.com. Looking for some more interesting timers to assist you in cooking?

18 Weird Stiletto Designs

admin — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:54:41 +0000

“Not diamonds, but shoes are a girl’s best friend.” This quote by author William Rossi has been used by fashionistas all around the world to celebrate the importance of shoes in every girl’s life. Of all the women's shoes, stilettos remain the most popular and the sought after. A pair of stilettos will not only boost a girl’s height but also her confidence and sexiness. But these do not seem to be enough for some people. Some designers have tried to embed other features, ranging from a stereo system to flippers inside a stiletto. Some even tried to challenge the orthodox design, like making high heels without heels. Creative? Yes they are. But useful or not, the answer can only be judged through the eye of the beholder after seeing the list of the 18 weirdest stiletto designs below.

Stereo Stiletto Speakers

An invention to literally find music in every step you take, Jacob Mathew managed to stuff a novel 2.1 stereo system comprising of two 3-way stereo speakers inside a pair of stilettos.

Heelless Stilettos

Question: How do you call a pair of high heels without heels? No, it is not a blond question. The answer is actually “Stiletto Moody BARE Judy”.

Computer Nerd Stilettos

In a vain attempt to draw computer nerds a little bit closer to women, Steven Rodrig made a pair of stilettos out of PCB (printed computer board) materials. Thank God he does not have any plans to commercialize the product. Source 1

Police Woman High Heels

If you ever think that policewomen are too tough to be sexy, think again. With his talent, and probably his love for women as well, Modo illustrator Tim Cooper has successfully combined toughness and sexiness into a killer pair of stilettos which serves as both a policewoman’s high heels and a police car’s replica. Arrest me!

Fantasy Stilettos

Robert Tabor’s Sole Sensations collection does not need any comment on how creative or bizarre it is. His shoe sculptures resemble both daily and imaginative objects, ranging from a sandwich to a dragon. This pair of dragon-inspired stilettos above is called “Drag-On & On” and worth $1,500. Source 1

The World’s Tallest Stilettos

At 16” high, this pair of red stilettos is officially the world’s tallest, and visually the world’s ugliest stilettos. The creation of these stilettos makes stilts redundant and neck insurance more necessary than ever. Source 1

Skeletal Stilettos

The long-talked-about effect of high heels on one’s spine was visualized with DSquared Skeletal Stilettos Fall Winter 2010 Shoes Collection. DSquared earlier this year introduced a series of stilettos that feature heels that look like they are made from spinal columns. Source 1

Statue-Heeled Stilettos

If part of the body under the heels are not cool, how about the whole body? This pair of weird shoes was in fact designed by John Galliano for Dior fashion house and worn by French actress Marion Cotillard. Who wants to bend that low to contemplate two little naked statues? Source 1

Metal Stilettos

The Electronic Bracelet Watch Design is Innovative and Beautiful

admin — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 18:23:33 +0000

What’s the simplest piece of adornment one can don? Something that is classy and elegant, something that has functionality in addition to being smart and something that need not be as pricey as buying a bar of gold in the bullion market; a wristwatch.Wristwatches have an aura of style unique to them. They range from being mere straps of leather – simple yet refined to the more swank metal bands that be altered to give the wearer a casual or a professional look. Times keep on changing, eras have come and gone and will keep on coming; but owning and flashing off a wristwatch is a trend that will never feel the slack. On the contrary, given the high PPP – purchasing power parity – of the people, it’s become almost a given that costlier the watch, the classier is the look and feel of the user. And keeping in mind the changing trend and the potential demand of the contemporary user, TokyoFlash Japan has created a blog specifically to cater the needs and imagination of the user. The blog has designs and prototypes that look fashionable and convey the ultimate purpose of a wristwatch – to indicate time. One such example of an out-of-the-box vision of a wristwatch comes from Jozze. The Spaniard has created a prototype of a wristwatch using LEDs – Light Emitting Diodes instead of the routine 12 digits, an hour hand and a second hand. Incorporating an aluminium case and a leather watch strap, the design has been contrived to give the wearer a feature of coolness and suaveness. The prospective timepiece also aims at giving the user a USP of sorts thus imparting him with a singularity and individuality in a fast altering coeval world. The watch consists of 12 LEDs of a five-minute group each, acting as the minute hand. These LEDS are located on the side of the watch strap – six on each side. Each of these LEDs light up and increase their brightness as the end of the five-minute period approaches and remain lighted till the end of the hour. Thereafter, the loop begins again to denote the start and the progress of the next hour. The hour hand – or in this case – another set of 12 LED lights are located on the face of the watch strap. These lights are also placed six on each side and light randomly, denoting the passage of an hour. Simply put, according to the planned designing, if the time is half-past-12, then the LED lights on the face of the strap will not light up. But the lights located on the side of the strap, will light up with six lights denoting the 30 minute time duration. Apart from the variation in the prescribed dial format, the other aspects of this watch are similar to the present-day watches; adjustable straps and so on and so forth. It has to be noted, though that at first glance, this watch – known as Electronic Bracelet Watch Design – definitely does not appear like a watch. It looks like a gadget straight out of a James Bond movie, with lights blinking and no visible dial on the face of the strap. A definite prospective trend setter by the looks of it, the watch does need to get introduced and propagated in the market. Currently, only the design is being circulated by TokyoFlash though it can be an optimistic thought that since the design has been incorporated by the watch blog, one day the prototype will find its way into the mainstream market. Ironically, it happens to be time which has to play a final and determining role regarding the introduction of this product in the ultimate consumer market. Oberon LED Watch and Nooka Metallic Gold Zub Zoo Watch are other unique fashion accessories that can make you want keep track of time every fraction of a second.

admin — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 13:53:01 +0000

Portability comes in various sizes and shapes. Portable phones known as cellphones, portable music players known as MP3s and iPods, portable PCs known as laptops are some of the popular gadgets that are featured in the list containing the new ‘in’ word – portability. And now there is a new addition to the said list – portable speakers; speakers that can be attached not just to iPods, MP3 players, and iPhones but also to CD players, DVD players and laptops. Designed by chicBuds, the portable speaker – shaped in the form of a key chain to aid easy transportability is named ‘Chicboom’ and comes in the form of a geometric square and is patterned in a stylish leopard print. And while appearing small – fitting into the palm of the user – it is powerful enough to give a magnified sound as desired by the user. The two watt amplified speaker which gives utility up to four hours, is fashionably shaped in the form of a heart and outlined with twinkling crystals. This ensures not just the quality of the appliance but also appeals to the aesthetic sense of the user. As the name of the product suggests, being chic is what the company aims at and modishness along with utility is what it delivers. The speaker comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery which just needs to be plugged into the computer whenever recharging is required; there is an indicator to pinpoint the same. The indicator also pinpoints whether the device is switched on or off – i.e. it also acts as a power indicator. The gizmo also guarantees absolute clarity – considering its smallness, distortion free, faultless sound quality, and volume control. The latter details become very important in a device like the speaker owing to the very nature of its utility expectation and since in this case, the contraption is pocket-sized, it becomes imperative that quality is not compromised anywhere; hence the specific attention to specify and particularize the aspects of sound lucidity in the gadget. Minuscule yet utility packed, Chicboom comes in two colors – blue and pink. The colors are subtle which means that the fancy leopard printing does not clash garishly but complements the designing of the device. Priced at US $24.99, Chicboom comes out as an appliance to appeal to a major section of people. Its feasibility and convenient mobility make it a potential fast gainer in the consumer market while its simple yet attractive design makes it promptly eye-catching; exactly what potential users need in this fiercely competitive world.

Corkscrew and Glowing Bulbs – Unbeatable Combination

admin — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 13:23:20 +0000

Light bulbs have come in various designs and shapes but one thing remains common to all. They need a particular holder to house the bulb. Either fix it to a bulb holder on the wall or in a lamp; but like any other product, the scene is changing here as well. The very new design of screwing a bulb to the wall has arrived. Japanese designer Shiro Inoue has given shape to a light bulb that combines the actions of screwing and glowing. Sounds quite an awkward combination, but when designers get down to work, anything can be possible. Take a look at this light bulb. It is conical in shape, and is designed like a conch shell with a spiral body. The chord starts from the broad end, and runs all around the body of the shell well settled in the ‘shell’ indents. It ends in a two-pin plug, which also has a power switch attached to it. The narrow side of the bulb tapers into a screw thread. To mount the bulb, you do not require any other equipment like screws and bulb holders. All that you need to do is screw the entire thing into the wall and you have a bulb all set for use. The shell shaped glowing light bulb has been made using thermoplastic. This LED emitting light bulb has three different sizes namely large, medium, and small. The large one is large enough with 47 X 16.5 cm, the medium one is 35 X15.5 cm, while the small one is 19 X 10.2 cm. Thus, gives a wide variety for the user to choose from. As the size of the lamp varies, so does the chord size with the large one having the maximum reach while the smallest one the least. You could comfortably use the large one to light up a room. The smallest can be placed as a comfortable reading light. While the shell shaped light bulb has the advantage of being easy to mount, it also carries with it the advantage of having an LED light. This makes it a very economical and energy conserving product as well. Besides, it is also a fact that LED bulbs last longer than the traditional incandescent ones. Here is a designer product which helps save up on your electricity bills, gets rid of frequent bulb changing hassles, and looks cool, too. If you are impressed with this design, I am sure you will also find these Infectious Light, Color Changing Light Bulb, and Solight to be superb! Via: Yanko Design

Solar-Powered Fridge Invented by British Student

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:26:43 +0000

Okay, so we have solar-powered bulbs, solar-powered cars, and so on but we have never seen a solar-powered fridge, right? We feel pretty proud to actually present this story to you. A British student, Emily Cummins who is just 21, came up with this idea of inventing a solar-powered fridge. That’s not it actually…she did transform the idea into reality and created something which literally shook us from the bottoms. Yup, she created the solar-powered refrigerator! First off, let me tell you, being solar-powered is not the only amazing thing about this fridge. Another fascinating part of it is that it can be built from household materials and this is what the whole plan was. Emily wanted to create something with which she could help the third world countries. Emily basically came up with this idea while working in her grandfather’s potting shed on a school project. And, believe it or not, the fridge is now actually being used and it is improving the lives of thousands of poverty-stricken people in Africa. Moreover, Emily now wants to create a more portable model that would make it easier to transport medical and food supplies around. Emily recalls that the urge of creating things was always in her. When she was four, her mother gifted her a hammer and that is when her journey began. Emily also won awards for a toothpaste squeezer which she created for arthritis patients. This squeezer was also targeted towards the third-world countries. Anyways, this fridge works through evaporation. It can be used to keep perishable supplies such as milk, meat, and other similar ones cool for days. The best part is that this fridge does not require any power regardless of the temperature and environment. The temperature always stays at 6c. The fridge has two cylinders in it – one inside the other. The cylinder inside has been made from metal and the outer one can actually be made by anything whether it is wood, plastic, or anything else. There isn’t anything else we could say about the spirit of Miss Emily. Hats off and I wish there were more people like you on this planet!

Crosley Revolution Portable Turntable

We all know that those old juke boxes had something so enticing about them that people even today love them. It is a bit hard to believe that people collect those old juke boxes. Not only that, even companies makes them because they know that somewhere, someone wants it. But, is it really sensible to collect the old ones or may I say that is old is always gold? To be honest, I don’t think that collecting old school juke boxes would do any good. Yes, they are good as memorabilia, but not good for listening to music. For that very reason, Crosley introduces this high, yet old tech music player. Surprised? Well, don’t be because this is what you have been looking for.

One Line Watch Concept is Stylish, Artistic, and Elegant!

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 17:43:57 +0000

Modern watch design concepts are truly innovative and amazing. Thanks to the designers, ubiquitous analog watches too have now become either fashionable or geekier multifunctional accessories. Here is One Line Watch Concept Design by Sam who hails from Germany; he has turned watch into a stylish bracelet with single curved line on the dial and in a single word this design concept is truly ELEGANT! One Line Watch is essentially a simple analog watch which looks like a stylish bracelet. Beauty and true elegance lie in the single curved line that acts as two watch hands of the watch. The line seems like an artistic stroke and part of bracelet design, unless told it doesn’t look like a watch at all. The thicker end is the hour hand and thinner is minute’s hand. The display is not marked and is indistinguishable from the strap except that it lights up in the dark (translucent). It will be interesting to have a watch with only a curved line that changes shape every minute. Of course busy souls won’t be able to track time in minutes and seconds but I will definitely like to have a watch with hands that take a shape of smiling curve at times and will make Time smile at me. I hope this artistic and elegant bracelet watch will be available soon. If you don’t like analog dials then check out Tokyoflash Product Design Studio’s blog for other interesting bracelet watch designs. We have featured some of the best ones like LED Bracelet Watch Design and Dot LED Bracelet Watch.

If you like wearing scarves then this Hand Painted Silk Bacon Scarf is for you. Not only can it add a style statement to your overall personality, it can also make you look quite exquisite. Think about it – when was the last time you wore a unique scarf that made you stand out of the crowd? I don’t think in the recent past fashion designers have given importance to scarves. That is one major reason why the fashion of scarves has faded. We just wear them now as an accessory to protect our necks. We don’t wear them as fashion accessories, do we? Nevertheless, with this Hand Painted Silk Bacon Scarf, your point of view will change. Once you have this one, its beauty would entice you to adorn yourself with it. It’s beautiful and it can make you look gorgeous. What else would you want? To be honest, I love this one. The scarves are bought from a designer from Richmond who actually hand paints them. This is what makes these scarves different. Each piece is a unique piece and is a bit different from the other. Moreover, the effects that are created because of hand painting are just mind blowing. It is made of 100% Habotai silk and each strip of bacon is about 8 inches x 54 inches. It is actually white silk on which the designer uses fabric dyes to paint it with brushes. Due to the fact that each scarf is painted with brushes, the overall effects of strokes are just awesome. You actually feel like you are wearing something that has just come from the workplace of an artist. The hand-painted silk bacon scarf is available for $56.99. If you buy it, make sure you don’t wash it with warm water. It needs to be hand washed with cold water so that the colors don’t fade off. Also, you need to dry it flat or hang to dry it if you want the silky fabric to maintain its shine. Lastly, do not ingest it! Believe me, this scarf has regenerated the whole scarf fashion and once you wear it, all eyes will turn towards you!

Changing Trends: Constructing Sentences with a Lipstick

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 13:38:59 +0000

Has anyone heard of using a lipstick other than on the lips? A latest invention called a lipstick sentence-generator is one instance where a lipstick has not been used as an applicator on the lips but for something differently productive. Janet Zweig’s newest invention alters the traditional function of a lipstick and comes out as a unique product. The Brooklyn based designer has used 1200 resin lipsticks to create a sentence generator that not only looks attractive but is also efficient. The sentence-generator is computer driven and contains 1200 stepper motors, one each for the 1200 lipsticks used for the innovation of the device. There are 60 circuit boards to enable the functioning of the stepper motors, and thus the lipsticks generate the required sentences. With the help of a lexicon specifically created by Janet Zweig and a certain set of rules, the software used in the gadget writes new text sentences and displays them when a motion detector is triggered. The invention is a highly complex yet highly simple. The artist who is currently a tutor at the Rhode Island School of Design at Brown University who has won several awards in the past for her brilliant creations, has once again managed to create a one-of-its-kind engineering initiation. At present, the device appears to be just a prototype but given time, it could prove to be an amazing gadget to come under mundane use. Many times it so happens that when it comes to sentence-generators which use lights to display texts and words, when the lights run-out, it becomes difficult to understand the meaning of the word or the text. The lipstick sentence-generator will enable to resolve this problem because of the very absence of lights. However, if the absence of lights could be a problem during evening hours, then the situation can be easily remedied too. For some, a lipstick might just be an accessory, but for creative artists – as proved by Janet Zweig – lipsticks do have other uses. And for some, who look upon a lipstick with scorn, this invention is enough to prove that a lipstick can be successfully used to work in other areas too – especially in the areas of science and technology. In today’s modern times where revolution is the key to solve every problem and create newer ideas, the lipstick sentence-generator adds a completely different feature to the area of science and technology. In these times when there are talks about electricity conservation and energy preservation, this is a fitting response to tackle the energy problems and crisis and offer the service that is required to be provided by it.

Nerf Raider: The New-Age Mock Artillery Gadget

admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 14:56:13 +0000

Guns never lose their charm. They were every kid’s fantasy in the past and as time progressed, are still going strong in the craze department. G.I. JOE toys were famous then and Schwarzenegger inspired Terminator mock- artillery are the fad now. This is perhaps why Firebox.Com is marketing the latest upgradation in the world of play-combat arsenal – the Nerf Raider. Nerf Raider might be a name that sounds funny – on the first hearing, no one might think to link it as being a combat toy but as the phrase goes, there’s nothing in a name. To call the gaming gadget a Nerf Raider might be misleading, but there is nothing misleading about the gaming prowess of this artillery unit. A rapid fire artillery unit with a drum clip that holds 35 darts, the Nerf Raider is a mock-combat weapon that any G.I. JOE and Terminator fan would love to own. The shape of the weapon might be a bit askew, but there is nothing askew about the way the gadget is supposed to function or the way it actually functions. Powered by a tactical rail for any further attachments and supplemented by an assisted stock for comfort, the Nerf Raider can be modulated in such a way that if a person using it wants to dispel a continuous barrage of darts, he can do so by sliding the slamming fire handle uninterruptedly while simultaneously holding the trigger of the raider. As regards to the tactical rail and prospective attachments that can be made, the tactical rail is compatible in most other Nerf strikers marketed by Firebox.com, thus making it easy for the user in case he wants to try out a different attachment combination. Priced at £29.99, equivalent to 34 Euros and $47; the Nerf Raider is one mock-combat weaponry that any combat fan would want to own. The Nerf Raider is compact, measuring around 70 cm lengthwise, 30 cm heightwise and 24 cm widthwise thus making it easy for the user to tote it around while indulging in a serious mock-battle – Hollywood style. The only couple of safeguards that need to be maintained while using the Nerf Raider are that the weaponry is not for kids below the age of six as the pellets bear a choking hazard to youngsters below the specified age and that the pellets should not be aimed – under any circumstances – at the eyes or faces. Apart from these two safeguards – mentioned primarily by Firebox, the Nerf Raider is a perfect solution to all the problems faced by mock-combatant professionals. Now, the time has come when pellets will fly and opponents will be thwarted and terminated just by the slide and flash of a trigger; John Rambo and Terminator need not just be in television anymore, they are out here – on the neighbourhood backyard.

LONGREACH Buoyancy Deployment System

admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:56:16 +0000

ave you ever thought of saving someone’s life who is drowning but it seems too dangerous to jump in the rough water? If you have, then you would be glad to know that you no longer need to dive once you have this LONGREACH Buoyancy Deployment System. It is a bazooka that shoots life-saving rings towards the victim who is drowning.

How does it work?

LONGREACH is a small sized system that is quite lightweight so anyone can pick it up and shoot. It is loaded with water-activated buoyancy devices (life-saving rings). Once you shoot these rings towards the victim they will immediately open up to become rings. The victim can grasp the ring and stay safe until the team comes for the rescue. The rescue package comes with hydrophobic foam which expands as soon as it touches water. By integrating this technology, the designer has made sure that the package can get fit into a small bazooka-like shooting system. Also, it has a light on it to get the attention of the victim and also to be easily tracked by the rescue team. LONGREACH is also integrated with Para-Flares for night time Illumination. In short, this is one gizmo that is easy to use and of course, can maximize the potential of rescue teams to get to the victim.

Developing the LONGREACH:

It wasn’t easy for the developers to make this thing. There were numerous approaches initially employed but failed. Their target was developing a life-saving system that can actually make it easier for the rescue teams to save people. So, the team came to the conclusion that a foam based inflation can be the best possible way of creating a device that is cost efficient, light to carry, and of course, effective. This is exactly where they thought of using water-activated inflation foams. And, they were quite successful because this idea helped them in eradicating a number of issues such as the cost and the weight which are usually found in such devices. For this very reason, the LONGREACH won the James Dyson Award. Check out some more water gadgets here: the Modern Drift Lighting, the Water Powered Clock or the Monotea Teapot Design.

Best Countertop Ice Maker – Countering Ice Shortage

admin — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:20:52 +0000

When throwing a party for friends and relatives, you would want everything to be perfect. Like any other concerned host you too would not like to leave any scope for embarrassment. There is, however, one area where things can get a little tricky – availability of ice cubes. You might end up underestimating the requirement of ice cubes which may lead to shortage and ultimately last minute hustles. You sure would want to avoid such situations and the best way to do this is to get a countertop ice maker. There are quite a few products available in this category but the one that stands out among all is the Best Countertop Ice Maker. The Best Countertop Ice Maker is the best because it has been rated as the Best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. The reasons for being rated the best are quite a few. First and foremost it is capable of yielding quantities far more than its counterparts. Its capacity stands at 8 1/2 lbs. of ice in just eight hours. That makes it 56 per cent more efficient than the others. Talking in more simple terms this icemaker can make one batch of 12 cubes in merely 8 minutes. This will ensure that the ice stock is always full and available. With a machine working at such a fast rate there are chances of it making a hell lot of a noise. Well, not so in this case. This was another parameter on which it was rated the best. The noise levels are well within control. When tested on a decibel meter it failed to register any reading while the others successfully registered a reading of almost 24.8 decibels of noise. Simplicity of use cannot be ignored. When busy in a party, making ice with the least efforts is nothing like it. The Best ice maker requires you to only fill it up with water, select the ice cube size (there are three different sizes to choose from) and press the start button. There you are. In the next eight minutes you will have perfect ice cubes. Maintenance is a very easy process. In fact the icemaker can take care of itself thanks to the automatic cleaning feature. Being rated the best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute is in itself a qualification since this institute is a non-profit organization that is devoted to testing and rating consumer goods since 1983. Every opinion that comes from it is of an unbiased and objective nature and truly trustworthy. Taking the words from this institute it would be a good idea to go for the Best Countertop Ice Maker and counter all ice problems in the next party by spending an amount of $249.95. Make sure you also take a look at products such as Gun Shaped Ice Cube Tray and Ice Cream Ball which have some interesting designs!

Our cellphones are with us wherever we go, and are always there whatever we do. Honestly, think for a moment about the various tasks that cellphones do for us. They can be our music players, our GPS, and just about anything we want them to be. And, if we specifically talk about the iPhone, then there is nothing else one would have wanted in a cellphone. It’s stylish, it’s sleek; and it’s got everything you need to do everything! But, do we give our iPhones the love and respect they deserve? Do we care for them the way they do for us? No, right?

Dyson’s Groom Brush for a Well-Groomed Pooch

admin — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 14:57:11 +0000

If you have a pet, then the problem of its hair shedding probably features number one on your pet peeve list. Moreover, if you are a generally tidy person, this is one thing that could drive you crazy and make you harried even though you love your pet very much! When your pets shed hair, you tend to find them all over the place - your carpet, your couch, in the kitchen, and even in your food! This, especially, if they have long hair and then you find them flying in the air making you sneeze, giving your kid allergies, and making it quite an unsanitary atmosphere at home! The only way to tackle this problem is to get to the very root of it. Yes, I am implying the hair roots. Every pet care expert will tell you that vacuuming up the dog hair will not guarantee you hair-free upholstery for even a single, whole day. The vital thing to do is to spend quality time while brushing your pet’s coat leisurely and with care. But this too will cause shedding and you will find hair around when you brushed the pet. You vacuum it all up and you might still find some runaways in some other part of your house! To relieve you of your agitation is Dyson’s Groom Brush. Using simple common sense and an even simpler technique, the Dyson’s Groom Brush is a boon for all pet owners. It uses a brush that when used on your pet, would be perfect for a soothing massage and at the same time, the resultant loose and shedding hair will be gulped in by the vacuum cleaner-like device that is built into it! Besides, the hair that gets entangled in the teeth of the brush will also get sucked into the vacuum when the bristles retract into the mouth of the machine. This leaves behind a job done efficiently well! You have probably tried the vacuum cleaner on your poodle behind and found him to be averse to it, but the Dyson Groom Brush with its coat brush attached to it would do the trick as the vacuum is not directly applied to the surface of your pet’s coat. It is calm and does not startle your pet away. Also, the Dyson can be doubled as a normal vacuum cleaner! So if you already own a Dyson vac, all you need to do is pick up the attachment accessory for the Groom Brush for $90. Now if that doesn’t sound like a good deal, what does? If you have a cat, you can make use of a Water Fountain and for the rest who are worried about where pets wander, Pet's Eye View Camera is a must have. Via: Oh Gizmo

You as a customer can define the shade of limestone you prefer for your household. In the center of the table top is an indent that houses the fire. Using ethanol based fuel, the fire in the table can be lighted. The choice of fuel has been made as per the purpose. Being a table top fire, it cannot afford to be messy. Moreover, if it starts giving out soot in the middle of your living room it is bound to destroy your other possessions. With the ethanol gel fuel being used here, you can rest in peace.

The fuel remaining in the pit can be reused the next time. The Flame Table comes in two unique sizes of large and medium. The height of both the sizes is the same being 11.5 inches. The medium one is 31.5 inches wide and 21.5 inches deep while the large one is 42 inches wide and 29 inches deep.It is available at $3500.

