  • Tagg GPS Pet Tracker

    If my dog ever manages to escape my backyard and run away, the last thing I want is to do is sit home and hopelessly wait for a good Samaritan to read the pet tag and contact me.  My dog, a yellow lab, is so beautiful, and usually well behaved, that I imagine whoever finds…

  • Cool Custom SMART Cars

    At one time I wanted to buy a SMART car, but considering all I would have to give up to drive this thing, it better get significantly better MPG's than a Prius, and it doesn't.  In fact the SMART car only gets 33MPG city and 41MPG highway.  That sucks considering, I will fear for my…

  • Knit R2-D2 Sweater

    As much as I want a handmade knit R2-D2 Sweater, I won't be shelling out the $450.  Instead I will be calling Grandma, she can copy anything from a picture and should be able to knit this up in a week.  But if you don't have access to my Grandma (you shouldn't) you can buy…

  • Medea Vodka With Programmable Message Bottle

      Apparently the booze business has gone a bit crazy.  More often than not the bottles are so fancy that I buy them just for the "cool factor".  And more often than not they taste yucky.  I am not sure if I consider the Medea Vodka bottle as cool or not, but again I have…

  • Logitech S715i Review

        I am hopelessly addicted to portable iPod/iPhone docks.  They just make sense, you carry all of this music around in your pocket, time to share your tunes.  Read on for the full Logitech S715i Review.

  • Stainless Steel Straw

      Not the most exciting gadget on the planet, but novel none the less.  The Endurance Stainless Steel Drink Straws (Set of 4 for $9.95) should help you find your drink amongst the sea of plastic straws.  Not to mention, you shouldn't have to buy another straw ever again.

  • Glow In The Dark Jeans By Naked & Famous

    Yep, there is a company called Naked & Famous, and yep, they make a pair of glow in the dark jeans ($TBD).  The jeans have a phosphorescent coating which will naturally fade to make them even more unique with age. "Just charge them up in the light (can be natural sunlight or artificial bulb light)…

  • Electric Paper Airplane Conversion Kit

    Take your homemade paper airplanes into an electric airplane with this Electric Paper Airplane Conversion Kit ($19.99).  I was skeptical, but I think it might just be the best twenty bucks I spent (this week anyways).  The kit is very simple and durable.  It is made out of a carbon fiber body and snaps on…

  • Sprout Eco-Friendly Watches

    What makes a watch eco-friendly you might ask.  Well in the case of the Sprout Watches it means that the case and buckle are 100% biodegradable, Sprout uses natural bamboo dials, corn resins, 100% organic cotton straps, mercury free batteries, etc, There are a bunch of styles and colors to choose from, and the best…

  • Cool Container House

    I always like to see creative homes built from shipping containers.  Since the US continues to grow our trade deficit these shipping containers are stacking up at the ports.  Time to increase the shipping container house trend, I hope.  More pictures of this cool container home after the break.
