Great Depression Coming? Store Your Gold In The Underground Time Capsule
I know this is a kids toy… but I am stuffing my gold Indian head nickel collection in it and getting ready for the 2009 great depression. The underground time capsule by backyard safari is actually a cool design. First you bury the time capsule gadget in your backyard, then… if you want to add […]
Paco House – Jacked In The Box
I am never tired of humanity’s cheesy, pseudo eco-friendly, “artsy” attempts at futuristic house designs. Behold, the Paco House! Japan’s Jo (the Builder) Nagasaka and Schemata Architecture has come with this prefab hell-box for the living. It’s a friggin white crate with a lid –Jack In The Box called, he wants his crib back. The […]
Antifreeze Ice Cream Scoop
I am addicted to ice cream, there I said it. Sometimes our freezers temperature fluctuates and scooping the ice cream out of the tub is almost impossible with a standard spoon. I have already bent several spoons instead of waiting for the ice cream to warm up a bit. You can’t deny a ice […]
Transformer House Changes With The Push Of A Button
Designed by Architecture firm dRMM, the outer wall of the house moves along a 28 meter track and can sit over any part of main house’s 16-meters linear frame, or move to cover any part of the 7-meter annex, or the open space in front of the 5 meter garage. A greenhouse looking structure is […]
Shark Fin Ice Cubes
For some reason we keep bumping into cool ice cube trays. (Remember the AK-47 Ice Bullets, the Tetris Ice Cubes, or my favorite the IceOrb. This latest, the Shark Fin Ice Tray is pretty cool. Perfect for a beach themed party. They’re engineered like an iceberg so that the fin part always stays upright in […]
Make Your Own Slider Burgers
When I saw this product I wept. I love slider burgers, all the fat with (somehow) slightly less guilt. The mini-burger slider kit includes a slider mini-burger basket ($25), slider mini-burger press ($25), and a slider mini-burger cutter ($5). Simply genius!
Floppy Disc CD Sleeve
I don’t know if I’m quite ready to sacrifice my boxes of Commodore 64 floppies just yet (I wonder what their shelf life is anyways) but re-using them as CD sleeves seems about as useful a way to recycle them as any. Designer Adam Faja originally came up with the idea, and the sample you […]
Super Bright Projector – The Sanyo PCL-XF71
The Sanyo PCL-XF71 projector claims to be the brightest projector in its category at 10,000 lumens. Too bad the resolution is below 720P, coming in at 1024×768. The contrast ratio is a decent 3000:1, which will keep you from having to close every curtain in your house to watch TV. Yours for about $17,000.
Tea Stick Infuser
Tea drinkers, this is a great gadget for making single cups of tea with fresh tea bits. Pot smokers, this isn’t what you think it is… sorry. For about $19 you can get the Blomus Tea Stick Infuser, a stainless steel tea strainer. Put your tea bits into the infuser/strainer… close the gadget… and stir […]
Gerber Kick Axe Kicks Ass
For about $90 you can improve your survivalist tool box with this kick ass gadget… the Gerber Kick Axe. The Kick Axe is a 1.15 lb folding axe made of a metal bodied frame with a Teflon coated axe head. Look for the axe to become a reality around July 2009. Read on for detailed […]
