Samsung OmniaHD – First HD Video Cell Phone – 720P
I am a firm believer that the cell phone will eventually be your digital Swiss army knife. The cell phone of the future will, hopefully, have a HD video camera, high resolution still picture camera, MP3/MP4 Player and more. There are many attempts at this type of device… but they usually fall short on one […]

Packing for your next road trip has never been easier than with the Teddy Bear Bag. The Teddy Bear opens to show its hidden loot of; breath spray, flashlight, condoms, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, two joints (?), vodka, cigarettes, a lighter, and rope. A bit weird isn’t it. [Via]
Solar ChumAlong – Solar Charger With Built-In Sun Tracking System
For a solar charger to operate at peak efficiency, it always needs to be oriented towards the sun. So instead of just sitting there, pointed in the wrong direction while the sun slowly progresses across the sky, the SOLAR ChumAlong (chum?) continually re-orients itself so it’s always pointing at the brightest point in the sky. […]
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 […]