The Innovative Coffee Bench : A Masterwork to Sit On

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 21:39:12 +0000

Good furniture design these days is like cheese. Everyone claims theirs’ are good but you will only know it for sure after you have brought it home. The thing that is spectacularly peculiar to furniture design though, is the fact that it should not just display a sense of class and chic but all remain modish with changing taste of times and adhere to the law of physics. Science and its imposing rules aren’t something a conventional artist would consider or stick to. Besides, to satisfy a customer you need to give him that ‘one good chair’ that is unique to his tastes and comfort. Considering all these expectations, Karolina Tylka - a product designer and Szymon Nawój - an interior architect came together and collaborated on a venture. And that is how the Polish-based Beyond Standards came into being. Their focus and clarity of thought regarding study and the demands posed by spatial and technological that is contemporary to the creation and the lucidity with which their end product is finally designed, produced and relates to the occupied ambience is evident from their conception. But by far among their best seating design is perhaps their latest Coffee Bench, which is so ingeniously simple that you wonder why no one thought of it before. Not only is the design niftily unpretentious but if you subtly sense the designers’ emphasis on convenience. Your first impression when you look at this present-day masterpiece is a picket fence. A miniature version probably lined with ice cream sticks. You tend to wonder how this thing could ever be comfortable and sat on when you slew a couple of its veering, rotating units, and voila! You discover a straight-backed chair that would both be comfortable and do wonders for your posture while you remain propped up on it in the porch with a book. Swerve one more of those sections and you realize that when you brace them at a certain angle, they form a wide, relaxing armrest for the chair. A desk when you need to jot down or scribble something in a hurry. You could use it anywhere. It could be on the porch for when you are buckling your shoes or reading the paper on a lazy afternoon. It could be on the poolside or pose as a modernistic furniture piece in your living room. Tilt those wooden slivers in any angle, use your imagination and catch new ways to use and find comfort in its use. Like any true piece of art, this coffee bench too lies in the eye of the beholder and how he discerns it to be. For all I know, someone could see an elaborate coat hanger in this design while the artists themselves had a bench in mind. If this is cool, what would you have to say about furniture designs such as Cupcake Table Seat Design and Nicot Wooden Drawers Set. Via: Design Milk

Jabra’s Partnership with Zipcar Brings Us Jabra Cruiser!

admin — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 18:20:59 +0000

Sometime back we got to know that Jabra is partnering with Zipcar for certain products. We were excited and were anticipating what’s next. And to be honest, this is an exciting way of ending our anticipation. We are utterly fascinated by the Jabra Cruiser which is a Bluetooth-enabled in-car speakerphone. This is the ultimate solution for us drivers. Once you have this you won’t need to hold your cellphone against your ears to talk. The speakerphone is really cool at producing crisp sound which makes it easier for you to talk and listen to your buds. We all know how dangerous it can get if we try to steer the car with one hand and hold our phones with the other. But now, things can get much better. With this Jabra CRUISER speakerphone, you can easily drive your car without any hassles and talk to your loved one as well. It is available currently on various retail stores such as Verizon Wireless, Best Buy, and AT&T for around $99. Isn’t that cool? I think it’s pretty inexpensive and a good product as well to have around. Jabra says that they came up with this concept because of the recent survey in USA which showed that talking on the cellphone while driving is one of the major causes of accidents. So, Jabra took the initiative of making something that makes our life easier as well as safe. Besides, the survey reported that only 32% of the people are using hands-free services because of the fact that most of the hands-free devices are not that good. This is exactly where Jabra CRUISER comes in. Here are some of the major features of Jabra CRUISER: - It is integrated with dual microphones for crisp clear audio - Integrated with DSP - It can play music and attend calls via car stereo - You don’t need any installations for it, just clip it on the visor - It offers up to 10 hours of talk time and up to 13 days of standby time I personally think this is one of the best Bluetooth car speakers we have seen so far. Awesome! Check out some more bluetooth gadgets here: The Orb Bluetooth Headset and The Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headset.

Let Your Kitty Power The Humidifier!

admin — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 17:57:17 +0000

We all love our kitties, don’t we? But we also hate them when we feel that they laze around a bit too much. You can’t help it actually – that’s cat nature. They are born emperors and they always like to do things the way they want unlike doggies. So what is the solution? You can’t afford to buy electronic gadgets that work on electricity because you are afraid your kitty will increase your electricity bills. If you are really eager to know the solution then let me present to you the cat-powered humidifier! This thing is designed by Yuan Gu and is basically meant not only to purify the air but also to save your electricity bills and keep your kitty at work. Whenever your feline friend will roll this ball, it will purify the air and at the same time will get recharged as well. That means you save your electricity and your kitty is always busy. Better health at lower consumption, that’s the whole idea here! Known as the Wool Ball, this gizmo runs on hybrid electric power. Hybrid electric power is also known as hybrid battery power so you shouldn’t be confused about it. Now, the trick here is to keep your kitty busy and at the same time make her pay for her fun.

The Actroid F Comes to Your Service

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:30:54 +0000

How are androids different from those other robots with human structure? Androids are basically robots that are fantastically life-like! Their movements are devoid of jerks that are characteristics of robot. Think robot dance moves. Instead, when they shake their head, it is like a bobbing movement. It is extremely life-like and unless you are told pre-hand or stare at it while it works, it is hard to tell an android apart from a human being. Because of this, many people find them strange and describe them as creepy, since it is after all just a man-made machine. In what is known as the ‘uncanny valley,’ these androids are a reality at large. One such android is the Actroid F. It has been named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the ‘first android in the true sense.’ A remarkable human achievement, it is quite a sight watching the android just as much when it is still, as when it is imitating human movements perfectly. Along with Geminoid F, its supposed twin, they have brought realism to the android world to the fullest. The video showing the android replicating the facial expressions and movements of its machinist, who faced a camera mounted on a teleoperating station, has got countless hits and ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’. Less than a week ago, the Actroid F was paraded in public sight for the first time in Tokyo. Dressed up as a nurse, the purpose was to station it as an observer at a Japanese hospital. Its Japanese inventor and maker, Kokoro, points out that its presence assures the patients and gives them a ‘heightened sense of security.’ Its human-like features and movements also keep the patients continuous company and its animated actions could keep them entertained for hours. In the past, androids have been used in circumstances such as classrooms where they took roll calls and scolded students, following which they reportedly cried as would have been the case with a human teacher. Priced at about $110,000, the makers plan to sell about 100 pieces of the Actroid-F to museums and hospitals where they can serve mechanically as receptionists, at information desks, guides, attendants, etc. This is comparatively cheap as the costs have reduced by employing minimal servomotors. The Actroid F supposedly has many takers, since the response to the trial at the hospital was favorable. The android is 140cm tall, while seated and weighs just about 30 kilograms! The makers are working hard at creating a walking android next. The Actroid F has just paved the way to the future. Be prepared to be wowed! Isn't this awe-inspiring?

Some Weird yet Funky Shoes from Barbara I Gongini

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 16:27:27 +0000

We all love designer shoes don’t we? They are unique and bring along a style statement. Unfortunately, not many of the designer shoes today have variety. I mean most of them look more or less the same. Some of them are adorned with pearls, some of them with crystals, and so on. But the uniqueness misses out. If you are someone who thinks that too, then here are some unique, bold, and trendy shoes from Danish designer Barbara I Gongini. This pair you are seeing is a high-heel wear for ladies who like looking tall and bold. The spikes in the front and at the rear make the shoes look quite bewitching. The good part about this pair is that the spikes are balanced being on both the ends. If they were just in the front, I wonder how weird the shoes would have looked. This one is a pair for guys for formal wearing I guess. The spikes have been attached on a pair of forma shoes so yes, they are formal wears. Now, this is the wear which makes gets me thinking – who would want to wear such stuff to work or in someone’s wedding? I guess this pair was especially designed for Axle Rose. He is the only man who has the guts to carry off such stuff! Here is another formal wear pair for guys. Again, the same pattern. In fact, these shoes look weirder than the first pair. But to be honest, I am starting to develop a likeness towards them. They for sure look of genuine leather and Viking-ish! This is the last pair which thankfully doesn’t have any spikes. For ladies, this one is quite retro style. I would call them the poodle shoes! No offense meant. By calling them poodle shoes I don’t mean to say that they are not good. In fact they are real pretty if you talk in terms of being stylish. They for sure will turn many eyes towards your feet and I guess every girl would want that wouldn’t she? Here are some other accessories from the designer… Check out some more weird shoes here: The Alien Heels and The Handmade Shoes.

The Follow Me Puppy

admin — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:12:52 +0000

Until the twentieth century, very few toys were possessed by kids, which they considered precious. Those were the days when mere survival was everyone’s concern and hence, there was not much time for amusing oneself. In short, items and things were not meant to be had fun with. It is not sure what the first toys were during prehistoric times, but a lot of oddly shaped rocks and sticks were used to keep young kids busy. Basically it was wood that was later used in the ancient ages to make toys by the Greek and Romans. Such toys were passed on from generation to generation. As time passed, the quality of the toys gradually increased and with the advancement in technology, the invention of interesting toys exploded and still continues till date. By the twentieth century, toys were figured out to be the most popular form of amusement for kids. Also, using the battery technology in making toys has changed the way these work. The basic principle is the same, but it is just that toys now relying on batteries have replaced the clockwork and string technology used long ago. Besides toys, pet dogs are another great thought to keep kids company. The only issue faced is about training, maintaing, and keeping kids safe from them. But they flow out unconditional love with those adorable puppy eyes following one around everywhere. However, it’s a hassle to look after them especially since they need to get trained as to the correct place to poop and pee. This is exactly why Hammacher Schlemmer has come up with the Follow Me Puppy which is as entertaining as a real pup and with no poop to clean about it. It appears really cute with a smile that is friendly and has floppy dangling ears. It follows the kid around while singing and talking, without having to be bribed for with treats. The puppy follows one while it is attracted by an infrared bone. Well, the package comes with a bone that transmits infrared rays to which the puppy responds. The bone containing the transmitter has a polyester casing, which is non toxic, and it can be slipped and hooked onto the child’s wrist secured with hook and eye clasps. The puppy will cry out the child’s name begging it to come and play, when it cannot see the bone. The child’s name has to be recorded initially using the in-built microphone. The puppy will roll over on flat and smooth floorings avoiding obstacles with the help of two wheels and a caster. The puppy has in-built infrared sensors that can sense the rays from the bone up to 12 feet away. At a price of $49.95, it requires four AA and two AAA batteries to function and while it is best to go eco-friendly these days, one might as well get rechargeable batteries. You can also take a look at Robotic Dog Toy, but if you don't like puppies go through Little Blue Pony.

Check Out this Angry Birds Cake!

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 19:44:24 +0000

Anyone who has ever played Angry Birds is in love with the game. It is one of the most beautifully fascinating games I have ever played. To be honest, when I saw it, I was a bit skeptical about it. I mean of course what else would you expect from a guy who lives in the 21st century. We have 3D games now and if someone comes up and shows you a Pacman like game won’t you be surprised? But, after playing the game, I was extremely sure of the fact that it is one of the best-est ever games! And, I wish that it is released soon for gaming consoles with some upgraded graphics and stuff. Anyways, on one side you have a popular game ‘Angry Birds’ and on the other side you have another very steaming phenomenon these days which is the cake making art. We have Yoda head cakes, Mickey Mouse cakes, Batman cakes, and even Wolverine cakes, but this one is something different. Basically, from the maker’s point, I don’t think it’s more difficult than making a Wolverine or Batman cake but if you talk about how neat the cake looks, then this one for sure tops the chart! What’s good about this cake is that your complete flock of Angry Birds is there and all of the evil pigs are there too. But, don’t get too violent and start beating the hell out of those pigs. It’s a cake after all! The base of this cake is made from dark chocolate and so is the hilly area on which the pigs are resting. I am not quite sure of the rest of the items so I won’t comment. One thing I would like to add here is that the cake overall looks extremely neat and yummy which is a very important aspect overlooked by most cake makers. Remember, the Green Lantern cake? That was a big messy cake but this one isn’t. This is one is cute, neat and yummy yummy! Wanna have some birds and pigs? Take out your knife and get ready for the ultimate battle! Nice design Fonatic71! If you loved this one, then these are for you: The Cheshire Cat Cake and Alice in Wonderland and Cheshire Cat Cake.

Voice Recognition Desk Alarm Clock

admin — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:13:03 +0000

So when was it the last time when you wished for an alarm clock that could listen to your voice and shut down? Believe it or not, nobody wants to even see that alarm clock early in the morning tweeting like a morning bird. It is annoying and even more annoying is when you have to literally get up and shut it down. Moreover, it gets even worse when it starts alarming and you (while you are half sleep) strike it with all your might and it shuts down. What happens is that you go back to sleep and the clock doesn’t even wake you up again. So, if you suffer from such situations and you completely hate the traditional alarm clocks then this Voice Recognition Desk Alarm Clock is for you! What does it do? If you really are asking me what this clock can do then I am sure you don’t really know about the voice recognition technology. Basically, this clock is equipped with voice recognition technology which means that it will recognize your voice and stop alarming. But this does not mean that even if you scream while you are half asleep, this clock will shut down. No my friend, it will only stop when it recognizes your voice pattern. More clearly, you need to input your voice to set the alarm which means that once it starts alarming it will recognize the same voice tone and stop. If you have set the alarm when you were all fresh, then no matter how much you scream while you are half asleep, this watch won’t stop. Isn’t that good? I mean you will have to get up and literally get all freshen up to stop the clock. I guess that is the only way all of us (the lazy bums) will be punctual to work. Here are the features of this clock: • Voice Recognition Technology • Digital Alarm Clock • High Quality Sound • AM/FM Radio So, still thinking of whether to buy it or not? I would suggest you to go and get this clock before it gets out of stock! If you liked this, you will love these: The Water Powered Clock and The Eyeglass Tray Alarm Clock. Via: Ithomeproducts

Carnival at Home with the Candy Floss Maker

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 13:55:35 +0000

Carnivals, fairs, circuses… all these come to mind when one thinks of the candy floss. The fluffy cloud in pink, blue, yellow, purple, green, and other colors, the woolly feel of it and the way it melts without lasting for more than a second inside one’s mouth, tops the candy list at all times. Dating back to the 14th century, called as spun sugar in Italy, candy floss was prepared by melting sugar and using forks to make strings which was dried and served as dessert. But candy floss gained popularity during the 18th century, William Morrison and John C. Wharton patented their invention of the candy maker which functioned under the centrifugal force. But the candy’s first debut was in the Paris Exposition and St. Louis World Fair in the 1900s, where melted sugar, with or without coloring, was pushed by using the force through a screen. Strands of the mixture created out of the screen were collected in a bowl only to be served by being wrapped around a cone or stick. A year later, another machine different to some extent from the previous one was patented by Thomas Patton who partnered with Ringling Bros. Circus and the confection is served even today. Popularly known as spun sugar, fairy floss and candy floss, the sweetmeat earned the name cotton candy in the 1920s. Served as a dessert or sweet only to the well-offs during earlier times. It is now a commercialized mass marketed product, thanks to human intellect and technology. But would it not be great to bring home the floss instead of having to wait for a carnival to hit your town to grab it? Well, with the Candy Floss Maker, it's carnival at home every day. When switched on after adding caster sugar into it, the machine heats up, upon which the central head spins. Liquid sugar is forced out of the machine’s perforations, which cool and re-solidify when the threads come in contact with cool air. This will result in sugary threads to collect in the bowl provided which can be gathered around a candy floss cone by twisting the stick to catch the floss, the whole process consumes 5 to 10 minutes per candy. At a price of £34.99, the maker comes with a year’s manufacturer warranty, and is shipped with a UK plug. Since new halogen technology has been employed, more candy floss is delivered in less time compared to traditional heating elements. The pack includes a plastic measuring spoon, a detachable bowl, and splash guard that are dishwasher safe. All that is needed is sugar to make the floss to which powdered food coloring can be added. The makers offer their new flavored sugars (lemon, vanilla pink, sassy apple, and blue raspberry) for an additional amount. The candy floss, a creation so ethereal, has even a national day dedicated to itself. December 7th is celebrated as the National Cotton Candy Day in America. But with the Candy Floss Maker, each day is bound to be a candy floss day in your lives. This is just too amazing!

Has anyone realized how true it is when one says that a photo speaks a thousand words? Well, give it a moment’s thought. A picture captures every striking part of your life which passes away in a flash and helps you in revisiting those beautiful moments as and when you want to.Thanks to Sir John Herschel to have coined the term photography meaning light and writing in Greek. Alhazen introduced the first pinhole camera to the world which was also called the Camera Obscura. This camera was used to produce the first ever photographic illustration in 1827. The chemical process of photography followed next with Louis Daguerre experimenting further to also figure out that image taken, if immersed in salt, could be made permanent. But many pundits and artists were against these upcoming inventions. But the many experiments continued. And in 1835, the first paper negative was produced and further into the future, improvements were kept being made to only increase quality with every picture taken. What made a mark or turning point was the foreword of the dry plate process. And by 1940s, color films were made commercial and available and the inventions and discoveries went on and on. It was in 1984 that the first digital still camera was introduced by Canon. Well, the progress that the camera industry has made is very evident with the range of digital cameras available in the market. And it was almost over 150 years ago that 3D photography existed through Professor Charles Wheatstone’s belief. An instrument called the stereoscope was invented to view images in 3D and since last hundred years it's one of the most well-liked type of entertainment. And hence, one would definitely be proud to own a camera that could produce 3D images. This is why the Japanese company, Takara-Tomy, has come out with the 3D Shot Cam, a toy cam combined with the 3D technology. Now, it isn’t just any mere toy of plastic where kids can press knobs and buttons and play. But it is indeed a camera with two lenses capable of taking original pictures. Over the past years many award-winning pictures have been clicked by professional photographers using toy cameras. One can take pictures in 3D, with this cam, which when printed out can be viewed with special glasses. This camera is splendid when it comes to taking close up shots since objects in the images pop right out up close. The package includes a camera of pink or white color, two 3D shot viewers to view the clicked and printed pictures and a manual in Japanese. The cam, that weighs not more than 100 grams, has a 0.3 megapixel sensor for taking small prints and has SD card slot but the card isn’t included in the pack. The 3D shot cam is nothing different from an expensive 3D digital camera since the same thing is output by both of them. At a price of US$77, this product is worth a buy and kids are sure to love it. One can get this 3D camera shipped at $19 only . DragonFly Camera is another design you will like for its design. In fact, Pet's Eye View Camera is another gadget that will help you keep a watch on your pets.

The Amazing Equilibrium Bookcase

admin — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 13:55:36 +0000

From clay tablets, papyrus, wax tablets, parchments, to the present day papers, writings are best preserved and cherished in the form of books. How much ever technology advancement tries to replace hard copy books in the form of soft copy e-books, the blissful satisfaction one gets from reading a hard copy book is something incredibly different. Look around, and one will find that book collection is one of the most common fads possessed. But one cannot obviously stack these books collected on the floor or stash them away in some corner of the room. Thanks to the advent of furniture making, bookcases were introduced back in 15th century. With the advancement of printing in Europe, popularity of books increased and storing them became a concern. Before the creation of bookcases, the collected books were piled inside closets. The doors of these closets were taken off so as to gain an easier right to use the books. Books were placed vertically since the title of the book was printed on its cover’s spine. All this explains how the bookcases got their basic and original design. Initially oak was used to build the bookcases which were structured in very simple designs. English carpenters in the 18th century started to make bookcases look more elegant by adorning them with various designs and the craftsmen in France followed their direction. Many embellished bookcases were made by Chippendale and Sheraton. Shortly mahogany, satinwood, unusual timbers and rosewood were also being used in designing the bookcases. The style of furniture made initially was stated by the ruling sovereign of a country and also was subject to the tools and materials that were available to make the furniture and the knowledge of the craftsmen. But in the present era, what is seen is way different from what was seen. A perfect example will be the latest piece of furniture from Malagana Design, the Equilibrium Bookcase. The equilibrium bookcase that performs the basic function of holding books, like any other bookcase, resembles a couple of cubes stacked up so as to put on a balancing act. They look like they are floating in thin air defying gravity. This structuring of the bookcase makes it seem like the cubes may crumple down any moment, it is actually quite a robust one and can take 120lbs of books. The cubes are designed such that they get rid of the need for bookends since the books are themselves supported when placed in the bookcase. The colors that the bookcase is offered in make it all the more charming. It comes in a combination of a walnut veneer on the outer area and either white, Celeste or graphite on the inside. The modules are assembled on top of each other at a single angled point and can be done so easily without usage of any tools or hardware. Such a surrealistic creation is perfect for present day’s modern interiors, especially in an era where retro fashion is the growing trend for such innovations. Decay Shelves and Magnetic Containers are other variations, which will be both useful and decorative for your homes. Via: Fubiz

The 8-Bit Watch

admin — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 18:50:26 +0000

Who says that the black and white era has gone? We still wear and appreciate accessories that come with the black and white theme. To be honest, if it’s about fashion accessories, they look quite decent. And with this in mind, let me present to you the magnificent 8-bit watch. This is one watch that I would describe as not only being spectacular but also a watch which brings back the fashion of the 80s. We all loved the watches back then didn’t we? I mean at least they are better than those weird LED watches. Honestly speaking I hate most of the watch designs we see today especially the LED ones. I mean watches are meant to be simple yet classy fashion accessories. I do agree that sports watches should have a plethora of features because the athletes need it, but when it comes to a decent watch for a formal night out, trust me you'll find yourself in a mess trying to make the selection. Bulgy and weird looking watches is all we have nowadays around us. At this point, I miss my colleague who always used to whine about how cool the world was back in the 80s. The ‘rock’ trend was on, people could have kept weird hairstyles with everyone appreciating them. Things like watches, cars, and rings used to be so classy and elegant. Where did all of that go? Well, I don’t really know, but what I know is that we are not the only ones who whine about all that. I guess pretty much everyone knows it and that is the reason we see such stuff coming up every now and then. Yup, this 8-Bit Watch is one such product that has been made keeping in mind the old school fashion of watches. It looks ultimately cool yet decent at the same time. It has stainless steel face and ABS band and is available in black or white theme. The best part is that it is just available for $69.99 so you shouldn’t even think twice while giving it a try. Once you try it, trust me you won’t feel like wearing any other watch! Check out some more cool watches here: The One Line Watch Concept and The Electronic Bracelet Watch.

Bang – The Unique Table Lamp

admin — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 14:50:35 +0000

The present world is an electrified surrounding. To make post day time a cordial place to live in and bring out the light in the darkness is a blessing that lamps have bestowed upon us. Different adaptations of lamps have been present all through history that dates back to almost 72,000 years ago. Until almost the 18th century, desk lamps were mere oil lamps. Animal fat was initially used as a source of fuel to make light and once pottery techniques came into limelight, people started making lamps of different shapes after which followed metal lamps. Pretty striking and tasteful lamps came into existence when the Greek started experimenting with terra-cotta and these lamps replaced torches. And with the invention of central burners, there was a great improvement in lamp making. Towards late 17th century, gas lamps started to get commercialized. And early 19th century saw the invention of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas Alva Edison. This started replacing the gas lamps. And it is specifically because of this invention that table lamps started to get popularized. By 1930s, almost every household possessed a table lamp and it has been becoming only more and more common with each passing day and has almost become a necessity. And today, one finds such a wide range of lamps in contemporary as well as modern styles. One is sure to find a lamp for any kind of milieu that can be imagined. And these are not only on the basis of the strength of the light it can let out, but also for its functionality and style. And here is Japanese design company, Bitplay INC, with the most awesome of all inventions, the Bang! The incorporation’s focal idea is to involve a little humor into interacting with everyday objects like desk lamps. It is always fun to play around a little with these objects while still maintaining their elegance like eliciting magic in everyday living. Bang! It looks like any normal desk lamp with a white lampshade, but this set comes accompanied with a white toy gun. The basic ideology behind this invention is to be able to turn off the light on the lamp by simply pointing the gun towards it, pulling the trigger and shooting. Once aimed well and shot, the light turns off and the lampshade topples and knocks over to the side at an angle like playing dead. And to bring back the light on, bring the shade back to its normal position. This lamp is great for those who have decided to go against clappers to turn off lights that are across the room. Lighting choices in and around places are no more boring, plain, or uninteresting with such inventions as the Bang ! This lamp is a clever and smart invention that is creative and playful while at the same time, it serves its purpose too. This product might probably bring out the assassin or sniper in you. And video game addicts can keep practicing with this to improve their aim. Unique designs such as those of Pouring Light Lampshade and Ghost Lamps will definitely want you to get one for your homes too.

