I like gadgets that run off of non-standard power sources, like wind power, sun power, and water power. This radio, the H2O Shower Power Radio, gets its power from the water coming out of your shower head via a mini internal turbine. Expect to see this shower powered radio for…
According to HP's new CEO Leo Apotheker, "HP has lost its soul" and somehow hopes that putting the WebOS on every PC shipping in 2012 may help. HP computers will be able to run both a Windows OS and the HP webOS in the coming year. I think HP needs…

A bit goofy, but I like it. The concept faucet pictured above holds about one liter of water in the viewing tube. The idea is that you should be able to use that much water for a good hand and face washing, a great way to visualize conservation. Once…
Who doesn't want to fly? We, humans, constantly try and get the feeling of flying. We bungee jump, parasail, zip-line, base jump, sky dive, etc, Most of these thrills are expensive and some are down right dangerous. Granted the StreetFlyer bike pictured above isn't going to provide the same level…
