Pratone (Lawn) Chair
Let me start off with the crazy price – $14,165 and a big WTF. I like the idea… but I was thinking more like $100 for a polyurethane giant lawn chair thingy. Oh well. [Source]
Self Balancing Unicycle
Focus designs have taken the general premise from the Segway (accelerometers and gyroscopes) to make a self-balancing unicycle (SBU). You control the SBU by leaning in the direction you want to go… the pedals are not actually used for pedaling. The SBU is not cheap… it will set you back $1,500 and will be available […]
Classy Beerpong Table
Leave it to the Californians (Knarate Industries) to try and make beer pong look like a classy game. The beerpong tables are customizable with your choice of stain color, cup markers, and even the logo. Brings me back to my college days… but in classy sorta way. In my best Borat accent, "I liiike".

Bluetooth Bracelet – Secret Incoming Call Alert
Another nifty Bluetooth gadget, the BluAlert ($49.99) Bluetooth Bracelet. This Bluetooth gadget will silently vibrate when you get an incoming phone call which can be sorta nice if you can deal with having to wear a bracelet. Still can’t bring myself to wear a Bluetooth headset like Craig. Even better, BluAlert acts like a security […]

The WaterCone is a simple and neat way to turn brackish or salty water into potable drinking water. Or you could always get the Watermill or the Lifesaver water purification gadgets. 1. Pour […]

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat connects to your wi-fi and allows you to control your houses temperature from anywhere you get an internet connection. The large touchscreen allows you to control the thermostats settings the old fashioned way (sorta) as well. Not cheap at $385… but Ecobee claims it will pay for itself in 12 to […]

Magic Cotton Candy Machine
Ame de Wataame cotton candy maker turns hard candy into cotton candy. Very cool. Take your favorite Jolly Rancher or other hard candy… pop it into the flux capacitor… wiggle a stick around inside the bowl and cotton candy appears out of thin air. Not cheap though, $159. Video after the break…