Can You Make a Concrete Mix Mortar Bulb?

admin — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 18:57:32 +0000

So you are looking for a hook that is concrete and can withstand all your heavy apparels such as your leather jackets, velvet blazers, and so on. Although I know that you already have one sturdy hook in your room to hang your stuff on, trust me once it is overloaded, it can break apart. So what can you do about it? I suggest you follow the footsteps of this Virginia based dude called Whamodyne. What he came up with is something quite cool. Well even like us, he wanted to create a sturdy and tough hook to hang his stuff on and was quite tired of trying out nearly everything he could try. So what did he do? Unlike us, this dude decided to be a little creative to design a hook that is strong and will not damage the apparel once it is hung on it. How? Simply by creating the face of the hook round instead of keeping it pointed. Now here is what this dude did – he took a light bulb and filled it with mortar mix concrete. Once the mortar was dry, he broke the glass off and what remained was a concrete mortar mix round hook that can be mounted up on the wall and his clothes could be hung on it. Isn’t that something really simple? Actually it is simple but I wonder why we don’t get such ideas. I guess that is what they mean by ‘creative people.’ So the point here is that with a little creativity, even you can make something that will make the world go all wow! Look at this thing, I mean it’s so easy to make but most of us I am sure never even thought about it. Not only as hooks, you can even utilize this concrete bulb for a plethora of other purposes such as paint them and use them as colored bulbs or something else. Everything is possible only if you'll be a little creative. Hats off to you Whamodyne, great work there!

The FLEXiT Light

admin — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:40:16 +0000

There are times when we want to have portable lights that are sturdy and can survive damages. What happens is that most of the portable lights you get out there are quite ridiculous in terms of their resistance level towards damages. This is where this FLEXiT Light comes in.

You wouldn’t need to be worried about getting special clips to hang your light on the walls. This FLEXiT Light can be folded and kept anywhere you want it to be kept.

Zipper Bracelet Watch Design

admin — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:30:03 +0000

Talk about unique and funky LED watches and the Zipper Bracelet Watch Design just fits in. To be honest, most of the LED watches we see are quite weird looking. In fact, some of them are not even worth wearing. I mean imagine you are wearing a watch with numerous red, yellow, blue, and green lights on it, won’t it look strange? Of course it does and I guess that’s the only reason why the watch designers these days are looking towards designing more and more realistic watch designs. This is where the Zipper Bracelet watch comes in. Designed by Andy from Ukraine, this bracelet watch is meant to be a heavy metal rock bracelet watch. Basically, the concept here is to design a watch that looks more like a bracelet or a wrist strap instead of a watch. I personally think Andy has achieved his goal because this watch looks nothing like a watch. And, when you read the time out to your friend looking at your bracelet, he would be quite astonished as to what you are exactly doing. That’s the best part about this watch! This watch design has a broad leather strap and the zippers you can see on its display time. Now that’s the more fascinating part. You would be wondering how exactly can zippers show time? Well that’s the trick here. When you push the central buttons on the wrist each zip will display a single digit. If you combine all four numbers it will tell you the exact time. Check out the picture below which explains how exactly this watch works. Currently we only have pictures of the straps being in white color. Although I personally think that they would look cooler in black, brown, and pink. Pink for ladies and of course brown and black for guys. This can be the ultimate watch of the millennium if the designer plans on working on it a bit more. Anyways, right now, I guess we should appreciate Andy for this wonderful concept. Hats off Andy!

These Hex Watch Bands are Cool!

admin — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:07:38 +0000

We all know that recently there has been a new trend of creating your iPod into a wrist watch. We have already reported about several wrist watch straps that have been made available to the masses and a lot of them are still to come. You cannot deny the fact that to date, all the straps that we have reported about were quite cool. But, they were all straps right? This is what makes the Hex Watch bands special. These are not just bands, but are a complete protection package for your iPod. Most of the bands you get for the iPod are just bands, which means that when you attach your iPod to them, it is still exposed to dust and damages. But these Hex straps are different.

The Amazing City Lights Globe

admin — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 18:06:54 +0000

The City Lights Globe is a rotating globe that illuminates to show how the cities of the world look during night time, from outer space. Amazingly, the globe glistens with a soft white glow in major metro cities spanning Eastern Europe and North America. It shows sparsely lit areas too, scattered through out Africa and Russia. The city lights get automatically illumined in low ambient lighting and they dim automatically when the globe is exposed to light, thereby displaying a multi color political map with topographical shading and place names for major cities, countries, and massive bodies of water. This splendidly fascinating ten inch globe rotates automatically on a mirrored base that reflects Antarctica and the surrounding bodies of water. The City Lights Globe very effectively captures the ethereal beauty that surrounds cities around the world at night as dusk falls, and the city responds by lighting up buildings and streets. If you even find yourself overlooking a city skyline at dusk, you would be able to have this ethereal experience. But for those of us less fortunate enough to find ourselves placed at such vantage points, the globe is the perfect solution. It helps you to witness the way the earth lights up at night. The City Lights Globe revolves upon its base replicating the revolution of the earth. As it revolves, the cities of the world light up giving you an uncanny sense of viewing that part of the earth from space. Even though the northern hemisphere is thick with lights, certain parts such as Africa are sparsely populated with lights. This provides you with an accurate depiction of the earth and its cities. Apart from offering you a view of the globe from space, the City Lights Globe is one of the most versatile toys ever. Apart from being educational, this toy is very fashionable too. It elegantly decorates any room, home, or office and helps to brighten up the space that it occupies. This makes for a great conversation piece too. Using the City Lights Globe and gazing at Earth gives you a feeling of the planet being lit up brightly like a Christmas tree. With its electronic induction system, the globe appears to float above its base, gently revolving to depict night and day. It very accurately depicts the night time darkness of North Korea and most of Africa. Simply stated, the globe can show both day time and night time simultaneously when the globe rotates too, by itself. The City Lights Globe is placed on a tilted base, and it automatically revolves slowly giving a 360 degree show of the world by day and the world’s lights at night. The base is 5.5 inches by 0.75 inches and weighs almost a kilogram. The revolving mechanism is powered by a 110 V adapter and it is a good physics toy for kids aged fourteen and above. The City Globe does not require any batteries but needs to be plugged in to an AC. It is available at $89.95. So, the next time, when children ask you for toys, make sure you get them toys such as Magic Spinning Globe and Sesame Street Deluxe Chess Set.

The Super Cool NanoWatch

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:01:51 +0000

Entertainment - Isn’t that what everyone looks out for these days? Well, the most popular and most utilized form of entertainment happens to be none other than music! One cannot think of a life without records, cassettes, compact discs, etc. There is music playing along in every step we take in our lives. Moreover, in the present era of nanotechnology, almost everything is compressed and produced in molecular sizes. This applies to the way music has been made available to the general public too. One could easily avail the desired music for free on the internet in compressed formats. Hence, these days such formats of music have outrun the sales of discs, cassettes, records, tapes, etc. But since these formats happened to be intangible, they needed to be stored in a solid and concrete touchable space so as to enable them to be listened to. Thus, the era fell into the creation of mp3 players, iPods, etc. These petite pieces of inventions stored the formatted music and one could listen to them with the help of earphones. The one creation that has topped the charts is the iPod Nano, yet again a nanotechnology production. The first generation was brought out in 2005 in place of iPod mini. It is the smallest in the iPod range after iPod shuffle. The nano itself has gone through alterations almost every year since when it was introduced, the latest being the sixth generation nano, a square piece of creation that works on multi-touch screen technology. A clip on the back is equipped onto the nano so that one can clip it onto an armband, belt, etc. It also has a watch feature like any music player and includes the Nike fitness alternative. But how much ever attractive the small size of the nano is, it equally worries the owner about breaking them or scratching them, in short, damaging them in anyway. Well, fret not! Danes has come up with the NanoWatch to replace polymer cases used to protect the gadget. The Watch strap has a nick in its body to fit in the iPod nano using its in-built back clip. By doing this, one will be enabled to use their nano as a wristwatch by turning on the watch feature in the player. Also, the strap comes in three varied colors, blue, pink, and grey, that complements the nano’s bright paints. It is made out of purely eco-friendly resources and nothing toxic at all. So now, one need not worry about damaging their precious nano by sitting on it or dropping it. It will stay strapped to their wrist and it’s like carrying all your favorite music at the tips of your hands and at the same time having an extraordinary super cool watch. At a price of $19.99, the package comes with only the NanoWatch strap and does not include the iPod nano. So strap up, march ahead with the bright lit arm band while tuning to the music from your nano. ORBE LED Watch and Neon-ized LED Watch should be your choices if you believe in fashion.

The Dentist’s Teeth Whitener

admin — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:55:55 +0000

Smile is a language understood better than spoken words. A lot is conveyed through a mere smile. Since a plain smile is so important, it has always been necessary for everyone to keep their teeth clean and white. Well, the teeth whitening process has been going on for thousands of years and by tracing its history back to 3000BC, it has been learned that, ‘chew sticks’ were used to clean and whiten the teeth. The sticks were made out of branches with one end tussled to brush on the teeth and polish them. Around 2000BC the same chew stick was used by the Egyptians along with toothpaste made out of pumice rock and wine vinegar. There are even records of Romans using toothpaste containing human urine since ammonia in urine was found to be a good teeth whitener. Well, usage of chew sticks still exists these days, in some under developed parts of the world. Earlier teeth whitening formula, consisting of lime chloride, were used by the dentists for cleaning dentures. But later on, they came to be known for whitening the teeth too. These days, peroxide is the most common chemical agent used for teeth whitening purposes. The first method for bleaching stained teeth was introduced by Dr. James Truman in 1864 and was called the Truman method. It involved releasing chlorine from chlorinated lime and adding acids to it. Another method was proposed by Dr. Wright of Virginia involving chlorine again. Basically, in the present day, there are innumerous ways of whitening one’s teeth and so, many smoke, drink coffee and wine without any fear of staining their own teeth. But what most people dread about is going to the dentist. It is the uncertainty of pain one would have to go through caused by those large scary looking instruments while seated on the dentist’s chair, helpless with one’s mouth wide open. Also, one may not be able to afford for the many visits he or she has to make to the dentist. So, this is exactly why Hammacher Schlemmer has come up with the Dentist’s Teeth Whitener. A portable use-at-home instrument, this uses the same technology preferred by dentists to whiten the teeth. It increases one’s teeth’s whiteness up by four shades in one week. All one has to do is to apply the whitening gel and for a couple of minutes the plasma light has to be held to one’s teeth. The light comes out of a mouthpiece that one has to bite onto to align the light properly onto the teeth. This will speed up the whitening process and will result in a 200% more bleaching than when bleaching toothpaste is used. At a price of $49.95, the package includes two mouthpieces, one-third ounce of the whitening gel, and also a whiteness shade guide which will help one to observe the advancement made. Three AA batteries will power up the instrument and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Recharge your Device Using your Own Energy

admin — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:55:54 +0000

Don’t you just hate it that you have the energy to be out on your feet all day, but your cellphone opts out? The same goes for all other mobile phone devices- mp3 players, iPods, and portable DVD players. What is the point of having these gadgets if you can’t use them on the go? Throughout? Well looks like someone’s been listening to you, because the nPowerPEG is the exact solution to that. Brought out by Tremont Electric, this device is powering the new generation and giving a boost to the idea of running the world on renewable energy. This product is in one word- futuristic. So what is nPowerPEG? This handy, yet powerful device is a way to fuel the batteries in the handheld devices that you use in everyday life. The only quintessential reason that sets this gizmo apart from any other invention is the fact that it recharges using kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is that what generates power through action. For instance, you walk a mile and you generate energy for the nPowerPEG to recharge your mobile phone. Just hold it in your hand while you are out for your morning jog, put it in your backpack while you pedal to work or school. Just put it on yourself and watch the device charge its internal battery to make available top-up power just when you will need it. It has been created using elementary physics- Michael Faraday’s Principle of Electromagnetic Induction. It just made it a working reality. It simply, is the way to harvest energy like never before. In other Tremont Electrics news, we have the equally revolutionary nPower WEC. WEC here stands for Wave Energy Convertors. The sole motive that fuelled its invention is the efficacy but skyrocketing costs of renewable energy today. The initial expenses that go into investing in a solar panel or a windmill turbine put the masses off from adopting renewable energy. Yet, renewable energy will not only allow more people to gain access to marvels of electricity but also keep our environment healthy. So to help sustainable development become beyond a textbook term, Tremont Electric brought out nPowerWEC. These convertors allow you to produce electric energy from the energy generated by the ripples in our local lakes or waves that hit the beaches. It allows you to generate this power on a large-scale. This too is based on the sample principle of elementary physics and the terribly important factor that makes it utilitarian- it keeps a check on the all important bills. Finally, some no-frills renewable energy. Elementary isn’t it? nPowerPEG and nPowerWEC are your passport to the future. Get it. Wonderful, isn't it? Solio Rocsta Hybrid Solar Charger and Solar Powered Fridge are other set of gadgets that work on solar energy.

The Electric Personal Transporter

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 14:55:51 +0000

It was quite a way long back in history that the world economy decided to get eco-friendly with its way of conducting life. Somewhere during early 1830s, the first electric carriage was invented in Scotland by Robert Anderson. Well, by the 20th century, rail and car transport were all over becoming more and more common and were almost ruling the market. But over time, their usage reduced commercially and was mainly employed in the loads sector. But in the present day, anything that generates lesser harmful impact on Mother Nature is promoted as eco-friendly since that is exactly what is in demand. Even the general public is ever ready to go green with everything. One of the easiest forms of reducing environmental pollution is to start using public transport, or to cycle all the way or to use one’s own legs! But there is a great amount of objection to the mentioned alternatives above, since not many are comfortable with public transportation, cycling, and walking takes one a longer time to reach their destination. Then one fine day, Dean Kamen came up with a mysterious invention called the Segway Human Transporter. It was a transportation machine of course, which was electric powered and functioned on human balancing. The rider’s weight shifting decided direction and speed of the machine. One of the two handle bars contained a turning mechanism that functioned manually. Though a little pricey, the Segway invention came across as an innovative and at the same time, a life saver for those who were looking out for options to go green. Anyhow, now lo and behold! Hammacher Schlemmer has come up with the Electric Personal Transporter. Those who could not afford the Segway can easily cash in on this zero emission Personal Transporter, a four wheeled machine that can hit a speed of 20 mph on running. One can maneuver it easily on a smooth surface be it a paved path or a drive way or a sidewalk to run a quick errand or to drive around leisurely in the park. Two 16” drive wheels help in the forward and reverse movement of the vehicle. Both the wheels contain a 700 watt electric motor each which power the transporter. Two 4 ½” wheels at the rear provide balance and steering. The handlebars contain the handbrakes which help in stopping the vehicle during motion of course.

They were seen as cool, got the science geeks among us thinking and are on display till this date. So much, that Mathmos could not improve on it anymore, instead they just make it larger than life! Imagine what an amazing sight one of these Giant Lava Lamps could be at your big promotion party or at your middle-schooler’s birthday bash! No matter the age, everyone eventually gets mystified by it and gazes at its slow show of dancing goo. Giant Lava Lamps are no joking matter. They can be at a towering two metres in height and twenty centimetres in diameter. That’s a lot of space that is going to affect the design of the rest of the room. Considering this and the general craze about the revolutionary lava lamps, Mathmos is now bringing out custom-built ones! Right from the metal base to the cap that holds the gloop in, to the color of the wax inside and the powder coating- they are all to your liking and fancy. You order it, they make it. Now there are certain metrics that should be kept in mind when you order one for your Malibu pad or Evil Genius lair. This Goliath among lamps is huge! Once installed, it really cannot be moved easily to say the least. In fact, for this reason and because of variation of the preparation of the slime inside, it has to be filled on location only. And if this mystifying awesome globule ever wanes, refill packs are totally available! But this is not really necessary because the fluid is likely to last for a cool 2000 years at the least! Mathmos also offers installation services if you are living in a major city. This is highly in the offing because if you can afford this biggie, then you sure are living it up in the big city. Signed, sealed, and delivered for a cool £3,000, the Giant Lava Lamps are available in a plethora of colors which can be mixed and matched. The lava comes in placid colors like white, yellow, and blue and also shades like purple, pink, black, green, and orange - those are sure to give the room a spicy aura.

In my opinion, if innovative lamp design is your choice, get one of these for your homes - Modern Drift Lighting, Corkscrew and Glowing Bulbs, and Bedside Night Lamp.

The Pain Relieving Neuromuscular Stimulator System

admin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:28:12 +0000

There are times when you stumble upon certain devices which really make you feel excited. I agree most of such devices are associated to fun and leisure for us but at times, its more than that. Today I am talking about a device which is neither a gaming keyboard nor a slim and sleek mobile but is more of a medical device that can make lives easier for all those who want a simple and easy solution for their muscle aches. Yes, it is The Pain Relieving Neuromuscular Stimulator System that can work on almost any body part and relieve you from the pain. What is it about? Basically, The Pain Relieving Neuromuscular Stimulator System is a cordless electrotherapy device which can provide a drug free therapy for hours to the sore areas (areas which are aching). If you are a frequent sufferer of lower back aches, then you won’t need to run to the hospital every now and then. This one device can handle all of it for you. The device actually employs Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy method which was developed back in the 70s. This method has been widely adopted by therapist worldwide because they know how effective it is. How does it work? What happens is that when the self-adhesive electrode pads come in contact with the body parts they send low-frequency electrical pulses which are harmless into the tissues. This way the pain signals which are passing through the tissues to the brain are impeded. Blood flow is increased to the sore spot and relaxes the area and stops the pain. The device works on three AAA batteries and the total dimensions of it are 6" L x 2 3/4" W x 1" D. The America Physical Therapy Association says that the TENS therapy is great for relieving the body from the ache. Precautions to be taken: People with pacemakers should not use this device. And, don’t think it as a permanent method of reliving pain because it is meant for temporary purposes. The device is available for $129.95 which is quite a cheap price tag compared to what it can do for you! Check out some more stuff here: Mejikara Anti-Wrinkle Glasses and The Hair-Washing Robot.

The Cleanwave Sanitizing Furniture and Bed Vac

admin — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 18:33:09 +0000

In this present day of fast economic and industrial growth, it is no surprise that pollution and contamination and hence diseases, spread at a rate faster than the former growth mentioned. So ever since there have been experiments on various sanitizing methods to go clean and hygienic. Lately it has been quite strongly proved that UV-C light ray is effective in eliminating contamination. UV-C or ultraviolet C is one the three light rays emitted by the sun which are invisible. Even though it has been identified to be the most dangerous UV, UV-C does not pose any threat to life on earth since it cannot break through the ozone layer. Solid, non-permeable surfaces contain innumerous amount of bacteria, eggs of flea, bacteria, dust mite, etc. It has been over thirty years since light disinfection technology has been in use for water treatment, hospitals, in processing food, HVAC systems, etc. It has been studied that the UV-C light can deodorize surfaces in households while at the same time it has been stated to being a safe method sanitization that is environmentally correct. The ultraviolet C light has natural disinfectant properties contained in it. Moreover, it is free from chemicals, does not contain any odor and environmentally produces no side effects. Usage of UV-C light as a disinfectant is a great idea when compared to other household products used for cleaning. This is because the latter mentioned products’ ingredients include dyes, scents, solvents, and other agents can affect people prone to asthma or other allergies. This also adds up to increasing pollution of air and water. This is exactly why CleanWave has come up with the Sanitizing Furniture and Bed Vac which sanitizes and deodorizes and doesn’t contain any chemical or allergen. CleanWave has been proved to be able to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria including the MRSA (in one second), flea eggs, dust mite, and viruses including H1N1 from surfaces of a household. Besides killing germs, dust mite, eggs, it will deodorize bed linen and mattresses without spoiling the materials and stuffs. CleanWave performs the same function, which is sanitization, like any other wipes or sprays but almost 30 times faster than the latter. For those wondering how this CleanWave works, the UV-C light that is germicidal infiltrates the cell membranes of the micro-organisms and causes damage to the DNA. This would stop the increasing growth of the germs on that surface. Thus, CleanWave will not leave any residue that is harmful on the household surface. The Vac uses 400 watts of power for high, constant and strong suction and the action in a cyclonic motion ensures that the waste and dust are kept away from the filter. Pollutants are not re-circulated because of the bacterium filtration that is a two stage process. The Vac is designed in such a way that it is easy to empty since it is bag-less. It includes a hand vacuum that can be detached and the item comes with a one year limited warranty for a price of $129.95. Refresh - Air Cleaner and Hi - Tech Vacuum Cleaners are other products that every cleanliness freak will want to have in her home!

The Seats – An Amazing Circle Library

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 18:37:53 +0000

Yet another Yanko design, the “the seat –circle-library’ was creatively envisaged and designed by Thomas Mills. He evidently had two aspects in mind while designing this circular library- long form and short form. Long form implies things that take more than a few seconds to access like books, and films. Short form, according o Thomas Mill ‘s parlance includes the internet and magazines and text messages. The Seats- circle library project encapsulates the longer and more involved library of items which surrounds the person accessing it. The circle seat library stands at 246 centimeters tall and is made entirely from hand cut plywood. You can sit comfortably within the cradle formed by the circle library and rock gently back and forth. Be careful as you do so, lest you be rolled away. The seats-circle library can easily hold its own weight in books. The seats are cushioned which is a nod to the futuristic furniture displayed in Stanley Kubrick films. Reading lamps are placed at strategic points throughout the seat-circle library. Lights placed around the entire circumference of the seats- circle library acts as a clock too, the timers changing the brightness of the lights to its highest at the equinox of the day and dimmed to nothing at midnight! The designer Thomas Mill is against shipping it but would willingly fly out to make a similar one for you. The library is entirely customizable. It is simple to install further features into it too. The lighting is controlled from a compartment in the base of the library where there is additional room for audio visual equipment and a WiFi router. Screens and speakers can also be fitted into the fascia above the seat and below the reading lights. A lot of thought and ingenuity has gone into designing this Seats-circle library. It is functional as well as attractive, unique, and saves up on a lot of space. At any time, during installation of the Seats- circle library, additional features can be easily incorporated in to it, making it the sole customizable circular library in the world. The Seats-circle library can be installed in both schools, private institutions, and even at homes, affording your kids and youngsters a lot of fun indulging in them. They can rock themselves comfortably back and forth while reading their favorite books, magazines, and novels at leisure. Creative Wall Cabinet can also be an alternative for maintaining your books. But if you are more of a tech-savvy, then MacView is just for you!

The “How-Are-Babies Made" Watch

admin — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:18:39 +0000

Ever caught off guard when your little one asks you how babies are made? Do you “oomph” and “ah” wondering how best to answer their query? Not anymore. Just get a how-are-babies-made watch. And the next time your kid’s curiosity is piqued, just show him your wrist watch which sports the “fertilization watch.” Explain patiently to him that the little sperm showing the minutes and hours is inexorably moving forth to fertilize the central ovule. And that’s how babies are born on time! This amazingly ingenious watch has been designed by Andy Kurovets. This is indeed a “shock therapy” designed by him. This unique design is made available to the world by YankoDesign, a web magazine which is dedicated to introducing to the world the best modern international designs, ranging from industrial designs, technology, interior design, and lots more. It’s a refreshing mix between the new and the rediscovered. This fertilization concept patch has an interesting face and three hands that represent different sperms. It is self explanatory as the children glean from the watch that the little sperms showing the minutes and hours is moving forth to fertilize the central ovule. As the very name implies, the designer Andy Kurovat has ingeniously reconstructed the moments of human fertilization on a watch. A huge egg is placed at the center of the watch face. Three sperms, representing minutes and hours are heading towards the egg. Evidently, one of them has pricked the egg shell and it is the luckiest among millions. Assuage your youngster’s animosity by getting him a fertilization concept watch. This makes it easy for you to educate your youngsters on the facts of life. With so many ingenious ways to pique one’s imagination, highly commendable is the designer Andy Kurovat's conceptualization, and design, to create a watch that teaches youngsters not only the value of time, but also, a device that explains in a subtle manner, the moments of human fertilization or more aptly, the moments of creation. It has an attractive face and sperms signifying the human sperm at the earlier phase of fertilization, well on its way to uniting with the egg at the center, to create and add to the human race. Hats off to Andy Kurovat for this ingenious device! This watch signifies too that every human being comes in to this world, at the designated time. Time plays a vital role in all our lives and it is too precious to be squandered. Amazing, isn't it?

However, I am also of the opinion that the rug will make an excellent prop to create the ‘thrill’ factor when you are watching alien movies. By any chance, do you plan to watch ET soon? Source 1

Geometric Rug

Geometric Rug is an outstanding creation by Elisa Storyzk. However, when it comes to the core function of the rug I doubt if it will be comfortable. Elisa has developed this design by using wood veneer and textile as a backing. I agree it is an incredible art that depicts a combination of hard surface and fluid movement. I don’t think it will find many buyers. Source 1

Giant Keyboard Rug

We have our individual computer related woes - some due to the monitor and others due to the keyboard. Focusing on those times, it gets bit irritating to use the small-sized keys. How does one solve the issue? Maybe you can use this Giant Keyboard Rug designed by Maurin Donneaud. I think it can be a great form of exercise for your feet too! Source 1

Star Wars Wampa Rug

This is an adorable and cozy rug you will love to have in your homes. Those who don’t know, Star Wars Wampa Rug is inspired from the sc-fi character itself. Thus, it includes snowy fur, curved horns, and a wide, toothy grin in its design. However, if you are a Star Wars fan, don’t think twice to get one - as this rug marks the 30th anniversary of the sci-fi sequel and so will be a great collectible.

Miles

Racing tracks and cars have been an inseparable part of our childhoods. Wouldn’t it be fabulous to get to enjoy the fun once more?

