Take this all with a grain of salt as I have never baked anything in my life. With that said, decorating with the squishy icing bag looks a bit messy and difficult. Enter the Kuhn Rikon Frosting Deco Pen (great name) which is battery powered and comes with 3 refillable frosting cartridges. You can use any frosting in this Swiss (hence the goofy Kuhn Rikon name) frosting gun. Yours for only $30 here. Video of this gadget after the break.
It looks like the Apple iPad has its first real competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is Android based, has 3G and 802.11n, front and rear cameras, and should be hitting the shelves in the next few months.
Trying to pick that one knife to carry is tough… which is why (knife type dudes) have a few they rotate in and out of service. Kinda like girls with purses I guess. A good choice for those on a budget who just want one great knife should take a look at the Gerber Epic Knife.
The Gerber Epic Knife has a chrome-molybdenum stainless steel blade with a serrated edge, a blunt tip, a nylon handle, a locking sheath, and a bottle opener. The best part, other than the bottle opener, is the price… only $30 here.
At first glance I thought I was looking at a dental instrument or some type of medical device. The picture above shows George Lee’s latest design “a date with wine” which is basically a wine stopper with a twist-a-date feature. Not sure why but I want one… even though I drink every bottle I open in one sitting. TMI? More cool pictures of the wine stopper with a date after the break.
Not sure how Apple keeps packing so much in to such small packages. The newest (6th generation iPod Nano) is the furthest leap in design to date. The click wheel is gone and now the Nano sports a full touchscreen. There are real buttons on the side for volume and a clip on the back. The new iPod Nano will have a 24 hour playback time on a full charge. All of this was done while shrinking the size by 46 percent and the weight by 42 percent.
$149 for the 8GB and $176 for the 16GB.
The chart above (and here in full size) shows how each car manufacturer is connected to one another. They sure are incestuous little fellows. Several of the relations are well known… some are a bit shocking. Porsche is owned by Volkswagen, Lotus is owned by Proton, GM is 11.7% Canadian owned, Toyota owns Daihatsu… you get the idea.
New York Tap Water comes pre-loaded with tiny crustaceans called copepods, or as I like to call them “mini shrimp”. Yum. Talk about a deal… you get seafood with every free glass of NYC tap water.
The Copepods are invisible to the human eye but can be seen under a microscope with some H&E Stain.
I recommend getting a good home water filter because this type of thing seriously creeps me out. Wish I didn’t know.
I am a bit crazy when it comes to trying to squeeze a bit of extra mpg’s out of my daily commute. I tend to coast whenever possible and try and anticipate traffic ahead to eliminate excessive accelerator or brake pedal use. It has become a bit of an obsession… a bit like a video game for me. The nice folks at Lemur Vehicle Monitors know my type and made the perfect product for people like myself… the EconoDriver. The EconoDriver helps you figure out exactly how much you are spending/wasting on fuel.
Here comes the good part… wait for it… wait for it… We have a unit to giveaway! Yep a free Lemur EconoDriver for the lucky winner. All you have to do is post a comment (as many as you like) and a winner will be chosen at random from the list on Friday, September 3rd. (only available to those in the US)
Not sure if this is a great idea or a horrible one… but it sure got my attention. An iPhone case that has a built-in bottle opener, the iBottleopener. For $19.95 you can get your hands on one of these iPhone bottle opener cases. Currently only shipping for the 3G and 3Gs models… iPhone 4 case coming soon.
Looks like ViewSonic is jumping on the Android-based tablet bandwagon. The ViewPad 7 tablet is in the works and will feature a 7-inch screen, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, microSD slot, microphone, speaker, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a mini USB port, and a front and rear facing camera. Yawn.
