iPhone App – Multi-Client IM App
Palringo is the first official multi-client IM (instant messenger) application for the iPhone. The program supports Google Talk/Jabber, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, iChat, and Gadu-Gadu. I just got done installing it… it takes a a bit to figure it out… but seems to work well once you get the settings right.
Silver And Gold Leathermans By Adrian Pallarols
Adrian Pallarols, a rather famous silversmith, has pointed his talent towards the Leatherman. The designs feature sterling silver and 18K gold and range from $240 to $40,000. Not sure what to think of a tool that usually costs around $50 being upgraded to $40,000…. wouldn’t want to use or carry it… would be to scared […]
Wolverine Claws
“Sideshow Collectibles is selling a prop replica of the Wolverine claws used by Hugh Jackman (or his stunt double) in the X-Men films. Instead of Adamantium, the replica claws are made from solid machined aluminum and include the stainless steel palm attachments which enabled the actors to wear the claws on set. Of course the […]
LED Lit Showerhead Tells You If Water Is Hot Or Cold
I almost thought this was a good idea… almost. Then I realized I can just put my hand into the stream of water… and shebang I can sense the temperature with my hand. No batteries, no basketball sized showerhead, no lights illuminating my nudity. If you think this is a good idea however, you can […]
Electric Mini Cooper Coming To The US In 2009
Jim McDowell, the Mini USA VP, said that the US will be getting the Mini in an electric version in Summer 2009. Very cool!
HowTo – Install Your Keys Into A Leatherman
Pyro222 a user at Instructables decided that carrying a Leatherman and his keys in separate bundles was just too much…. and I agree with him. Very cool “how to” with a bunch of keys and Leatherman ending up as one unit. Just don’t expect to have this in your carry on items when you fly. […]
Beer Shooter
One of the world’s most pretentious, French (yeah redundant) contemporary art museums, Palais de Tokyo, is hosting an expo named Superdome. Such poignant name was chosen because the Louisiana Superdome represents a “bridge that gaps entertainment and disaster” *cough, pretentious*. Yet in this expo littered with shallow symbolism and triteness something stood out – a […]
Waking Up To A Police Siren… Good Idea?
I know that some of you have actually been waken by the police… but this one should still scare you awake. For $15 might be worth a try. “This Sleep Squad Police Alarm Clock will have you jumping out of bed like the cops were on your tail! What better way to insure wakefulness an […]
Harley Davidson Museum
Looks like Harley-Davidson is celebrating 105 years of (so-so) motorcycle building with a new 20-acre museum. From the looks of things the museum (pentagram designed) is stunning. There are vintage bikes, a restoration area, a restaurant, cafe, and store. Admission will set you back $16. I just hope the dorks with the loud speakers on […]
BIC Disposable Cell Phones?
Not sure if I agree with the idea of more disposable electronic equipment… but BIC does. BIC, the maker of disposable pens and lighters is going to be retailing a disposable phone in Europe for about $80. The phones will come with 60-minutes of talk time and a charged battery. Sad.