Colorful Keyboard Rug

Unlike the Giant Keyboard Rug, this rug design serves a single purpose. It doesn’t function like a keyboard but has a bright look. With two QWERTY keyboard designs on the rug, Colorful Keyboard Rug will be a cool home décor item for children. You can keep it for yourself or gift it to your friends. Source 1

Racoon Mario Rug

Playing Mario games was great fun as a child, but now with fabulous Mario collectibles available you get a chance to relive those days! One such Mario collectible is Racoon Mario Rug. It took 15 days in all, for the creator to make this rug out of 360 separate squares. Without any doubt, a lot of hard work goes inside to make it look wonderful!

Pac-Man Rug

The next time you are set to play Pacman game, you might have to use your feet. Wouldn’t it be great? Don’t be shocked as I am talking about this artistic Pac-Man Rug made in Portugal using 100% wool. Though it is expensive, I m sure even a 30 year-old will enjoy playing it. Source 1

NES Controller Rug

Are you a game freak and does Nintendo increase your excitement? If yes, add this NES Controller Rug in your list of home decor items. Made out of silky soft yarn, this rug is perfect for a person who spends hours playing PlayStation games. Source 1

Space Invaders Rug

Turkish Rugs have been popular all over the world. But do you know how you could make it more creative? Use the rug as a background for playing Space Invaders through PS2. Exciting, isn’t it? Take a look at this amazing Space Invaders Rug by Polish artist Janek Simon and you will understand what I intend to say. Source 1

Scrabble Rug

What do you generally do in your leisure time? I love to play Scrabble. In fact, I have been eyeing this Scrabble Rug since a long time. The only deterrent is its size. It’s too huge for a small room but definitely looks incredible (at least if you are a scrabble fan). Source 1

Monster Pelt Rug

I don’t know what was on Joshua Ben Longo’s mind when he was up to designing this Monster Pelt Rug. First, it doesn’t look monstrous from any angle. In fact, I am wondering how it will help me decorate my room. I had rather loved to see some design based on petals. Source 1

A Cool Vacuum Cleaner for Non-Domestic Purposes

admin — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 16:43:18 +0000

There are any number and varieties of vacuum cleaners available everywhere. But most of them are for homes or office purposes. Have you heard of a specific vacuum cleaner that can be used in cleaning public spaces? Then Dust ball is the one to look out for. It is a robot vacuum cleaner, specifically designed for use in public spaces.Dust ball is strong, industrial and highly flexible enough to go over thresholds and cables. But it does not have an industrial appearance. Neither does it look like a typical robot. Dave Hakkens, who designed Dust ball, was inspired by a basketball, while designing it. It’s like a little buddy hat you can just roll around, push or kick in any direction you need, to clean up that space. You just need to kick it around while you clean, and you can have loads of fun too. Dust ball resembles a tiny ball, but don’t be deceived- it can do loads of cleaning for you. The Dust ball just rolls on while absorbing dust and debris lying in its way. And how does it roll? There are two axes inside that helps it to move in any direction. When the ball is full of debris and dirt, it goes back to its original position and glows brightly. The Dust ball moves easily over any obstacle in its path. Magnets turn on and off to open it. Finally, it empties its content of debris and rests in its docking station to get charged. The Dust ball can be charged easily using wireless charging. Air blows out of its corners effectively to remove dust. By moving its weight around, the dust ball navigates too. You can easily mistake Dust ball for a child’s ball lying around. The motor fixed inside the robotic Dust ball doubles up as a dustbin and drives the ball effectively by rotating on two axes to generate enough leeway and power to move. When the ball is full of dust and grime, it returns to its starting point and glows bright. The Dust ball rolls about rooms and public spaces freely since it is well equipped with an internal motor that constantly shifts its centre of gravity. This awesome concept of a vacuum cleaner shaped like a ball, was conceived and designed by a Dutch engineer Dave Hakkens. Resembling a hamster ball or even a pollen grain, it can be pushed or kicked in any direction to clean. Dave Hakkens opines that he wanted Dust ball to be tough but also friendly looking. It can be used effectively in large spaces with obstacles or impediments in its path, like cables, door thresholds and walls- for instance public spaces like the airport. If Dust ball rolls near your feet, give it a friendly shove with your feet and set it off rolling again. Cleanwave and Hi Tech Vacuum Cleaners are other cool gadgets that you can use for maintaining hygiene in homes.

How to Make a Perfect Cup of Tea

admin — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:34:16 +0000

There’s nothing like a cup of tea to rev and cheer you up any time. Very few people know how to make the perfect cup of tea and what it tastes like precisely. Callum Kenny, the designer who has conceived and created the “Perfect Cup” opines that around sixty four million cups of tea are savored and dunk every twenty four hours. But how much of care and attention ever goes into the making of all of those numerous cups of tea? It’s truly mind boggling to realize that not much care and effort is put into making this cup of tea that cheers you up endlessly, any time. According to Kenny, four parts are essential to making a perfect cup of tea- the glass carafe, three glass temperature bulbs, the tea caddy and of course, the filter. All the above have been incorporated into his design of the” Perfect Cup.” Kenny has utilized the principles of the Galileo thermometer wherein, each bulb displays the optimum brewing temperature. And each of the three bulbs works to display a different temperature and the person using this “Perfect Cup” can opt for the correct bulb to make the kind of tea he would love to drink. Then the tea lover or user collects his loose tea leaves, measures it from a tea caddy into a filter and observes the changing color of the water in the carafe. The water appropriately darkens to the taste and liking of the tea user and he can remove the filter and enjoy his lovely cup of tea. Callum Kenny’s research reveals the fact that both water temperature and brew time affects the flavor of the tea. Any mistakes in these aspects and you are left with a bitter tasting cup of tea. Callum finds infinite pleasure in brewing that perfect cup of tea. He opines that we need to rediscover for ourselves that drinking tea is indeed pleasurable and not just a habit or convenience. Callum Kenny is an open minded designer who prefers to opt for creative and elegant solutions rather than resorting to just electronic methods. Use this amazingly creative yet scientific device to brighten up, cheer and rejuvenate yourself and your friends on cold winter evenings, sipping on those perfectly concocted cups of hot and sweet tea. Tea would always remain eternally as the cup that cheers. This an awesome start for a Monday morning! What do you think about Geeky Tea Infuser Design and the Sorapot?

Warm and cozy, these slippers promise to keep your feet warm for hours. Around 15,000 years ago, drawings made in caves, in Spain, have depicted humans with their feet covered in fur or skin of animals. Also, ice men used to wrap their feet in leather with straw stuffed into it. But not to deny, Hammacher Schlemmer has definitely beat the early men’s imagination by adopting simple technology into providing the same comfort. Moreover, these are very different from the normal heated slippers that are placed in the microwave, since they keep the feet warm only for an hour. The Lady’s Rechargeable Heated Slippers guarantee warmth for the feet for up to half a dozen of hours.

The batteries can be charged in five hours using a dual AC adapter. It is indeed a blessing and a lot of fun to experience the winter season. The fall of pure white flakes of snow, from the heaven above, is a treat for the naked eye. But slippers to keep you warm are inevitable even when indoors. Insulation, protection and comfort are the three prime reasons for a don of those slippers. The forefoot area of Hammacher’s slippers is based with a fiber heating element of stainless steel, like the ones used in car seats that are heated. This element helps in keeping up a steady temperature and thus lengthens the battery life. The outer fabric constitutes completely of nylon taffeta and cuffed elastic is provided at the mouth to obstruct the cold. Ribbed rubber covers the sole on the outer side which will help the user gain good grip while moving around in the outdoors or indoors. Unresisting for a wash in the machine, the light beige colored slippers come in small, medium, large or XL sizes at the rate of $99.95.

The iDration Bottle Tells You When You are Thirsty

admin — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 15:34:21 +0000

Who would have thought that a bond of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms would end up playing such a vital role in our lives? H2O aka water, has become such an inevitable factor of our lives and the prime chemical element in our body, that it does earmark a lifestyle at its pink! The folks belonging to the team of the Cambridge Consultants, realizing the importance of water have brought out an exclusive water bottle that will let you know when your body needs water. Known as the iDration bottle, it will tell you that you are thirsty even before you realize it for yourself. When every system in our body depends on water, it is mandatory that there is a regular intake of water every now and then. But like lack of water would lead to dehydration, excess of water intake is equally not advisable especially for athletes. Hence, drinking the right amount of water at the right time is essential. The iDration bottle will irrefutably help you with that particularly because the right amount of water required will differ from person to person. You can now stop relying on your thirst feelings to realize that you need to drink water. Technology has come as far as to telling you the right time to quench your thirst. The iDration bottle functions through communication with a smart phone using the Bluetooth technology. The bottle is capable of gauging by itself the surrounding temperature, the amount of water consumed by the user from the bottle and also the amount of times the bottle has been toppled over for a gulp. Added to this, smart phones these days have brilliant competence considering the applications that run on them. One such application called the accelerometer will assess the rate at which the user moves and the gyroscope too will help in measuring other exercise levels. Using these data and the prerecorded information on the phone, such as height, weight, age etc. of the user, coupled along with heart rate measured from a chest strap included, it can be ultimately determined that the user needs a water break. Thus, the bottle alerts the user through the flash of a blue light contained in it. Currently under development, the consultants will be showing off the design, termed as a hardware application, in the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011. So, time for water breaks are fast approaching! Gulp!

Modern Meets East Asia in This Unique Ceiling Lamp

admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:34:26 +0000

A lamp that is exquisite, beautiful, smart, and perfect for any interior environment. A lamp which has a quirky class about it that compliments your refined taste in things; rarely do we find lamps that have so much work and ingenuity gone into it to make it absolutely unique and set it apart from the rest. The design of this lamp draws from the exotic Eastern Culture and is based on wooden keystone. The hint of “Orientalism” and the lovely elements of design in this piece are simply divine and intriguing. The shape and the basic blueprint of the structure have been inspired by the unfussiness of Japanese packaging and other elements like good ol’ lanterns and parasols. That being said about its splendor, there is also much cleverness that has resulted in the end product. This lamp allows the possibility of light intensity modulation. This lets you have enough light for when you meet your friends under it and also make it emit a soft glow for when you are sitting back enjoying some chamber pieces. Spectacular, isn’t it? All of this is the brainchild of Martin Bahrij. The shade contains not just the bulb but also the various cables and joints. The whole composition is held up in place by the cord that helps you turn the lamp on or off, and its strategic placement between the keystone and the bulb. Fastened to the wooden keystone are also sixteen arms, each with a wooden tip at the end, giving the lamp a nice, chandelier-like look. The lantern itself is made of timber terminals. While changing the arrangement for bringing about adjustments in the light intensity, the position of the lampshade has to be changed and these alterations are held in place by the connector. The connector is essentially a little wooden rectangular block with two holes driven into it. Now to increase the illumination in the area, open up the lamp so the light can spread out. If you prefer a dim ambience, then close it. Much like an umbrella! The more it shrivels, the dimmer the atmosphere gets. The lamp emits a warm, welcoming lighting that is absolutely trendy as well as chic. Regardless of your style of décor, it is sure to blend in with it! Unlike many other lamps, this one does not just remain a showpiece but becomes a utility that is pleasing and understated or the focus of attraction. As you like it. Looks like Parachute! But it is indeed amazing. If you have liked this, make sure you also take a look at the Giant Lava Lamps and Huey Lamps.

Shinjugai Concept: The Oyster Inspired LED Watch

admin — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 17:34:30 +0000

They say time changes everything! Well, anyhow, time has now changed the way devices tell time. It is all about fusing technologies in a way no one would ever think of, just to create a new style. Tokyoflash Product Design Studio has a new kid on its blog! Known for showcasing products which stand out and are way different from anything seen ever, the latest is the Shinjugai LED watch.Patrick from France considers time so precious, that he has designed the watch in a way that the time is masked by the watch’s wrist band, similar to how a shell conceals a pearl. The term ‘Shinjugai’ in Japanese translates into ‘shell that makes a pearl.’ The designer has incorporated the LED technology into the watch and thus the LED lights will tell you the time. While the laboratories were developing the LED light technology way back in early 1900s, little would they have known that this same technology would be integrated into a watch to tell time ! The concept submitted by Patrick is superlative and can be used by both men and women. The watch is designed in a shape resembling a shell and the time is released as the watch opens up when its top is touched. Like an oyster that shows its pearls, a slight push of your finger on the watch’s top will cause it to open and activate the LED. Even if your hand is occupied you can use or cheek or hip to trigger the watch to open. Nevertheless, the watch has been provided with a button on the side, which when pushed once will set off the top to open. This one single button has three functions. One push enables the time function, two pushes will activate the date function, and the watch will tell us the day of the week, when the button is pushed three times. There are LEDs for displaying the hour, month, minute, date and the day of the week. In an era, when the wrist watch has become something more than a device that simply tells the time, the Shinjugai concept definitely will contribute is raising the watch as a fashion accessory. The shape in which the watch is designed is highly attractive in itself. The strap has superior adjustment mechanism with a locking system and thus can fit a wrist of any size. Smooth, fashionable, sleek and stylish, best describes the Shinjugai LED watch. The technology and elan with which these watches are designed is just too brilliant! I have also liked other variations such as 'How are babies made' Watch, Nanowatch and 8 Bit Watch.

24 Weird Coffin Designs

admin — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 08:31:06 +0000

It’s odd to see that these coffins exist because it would seem almost cruel to bury a loved one in these coffins, unless you know for sure that they have a geeky sense of humor. Buying one for yourself is also an odd thing to do, for some of these coffins will be outdated quickly. There are other coffins, however, that nod to older geek material and will probably not outdate, in which case it is acceptable to want to be buried in one of these coffins. Perhaps one day, being buried in these kinds of coffins will be the norm. It will definitely be and interesting experience for archeologist millions of years down the road. Whether you want to actually use these coffins or simply appreciate the fact that they exist here are 25 weird coffins that are on the market.

iPhone, Apple, and Nintendo.

The first four coffin images are photoshopped, but they are an accurate representation of the coffins you can order. Apple took their marketing to the afterlife. They believe that people might actually love their iPhones so much that people will actually want to be buried in them. The second coffin isn’t as extreme as the iPhone because, for someone who doesn’t recognize it, it can be pulled off as a pretty design. This coffin works for more than just Apple fans. Contrasting the second coffin, the third is made specifically for Apple. There is no escaping the fact that this is the Apple logo. I imagine this coffin being perfect for life long Apple employees. The fourth coffin is both simultaneously amazing and disturbing. Of course, having an old gaming system is always a great way to show the type of life you lived. It’s an honor to be buried in a Super Nintendo. I’m not too excited about the “eject” slot used for where the corpse is to be “inserted”.

XBox Coffin

Moving away from the morbid and more toward the geek, this coffin is for a gaming system rather than a corpse. This coffin will probably be getting more sales than others, especially since dealing with death is something humans shy away from. This is basically a coffin for your no-longer-functioning X-boxes.

Star Trek

This is another classic fan based coffin that will not get old. This is another classic fan based coffin that will not get old. This is made specifically for Star Trek fans, but could also be used by the common day person, because there is nothing that particularly stands out about it if you are not familiar with the show. To them, it is just another coffin.

Grand Theft Auto

If you loved the game Grand Theft Auto, then this coffin is perfect for you. It seems fitting because a large portion of the game is killing people. Source.

Suspiciously Large Bag

Need a bad to stash the body? This bag shaped coffin is perfect for that! Of course, realistically it wouldn’t work, but this coffin is definitely an interesting concept added to the coffin market.

Death of a Mermaid

This particular coffin would be perfect for four types of people: people who like things to be interesting, people who love mythical creatures, people who love the sea, and people who love art. It could also be an alternative way to be buried for those who want to be “buried at sea”

Very Large Guitar

The above coffin was for the artist, this coffin is for the musician. The over-sized guitar is perfect for someone who has devoted their life to music. It’s quite poetic in a way, similar to an Apple employee being buried in the Apple coffin.

Cricket Lovers Coffin

This is another bag based design except it has added touches for those cricket lovers. This coffin comes complete with a cricket ball and knocked down wickets.

Wine Casket

I’m not sure who would want to be buried in this wine-casket coffin; I imagine wine-lovers to be to refined for something like this, but the option is there for those who are interested.

Beer

Another drinking related coffin is this Blue Ribbin beer coffin. Do you love beer this much? Source.

Coca-Cola

If you’re not a beer drinker there is also this Coke option! Source.

Dr. Who TARDIS

Some people really get into their TV shows, so much so that they would want to bring it with them to the grave. This Dr. Who TARDIS coffin allows people to quite literally do just that. Source.

Halo

Here’s more fan-based-video-game fun: a Halo coffin for those who just loved the game that much. Source.

Coffin Shaped Cigarette Box

This is a new tactic in reminding people that smoking is harmful for you. Source.

Car Coffin Hybrid

I don’t really have much to say about this one. It looks more like a coffin with wheels than a car. This coffin is perhaps the most unsettling of the ones we’ve seen so far. Source.

Jaws Shark

This is another one of those ocean lover coffins. At least we’re back to getting interesting with these designs, this definitely does not look like a coffin. Source.

Car Engine Coffin Hybrid

This is definitely a more interesting take on making a coffin car hybrid. Source.

Boat Coffin

Contrast to the car attempts we’ve seen so far, this boat coffin actually resembles a boat. If you spent your life sailing, it would be nice to be buried in this.

Old Fashion Car Coffin

Here is a more successful car design for a coffin, and is based on a very old car design.

Canal Boat

This man is currently painting a canal boat coffin- a more elegant alternative to the boat.

Skiing Coffin

I’m not sure I’m too fond of the fact that this coffin allows for the corpse ‘s feet to be shown, though the concept is interesting. Source.

Yuxa: The Eco-Friendly Cell Phone

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:20:20 +0000

From Blackberrys to iPhones, technology and phones in particular have come a long way and are now such an indispensable part of life so much so that it’s almost like being in a relationship! The ‘Yuxa' cell phone concept is no exception and even goes a step further to create a wonderful merging of two worlds – fashion and technology. The 'Yuxa' is a cell phone concept, just like the ZNK 2010, that is the brain child of the very talented designer Veronica Eugenia Rodriguez Ortiz who was in all probability inspired by the legendary ‘Yuxa’ or Sly Snake itself, which would explain the almost snake like appearance of the cell phone. What distinguishes the Yuxa from other cell phones is that the Yuxa is a wearable phone and looks nothing like a phone but resembles a bracelet or a watch and is meant to be worn around the user’s wrist. Also, unlike other phones which uses sounds to call and text, this cell phone uses vibrations as a means to communicate and you can call or message others by sending vibrations. It also supports Bluetooth technology and is made from ecological materials like plant fibers and bio degradable plastic, so you can do the environment a big favor while still looking absolutely stylish. This eco-friendly gadget also features an OLED display and a rechargeable battery that flattens its shape with the wrist movement of the user.

Hacoa Play Mouse

admin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 10:37:57 +0000

When the world is facing the problem of pollution, devices like the Hacoa Play Mouse offer an eco-friendly alternative. The Hacoa Play Mouse is an exceptional optical mouse built from natural wood available in light maple or darker walnut color options. Surprisingly, its seamless operating buttons and scroll wheel are also carved out of wood to offer smooth functioning. This organic mouse in minimalist design is the creation of Japanese designers. It employs Solid wood technology and brand Alive recherché workmanship. Just like any other mouse, the Hacoa Play Mouse is also very convenient to use as its cord just needs to be plugged in the system’s USB port. The red optical glow assures the power supply into the mouse. It is compatible with both Mac and PC but requires Windows Vista/XP/Me/2000; Mac OSX 10.3.9 and above OS to work. I would like to point out that as making of this mouse requires natural wood, so devices like this mouse would promote deforestation. Anyway, if you want to buy this Hacoa Play Mouse, you will have to shell out US$ 189. Those of you who follow the slogan “Don’t be mean, be green”, would also like to have a look at the Eco-Friendly Cell Phone and A Recycled 6 pack Flower Vase.

Digital Photo Mug Lets You Bring Your Pictures With You

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:27:18 +0000

Just about every piece of electronics equipment can store photos and other images these days. Your phone, iPod, USB Flash drive, you name it and you can probably put pictures on it. I bet that none of these devices can prominently display your favorite pictures while also holding some steaming hot coffee at the same time, however. Thankfully, this digital photo mug is here to fill that niche.

This special little mug comes with a removable photo frame that lets you store and display up to 45 digital photos at any given time. I don't know about you, but I think it would be awesome to take your favorite landscape photos so that you have something to dream about while you are stuck at the office. Alternatively, you can wow all of your friends and coworkers with your new beach body pictures from Costa Rica. Whatever purpose you decide to employ your mug for, you can take comfort knowing that both your caffeine and photo needs are taken care of. It helps that the price is reasonable, too, clocking in at $24.99.

The travel mug has a 1.5" LCD screen and includes a USB cable for easy picture-to-mug transfers. The software is also plug-n-play, so no need to worry about compatibility issues. Best of all, it is totally dishwasher safe! Although I would be a little worried about testing that theory myself. If you are looking for other hot beverage delivery systems, you might want to try this Utilitea Variable Temperature Kettle. That handy little gadget is happy to deliver your tea to you every morning at the absolute perfect temperature. Alternatively, if you just want to round out your favorite coffee mug collection, you can checkout these 21 Geeky Mug Designs. There is something for everyone!

Sanrio has now made this photo frame available internationally through JapanTrendShop, a store front you are likely familiar with if you have bought gadgetry or toys from Japan before. Our favorite feline outlines the shape of the frame, and naturally it woudn't be complete without the red ribbon to accompany her as well. It will be hard to miss, too, considering how bright and flashy this accessory is. Your photos will display in a slide show format on the 3.5 inch TFT LCD screen. The frame itself runs 13.5 x 12 x 1cm and is made from metal and ABS. The frame also comes equipped with an AC adapter and USB cable for easy transfer of your photos, and the frame supportes JPEG and RGB-JPEG formats. What's not to like, right?

Solar Pegasus Helps Mythical Beasts Go Green

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:23:22 +0000

It seems odd to think that a pegasus would need to take the environment into consideration. I mean, flying mythical creatures can't have that much of an environmental impact...or can they? With this solar pegasus, you can watch your favorite flying horse zoom through the air or make him a bit more everyday as a carriage beast of burden. Either way he is powered by the sun, so that has to count for something in my book. Looking over the models, the pegasus won't exactly be flying through the air like a bird. Instead he'll be tethered to his solar powered platform, but no to worry. Pegasus can be setup under three distinctly different arrangements. You can set him up as the classic pegass flying through the sky, a circus horse riding endlessly in circles to the entertainment of kiddies and people too scared for the roller coasters, or you can turn his solar powered platform into a carriage horse happy to take people on a tour of major metropolitan areas. The best part? The choice is entirely up to you, and the model appears to pull them all off in a reasonable fashion. This also segways nicely into an afternoon with the kids, as this pegasus is a build-it-yourself model. You can help the little ones get some work in with their hands and hopefully end up with a very cool toy as a result. Such versatility doesn't come cheap though, as this solar powered horse clocks in at $56. Shipping will tack on an extra $19. If you are looking for some other animal fun, I can point you in the direction of the classic My Little Pony done as an art collectors delight. You can also peek at the dark side of taking a bath with these six tiny colorful devil duckies.

Index Chopping Board Set Puts Your Kitchen in Order

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:23:21 +0000

If your daily diet consists of something other than the local ramen noodle cup or some pre-packaged chicken nuggets, chances are you have probably needed to use a cutting board at some point. Depending on the complexity of the dish you are preparing, you may need more than one, and you don't want to be cutting up those carrots on the same board you just had some raw poultry on, do you? Of course not! Thankfully, some intuitive individuals have come up with a new system that will organize your cutting boards in such a way that will prevent cross contamination. Behold, the Index Chopping Board Set. I didn't know that there were awards out there for kitchen organizing gadgetry, but according to the manufacturer, the Index has won a number of them. The whole set is comprised of a stylish storage case along with four color-coded boards. They are staggered for your convenience, and even if you are color blind you can identify the boards by the cartoonish looking icons on each tab. This allows you to safely prepare most foods, including vegetables, fish, raw meat, or already cooked foods separately without the need to buy additional boards. They are also, as you might expect, dishwasher safe. At a price of $65.00, you are paying a bit of a premium compared to other cutting boards, but that doesn't make them any less cool looking. When it comes to kitchen gadgetry, you really don't have a reason to limit yourself to just cool cutting boards. You may as well improve your spatula system as well, so have a peek at this Click n Cook Modular Spatula system. If you are a long time cook, you probably need to measure ingredients every so often, right? Well then, you can pick up one of these 13 Weighing Machines that can help you out in the kitchen.

