MEDUSA – Another Non-Lethal Weapon? Right.
Its official, all the people who mocked my tinfoil hat are now screwed! Looks like a gadget from Sierra Nevada Corporation named MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) or (Marketing Executives Dramatically Using Stupid Acronyms) is being pitched as a Remote Personnel Incapacitation System (RPIS). This “non-lethal” weapon is based on the well established […]
IZAP UV Toothbrush Sanitizer – Get The Poop Off Of Your Toothbrush
I am a big fan of sanitizing everything… especially my toothbrush. Don’t think that running hot tap water on your toothbrush will kill all of the cooties. And, considering your toothbrush hangs out in the bathroom and fecal matter seems to hop surfaces like a little leapfrog… get this case… and quit putting poop in […]
NosQuito CT100-NS – Does Not Work!
Every year my family descends upon Lake Crescent in beautiful Oregon for our family reunion/4th of July celebration. This year was more of the same… camp fires, beer, wine, marshmallows, boating, fishing, etc… The main difference this year was the amazing amount of mosquitos, BIG aggressive mosquitos! There were so many mosquitos that it was […]
Panasonic SDR-SW20 Flash Camcorder Is Waterproof
Gotta love the new flash based camcorders. No tapes, no hard drive… all digital and can really take a beating. Panasonic’s latest, the SDR-SW20 is a waterproof camcorder that will perform to 5-feet. You won’t be doing any deepwater exploration, but you can at least peep the girls in the swimming pool. The camera costs […]
Milwaukee M-Spector Inspection Camera
Ever been working on something around the home or office… and wished you could just peak around the corner or down a tube to see what was there before you were forced to disassemble everything? I have… and the Milwaukee M-Spector Inspection Camera would have come in handy. The unit has a 3-foot long camera […]

Party-A-CarGo – Tunes And Beer
Let me start off by saying… (insert strong Borat accent) “I liiiike”! The Party-A-CarGo is a slice of happiness on your on your truck or SUV hitch. The unit comes standard with a CO2 Kegerator, booming stereo system, and it’s own battery. The unit starts off at $3,000 and goes up from there with cool […]
Zappos Uses Robots To Pull Orders
Zappos, the online footwear pusher is speeding things up in the warehouse, while putting people out of work, using robots to pull their orders. The Kiva Mobile Fulfillment System uses small orange robots to pull each order off of the shelf and deliver it to a human to stuff in a box. Seems like they […]
Twemco Flip Clock – Atomic Accuracy With Retro Looks
Twemco has been making this type of clock (the flip clock) for over 30 years. Now they have outfitted them with atomic accuracy via radio frequency. Add this to your retro tech list of must haves. Reminds me of the DMV in 1990. [Source]
Hope – The Maltese Rolling Dog
I guess “Hope” is an appropriate name for this Maltese puppy that was born with no front legs… but I think “Sad” may be more accurate. At least Hope has a new set of (model airplane) wheels to help her get around thanks to Southern Comfort Maltese Rescue and David Turnbill. “The wheeled device was […]
