GoCycle – Cool Electric Bike

Quick… you have until January to buy this bike for a $400 discount… the price (which already seems high to me) will go from $1,300 to about $1.700.  Yikes.  Still way cheaper than the Schwinn Tailwind eBike. The Gocycle electric bike is super light (most of the bike is injection…

New Lotus Evora – Finally A Lotus For Normal Sized People

Lotus apparently realized that they might gain more customers if you didn’t have to be under 5-foot tall to get into their car… I mean honestly have you ever tried to get into a Lotus Exige or Elise?  I am 6′ 3" tall and even if I wanted to buy…

Finger Socket Wrench

Let me count the ways this will not work.  Why/how does this type of stuff make it from the dumb idea that it is to a “working” prototype? First of all it is made of plastic!  Um… the nut is metal!  Second, if that nut has a bolt passing through…

Self Balancing Unicycle

Focus designs have taken the general premise from the Segway (accelerometers and gyroscopes) to make a self-balancing unicycle (SBU).  You control the SBU by leaning in the direction you want to go… the pedals are not actually used for pedaling. The SBU is not cheap… it will set you back…

Magic Cotton Candy Machine

Ame de Wataame cotton candy maker turns hard candy into cotton candy.  Very cool.  Take your favorite Jolly Rancher or other hard candy… pop it into the flux capacitor… wiggle a stick around inside the bowl and cotton candy appears out of thin air.  Not cheap though, $159. Video after…

Toilet Putting Green?

  Another colossal waste of time, money, plastic, and metal.  The Tee Time Toilet Potty Putting Green will set you back $17 (money that you could just send to me instead) and comes with a putting green, 2 balls, a mini golf club, cup with flag, and an occupied sign…
