New iPhone Has Pictures Of Workers Who Made Them…

Looks like another iPhone came with pictures from the factory in China.  These look slightly more intentional.  At least the girl is cute… kinda like the girl who sang during the opening ceremonies for the 2008 Beijing Olympics (ha).

Palm Treo Pro – Is Palm Back?

Is Palm back?  I say, “not yet”.  Why?  Because Palm’s latest smartphone, the Treo Pro, is using, arguably, the worse phone platform – Windows Mobile.  The smartphone looks cool… it comes unlocked (Tri-band UMTS/Quad-band GSM), has a high-resolution color touch screen, built in Wi-Fi, GPS, removable battery, a microSDHC slot,…

First Time I have Ever Yearned For An Ice Cube Maker

Coolest ice maker/container I have seen in my short life. The IceOrb uses an internal cup to push the ice into the vertical cube holders. I read the description for this thing about 5 times and was still lost. Watch the video and you should get the idea. Not bad…

Portable Field Cooker Stove

I like this one… first time I have laughed out loud today.  Not so much that there is a goofy gadget that allows you to strap a portable stove onto a tree… but that the picture they chose to use is that of a man and his sheep.  Oh the…

Build Your Own Batmobile Tumbler

Bob Dullam, a pretty crafty fabricator, built himself his version of Batmans Tumbler.  He made the car from scratch, obviously, and claims the car gets 50mpg (just kidding). [Source] Via KSU

Kinderlite Disposable Campfire

I love camping… mainly because of the campfire.  Not much is better, for me, than  sitting around the campfire relaxing and zoning out.  The lighting of the fire has never really been a problem… put some paper under some kindling… then when the fire gets going add on some decent…

Chinese Porno Sinks

  This is what happens when you give a perverted contractor free reign to install new outdoor sinks.  Believe it or not, these are in China of all places.  I imagine they are out of commission during the Olympics as the Chinese put their best butt foot forward.

Bad Ass Golf Carts

Bad Ass Golf Carts in Las Vegas has some seriously trick golf cart options.  They offer everything from limousine stretch versions to lifted a full 14-inches.  The best part… they put 24HP Honda engines in the carts so they are reliable.  They aren’t cheap… the one I want starts at…

Solar Table

You may have noticed my solar fetish by now… I love solar!  The Sun Table is a stainless steel and teak table with a built in 64 Watt unbreakable (the unbreakable part is questionable) solar panel, and a rechargeable battery (4 hours of good sun will charge the battery).  The…