Pink OtterBox Case Combines Cuteness With Strength

admin — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:07:59 +0000

I have plenty of friends who swear by their Otter box Cases, and I have always been at a bit of a loss to explain why. It seems that as far as phone cases go, they are the cream of the crop. You just can't do better than an Otterbox, but you have to be willing to lighten up the purse strings. You can see the quality in this Pink Strength Case, for sure, and some of the money will go to a good cause as well. As you can see, these cases are very pink. They can be fitted to a variety of models, including the Blackberry Pearl, Torch, Curve, and Bold. At a price of $34.95 a pop, they lean toward the high end part of the phone case market, but you really do get what you pay for. otterboxes are renowned for their abiltiy to provide great protection for your phone while still keeping it easily accessible. 10 percent of your purchase will also be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which means you get a rockingly cute phone case and help take down a devistating disease. All in a day's work for your average smartphone owner. If you don't want to shell out the dough for this particular phone case, or if you are looking for something a little less flashy, we have featured a few here on Gadgether. If you happen to be a math Wiz, you can likely appreciate these GeoMetric Covers for the iPhone 4. If water is your thing, have a look at this Transparent Aqua TouchScreen Mobile Phone. Bizarre looking if you ask me, but very cool. I bet it would still work under water, though, which is a feature that would make for great marketing if not practicality.

Bandai Cook Joy Pack Sand Maker Turns Cooking into Art

admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:48:47 +0000

I have never been one of those people that dives into the art of cooking. I enjoy it when a meal of mine turns out to be delicious, but I simply can't conjure up the same passion that I see 24 hours a day on the Food Network. Still, sometimes cooking can be fun, and this Bandai Cook Joy Pack will go a long way in turning a regular old batch of cookies or sandwiches into an interactive learning experience. The process here is fairly straightforward. First, put together a batch of cookies or sandwiches, then choose the mold you would like to use. Roll the mold over the ingredients and ta da! You have a fun face-shaped cookie. The set comes with an elaborate number of molds, including an apple, hearts, bear face, a smiling face, and a winking face. It also includes a roller for easy application of the mold of your choice. Unfortunately, an afternoon of cooking with cute molds does not come cheap, and the joy pack will set you back $64 USD, with an additional $21 tacked on for the shipping and handling costs. That little piggy mold is just cute enough for me to actually consider picking it up. The smiling apple mold comes in at a close second. If you are in the market for other fun ways to make yourself some food, we have you covered here at Gadgether. This Toast Strips Stamper, for example, can help create an artistically garnished dish at the breakfast table. If you want a little less cuteness and a lot more kick ass food, then pick up these Ninja Man Cookie Cutters. Can you take on the stealthy hordes of ninja cookies? I would love to see you try!

Solar Fan Provides Your Phone With Emergency Power

admin — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:48:48 +0000

If you have ever watched a bad horror movie in recent years, it's likely that you recall a scene where someone attempts to call for help on their cell phone only to find out that their battery just died. It probably didn't end well for them, but it can for you, thanks to this Solar Fan Solar Charger. The design may be quirky, but you won't be saying that when you harness the sun as your back up power source. As you might expect, the Solar Fan is a high end electronics accessory that folds out easily into the charging position. No matter which pattern you decide to lay it out in, you can charge up enough juice fron the sun in 10 minutes to provide your phone with three minutes' talking time. I would have to believe this depends on the model of your phone, however, as newer smart phones tend to need more juice than your smaller and simpler counterparts. Still, the Solar Fan can connect directly to a number of different mobile headsets, and it comes with everything you'll need to have your own portable power plant. The fan only weighs about 186g, and the charger output is DC5V. It also includes the cable, USB cable, AC adapter, pouch, tripod, charger, and two AA batteries. Of course at a price of $405 USD and an additional $23 in shopping costs, they should throw in everything but the kitchen sink. If you happen to be a big fan of solar technology like I am, consider some other sun-powered gadgetry here on Gadgether. You can plug in your calculations on the go with this Ultra-Thin Solar Soft Bean Calculator, for example. Alternatively, you might be thinking a little bigger with this Solar-Powered Fridge that was invested by a British Student. I would love to see one of those in action.

Baby Bidou MP3 Player Puts Music in a Teddy

admin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:48:49 +0000

Music, along with just about every other media, is always at our fingertips these days. Just about every electronic device we have now can also play music, so why not bring that accessibility to your child as well? Now you can, thanks to the Baby Bidou MP3 Player. This isn't your old Fisher Price tape recorder, but a Teddy bear shaped mp3 player designed for kids ages zero and up. I am not sure why you would want it for an age zero baby, but the recommendation is there. These little Teddy Tunes-A-Lots can hold up to 32 hours of music. Since they are meant to be around infants, the construction is solid and durable. No matter how much they want to smash and throw this little teddy, he will keep on trucking with the tunes. It supports MP3, WAV, and WMA formats, and parents are able to disable certain buttons such as, say, volume control. Your little toddler can try to bring the roof down with a maxxed out volume level, but the teddy will keep him or her in check. Everything you need to get started is included, such as the USB cable and battery compartment with screws. You will need 2 AA batteries to power these bad boys. There is even a sleep timer function on the bear for playing a lullaby at bed time. Nice, right? Well all this functionality doesn't come without a price, and that price is $59.99 If a teddy bear mp3 player isn't your style, you can provide your kid with some musical entertainment even if they are still in the womb thanks to the RITMO Prenatal Musical System. That thing looks like serious business. If you want your kid to be the next Paul Oakenfold, then pick them up a USB DJ Mix Turntable speaker. All the fun of being a DJ in the palm of their tiny little hands.

Hello Kitty Stereo Earphones Give You Cat Ears

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:48:50 +0000

Being of the most iconic characters in Japan, Hello Kitty is just about everywhere. If you're a fan, and you were thinking of incorporating Hello Kitty into your musical gear, too, then these Hello Kitty Earphones are the perfect opportunity to do so. The four distinctly different designs should satisfy any musical headphone needs you might have. Each design is an easily recognizable Hello Kitty character on the buds, featuring the kitty figure with whiskers and ribbons. The cords and plug are also color coordinated along with the earphone design, so you can tell they went the extra mile with these! The plugs are 3.5 mm mini plug headphones, the same connection you'll find on iPods and other mp3 players. Your color options are White and Red, White and Pink, White and Purple, and Pink and Black. Personally, I think the classic White and Red design fits the headphones the best, but you are more than welcome to disagree with me and go with something else. Such detail comes with a price, though, and that price is $43 USD. You will also have to tack on another $15 for shipping. If you don't think you want to empty your wallet or purse for such a little piece of electronics, you have other Hello Kitty schwag options as well. You can put your cellphone in Hello Kitty's little paws with this Sanrio Character Stand, for example. If you play the guitar, this Hello Kitty Faceplate can be there and rock out right along with you. That is if you can get our hands on one, as each one is completely customized to suit your owners needs. Hello Kitty is very selective about who she plays with, you know?

Magic Music Monkey Dances Along With You

admin — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:48:51 +0000

Plain old USB speakers really just aren't any fun. What you need is something that can appreciate your music as much as you do. Something along the lines of, say, a dancing primate. That's right, this Magic Music Monkey easily connects to your USB port and will happily jam right along with you while he shakes his groove thang. I will admit, however, that he would probably be suited to happier music, and not the latest song from the Fray. Thankfully, this little guy has a built in speaker. It may look like he's wearing headphones, but don't be fooled. You will be able to hear the music just as well as he can! He also comes equipped with a lengthy USB cord measuring 94cm. The audio cord runs 100cm. You will also need to employ the energizer bunny as the monkey needs AA batteries. For this pricey toy, clocking in at $84 USD, you would think they could cough up 2 little batteries. Alas, that is not the case, so head to your local electronics store in advance. Come to think of it, that would make for a great Energizer commercial. A little battery powered bunny helping to get a music monkey up and running? What enterprising consumer wouldn't love to see that? I should work in marketing. Then again, dancing monkeys aren't the only fun you can have with your USB port. We have featured a number if different USB powered devices. This Digital Photo Mug lets you share your best pictures with all of your co workers, for example. If you don't feeling away from nature, then setup this handy little USB aquarium. Your office may or may not let you setup your own fish tank at your desk, though.

SolidAlliance Crazy Earphones Put Food in Your Ears

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:12:51 +0000

I never really considered the idea that there could be a lot of potential creativity when it comes to designing a pair of headphones. I mean, when you think about it, most ear pieces are pretty straight forward. Sure, they might have a design etched into them or have a flashy design, but most of them look pretty much the same. Well SolidAlliance has managed to take everything you know about earphones and throw them out the window with this Crazy Earphones series. Choose your favorite piece of fruit or random object from this set of seven and go nuts. The designers over at SolidAlliane have made some wacky little designs by taking very simple objects and cutting them in half. From a variety of food items like poneables and bananas to animal paws and screws, there is something here for everyone. The arrow going through the apple is my personal favorite, however. Each set of earphones comes with a 120cm cord length and wegh in at 15g. I hope you are really enjoying the novelty here, because they will set you back $46 USD with another $15 for shipping. I suppose that is midrange or so if you are really into your headphones. If you have a mind for something a bit more traditional, we have featured an array of earphones here at Gadgether. You can rock out with these large and in charge Mogul DJ Style headphones if you are into Trance/Electronica music. If you would prefer something that gets your music job done while also looking cute, consider these Matryoshka Doll Headphones. Just flat out adorable, if you ask me! I generally prefer the larger and beefier headphones myself, but to each his or her own as the case may be.

The Bomb Speakers Explode With Musical Goodness

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:56:25 +0000

Speakers have the ability to be as much of an expression of our personality as the music we listen to. Everyone has a certain shape, layout, or pattern they are comfortable with for their speakers, and this Bomb speaker design is no different. As the manufacturer states: "We left some duct tape, chocolate, and a paper clip alone in a room with MacGyver, and this was the result." If you are looking for some badass edgy speakers that are easy to transport, the Bomb is for you. As you can see, the Bomb comes in a wide array of color configurations. You can go with red and gray, pink and great, gray white or a number of other color layouts. Once detached and setup the Bomb can deliver crystal clear stereo sound along with some rocking bass. It can also connect to any media player via a 3.5mm input hack. You have two options to give the Bomb power, too, either three triple A batteries or a USB port. As you might expect, the batteries are not included. Still, the price is reasonable, clocking in at $39.99 USD. That's about what I would expect to pay for quality portable speakers, but you won't find them at your local electronics store. These bad boys are only purchasable online. Customers of the site appear to be happy with them too. Of the 3 unlucky reviews, all are positive. So maybe the Bomb is a little too explosive for your taste. If so, we have plenty of other speaker options here on Gadgether. iHome speakers have the convenience and portability in a different design, for example. You could also go smaller if portability is your emphasis with this Keychain Speaker. There is something for everyone, folks.

Aeropress Coffeemaker Promises Your Best Cup of Coffee Ever

admin — Sun, 01 May 2011 15:56:26 +0000

Ever since I bought myself a Keurig single serve coffee maker, I had decided that the world of coffee making had reached its peak. With that said, I am admittedly curious about this Aeropress Coffee Maker, which makes a big promise of providing the best single cup of coffee..well..ever. Aeropress has some big shoes to fill. As big food chais like Mcdonald's have found out, coffee is serious business both here in the United States as well as abroad. Yet people are also sticklers for what types of coffee they like to drink. Outside substances and contaminants like chlorgenic acids, trigonellie, and furfuryl alcohol lead to a more bitter taste that can irritate your taste buds. So, the folks over at Aerobie decided they could improve on the brewing process by providing a flavorful, non-bitter cup of joe. Critics have praised the little machine as much as much more expensive counterparts, and the price range of $2.99-$25.99 won't break your bank. Ready to get started? All you need to do is place a micro filter at the bottom of the Aeropress, then place it over your favorite mug of coffee. Add in a measured scoop of coffee into the "brewing chamber." Throw in some hot water, press down the plunger, and once it gets to the bottom ... ta da! You will hopefully have the best cup of coffee ever. If you are looking for new places to put your coffee, I can suggest a few. You can load up your coffee and your favorite photos with this Digital Photo Mug, or choose from one of these 21 Geeky Mug Designs. They run the gambit in terms of theme, so you are bound to find something you like!

Brain Salt and Pepper Shakers Provide Zombies With Seasoning

admin — Wed, 04 May 2011 15:56:27 +0000

I have always wondered whether zombies retain some of their finicky taste buds once they are converted into one of the mindless undead. Considering how they are generally shambling around in no particular direction and attacking anything that moves, I would lean toward no. If you're a discerning zombie who wants their brains to have the propper seasoning, then these brain salt and pepper shakers are for you. These two little brain halves are created from ceramic and measure 6.0 x 8.0 x5.2 cm. Most zombies may not appreciate the distinct flavor of properly salted human brains, but you aren't just any ordinary zombie! If you are worried about losing one of the two brain halves while chasing down the living, not to worry. The shakers come equipped with a magnetic clasp that helps to hold them together. This makes them easy to pull apart, but decreases the chances that you will lose your pepper hemisphere at the worst possible time. At a price of $9.99, it won't break your zombie bank, either. Do zombies use USD currency? I have no idea, but if so, the price is right. Besides, as the manufacturer points out, no zombie worth his salt would go without one of these sets! I agree, that pun is pretty painful, but you can't argue with the facts here. The brain salt and pepper shakers would also make a great gift for zombie themed events. If one of your friends were crazy enough to have an undead wedding like the one featured in our 18 Craziest and Most Bizarre Wedding Themes post, for example, this would be perfect! If you think that you would prefer your salt and pepper to come out of something that doesn't resemble an organ, consider these WMF Two-in One Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Cylinders.

GPS Child Locator Keeps Your Kids Safe

admin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:56:29 +0000

Given the number of kidnappings we read and hear about on the news, you would think every parent would be taking precautions to protect their children. While still exceedingly rare, sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry, and this GPS Child Locator from Brickhouse Security helps to place a seemingly innocuous watch on your child's wrist but can act as an accurate tracker in case something ever goes wrong or you lose your kid while he/she wanders around Disney World. This little watch still stick to its original functionality, and operates as a 12 hour or 24 hour digital watch. Getting your child to wear it all the time might be a bit of a hassle in the digital age, but it has a steel reinforced locking mechanism to prevent tampering. It is also constructed from Derma-label Hypoallergenic Plastic and Steel, so at the very least you shouldn't expect any adverse allergic reactions. It is water resistant, but you should probably shouldn't dunk it in water either. You can get updated location information via logging into the web or also via your cell phone. If you don't have a smart phone. you can just text "WRU" for location and date/time information. As you might expect, such technology doesn't come cheap. This little GPS locator watch clocks in at $199.95. Still, for what it does, that doesn't seem outrageous. If you're looking for other methods of protection, consider the Attack DVR, which produces a blinding light as well as a piercing noise. It also records video as well, just in case the worst happens. For something a little less serious, how about the Personal Baby Assistant, which helps you remember all the important details about your child's early life.

iPhone 4 Luxe Original Case Protects Your Smartphone In Style

admin — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:56:30 +0000

Smartphone cases are certainly nothing new, but it is always good to see case developers come out with a variety of case materials, styles, and themes to help cater to the wide number of different consumer tastes out there in the marketplace. This iPhone 4 Luxe Original case, for example, brings an "avant-garde, innovative, archetypal type of original" style to the table. The description may sound a bit dramatic, but it is hard to argue that the case doesn't look good. The Luxe Original is a two component case that looks like a metal facade but has a velvety feel to it. The result is a sleek look that is comfortable to the touch and provides your expensive smartphone with the protection from the elements it so desperately needs. This way, if you happen to drop your phone or scratch it, adequate protection can put your mind at ease. It is also AT&T and Verizon compatible so you can pick this little stylish accessory up no matter who your provider is.

Beauty Lift High Nose Gadget Raises it to the Best Position

admin — Tue, 10 May 2011 14:46:28 +0000

There are some gadgets that I look at and I am immediately hit with a sense of confusion. Looking over this Beauty Lift High Nose, the intent of the device is obvious. Sometimes, your nose just doesn't look like it is in the best spot on your face. Plastic surgery is always an option, but it is a long, expensive, painful process. The lift high claims to apply gentle electric vibrations fromt he bottom, side and front in order to help adjust the position of your nose. The recommended use time is 3 minutes per day in order to help your nose become firmer and higher. It is constructed from ABS, silicone, and steel, so at the very least you know this 25g device could also double up as a paperweight. It is powered by a lithium CR203 battery, and if you don't know what that is, not to worry, it is included with the lift high as well. As to the actual effectiveness of the product, your guess is as good as mine, but you would be encouraged to do your own due diligence first, as it comes at a steep price. At a price of $143 USD plus an additional $19 for shipping, you'll need some serious confidence in the device before pulling the trigger. If you are looking for other odd technologies out there that claim to help make your life easier, consider something like this Eye Massager to help you relax after a long day of staring at your computer screen. If you are in the mood for a professional hair washing but don't wanna head to the stylist, you can buy a hair-washing robot which can do just as good of a job as the real thing! No idea how cost effective that would end up being, however.

Reese's and Sugar Daddy Comfort Earphones Help You Relax

admin — Sun, 08 May 2011 12:56:41 +0000

Ever since I was a kid and began collecting Halloween candy, I have loved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Do to the realities of everyday life and the fact that I don't want to blow up like a balloon, I keep my actual consumption of those decadent treats to a minimum, but I miss them everyday. If you are in the same boat as I am, and you want a way to enjoy the power of Reese's without worrying about your waist line, then I present you with these Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Comfort Earphones. They are also available in Sugar Daddy Comfort Earphone format, too, if that is more to your liking. Ok, so maybe it isn't quite as good as actually consuming a Sugar Daddy or Peanut Butter Cup, but it is the next best thing! The ear buds are designed to be super comfortable, and if you focus your senses you'll get a hint of Peanut Butter Cup goodness. That is the stuff. Performance hasn't been left by the wayside either, with 95db sensitivity, a 1.2mm cord and a maximum power input of 10mW. I have no idea what much of that means, but it all sounds very impressive. At a price of $9.99 a pop, you can't beat that with a stick either, regardless of whether you choose peanut butter cups or the Sugar Daddy Earphones. Satisfaction is 100 percent guaranteed, so if you decide your Reese's earphones aren't everything you hoped for you can opt to send them back from whence they came. This isn't the first time that we have featured headphones that like to imitate food products. SolidAlliance came up with some Crazy Earphones based around a number of food items and other objects. We also gave our visitors the option of having one of the most iconic Japanese cartoons of all time on their ears as well with these Hello kitty Stereo Earphones.

Electronic Scrabble Takes the Classic Game Into the Digital Age

admin — Wed, 18 May 2011 11:41:50 +0000

There seems to be something archaic about playing a regular old board game anymore. You have to worry about setting up the board, organizing the letters, etc. In the end it "almost" seems to be more trouble than it is worth in the digital age of instant gratification. To help solve that problem, we have the electronic Scrabble game. It may not have the same flare as the original, but it definitely looks easier to setup and break back down again. As with the original game, your score is based on the letters and words you can create out of them. Throw some letters together, cry foul when you think someone made up a word, spend a few hours sifting through a dictionary, and you have a full night of fun for everyone. The electronic game hopes to minimize the arguing because the smartlink tiles, once connected, will register that a word has been created and add your score accordingly. There are three different variations of the game popping out of just 5 letter tiles. The game claims you can play with one or more players, but I can't imagine a solo Scrabble game could be all that compelling. At a price of $24.99, that seems just a tick over what you would pay for the original game. If you are looking to round out your gaming collection with some other items, a good number have been featured here on Gadgether. If you are a Tim Burton fan, you might enjoy a good poker night using these Nightmare Before Christmas Playing Cards. If you are a high class gamer, a regular old chess board simply won't cut the mustard. Instead you will want to pick up this Hammond Chess Set from Ralph Lauren, which utilizes nickel-plated metal for piees and a nickel board for your playing board. Throw in a leather case, and you have a serious game of chess going on.

The Rowbike: An Ingenious Way to Burn More Calories

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 13:39:17 +0000

Some items that we use everyday seem like they simply can't be improved upon. The bicycle, for all of its simple mechanical glory that manages to get us from point A to point B much faster than walking but under our own power, happens to be one of those things. Yet Hammacher Schlemmer shows us with this Rowbike that you can burn calories, enjoy the scenery, and stay on the move using the same functionality as a stationary rowing machine. The "apparatus," as the manufacturer calls it, provides a much more full-body exercise experience than what you might be used to with a more traditional bike. Interestingly, the rowbike was actually invented by the same person who came up with Rollerblade inline skates, Scott Olson. The concept is pretty straightforward, as the two-wheeled machine is propelled by rowing with the handlebar, which subsequently transfers the power to the rear wheel. The real attraction of a bike like this is that you're working just about every part of your body, with the bike engaging most of the major muscle groups. The bike is constructed from lightweight aluminum and the seat is padded and glides smoothly along the frame as you ride along. It will definitely take some adjustment if you are used to a traditional bike, but once you get the hang of it, you are sure to love it. The cost of the bike is high, but that's to be expected given the more complex machinery and solid frame. In total, you are looking at $1400. For other unconventional ways to bike, consider the Energysport, which manages to harness the power from your bike wheels and power various gadgets with it. If you have an old bike that you need to get rid of after picking up a row bike, you can make something like this gear crank wall clock to give it new life.

Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger Shirt Has Girl Power

admin — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:46:30 +0000

I can't help but feel old when I think about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It seems like only yesterday I came home from school to see our ridiculously costumed superheroes fighting in a flurry of sparks and bad special effects. The popularity of the show spawned a number of movies that shockingly made it to actual theatres. While the mainstream popularity of the show has died down a bit since its peak, there are still plenty of fans out there. For ladies, you don't get much better than this Pink Ranger Shirt, which appropriately states "I Make Boys Cry." The shirt is white and constructed from 100% cotton. If the measure of softness is important to you, the shirt clocks in at "Medium." Now you can harness all the power of the Mighty Pink Ranger in tee shirt format. The distressed design gives it a more rugged look, and reinforces the fact that yes, you do in fact make boys cry. I think it would make a great gift for any tomboys out there that like to show off their toughness. A couple more color options wouldn't go astray, though, especially considering that the shirt's price comes in at$24.00. That is a pretty high price for your average tee-shirt, so less than hardcore power ranger fans need not apply. If girls with serious firepower sounds like it'd be right up your alley, we can help you out here on Gadgether. This pink Gundam robot is decked out to the nines both with a huge gun as well as sparkling flare. You also can't get much tougher than a Hello Kitty Chainsaw, although why someone would create such a contraption is beyond me.

10 Must Have Items For Hello Kitty Fans

admin — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:46:31 +0000

Hello kitty has to be oneo ft he most iconic animated Japanese characters ever created. Despite the fact that I'm sure many fans of Hello Kitty have never actually seen it, there's just something so horribly and unavoidably cute about the character, which is probably why everyone you know is at least somewhat familiar with it. If you are one of those hardcore fans that love to cover yourself in Hello Kitty swag, here are 10 items that you should add to your collection.

Hello Kitty Headphones

These crafty little headphones let you take your Hello Kitty fandom wherever you want to go! Whether it is on the train, the bus, in the car, or out with friends, these cute little Hello Kitty headphones rock out. Customization is available with a variety of colors including White and Red, White and Pink, White and Purple, and Pink and Black.

Hello Kitty Digital Photo Frame

Take all of your favorite pictures and surround them with bright glittery Hello Kitty Goodness? Where do I sign up? This Hello Kitty Digital Photo Frame has your photos displayed in a slide show format on the 3.5 inch TFT LCD screen and comes equipped with an AC adapter and USB cable for easy transfer of your photos, and the frame supportes JPEG and RGB-JPEG formats.

Hello Kitty Cellphone Stand

Let the Hello Kitty Phone Stand give your phone a big warm hug thanks to the comfy polyester construction. It makes a perfect place for your smartphone when you come into work each day and have your favorite character there to greet you in the morning.

Hello Kitty Guitar Faceplate

Can you think of a better way to decorate musical instruments than a Hello Kitty custom made faceplate? I sure can't, which is exactly why it makes a great addition to any band. It would be particularly appropriate if you play at Japanese-themed events such as an anime convention. Rock on.

Hello Kitty Sewing Machine

Ok, so I will be the first to admit that I never picked up sewing, but there are still plenty of hobbyists and mothers out there that do. For those of you who still use one, this Hello Kitty sewing machine looks absolutely fantastic for any fan. You can clearly see the Kitty outline and the knobs and frills fit the theme perfectly. Definitely something to look into for Hello kitty seamstresses.

Hello Kitty Shoes

Even jet black boots can be spruced up with some Hello kitty flare and come out on top. These Hello Kitty shoes sport the iconic bow perfectly, although the price of $100 may put it out of the range of many casual fans. Then again if you're a shoe fan in general maybe not, and these shoes could be used to suit any occasion!

Hello Kitty Cake

No Hello kitty fan can go astray by baking their favorite character into an edible pastry of some kind. This beautiful Hello Kitty cake goes a long way in proving this point. I don't know who Kymberli is, but I definitely can get behind an incredibly detailed cake that shows off Hello Kitty in a very grandiose fashion. I'd cry once it was time to cut into it, however.

Hello Kitty Chainsaw

Alright, so maybe the Hello Kitty chainsaw doesn't exactly score points for practicality, but that doesn't make it any less cool looking. It reminds me of Spaceballs when Yogurt is showing off all of the movie's merchandise and yells "Spaceballs the flamethrower!" I suppose there might be a lumberjack out there who is secure enough in his masculinity to go ahead and use this. Or mount it on a pedestal in his basement. Something like that.

