Cocktail Chemistry Set… Cool

Very cool cocktail set that looks like a mad scientists lab.  I could have used this when I was in college, back then I was using old Taco Bell cups and straws.  The kit is available for less than $39 and comes with everything you need (minus the booze) to…

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…

Big Toys For Big Brother In UK

Friend of mine send me this pic of some anal retentive British Defense Ministry chap playing with what looks like a hover-copter. Apparently having Mother England covered with static surveillance cameras is not enough – time to upgrade the toys. At first look, this reminds me of one of those…

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…

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…