Hello Kitty Monopoly

Is there anything that can't be converted into a Monopoly board these days? I'm beginning to think there isn't, as there are a plethora of customized boards out there for just about any niche you can think of. Still, there's something inherently appealing about Hello Kitty Monopoly, and it would be a great way to introduce young kids to the classic game of taking everyone's money and crushing them underfoot financially via a mountain of debt.

Hello Kitty Cupcakes

If you think an entire cake would be too cumbersome or you just feel bad cutting into Kitty's head for a delicious piece of cake, you can bake yourself some Hello Kitty cupcakes individually. Incredibly detailed and a treat for the taste buds, you simply can't go wrong here!

Travel Bag Brings Your Nintendo 3DS Everywhere

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 09:49:57 +0000

While my first experience with Mad Catz' officially licensed gear was not the best, subsequent purchases have turned out in a much better light. The company has come a long way with their gear, and they now have a variety of items I would consider purchasing. One of those items included on that list is this Traveler Bag for the Nintendo 3DS, which lays out a convenient way to bring your DS on the go. If traveling is in your future, consider grabbing this one. As you might expect, the goal here is to provide a convenient place for all of your DS related gear, and the traveler bag manages it with flying colors. The construction here is compact and durable, and has a protective inner lining to help keep your expensive electronics safe. It also has patches for up to 21 game cartridges, an odd number but maybe the designers are fans of Blackjack or they just ran out of real estate. There are also slots for two styli, so you can bring your lightsaber stylus along too. They don't define the material the bag is made from, but Mad Catz assures us that it is pleasant to touch, so it is probably not made out of sandpaper. The low pricepoint of $19.99 also means you won't be paying much for the extra protection. Now that you have all of your Professor Layton games safely tucked away and protected, you may be interested in some other game gear as well. You can pick up a more decorative piece with this awesome 3D Gameboy Perler bead sprite set, for example. If you would rather keep your DS in your purse, you can choose one of these great fancy purses for girls. There is bound to be something for everyone on the list, so check it out!

Outdoor Inflatable Theater Is Here Just in Time For Summer

admin — Sat, 28 May 2011 10:29:11 +0000

With summer finally starting to come on strong, you're probably turning your mind to some fun outdoor activities. Maybe it'll be golf, some tennis, or if you are the more leisurely type, this outdoor inflatable theater. Yes, you heard me correctly there, this is an inflatable theater system that transforms your backyard into your very own cinema. This way, you can enjoy watching TV or your favorite movie outside without feeling guilty about spending all of your time indoors instead of the nice weather. The theater system is constructed using a bright white vinyl 72" screen frame and the whole thing inflates in under 5 minutes thanks to the electric pump that's included. It is weather resistance and solid PVC constructions means it can withstand those sudden showers. The projector that's included runs at 480p resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio with 900 lumens for optimal brightness. I don't know what lumens are, exactly, but they sure do sound important. It also includes twin 8" water resistant speakers that plug into the projector for a surround sound experience. Note that both the pump and projector cannot resist water, so keep them safely under shelter. If you are so inclined, all of this equipment can be blown up indoors, too. I'm not sure if that equates to bad luck, similar to opening an umbrella indoors, but I think you'll be OK. Considering how much is included with your purchase, the price tag of $999.95. doesn't sound all that outrageous. Just keep the pins away from it. If you are geeking it up outside in the summer getting ready for the beach, you might as well go all out with this R2D2 Bathing Suit. If it gets a little too toasty for your liking, not to worry, you can still keep cool with this CoolWare personal cooling system. Now you should have pretty much all of your bases covered.

The Wearable Tent Shields You From the Elements

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 13:54:43 +0000

I have seen some seriously odd outdoor wear in my time, having spent a good portion of my leisure time out fishing and camping. I have to admit, though, that this wearable tent is something that I haven't seen before. Essentially, this interesting little piece of clothing serves a multitude of purposes. Not only will it serve as water-tight rain gear, but if you are so inclined you can also convert into a lightweight sleeping bag and shelter within the span of a few short minutes. If you're curious. the material is made out of waterproof, breathable 3.1 oz. urethane-coated rip-stop nylon. If you think the gear looks a bit bulky, there is good reason for that, as the jacket stows the three-season sleeping bag and shelter in a variety of zipped pouches. The jacket also sports zippered underarm vents along with a reversible front zipper and an integrated hood and collar. If you want to take a nap, you can cover yourself in the shelter and lay down prone. As you might expect, the shelter is only large enough to cover yourself, so your significant other will need his or her own to stay out of the rain. The gear looks unquestionably unwieldy, and I feel like I'd be afraid I'd tear it on the innumerable number of surfaces you encounter in the wild, but definitely points for innovation here. As tents go, the price isn't really all that high, clocking in at $249.95. If you are in the market for other innovative gadgetry for camping, I can suggest a few ideas. You can stave off the heat with this personal air conditioner, for all of you summer campers out there. You can also light up the night with this stylish solar light cap.

Electric Wine Opener Saves Your Hands From Screwing Up

admin — Sun, 29 May 2011 15:25:55 +0000

I wouldn't think that there is much of a market out there for electric wine openers. I mean if you are a serious wine person, wouldn't you want to do that yourself to make sure it is done right? Apparently there are enough people out there that would prefer to have a machine do the job, as a wine industry expert opened 49 bottles with a number of different openers and decided that this model was "great and easiest by far." I would say that's a significant show of support. While other corkscrews may be difficult to insert or spin the bottle rather than the cork, this handy device securely latches onto the wine bottle neck and plunges the worm squarely into the center. This is important, since you don't want the cork falling into the wine. The model can open up to 40 bottles in a single eight-hour charge, and it also includes a foil cutter. That is a whole lot of functionality for the seemingly low price of $39.95. For a serious fan of wines, that is a drop in the bucket. As with other Hammacher Schlemmer products, you'll receive a lifetime guarantee, so you can take comfort in knowing that if your wine opener breaks you can always go get a new one. Now that you have your wine-opening covered, you may be interested in some other wine products. You can turn any wine into a sparkling beverage, for example, with this iSi Twist'n Sparkle. If you want to show off your wine spirit without actually purchasing an expensive bottle, you can try this USB wine bottle speaker. You may not be able to drink it, but it makes for a great display piece and looks just like the genuine article.

SkyBar Wine & Champagne Traveler Chills Your Booze for Hours

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 14:46:29 +0000

While I personally like to enjoy my wine at home while sitting on the couch, sometimes on the road you need to bring your wine of choice with you in the go. For that, you will need something that can easily transport and protect your bottle while simultaneously keeping it cool so that your friends and family can savor the taste at its best. For that occasion, the Skybar Wine & Champagne Traveler is here to help you with all of your wine-related transporting needs. The traveler pack keeps pre-chilled spirits like wine, or a liquor of your choice that happens to be in a wine shaped bottle, nice and cool for up to two hours. That should provide enough time to safely transport it to a variety of events like parties, housewarming occasions, baby and bridal showers, or even a trip out into the mountains with your significant other. The casing is constructed using a plastic housing and a nice, thick layer of insulating foam that allows the wine to remain at drinking temperature. The lid fits on snuggly and the handle snaps in so that you won't have any accidents from the lid popping off during the trip. Depending on your preference, the traveler comes in two colors: Light Blue and Dark Gray. It fits 750mL wine bottles or the champagne of your choice. The price of $19.95 is likely less that what you would pay for a low to mid range bottle of wine, anyway. If you are looking for other wine related gear, we have featured a number of items here on Gadgether. Any plain old glass of wine can be turned into a sparkling treat with this iSI Twist'n Sparkle, especially if you prefer champagne but don't have any available. This USB Wine Bottle Speaker may not have any serious vintage, but it makes a great display piece for any wine fan.

Canine Goggles Make Up for Stylish Protective Eye Wear for Your Pets

admin — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 15:47:54 +0000

Summers bring with them the perils of scorching blistering weather but tons of sunscreen, bikinis and designer eye wear save the day for us. But ensuring all of this for your beloved pet could be little cumbersome. If not for anything else, Hammacher Schlemmer here takes up the baton of giving your extended family member a tailor-made pair of eye wear. Hailed as the Canine Protective Glasses, these goggles have shatterproof polycarbonate lenses and a rubber wrap around frame which stops dirt and dust from entering into your dog’s eyes. The lenses here are known to block 100% of the sun's harmful UV rays and will also not hamper clear viewing during foggy weather conditions. At the first instance these might come across as swimming goggles, but their actual functionality goes much beyond that. The makers here have been considerate enough to include a deep lens cup and a wide bridge in its design so as to make it a perfect fit for your canine’s protruding eyes and wide snouts. To avoid any sort of discomfort, its frame is lined with soft foam padding and also adjustable elastic head-and-chin straps ensure ease in usage. There doesn’t seem to be any color choices but three sizes are available which are proportional to the pet's weight. It can be bought for a price of $19.95. The product page reads out that these glasses were originally issued to military working dogs to protect their eyes from blowing sand and the sun. Given the high pollution levels and rising temperatures owing to global warming, your little pedigree too deserves one of this even though it isn’t catching bad guys all day long. Designer labels have earlier ventured into pet accessories but I wonder how much time would it take from them to create utilitarian products like these. I am hoping that in near term something like this is unveiled for our feline pets. For more on pet care products that we featured earlier, check out the Dyson’s Groom Brush for Dogs that efficiently takes care of your hairy pet's coat, the FroliCat Dart which will your them engaged and the Pet’s Eye View that will help you keep a watch on your dearest pets.

Batman Women's Flock T-Shirt Shows Off Female Crime-Fighting Fashion

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 14:49:01 +0000

It isn't often that I see women out there wearing Batman gear, and I think that we are doing a disservice by not providing ladies with the clothing they obviously crave. OK, so maybe I just crave it, but that doesn't make this Batman Womens T-Shirt any less cool. It prominently displays the Batman logo in a style that men and women alike can appreciate. As you can see, the T-shirt features a circular Batman symbol which is actually made from a soft, raised felt material that fills the periphery. Along the circumference you will also noted a printed charcoal splattering effect. This gives the shirt a much darker, grittier look, just like the caped crusader himself. SuperHeroStuff states that the shirt is made from 85 percent Cotton and 35 percent Polyester, but I find that a little confusing. I mean if they said it was 135 percent Cotton, you would be confused too! Given the intricate detail and high quality of the shirt, you may need to open your wallet a bit deeper than usual to pick this one up. The shirt clocks in at $29.99, which is admittedly higher than what you would expect to pay for a t-shirt, to be sure, but just look at how awesome it is! It is actually part of a limited print run, so if you are on the fence you better get it while the getting is still good! Of course there is no reason you should limit yourself to just one cool t-shirt, and plenty have been featured here at Gadgether. If you're a fan of food, then you might want to look up the hand-painted silk bacon scarf. Alternatively, you can doll yourself up like a superheroine with these Batgirl and Wonder Woman costume shirts.Super powers and bad-ass utility belts are, unfortunately, not included.

Pure Black Kitchen Knife Chops in Style

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:03:57 +0000

If you keep up on the latest kitchen styles, you have probably noticed that stainless steel, marble, and sometimes copper are popular fashions. If you want your accessories to match the sleek awesomeness that is your kitchen, you're going to need something like this pure black kitchen knife, which exudes the personality of a great kitchen utensil. If you like to think that presentation is as important as the food you cook, this knife will fit right in. It is constructed from pure black coasted chrome steel, and the knife is forged from a single piece of steel in order to increase durability. The blade is 8.5 inches long from the tip to the tang, making it 13.5 inches in total. The blade is also designed to blend into the handle, which gently curves from butt to point. According to the manufacturer, the blade is "sharper than the devil's tongue," which I'm guessing is pretty sharp. As you might expect, such a blade will not come cheap. The piece clocks in at $119.99, which is what you would expect to pay for a high quality kitchen knife. A bit on the high side, admittedly, but look how great this knife looks. If you are looking for other quality accessories for your kitchen, we have featured a number of great items here on Gadgether. If you are the intellectual type, or you like parodying zombies, then you can pick up this brain salt and pepper shaker. Any chef worth his or her salt would also need to weigh out ingredients for more complex dishes, and we have put together a nice compilation of 13 weighing machines to help you measure things. Thankfully, for me, my famous grilled cheese doesn't usually take any advanced kitchen equipment, but there's still plenty of opportunity for you foodies out there.

Zombified: Bring Death Into Your Life Without Dying

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:41:06 +0000

Forget those Twilight books and movies, zombies are still where the fun is at. Since the advent of the zombie motif, there have been countless books, movies, and zombie related items for the horror fan. Whether you are a casual fan of the genre or a hardcore zombie fanatic, here are some zombie related items that anyone can get into.

Zombie-Proof Home

Sooner or later, everyone needs to have "The talk" with their friends and family regarding the scenario of a zombie apocalypse. This line of thinking usually leads to what will we we eat, where will we stay, and how many shotguns are we going to need to fight off the undead hordes. Secure shelter is one of the most important aspects of surviving a zombie attack, as we have seen in countless zombie movies, and so getting a zombie proof home would be a great first step. As you can see, the building can go into a sort of "fortress" mode, which seals the building up like a giant concrete box. Thankfully, zombies aren't very smart, so you should be safe and sound within your bunker for as long as you need to be. I would recommend a healthy supply of food before you decide to hunker down, though, lest you need to send members of your party out to forage who may not come back. The non-fortress version of the house is actually pretty sleek looking, too.

Plants vs Zombies Crochet Dolls

If there is one game that has made the zombie apocalypse sound a lot more friendly and inviting than it should, it is Plants vs Zombies. I mean what do you have to worry about if you have your own line of plant-like defense against the undead? These Plants Vs Zombies Crochet dolls show off all of your favorite defenders as they strike down the undead masses foolish enough to try to break into your home and eat your brain. The original creator didn't skimp on variety, either. The Sunflower, Wallnut, Cattail, Pea Shooter, Snow Pea, Melonpult, Wintermelon-pult, and one of the zombies themselves are all options.

Brain Salt and Pepper Shakers

Let's assume the worst in a zombie horde scenario for a moment, You get your brain eaten, and now you are one of the mindless undead. I don't know if you ever seen a brain, but it doesn't look all that appetizing. You are going to need some seasoning for all of the people you intend to devour, and the brain salt and pepper shakers aim to provide it. Just don't try to eat the shakers themselves, lest you get stuck with porcelain shards allover your face. Not that you'll care, really, you are a zombie after all.

Zombie Wedding

Do you really want to freak out all of your conservative friends and family? Consider throwing yourself a zombie wedding theme. Your Aunt May will probably not approve of your selection, but I'll be damned if the idea isn't completely memorable. The zombie wedding idea was originally posted in our list of the craziest and most bizarre wedding themes, and I think it warranted inclusion in this list as well. Just don't set the date on the same day the zombie apocalypse starts, since that would just be tacky and the real zombies would steal all of your thunder.

Zombie Head Cookie Jar

When I think of the perfect Halloween decorations, I always come back to this zombie head cookie jar. There isn't a better way to scare the kiddies than having them take their treats right out of the head of a zombie, and if you're a horror fan, you can just use it as your cookie jar year round. Will lifting the top off reveal a delicious cookie or zombie brains? Finding out is half the fun! You can even load up your candy to suit the zombie brain motif, too. I think gummy worms would work well, or maybe crushed up Mike and Ikes. There are plenty of candies out there that probably have a similar texture and look to zombie brains, so start up your creative brainstorming now. Halloween is still a good number of months away, so you have time to decide.

Corket Rocket Puts the Fun in Bottle Opening

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:03:10 +0000

Generally speaking, the mysterious world of bottle openers just isn't very exciting. You have a cork screw, it opens your wine bottle, and that's pretty much the limit of it. Well, one clever creator decided to take what we know about this seemingly dull utensil and turn it upside down. Instead of boring, you can now reach for this Corket Rocket Bottle Opener, which is a colorful and interesting alternative. The "intergalactic" bottle rocket is great for lifting off corks at any occasion. It also gives you a cheesy joke option by counting down to lifting off some very expensive vintage. Your stuffy wine-loving friends may not enjoy it, but I know I will! At the inexpensive price of $14.99, you get a solid-construction, blood red opener that measures 6 inches long and 2.76 inches wide. The price differential between this and a run of the mill bottle opener is minimal, so you really don't have a reason not to opt for the rocket. Unless you're one of those sticks in the mud, that is. For all of the Corket Rocket's colorful charm, the thing still needs to be operated manually. User error in opening a bottle of wine is shockingly common, so you might be better off shooting for an automated alternative. This electric wine opener can help save your hands from getting all sorts of cork bits in your expensive or not-so-expensive bottle of wine. If you would prefer to have your bottle openers reflect your current emotional state, someone else out there can empathize thanks to these crazy mood bottle openers. Sure they won't open a bottle of wine, but you can be passive-aggressive by handing someone you don't like the angry bottle opener. Will they get the message? Maybe, maybe not, but it would still be fun to give it a shot.

Coffee Gadgets For Caffeine Fiends

admin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:40:00 +0000

There is a reason that Dunkin Donuts went with the popular slogan, "America Runs on Dunkin." We do love our coffee, and that's increasingly true on a global level. Caffeine may have some drawbacks in terms of side effect,s but that hasn't stopped anyone from wolfing down their daily cup of joe, and as consumers are are on a constant quest for improvement. A regular old cup of coffee just doesn't provide enough of a boost anymore these days. Here are some coffee related items that will give you your much needed shot of caffeine in new and interesting ways.

The Aeropress Coffee Maker

Anytime someone wants to make the bold claim that they can provide the best cup of coffee ever construed, you can color me skeptical. The creators behind the Aeropress coffee maker, however, believe they can do just that. Simply place a small filter at the bottom of the press and throw in a measured scoop of the coffee of your choice. Add in the hot water and press down slowly on the plunger. The final result will hopefully be somewhere along the lines of the best cup of coffee ever. Or not. Considering the number of different flavors, bean types, styles, and costs of coffee out there, I don't think you will find many who will agree.

The sphere-like body holds the coffee and hot water, and you simply poor the trigger to shoot out some serious caffeinated power.

Sushi Pillow: Eat it or Snuggle It?

admin — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:02:17 +0000

On a personal level, there aren't many household items resembling food that I can get behind. I mean a giant pillow that looks like, say, a hoho, would just make me hungry. Along the same line, my first impression was where would I put this without wanting to go out for sushi? Still, there is something novel about being able to hug your favorite piece of food, and sushi certainly looks huggable to me. Naturally, the sushi pillow would be best suited for someone who is an actual fan of eating the food, so get that information in advance before picking this up as a gift. Sushi is an unquestionably chic food, so the extra ambiance can help any room look a bit more extravagant. At least one buyer of the pillow agrees, as they gave it 4 stars out of 5: "The pillow is a good value and well made. Wish it had texture." I don't think I would like my sushi pillow to have "texture," or how you would go about accomplishing that, but to each his or her own. At $19.99, you can give the pillow a good trial run without breaking your bank, too. If a sushi pillow just doesn't sound all that appetizing to you, we have featured a number of different pillow styles here at Gadgether. These Google Android Pillows would be a great option if you're a long time fan of software and want to show all of your iPhone toting friends which platform rules in your house. You can also go a little more scientific with these thermosensitive pillows. Remember the mood rings that would change color depending on your emotional state? These pillows take that concept and apply it to a pillow case, and you can make all sorts of fun impressions with your hands and face.

Erase Your Past Tea Soothes Away Bad Memories

admin — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:01:28 +0000

When I first read the title, I thought that Erase Your Past Tea would make for a great B Science Fiction movie. You know, sort of like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but instead of having your bad memories erased by a machine, you simply drink this particular tea. I have a feeling that I would not want to see the list of side effects for that brand of tea, however. With that said, this Oolong tea won't physically erase gaps in your mind, but it can help soothe you to a point where you forget about the worst of it for awhile. I feel pretty confident in saying all of us have at least one memory that we would like to forget about and each time it happens to creep up, we cringe. As the description notes, the tea cannot physically remove that tattoo you have of your now ex-girlfriend who took all of your stuff. What it can do, however, is push those terrible down, way way down, into the deep recesses of your mind. Sure, experts say that isn't healthy, but the tea knows better. Oolong tea has always been a big favorite of mine, and the option to erase bad memories seems to be a nice perk if you ask me. Even if you are a skeptic, at a price of $9.99 it won't break your bank to try it out for yourself. Serious tea drinkers tend to be very discerning when it comes to their teas of choice, equipment, etc. The infuser, for example, is an important part of the average tea drinker's arsenal. With that in mind, you can take your pick of 19 Geeky Tea Infusers to suit your nerdy tastes in tea equipment. If you are on the quest for the ultimate steamy, herb filled beverage, then you can also check out a recent post about How to Make a Perfect Cup of Tea. A bold claim, to be sure, but worth checking into.

Hello Kitty Babydoll Shirt Makes You Want to Dance, Dance, Dance

admin — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 14:59:04 +0000

Hello Kitty has been around for quite some time now, but new generations seem to still be following along with the iconic character. Hello Kitty swag is quite popular even amongst those who haven't seen the show. Face it, the cat is just too damn cute not to want to buy her stuff. This Hello Kitty Babydoll shirt perfectly captures the Kitty spirit, and sports the red bow proudly. As you can see, the shirt is entirely white with the hello kitty logo in all lowercase letters. The text is in jet black with the memorable bow adorning the end of the y. This would be a great gift for any fan of the show, and the price tag clocks in at $24.99. That is about what you would expect for a birthday gift near you, even if it is a little pricier than your average tee shirt. You want them to be happy, don't you? One t-shirt, though, likely isn't enough to satisfy your Hello Kitty mania. Lucky for you, we have featured a fairly wide array of Hello Kitty items here at Gadgether, and I'll link a few for you. You can get everything in one place with this extensive list of must have items for Hello Kitty Fans, but why not do some exploring. My own personal favorite are the Hello Kitty Stereo Earphones. Despite the high price tag, the earphones are just as conspicious as you would like. Enough for a fellow fan to recognize, to be sure, but not over the top in your face fandom. If over the top is what you are in the market for, consider the Hello Kitty chainsaw. Practical? Absolutely not, but you can't argue that it isn't unique, and you can show off your Hello Kitty swag to all of your lumberjack friends.

How To Stay Caffeinated

admin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:58:25 +0000

Everyone knows that there’s nothing quite like coffee to wake you up, but you don’t have to rely on such conventional means to get your caffeine! There are many more methods of consuming caffeine than there used to be. All you need is an arsenal of caffeinated items. Once armed with these products you can defeat sleep and conquer any task.

It does not contain any harsh ingredients, as it is vegetable-based, but it does have about 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving.

World's Largest Gummy Worm is Creepy But Delicious

admin — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:06:32 +0000

I can honestly say that I have never had much of a sweet tooth. Frozen delicacies like ice cream, milkshakes, and so on I definitely enjoy, but straight up candy has never been my empty calorie of choice. Still, there are plenty of consumers out there who love themselves a tasty, sugary treat, and you don't get much more sugary than the world's largest gummy worm. That is likely more sugar than your body has room for. This monstrous gummy worm may not look very appetizing, but there is a whole lot of goodness in there. It measures two feet long and weighs in around 3 pounds. Considering that the worm contains roughly 4,000 calories, I think it is fair to say that you should not take on the task of eating it without a good number of friends. Thankfully, you at least get to choose one of 5 blended flavors, including lemon and orange, green apple and red cherry, pineapple and red cherry, blue raspberry and red cherry, or orange and blue raspberry. Just be sure to clear the flavors with your partners in crime before you order it, because this titanic of taste does not come cheap. The world's largest gummy worm clocks in at $27.95, which is expensive for your average piece of candy. Then again, this definitely isn't your average piece of candy, so expect to pay more. If you are still in the mood for something sweet but you would rather not become diabetic in the process, there are plenty of other options here on Gadgether. You could have a much more moderate treat with the added benefit of your favorite Japanese cartoon character on the top with this Hello Kitty Pez Candy set. You can also try recreating the carnival experience in your very own home with this Candy Floss Maker.

Geek is Chic: 6 Nerdy Necklaces

admin — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 15:29:02 +0000

For night on forever, jewelry has been used to express our own personal tastes as well as tokens of affection for those that we care about. Necklaces provide an additional extension of this idea, and if you happen to be a geeky girl who loves nerdy fashion, why not show it off? I have compiled a short list of necklaces that any nerd should be proud to own. Or give to someone you know would enjoy it, depending on your preference.

Key To My Heart Necklace

I'm not entirely sure why, but I always thought there was something inherently awesome about vintage keys. Those large, well crafted little pieces of metal have been used as a symbol for some time, but the idea has never gotten old to me. I would love to have a giant chest filled with precious things and a key to it worn around my neck. Well minus the chest, this Key to my Heart necklace fits that bill perfectly.The key on the necklace is authentic and measures 1.5 inches in length. The heart is crafted from brass, along with a fuchsia Lucite bead stone the originates from Germany. To top it off, the key is then placed on a brass chain that uses 18 inch links and looks like an expensive antique wherever you go. Where do I sign?

Butterfly Wing Necklace

Speaking of symbols that have been used for a long time, consider the butterfly. These butterfly wing necklaces look like the elegant fliers of the insect world, including foldable wings so that you can easily fit them into bags or purses. Each piece looks a lot like the genuine article, but a wide number of color schemes are available. Find one that's right for you and go with it, especially for the Summer season.

Apple of Your Eye Pendants

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but these "Apple of your Eye" Pendants are designed to last a lifetime. These pendants are constructed from a fine powder of pure metal that is then mixed with a binder. The material can then be molded/crafted to the desired shape, in this case a fantastic looking necklace. Once prepared, the item is fired in a kiln, which leaves the final product as pure silver. Pretty impressive in terms of methodology, if I do say so. Even if you don't love eating apples, you should be able to find some appreciation for these wonderfully crafted pieces somewhere along the way.

Female USB Necklace

Now we come to a really nice necklace of the geeky variety. The female USB necklace gives you the ultimate icon of girl power and the ability to pull things off of your hard drive in a flash. The symbol necklaces are created in two iterations: 2gb and 16gb. If you want to make it a pair, you can get your presently significant other the male symbol necklace as well.

Snazzy MP3 Player Pendant

Wouldn't it be nice if you could wear a fashionable piece of jewelry that also had the simultaneous function of playing your favorite songs? Now you can do just that with this snazzy pendant that also hides an mp3 player. At the very least you can't argue that they aren't flashy

,

and even if the style seems lukewarm to you, consider that you will be able to play music even if your files are in MP3 or WMA format. The necklace is also surprisingly light, weighing in at a comparatively low 56 grams.

Pink Heart USB Necklace

It would appear that necklaces provide a great opportunity to embed small pieces of gadgetry. If an MP3 player doesn't sound like it would be up your alley, considering breaking your heart open for this pink heart USB necklace. Sporting a 4GB storage capacity and a price tag that is very manageable, there really isn't much to dislike here. Given the fact that I tend to lose my USB flash drives no matter where I seem to store them, having them attached to a necklace seems like a fantastic idea. Whether you purchase this nice little piece for yourself or for someone special, you really can't go wrong. Go get one!

My Little Pony Stuff For Long Time Fans

admin — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:29:03 +0000

I'm not ashamed to admit that as a kid, I thought My Little Pony was awesome. All of the cheesy messages of fun and goodness were there, and going back to watch them now, you realize just how beat over the head you were with the lessons. With that said, that doesn't make me remember the show any less fondly, and there are still plenty of long time fans out there who look back and say "I saw all of the movies!" If you happen to be in that camp, here are some My Little Pony items you would love to have.

Blue Art Pony

Admittedly, when I first saw this blue pony, I thought she was a little creepy looking. I think it has something to do with the black eyes. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate the craftsmanship, though. This collector's pony is beautifully pained and provides a mysterious and intriguing look to the usually flamboyant and open My Little Pony model. If you happen to be a collector fo My Little Pony toys, then this item would be a must-have. Or you can still play with it and have it prance around the living room, depending on your preference.

Thundercats Liono Pony

Take one of the most hilariously bad series from the eighties, combine it with My Little Pony, and you probably get something like this Liono My Little Pony edition. He may not be able to wield a giant broad sword, and he won't be carrying around Liono anytime soon, but he is still quite cute. It must have taken quite a bit of customization in order to get this look to come close to the genuine article. Besides, Liono can always use some more annoying animal companions. I think they should have just booted Snarf out and bring in the My Little Pony. They could probably toss some armor on him too, to complete the look. He should also breath fire. Yeah, I could definitely get into this.

My Little Pony Zombie

It turns out that in the plague-ridden, zombie filled universe of the future, no one is safe. They may have the power of the rainbow, but that might not save them from the slavering hordes of undead. This My Little Pony Zombie is proof of this. I think they should make a comic based on this concept, much like they did regarding superheroes. How will the ponies fend off their undead counterparts? We won't know until they write it. Assuming they write it, of course, but I would be first in line to pick up the literature.

My Little Pony: The Soldering Iron

Judging by the sheer magnitude of cuteness that this My Little pony Soldering Iron exudes, you might be tempted to touch the tip of her horn. I do have a little piece of advice for you: Don't. It may look a little ridiculous, but it definitely scores more points for practicality than your average children's toy. Now you can fuse things together with the power of cute and happiness. This is one mod that I definitely would not have come up with, considering that there are probably very few My Little Pony fans out there who are also skilled in the ways of soldering. I, for example, wouldn't even know how to tturn the thing on. This probably means I need to brush up on my handyman skills.

Superman My Little Pony

Making the hearts of little ponies everywhere flutter, this Superman My Little Pony goes to show us that ponies also came from krypton and have super strength. I'm always impressed by how accurately some of these mods represent their original characters. This superman adaptation captures the pure spirit that the man in blue has put forth throughout his many comic book and movie appearances. What we need now is an adapation of famous superman villains, and they can battle it out for control of pony land. I particuarly like the use of the black mane, stylishly whipped up to make him look more like the man of steel ... er, pony of steel. You know what I am trying to say.

Baby Accessories Every Mom Should Have

admin — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 15:29:05 +0000

From what I understand, raising a child is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences a person can undertake. So far, I have been content to take their word for it and leave it at that, but who knows what the future holds, am I right? Yet even when it comes to raising your kids, you still want to keep the atmosphere light and full of fun whenever, while also utilizing technology to take on important tasks, too. Here are 6 fun baby items that can help you do just that.

Personal Baby Assistant

Taking care of a baby is a pretty demanding job, and after a couple weeks of sleep-deprived management, you may have a few tasks that slip your mind. Well, the personal baby assistant is here to help you remember. The assistant lets you schedule a wide variety of events, including when it is feeding time or whether it is time to put your bundle of joy down for a nap. You can also upload any and all information to your PC as well, allowing for easy access to anything you will need.

Baby Bidou MP3 Player

Music can be good for your kid, and disguising an mp3 player as a teddy bear is an ingenious way to keep it close to your baby at all times. Each "Teddy Tunes-A-Lot" can hold up to 32 hours of whatever music you think would be appropriate. You know the sort, toss in some Raffi and perhaps a little Mozart and you should be good to go!

Ritmo Baby Speakers

While the Science behind having your baby listen to Mozart during early development in order to enhance their intellect has questionable merit, there are still plenty of mothers out there who would like their kids exposed to it at an early age. Well, you can't get much earlier than these Ritmo Baby Speakers, which allow you to project sound at a hopefully-reasonable volume. Note that "Get out of there already" will probably not do much for your kid's self confidence, so keep it to beneficial messages and melodies only.

Designer Baby Automated Crib

Having a machine take care of your baby instead of you may sound like a bad plot for the next "Terminator" movie, but in the fast-paced, no time for anything world we live in today, there just might be a niche out there for it. Jokes about parenting aside, the crib actually does provide some interesting safety functions. It can prevent the baby from rolling out of the crib, swing softly if the baby begins to get upset thanks to sensors mounted on the frame, and effectively mimic the movement made when a parent has them in their arms. Now, I wouldn't recommend this as a replacement for a responsible parent, but if you have a couple thousand dollars lying around, you could find worse ways to spend it.

iPhone Teething Block

Let's face it: Babies need to chew on things. Besides the continual propensity to shove whatever is nearby directly into their mouth, babies teething is a long, arduous process that many parents dread. Well, now you can give them something that looks an awful lot like a smartphone without damaging their teeth on the expensive electronics with this iPhone teething block. You may as well prepare them for a time when they will be carrying the iPhone around with them anyway, so why not start young? Best o fall, the iPhone teething block does nto emit any sort of radiation, which is more than can be said for the actual mobile device.

Cry Analyzer

When dealing with babies, sometime it feels like they will just wail and sob and scream for no particular reason. Even after you have changed them, fed them, and cared for them, they might still be grumpy, or they simply lack any other way to express their discomfort. This nifty little baby cry analyzer will measure the depth of your baby's cries and pop out the emotion that your baby is feeling. The chart of emotions is fairly straightforward, ranging from "Stressed" to "Hungry" to "Annoyed." I'm not sure exactly how one goes about proving the accuracy of the device, since you can't actually ask the baby if he or she is annoyed , but hey, it is worth a try.

The Best Wine Accessories Money Can Buy

admin — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:29:07 +0000

As a hobby, I have always been fascinated by serious wine drinkers. On the sruface, drinking wine always struck me as a straightforward affair. I like the taste of this, I don't like the taste of that, and the world keeps on spinning. Yet below the surface is a world of complex taste buds, a variety of styles in creating the wine, and a number of different vintages that all produce very different results. If you happen to be wine enthusiast yourself, consider picking up some of these great wine accessories.

While the detail may not be as intricate as you might expect, be sure to keep in mind that at the end of the day it is a wine opener first and a Bird of Prey second, so the options for the manufacturer to add detail while still making it an effective wine opener are fairly limited. Live long and prosper while you pop open your next bottle of wine.

Practical Camping Gadgets for the Outdoorsy Gal

admin — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 07:20:22 +0000

So, you’re planning on entering the woods sometimes soon, with intentions of staying a while, and you need to pick up a few things. You’ve chosen your tent of residence, decided on the best camping foods ,and have instructed your loved ones as to some relative location to begin looking for you should the Blair Witch attempt to intervene. You are ninety percent certain that you went camping once before when you were a kid and that it is as glamorous as you kinda recall. Even if it’s not, you’ll be just fine with no formal training. Besides, who needs Boyscouts when you have these awesome accessories?

SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet

Fashion first! Don’t be afraid to go rugged, for only $19.99. How about some nifty jewelry that is actually an amazing survival tool? This 14-foot length of paracord from SurvivalStraps looks like a bracelet/anklet and will conveniently transform when the need arises. There is a handy release on the side, so your cord can be easily accessed in emergency situations, or in any other situation in which you desire something long and strong. Then you can use your smooth resilient cord to support up to 550 lbs while you become the star of the day ... or the night ... and “if you have to use the SurvivalStrap to survive, they will replace it free of charge!” Image Source: SurvivalStraps

Pet Loc8tor

Hopefully, you’re planning to take an adorable doggy with you on this trek towards inner peace. Regardless, you should bring the Loc8tor, priced at $79.99. This product has been acclaimed as the "Best Locator in the World," so, even if you are canine-less you can be sure that you have at least purchased the highest quality turtle tracker available. Here’s a neat trick: Wander away from your campsite at night. Just leave aLoc8tor beacon behind and you should be able to find your way back with ease.

Huge Capacity Solar Charger and Battery

You must remember to charge your solar-powered items while the sun is still up. You may be thinking: What solar-powered items? Why, all of them, of course! Bring the Huge Capacity Solar Charger and Battery with you and you can still use all your favorite electronic gadgets, even your laptop, while you commune with nature! Since this item is about the size of a laptop, it should fit right into that backpack, after it costs you $199.99.

Solar-Powered Water Bottle Cap

Surely, you’ve packed bottles of water in that backpack, as well. Get this small tidbit and then you can use them to provide light. That’s right. The Solar Powered Water Bottle Cap, which costs $19.99, charges up during the day so it can shine on in the dark. It even has a built in motion-sensor that prevents it from wasting power if it’s already in the light.

Swedish FireSteel and Mayadust

Swedish FireSteel, $15.99, and Mayadust, $4.99, will get a fire going in even the most severe weather. Will you get trapped by a violent hail storm and be unable to travel, thus forced to hunker down to try to stave of hypothermia? Maybe. If that does happen will this combo save your life? It should, and the Swedish FireSteel will light over 12,000 times before you need a replacement, so spark up!

FireStash Keychain Lighter

Yup, having that fire is pretty important. That’s why you need the FireStash Keychain Lighter, for $12.99. This waterproof canister lighter will always be around, as long as you don’t lose your keys. Let’s face it: You’re probably going to make quite an effort not to do so. Plus, it is really small, so it won’t be an everyday inconvenience if you choose to make it a permanent addition to your key chain, and then you can light up all kinds of things in all kinds of places.

BodyGuard Self-Powered Emergency Tool

All of these intensely intriguing items should enable you to survive the extreme expedition that you no doubt have planned. There is just one more essential item that you require. The BodyGuard Self-Powered Emergency Tool, which costs $19.99, boasts a compass, digital FM radio, motion detecting security alarm, flashlight, panic button, flashing red light, signaling mirror, and even a storage container for pills, matches, or the like. Features may be powered with a hand crank and you can even charge your cell phone with this gadget. It could help you out in a wide variety of sticky situations, so you should definitely get one.

So ...

Currently, you can buy this little camping kit of modern marvels from ThinkGeek.com, and have all of these items delivered to you, for a grand total of $373.92 (before sales tax and postage, of course). If that seems like a lot to you, consider the following situation in which everything listed here could be used in conjunction, even if you don’t have that cell phone, to save your life.

A Very Real Possibility:

Your gal-pals have talked you into an oh-so-empowering white water rafting/camping trip, and you are completely stoked to face the challenges that lie ahead. However, since you’re running a level four out of five on your first river trip, your friends don’t even realize it when you are briskly bounced from the raft. Instead of drowning, you quickly use your Survivalstrap to snag a rapidly passing object from which you can pull and pray yourself to safety. You do a good job and survive (so, yay, you will get a free new bracelet), but you are very alone now, the sun is setting, and you’re quite lost. Well, at least you had on a nice padded waterproof backpack in which all this precious cargo remained safely stored in zipped plastic baggies. You see a small area under a large rocky hill that looks like a good place to get situated. You immediately pull out your Huge Capacity Solar Charger and Battery and your Solar Powered Water Bottle Cap (things that thankfully charged earlier in the sunlight) while turning on the panic button and flashing red light on the BodyGuard Self-Powered Emergency Tool as you plug it into the power source in hopes that the ruckus will eventually attract your friends. It’s really cold, though, and you ought to build a fire before you promptly begin to freeze to death in the quickly-approaching night. So, you leave a Loc8tor beacon at the location, take the coordinating hand piece, and wander off to find some kindling, confident this gadget will guide you back when you are done. Once you’ve accomplished your task you return to the location which would be dark if not illuminated by the Solar Powered Water Bottle Cap, and since no-one has arrived yet, you use your FireStash Keychain Lighter, which definitely survived the watery accident, to easily start a fire. It is nighttime and you shouldn’t go wandering around the woods by yourself. Thus, it is best to wait to survive the night in one location and then use your compass, which is also on the BodyGuard Self-Powered Emergency Tool, to guide you in the morning. So now, just enjoy the warmth of your fire and try to ignore your annoyance with this situation so you can get some rest. Soon you will be rescued - sweet dreams! Lightening strikes! You’re dreaming, right? The tree that smacks the ground way too nearby quickly convinces you that you’re not, and as the rain starts slapping your face, you think of rushing your precious gadgets to safety. You cannot save the fire, though. You then realize that if you are unable to relight it, you can’t survive the night. You start to cry. You think you do, at least. It’s pretty hard to tell. Tears are oddly difficult to distinguish within billions of raindrops. Then you suddenly remember that you have Swedish FireSteel and Mayadust. You are magically able to relight your fire, although it is meager, and you must position yourself in a manner which allows you to partially protect it from the rain, but it is warm enough to renew your hope. Inspired, you wait patiently for dawn and devise lovely exaggerations to ensure your status as ‘heroine’ within the local newspaper. When the rescuers, pale with worry, find you in the morning, you are skipping jauntily down the riverbank, singing along to the radio on one of your new favorite gadgets that helped you determine which of the three branching tributaries to follow. Your friends soon express their remorse for unwittingly leaving you behind and tell you how thankful they are that you had the foresight to purchase all these items that surely saved your life … They also mention how very glad they are that the vicious starving mountain lion and her four cubs, which you had to suddenly heroically defend yourself against, with a branch that you jumped 10 feet into the air to yank off the nearest tree, didn’t get to eat you, and somehow didn’t leave a scratch … Then that writer does a bang up job writing your article … Learn How To Stay Caffeinated on your camping trip and consider coming home to Her Star Wars Kitchen!

admin — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:39:03 +0000

Yay - another day at the office. However will you make it through the mundane activities that await and why do you even come to this awful place at all?

5 Electronic Board Games For Family Fun Night

admin — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:04:57 +0000

I have personally always enjoyed a good game night with friends and family. Whether the board games are new or old, I think there's always something that everyone can agree on to play, depending on how competitive your family/friends happen to be. The latest iteration of games, however, have made the transition from board to electronic, and in many places the style and gameplay is completely streamlined. This helps to cut down on setup time and break down time, and also lessens the chance that you'll be trying to play a game with a number of vital missing pieces. Here are some of our personal favorites.

The Virtual Assist Dartboard

I have always enjoyed a good game of darts while out at the bar, but keeping track of the scoring system can be a bit of a pain. This is even more true after you have consumed a couple of cold ones, but thankfully the virtual assist dartboard is here to save the day. The assist comes in whenever you toss a dart and hit a particular section, which will immediately illuminate. The electronic board also uses LED lights to help you calculate the score quickly and easily. If regular darts aren't enough for you, the board comes with a variety of game modes including Count Up, Blackjack, and Treasure Hunt. The latter seems to be the most intriguing, with players battling it out to find secret treasures hidden on the board somewhere.

Electronic Scrabble

I always thought Scrabble was a great game right up until you go against someone who was an English major that pops out words you would have never even dreamed of. Setup can also be a bit of a pain with getting all of the letters organized and ready to go. Electronic Scrabble removes the need for a board or letter blocks, however, so you can focus on the honored past time of sifting through a dictionary to find out if forgagglylump is in fact somewhere in the English language. Here's a hint: It isn't. You only need 5 letter tiles to get started, so you can bang out a game if you're low on time without a problem.

Customized Photo Rubik's Cube

The Rubik's cube has been a source of solo entertainment for well over a decade now, and it has gone through a number of changes throughout that period. Still, most people are in one of two camps: Those who solve it and those who don't. The customized photo rubik's cube gives you some incentive to get that puzzle done, and besides it is fun just to have around to display a few of your favorite pictures.

Monopoly: Electronic Banking Addition

This has to be one of the most welcomed improvements made to a classic board game... well ever. Depending on the intensity of your Monopoly matches, keeping track of all that money was a bit of a pain. Sometimes, bills would slip and slide around and get lost or misappropriated from the bank occasionally. To help solve that problem, Parker Brothers was smart enough to come up with this Monopoly: Electronic Banking edition, which keeps all of your money tracked and saved in a convenient electronic format. You can pay others, buy property, manage your bankroll, etc. all with the swipe of your provided card. Die hard Monopoly fans may be a bit intimidated by the introduction of the electronic equipment, but once you get the hang of it I guarantee you will never go back. Seriously, it is just that much of an improvement over the original game there isn't much reason to.

Boggle Flash: Wordsmith

Boggle has been a popular game amongst both kids and adults for a pretty long time now, and it is easy to see why. The game play is simply yet deceivingly interesting. While the original Boggle wasn't that complicated to begin with, Boggle Flash: Wordsmith does help streamline the game even further. You will immediately notice the similarities here between this and Electronic Scrabble, and for good reason. Boggle's noticeable difference, however, is in the introduction of a time limit, and the flash version can be played anytime, anywhere in short order. I'm not sure this replaces the original game, per se, but it would be great fun for trips.

Sweet Treats for Every Geek

admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 15:28:59 +0000

Whether you are an integrated part of nerd culture or not, chances are you enjoy the occasional sweet treat. I have seen a wide array of nerdy references in a number of pastries, cakes, ice cream, muffins. You name it, and someone, somewhere, has made a cake out of it. Geeky candy themes are a great way to express your love for a particular game, character, or movie. Here are some of my personal favorites that I think you will enjoy, too!

Gaming Controller Candy

Sometimes, we all need a mint. Whether you just ate a delicious smoked salmon or you were chowing down on garlic bread while drinking coffee, it is always nice to have a mint on hand for some quick refreshment. What better way to store your mints than with these gaming peripheral candy boxes? I can't think of one, and you have a nice variety to choose from. You can go fairly old school with the original Nintendo controller, an easily referenced question mark box from Super Mario Bros, or the tried and true Atari controller. Unlike the original Atari controllers, which were prone to breaking and wearing out rather easily, this candy box will likely last as long as you want to have it around.

Do It Yourself Sushi Shaped Candy

Sure, the concept of sushi candy really doesn't sound all that appetizing, but the key concept here is that this candy is sushi "shaped," rather than constructed from raw fish. The Do It Yourself Sushi Shaped Candy kit comes from Japan, shockingly, and the idea here is that you mix together a number of different sugars, gelatin, and coloring to create the sushi replicas. Seaweed, for example, is made from a strip of stretchy, soft candy that you can then rap around a more solid piece to complete the look of nori seaweed. Bizarre in concept but fun in execution.

Han Solo Frozen in Chocolate Carbonite

It seems like poor Han just can't catch a break. The iconic scene from the Empire Strikes has been recreated in a number of formats, from soap to throw blankets. If you always thought you could just eat Han Solo up, now is your chance! Before you bite into poor Han, though, you should know the recipe calls for something a little unusual. Chocolate and peanut butter Han Solo I can definitely get on board with, but bacon? That's right, bacon is squished inbetween the delicious candy goodness. Not for the faint of heart.

Wall-E Pinata

So not everyone loves the movie, but this Wall-E Pinata should please critics and fans alike. If you liked the movie, this is an interesting way to express your appreciation. If you were not a fan, well just think of it as having an opportunity to smash Wall-E open and eat his delicious candy insides. That is what I define as a win-win situation.

Candy Floss Maker

Sooner or later, it will probably strike you as a good idea to capture the carnival experience in your very own home without the constant need to spend money on crappy prizes and rigged games. Thankfully, this candy floss maker comes to the rescue! If you're curious, candy floss is actually a predecessor of sorts to the now commonplace cotton candy. It was prepared by melting sugar and using forks to make strings, which were then served as a dessert. They should now be mistaken for the dental tool of the same name, as flossing your teeth with candy sounds like a sure-fire recipe for disaster.

Hello Kitty Pez Dispensers

I don't think I have ever met a person who doesn't love Hello Kitty. They may have no idea where the character is from, but at the very least I can squeeze a "That's cute" out of them. Why not show off your love for Hello Kitty, then, in candy form, with these Hello Kitty Pez dispensers. They are glossy, shiny, and dispense delicious if chalky flavored pieces of candy whenever you like! What's not to love here?

Angry Birds Cake

Speaking of things that just about everyone loves, this now-famous mobile app has been redone endlessly, from giant plush angry birds to seasonal games. Now, you can have your Angry Birds Cake and eat it, too.

Awesome Harry Potter Stuff For Witches and Muggles Alike

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:28:59 +0000

If you haven't watched the Harry Potter movies or read the books at some point, chances are you are still living under a rock. Well, get yourself out from the rock, read the books, watch the movies, and get ready for some fun Harry Potter swag. I have compiled a brief but entertaining list of Harry Potter items that any fan would be happy to have. Almost any fan, that is, the Harry Potter toilet seat might be a bit much for some.

Harry Potter Wands

No wizard worth his salt travels without a wand, so why not make sure you have the best of the best. You can choose the wand from any of your favorite heroes and/or villains, each with its own distinct shape and charm. Best of all, the wands aren't simply for show, they also provide some functionality in mimicking spell effects. When you click a button on the bottom of the wands, you can actually see the effect of the spell you have decided to cast. Similar to the movie, but probably not nearly as effective or flashy. These Harry Potter wands are a must-have for any serious fan out there.

Harry Potter 8-bit Game

The Harry potter games were well received by younger gamers but lacked the depth and precision that older gamers have come to expect. The one exception to that would be the Harry Potter Lego games, which have been fun for just about anyone who can pick up a controller. Why not go for some old time fun then with this 8 Bit Harry Potter game. Now you can explore the world from a new perspective, much akin to the original Final Fantasy. Sometimes, older is better.

Harry Potter, the Pooch Who Lived

Is it torturing your pet to dress them up like a nerdy looking wizard? The question is certainly worth asking. I don't think I could get my cat to put on those Harry Potter glasses, so kudos to the obedient dog here. The Pooch Who Lived is certainly a cute tribute to the franchise, at any rate. I hope he enjoys his time at Dogwarts, maybe that's next in line after the Deathly Hallows wraps up.

Harry Potter Pillows

While personally, I wouldn't jump at the chance to sleep on top of Harry Potter's face, I am sure there are enough fans out there who disagree. This set of Harry Potter Character Pillows include all of your favorites from the books, including Harry, Ron, and Hermoine. Not a bad day's work for your average etsy shop owner, if I do say so. Since these are handmade, you are probably out of luck if you ask for thread count and the stuffing contents, but maybe the designer would be happy to oblige.

Harry Potter Amigurumi

If you are looking for a little more variety than what the pillows can provide in terms of characters, not to worry. These Harry Potter Amigurumi dolls contain a much wider variety, and the list expands out to include the main villains as well. Severus Snape is included along with the Weasley twins, so why not have all of your characters with a happy home. I think the full set for any fan would include these dolls surrounding the your pillows at night. If you are going to embrace Harry Potter madness, you might as well go all out, am I right?

Harry Potter Toilet Seat

At last we come to it, the ultimate in Harry Potter Fandom. I know that sounds like an outrageous statement, but only a true fan would actually want to decorate his or her porcelain throne with the likeness of just about every Harry Potter character from the movie. This Harry Potter toilet may give you some odd looks from your friends and family, but one too many cracks about your awesome toilet seat and you can go ahead and erase their memory. Just make sure you don't make the common mistake of using a busted wand to do so. I hear sometimes that doesn't work out well, it ends up backfiring, and then you are stuck without any memories. That's what I have heard, anyway, it may or may not be true.

5 Unusual Chair Designs

admin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:38:37 +0000

The fun thing about decorating your own home is that you really have free reign in terms of the style you want to portray. If you happen to be an ubergeek like myself, gaming chairs tend to be a lot of fun, but there are an innumerable number of other themes you can opt for as well. From chairs that are flashy to those that aim for subtle simplicity, we have featured a number of odd, quirky designs that any chair enthusiast can get behind.

Innovative Coffee Bench

Ok, so, technically, this isn't a chair in and of itself, but as you can see from the design, this innovative coffee bench has the ability to be a chair or a bench depending on your preference and the number of guests you have to sit on it. The coffee bench is a collaboration between product designer Karolina Tylka and an interior architect, Szymon Nawoj, to create an unpretentious, brilliantly functional bench that could easily convert to a pair of chairs, side tables, or anything the consumer can come up with. The final product is rather impressive, if quite odd looking. I wonder how well the pieces stay in place when you sit on them.

Disco Chair

In a completely different vein than what we saw with the coffee bench, this disco chair is innovative in a flashy, retro kind of way. If you have always thought of yourself as a bit edgy and you're willing to put up with a few guests who claim to be blinded by the color, this chair is for you. The chair was designed by London-based firm Kiwi & Pom. It is constructed from 200 meters of electroluminescent wire. The end result is a chair that looks like a disco ball rainbow, although I am not sure what the weight capacity is for someone who would like to sit on it.

Puppo Chair

Any fan of the Transformers series should be able to appreciate a chair that can convert from an ordinary chair into a table, a footrest, or even a place for storage. If you like your gadgetry to be able to serve as many functions as possible, then this Puppo chair is definitely for you. It would also be a nice segway into the downsizing movement, as the chair would be well suited to spaces where you don't have a lot of square footage to work with such as a dorm or Tumbleweed house. Puppo sounds an awful lot like a young dog who is also a super hero or something, though, rather than a chair.

Paper Darwin Chair

A chair constructed from paper that can be torn away to reveal a completely different design may sound environmentally callous at first, but hear me out. This Darwin chair is made with a swinging structure and 200 printed sheets of Tyvek, each with its own unique design printed on it. Tyvek is actually a light weight recyclable paper product originally created by Dupont, so you don't have to worry as much about damaging mother nature. Best of all, you can change the entire look of the chair simply by tearing off a layer and opting for a new one. Just make sure that you like at least half of the designs in the chair, lest you be tearing away all of your hard earned money 10 sheets at a time trying to find a pattern that fits with the rest of your decor.

Wood Stump Furniture

When you think about it, a piece of furniture designed to look exactly like a tree stump doesn't really sound all that appealing. I mean, most tree stumps are usually in some sort of state of decay, with a variety of bug life inside them. Still, if you own an old cabin in the mountains, then this wood stump furniture could very easily find a home there. The furniture is constructed from wood, urethrane casters and stainless steel, so I would imagine the point about the bugs is moot here. A brave soul could also place this in their apartment or regular house to give it a more natural look, I suppose, but I admit it wouldn't be my first choice if I decided to do some redecorating.

Unconventional Fitness Equipment

admin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:49:55 +0000

Just about everyone is looking for a quick, easy way to stay in shape. Unfortunately, I have news for you: Staying shape simply isn't that easy, and the bottom line is you need to burn off more calories than you take in for it to work properly and to start losing weight. That doesn't mean that there aren't some funa nd interesting ways to get that calorie burn going, however. Here are some unconventional pieces of exercise equipment that you may not have though of before.

Wobble Board

I did a double take when I first set my eyes on this device. Admittedly, it looks a lot like a flying saucer, and if someone told me I have the option of wobbling the pounds off, you could color me skeptical. While the number of calories burned is likely questionable, it still has its uses. The Wobble board is designed to help you build up your core and work on your balance, both important issues if you want to stay happy and healthy.

Energy Sport

Often times you may find yourself on a stationary bike, endlessly pedaling away working toward a better you, when you think to yourself: "I'm burning a whole lot of energy for no particular reason." Well, now the Energysport can step in and help you power whatever device you like by harvesting your kinetic energy and turning your body into a power plant! The device fits snugly onto the wheels of your bike, and any energy you generate can be tucked away for use charging cell phones, digital cameras, or even your Wiimotes. The real question, of course, is just how much energy you can manage to generate while you are out and about pedaling. If it is enough to charge your phone for a full shot, then it could be worth it. If you need to pedal for 3 hours for 15 minutes of charge time, then I will probably pass.

Canine Treadmill

You aren't the only one in your house that could use the exercise, and if you are feeling particularly lazy, you may not want to take them out for a walk again. Instead, you could always toss them on the canine treadmill, which will give your puppy or dog a healthy workout and keep them going strong for years to come. As you might expect, though, treadmills do not come cheap, so give this some serious thought before you decide to opt for this piece of pet machinery.

Underwater Treadmill

As you have probably noticed, movement underwater is much more difficult than on land, but it also poses interesting challenges for your body. Aquatic exercises have been made famous largely for elderly folk who need to get exercise but can't handle the strenuous, high impact activities such as running or jump rope. Instead, exercising under the sea like this underwater treadmill makes your body work hard without putting much stress on your joints. You'll be huffing and puffing doing activities that would be a snap on land.

Second Life Virtual Exercise

If you have ever given exploring Second Life a go, you probably noticed a number of unsavory activities available to you. Yet for all of its infamous reputation, there are a number of genuinely interesting things to do in the world. I highly recommend a much more thorough sweep of the popular destinations, and be sure to look up Tech Warfare as well. Fantastic game, if I do say so. If you are looking for ways to collaborate with Second Life while getting your daily workout in as well, consider exercising within Second Life. This can be accomplished via a stationary bike with a number of sensors attached to it, including the front wheel and handlebars. Dubbed "ET," this handy device lets you fly throughout the world of Second Life while pedaling away in the real world as well. The experience would be truly unique, given the incredible and odd landscapes and structures the denizens of the world have managed to put together. I'm not sure it's something I would invest a significant amount of money in, but it definitely sound like a lot of fun and an easy to way to burn some extra calories.

Finding Nemo: Fun Fish Tank Mods

admin — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:14:19 +0000

Since buying my first house, I had to sadly accept the fact that my aquarium would need to be put on hold until such a time that I found a spot for it at the new place. Now that my fishies have been given away, I find myself pining for an aquarium once again, and I am already planning to setup a new fish residence at some point in the future. That got me to thinking that not just any aquarium will do, it will have to be something truly unique and unusual. I would like it to be something particularly geeky in terms of theme, but there are tons of fishtank mods out there that are bright, colorful, and downright awesome. Here are a few that caught my eye.

USB Aquarium

If you are looking to setup your own fishtank and space available i running out, consider this USB aquarium. Rather than need to setup a filter, light, plugs, and so on, you can just plug the USB cord into your PC and you are good to go. It would be a great way to decorate your office or even your desk at work if they'll allow it. You may want to to turn the nature sounds off for a workplace environ, however. The overhead light is adjustable, and filtration is provided via an under-gravel filtration system and low voltage pump. If that functionality isn't enough for you, then you are also equipped with a clock, LCD calendar, and the date. All in a day's work for your friendly desktop aquarium.

Nike Air Abuku Fishtank Shoe

I would imagine you wouldn't be doing much sprinting in this Nike Air Abuku shoe, which as you can see is a lot more than meets the eye. Part of the NIKE78 project, which challenges designers to redefine what Nike shoes are capable of, I have to admit having a shoe shaped aquarium would be the perfect gift for an avid runner.

Fish Tank Toilet

At first glance, you might think that this toilet makes for a great unusual place of residence for your fish, but it probably isn't functional. In actuality, the clever designer behind this mod has the aquarium built around the perimeter of the toilet, and the flush tank is integrated behind it. I think it might be a little uncomfortable to have a school of fish hanging out, watching you do your business, but I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would not be bothered by it.

Hanging Aquarium

When you think of the average aquarium, a lot of words like unwieldy and wide probably spring to mind. A clever designer took these usually accurate words for a fish tank and turned them upside down with this hanging aquarium mod. The aquariums, as you might expect, do run on the high end of fish tank prices, but that's what you'll pay for a luxurious look and the ability to have your fish hang out anywhere. In your kitchen, in your family room, or even above your computer. These unique aquariums have the ability to go wherever you do, and the filtration system fits neatly into stainless steel tubes. Just make sure that it is properly installed, because a couple hundred pounds of fish-filled water and debris would probably make a mess of any room.

Mac G4 Cube Fish Tank Mod

In all my years in dealing with technology, I learned quickly that Apple/Mac fans are rabid in their fanaticism and questioning any aspect of that is a complete waste of time. You might as well roll with it, and get them a fish tank that a true Mac fan can enjoy. This Mac G4 Cube fish tank shows us that the inside of a computer case also has the ability to sustain life under the right circumstances. Now all they need is to take it one step further and have the computer built into the center of the tank. Such coolness would be beyond my capability, but hey if they can build a fishtank into a functional toilet than building a fishtank around a computer simply can't be that much more difficult.

Unique Cookie Cutter Designs for Tasty Art

admin — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:00:19 +0000

I have always thought of cookie dough as a type of edible clay. The fact that it starts off so squishy makes it ncie and moldable, allowing you to make your cookies into a variety of shapes and sizes. Luckily for us geeks, that means that we can make a great number of nerdy expressions as well, from ninjas to our very own "Homemade" stamp of approval. I put together a short list of my personal favorites, but your mileage may vary depending on your preference and genre of choice.

Homemade Cookie Stamper

If you don't cook very often, like myself, then chances are you might need to persuade your friends and family that yes, you did in fact make these yourself. Thankfully, these homemade cookie stampers are happy to come to your rescue! It also adds a little more to the "comfort" in comfort food, knowing that the delicious treat you're about to consume was made by you from scratch. If you want to get creative, I'm sure these could be easily used for other fluffy creations like pancakes or maybe to put your stamp of homemade approval on waffles.

Ninja Bread Man Cookie Cutters

As we all know, ninjas are deadly and silent, and they're also incredibly violent. Points for you if you get the reference, but suffice it to say that these Ninja Bread Man Cookie Cutters are a great way to show off your stealthy ninja spirit without all the arduous training and assasination. The cutters also come in three distinctly different ninja poses, which means that you can setup your very own battle on a cookie pan near you! Kids are also sure to get a kick out of the ninjas, and will likely be setting up epic duels to the death on their plates. Then again, the winner still gets eaten, so victory is bittersweet.

Pac-Man Cookie Cutters

Pacman is, and will always be, known as one of the most popular video games of all time. Even know, decades later, people who never even saw an arcade machine know who Pacman is. As a result, there has never been a shortage of Pacman swag to go around, and why not use him a in a medium he's suited for? Now that eater of dots gets eaten with these Pacman Cookie cutters. You could easily setup your own baked game of Pacman, as the ghosts are included, and setting up your own dots to eat would be a snap.

St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Cookie Cutter

While it is technically true that St. Patrick's day passed us by some time ago, that doesn't mean that there isn't a place for the Irish spirit year round. This St. Patrick's Day Cookie Cutter may be designed for the holiday, but it'll be a welcome addition to your collection year round. Featured in our list of St. Patrick's day gadgets, you too can have the luck of the Irish infused into a delicious cookie. Now if I could only get it to actually work for me.

Bandai Cook Joy Pack Sandwich Maker

While the Bandai Cook Joy Pack may be designed for sandwiches, they could very easily be conscripted into use for cookies as well! The pack comes with a wide array of delicious choices for your culinary creations, including a cute little piggy, an apple, a bear face, or a smiling face to brighten your day. Each has it's own distinct charm, but I think the smiling face would be my personal favorite. The variety of cutters means that you could easily fit the molds into a number of themes as well, from Spring time to the holiday season. The little pig mold would be a great addition to a Fourth of July Barbeque. The smiling face mold would be perfect for a happy occasion lke a wedding or birthday party. The Apple would be a welcome hop-along to an afternoon picnic at the park. You can tailor each mold to whatever occasion you see fit, which gives you a lot more flexibility the next time you are preparing to cook for an event.

5 Ring Designs For Any Awesomely Nerdy Gal

admin — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:43:11 +0000

For many, the ring serves as an imortant repetroire of their wardrobe. Reaching far beyond the more traditional roles we think that rings take on, such as weddings, they have also grown into an expression of who we are. If, like me, you happen to be a geek, then there are a variety of designs out there that should perk your interest. I have put together a short list of my favorites, although it should hardly be considered exhaustive.

The Heart Rate Ring

While it is true that, in general, the culture of geeks isn't known for an emphasis on physical fitness, many of us in the community know better. Gaming may, according to a variety of studies, sharpen the mind, but keeping your body in top condition should be considered equally as important. For that, we have a handy little gadget that fits on your finger, the Heart Rate Ring.The designers intelligently kept flashiness to a minimum, as the primary function of the ring is to keep your hear rate monitored, but it does a whole lot more. It can also calculate distance traveled, the amount of calories you have burned, and whether your heart rate is staying within the recommended level of fitness.

Ring Mouse

It's a computer mouse! No, it's a ring! Actually, they are now one in the same with this ring mouse. I have to admit that the device idea is rather clever, as it is a mouse that attaches to your ring finger and moves around your computer screen via finger movement. It might look a little unwieldy, but I can imagine a number of scenarios where this would be quite useful. If you are in tight quarters, for example, like on a train, bus, or plane, you can navigate around your operating system much more easily than you would with a standard pad.

Pro Thumb Wrestling Ring

While not a ring on the most literal sense, I found it hard not to include this in the list. Thumb wrestling is a time-honored tradition for those of you who get bored on long car trips, so why not get an official competitive ring to settle the score once and for all. It also ensures that you won't fall prey to the classicly deceptive "sneak attack" using an index finger. Are you a worthy enough opponent? There is only one way to find out with this Pro Thumb Wrestling Ring!

Crystal Ring For Door Security

I have to admit when I first saw this crystal ring I thought it looked something taken directly from a James Bond movie. This little gem also serves as an important layer of security in your fight against crime. Dubbed "OpenMe," the gem utilizes a 3D scanner that allows you to open specifically designed safety locks. This means that you can't really ever lose your keys, but it is worked intot he rock on your finger. Nice. This personal security agent might not be for everyone, but definitely gets points for the coolness factor alone.

Lego Radar Rings

Oh legos, is there a facet of our lives that your simple intuition can not work its way into? I would argue no, as the elegant simplicity of these Lego Radar Rings go a long way in proving that. The pieces look like they were salvaged from one of the older, more classic Lego sets. Rather than loading up the proepr piece on your ship, however, now you can express your love for all things Lego on whatever finger you like. I am sure there are plenty of other Lego pieces out there that could be converted into a ring of this kind, so bust open your favorite lego set and get to converting! Personally, I'd like to mount one of the pet parrots or monkeys from the pirate set. Alternatively, I could also go for something from the dark ages, perhaps an emblem or crest neatly mounted on a ring would also look equally cool. Whether you are a Sci-fi fan or just want some geeky fun to wear around, chances are there is a Lego set out there to accomodate your tastes.

9 Original Origami Models

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:35:30 +0000

This is a tribute to an ancient art form, as well as a guide for how to be more zen, for all that folding is sure to bring inner peace, eventually.

Origami Cascading Bridal Bouquet

Origami was once used only for religious ceremonial purposes due to the high cost of paper. For instance, Origami butterflies were often seen at Shinto weddings. I love the whole idea of Origami at weddings. You could experience a much more unique ceremony with something like this Origami bouquet. Anyone and everyone have bouquets of fresh flowers that, while pretty, soft, and fragrant, soon wither and die. This Origami bouquet could be around for generations, though. Since it takes three full days of work to make, and costs about $350, you probably should hang on to it. This could definitely become a hot wedding trend, and maybe you should think about becoming a bit of a pioneer. Incidentally, I believe you could buy a lovely display case for this Origami bouquet, which would be a beautiful bedroom decoration and tribute to your biggest day, here.

Origami Napkins

Most have seen a fancifully-folded napkin or two. Why stick to conventional napkin decor, though? Turn your paper linens into works of art, which will accompany your artistically prepared meals very well. Not to mention that practicing this $6.99 skill will result in you obtaining quite the little bar trick. That cute bartender you frequent will definitely start to remember the adorable chick that even leaves her trash looking pretty. Then, after he marries a stunning you holding an Origami bouquet, you can help him get raises and promotions by folding beautiful napkins at dinner parties that his bosses attend. That is part of the American dream, right?

Origami Sticky Notes

Art can speak volumes more than words, so leave your most beloved some masterful art forms rather than ordinary notes! You can easily learn to fold simple objects into existence by following the instructions. Don’t limit yourself to the same old generic words. Fold generic shapes instead! There is a legend that those who fold one thousand Origami cranes will see the fulfillment of their heart’s desire. That’s a lot of $4.99 packs of sticky notes. Although, this may be a good time to mention the idea of having one thousand folded cranes at your wedding, in order to best achieve marital bliss.

Origami Colander

You are going to have to do some cooking if you want a happy marriage, so if you’re not already proficient in the artful science, you may as well start learning now. Of all the kitchen devices out there, colanders are among the most super useful, yet can present a bit of a storage problem in smaller kitchens. However, this handy $19.99 Origami colander will unfold so you can store it flat, which I think is totally awesome! I personally feel that all other plastic colanders are now obsolete. 12 innovative hinges and just four small latches ensure that this item will always be able to find a home in your cabinets or drawers!

Origami DVD Player

Moving right along. We just touched on the whole idea of dinner so what’s next? A movie! Someday soon, you could purchase something like this amazing innovation. The technology is quite elaborate, so we won’t get into it. Feel free to look the whole thing up, though. Soon we all be able to fold up all our favorite gadgets and take them with us. Won’t that be great? That would definitely make moving easier.

Feno

The Feno folds smaller than other notebooks since it has a flexible screen that allows the display to fold. The result is a notebook that is way more transportable than basically any other computer. The mousepad pops out, which is another alternative feature of this non-traditional computer.

iPad Origami Sleeve

If you really like your iPad, try this $35 Origami sleeve that folds into an iPad stand. Now your case can protect your beloved gadget in a useful fashion.

Origami Creature Kit

An Origimatic existence is exceptional because it is so adaptable. If something doesn’t work out, you can simply press out the wrinkles and start fresh. Reinvent shapes and define substance with character for only $6.00. Create your own dimensions and enjoy such existence with the Origami Creature Kit. This collection of goodies could be a great activity to share with someone special …

Space Origami Set

This set will teach you how to make a variety of space-related objects. You can learn how to make a rocket, for example, with the multi-color folding paper that is available in this $8.99 kit. You could also fold, among other things, a lunar module, satellite, and astronaut. 32 full-color pages will be available for your learning and folding pleasure. Anyone could enjoy this activity! Okay, so, here’s something to help you get on your way to inner peace - it’s a joke: “How many Zen Buddhists does it take to fold a light bulb? Two. One to fold a light bulb and one not to fold a light bulb (Dorothy Engleman).” Now, you have a lot of folding (and not folding) ahead of you. To best accomplish your goals, you need to learn How To Stay Caffeinated. Also, survey says that if you read this article then you are also interested in this one: Her Star Wars Kitchen. You’ll see.

Star Wars Gear For Ultimate Fan Girls

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:46:53 +0000

While I have no doubt that the fanbase for the Star Wars movies, books, and video games skews towards the male side, there are still hundreds of thousands of female fans of the galaxy far, far away as well. If you happen to be one of those among the ranks, we have put together a short list of Star Wars stuff that any female fan will enjoy.

Victorian Star Wars Portraits

As a guy, I generally consider the Star Wars Universe to be full of badass things like Jedi, Sith, all sorts of super-powerful space hardware, and the like. Yet if you look beyond the surface, there are also some things that are a bit more refined than the brutishness of intergalactic combat. These Victorian Star Wars Portraits, for example, take your average bloodthirsty killer and turn then into upstanding gentlemen and ladies. I have to admit the throwback looks is rather hilarious, but C-3P0 is my personal favorite. The question is, could you really get Boba Fett to wear a top hat? I get the feeling he wouldn't be into that sorta thing, since he's mostly busy being the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy and all that.

Star Wars Slippers

Couldn't we all use a little wisdom from the force when we first wake up in the morning? Yoda's calming presence can now get you on the right side of the bed with these Star Wars Slippers. If there are days where you feel like force gripping someone to death, the dark side is also an option as they include a Darth Vader pair of slippers as well. Admittedly, the dark side doesn't look nearly as comfortable, but at least your family will have fair warning when they see the Darth Vader booties come out. That's when you know it is time to take cover.

Star Wars Babies

Whether you are a guy or a girl, there's no question that dressed up little kids are downright adorable. These Star Wars Babies are a testament to that fact, and the costumes are perfect. As you might expect, Yoda is a popular character for parents to choose, and my oldest brother dressed up his newborn son as Yoda for Halloween recently. Other characters are around as well, though, from this mini Stormtrooper to the mighty baby girl Chewbacca. I'm not sure if I would be proud to be a baby Chewbacca when I grow up, so the parents might want to hide that one away for their own enjoyment. My nephew also went to a recent convention as General Grievous, and he was the life of the party there. Little kids in Star Wars getups are just that much more awesome.

Cute Animals in Star Wars Costumes

My cat is so old and grumpy these days that I seriously doubt that I could get her into a Darth Vader costume, but there are more tolerant animals out there, it appears. These cute animals dressed up in Star Wars costumes are hilariously cute, and they run the gambit in terms of characters. The black pug dressed up was Darth Vader is my personal favorite, if only because he or she looks like they know they are going to be the subject of much humiliation, and are really just waiting for the biscuits to arrive. I'd also like to know how they got that cat to wear a Yoda costume, and why said cat couldn't put on a less "I'm going to kill you" expression when they did so. The Collie dressed up as Princess Leia also gets some serious points for greatness.

Star Wars Wedding

While I am sure there are plenty of guys out there who would entertain the idea of having a Star Wars themed wedding, the number of female participants willing to do the same is rather low. Still, these brave souls managed to get everyone together and dressed up for this wedding from a galaxy far, far away, and the array of characters present is staggering. I wonder how their Aunt May took it when she showed up in normal garb. Only the most hardcore of Star Wars fans would make the one day they get to celebrate the rest of their life in such a fashion.

Geeky Bead Creations

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 14:53:27 +0000

I am not entirely sure why,but I have been a big fan of fused bead art since I was a kid. This could be because I feel like the process is simple enough to pick up for kids, while adults can have fun creating more elaborate designs as well. If you are curious as to the potential of Perler beads, you have come to the right place, as these geeky bead creations display some of the best designs I have come across.

Gameboy Sprite Set

I have many fond memories of my original Gameboy, even as I still have nightmares about trying to adjust the light in darker conditions so I could see what the hell is going on in the screen. Still, this Gameboy Perler Bead Sprite Set does a great job of re-creating the Gameboy magic. The beads are arranged in a grid to form an image similar to the original sprite, which are then fused together by heating. The end, result, as you can see, is a 3 dimensional image of the classic handheld console. Now if I could only figure out how to insert cartridges into it.

Perler Bead Mosaic Paintings

Generally when you think mosaic, you have images of sand, stone, and/or tile, but these Perler Bead Mosaic Paintings have a flavor all their own. I don't want to think about how many beads it took to put these incredibly detailed pieces together, but they look fantastic. The original creator works as a full time sign maker, and you can tell by the quality of the craftsmanship. I haven't gotten beyond making 8 bit Nintendo sprites myself, but this guy is in a league of his own.

Perler Bead Video Game Consoles

If the Gameboy wasn't enough to satiate your appetite for awesome looking bead creations, then look no further than these Perler Bead Video Game Consoles. All of your favorite console creations are included, and no one is safe. Even some of the more obscure consoles such as the Sega Dreamcast are shown, and it would be fun to put together a set of these for your local office cubicle. My personal favorite is the Coleco Vision 3D console. Seriously, who even remembers what that was or what it did anymore? It was obscure at the time it came out, but not it is relegated to being a relic. The design seems to lend itself well to a bead format, though.

Pac-Man Wood Notebook

While technically not a pure bead creation, the beads are still an integral part of this Pac-man notebook design. I mean what is Pac-man going to eat if he doesn't have beads on there? Nothing, that's what! This is an incredibly unique way to show off your Pac-Man spirit. I am sure you have come across Pac-man notebooks before, but probably nothing as interactive looking as this one. If geek is in fact chic, then this notebook is the way to go.

NES Mike Tyson's Punchout Characters

8-bit games from the original NES console lend themselves well to the Perler bead format, but there are few games that would do so as well as the original Mike Tyson's Punchout. These Perler bead sprites from Punchout are a testament to a bygone era. Everyone loved the hilariously scaled difficulty of the game, and working your way up to Mike Tyson was no easy to task. For a moment, you almost believe that a no-name Little Mac, despite his small stature, could stand up to the legendary Mike Tyson and win. Sure, we know that isn't very realistic, but the game was fantastic, and there are few that can match the original magic.
