Motorized Spray Bottle – AKA Why We Are Fat
Do we really need this type of gadget? Is it so hard to squeeze the pump on a spray bottle that we need a motorized version? Lazy for the sake of lazy, AKA why Americans are fat. If you disagree with me, as I imagine the manufacturer Cepia may, you can buy the unit online […]
Drank – The Anti-Energy Drink
“Drank” the Anti-energy drink (purportedly popular in Houston) is starting to hit the convenience and liquor stores. This carbonated, grape-flavored beverage has melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips… all made to make you sleepy. I for one think this is pure silliness. The publicist for Drank “hears it’s good with vodka”… WTF? That is the […]
Future Retro Potty Pod House
Someone please tell me when will the fad for pseudo-futuristic retro organic idiocy go away?! Feast your eyes on this sample of architectural masturbation by Victor Vetterlein, cleverly titled Reboot (that’s what you do after too many beers or reading about this utopian tripe). Yes it’s another fully autonomous organically shaped self sustaining environment friendly […]
Eye Pod – Glory Hole?!
Nope its not a new Apple product for all you Church of Mac people, and it’s not a cosmopolitan-erudite reference about the London Eye attraction. In the action packed Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the “Eye Pod” is a walk-in box with a single glass lens that projects an upside down (it’s a lens, duh) image […]
Jesus Sports Statues

Cereal Straws?
I saw this at a friends house (Ray and Viv you ought to be ashamed of yourselves) over the weekend, and I wondered why anyone would buy this product. I mean, the last thing a kid needs after eating a sugary cereal is a sugary straw (?) to drink the milk with. What happened to […]
Convergence Gone Wrong, Mouse + Phone = Dumb
Dear Sony, I used to love your products., They were cutting edge and high quality (and expensive, but typically worth it)., But then you started doing really stupid things., Without going into too many details/products, let’s just point out one of your latest “stupid things”… the Sony VAIO Mouse Talk VN-CX1/B., The product combines a […]
Name This Gadget
Name this gadget contest. Don’t be yucky. And what will you win? Good question… I will work on that. ** The winner is… drum roll… wait for it…. wait for it…. – It’s the “Hand me that Wrench” by Amy (check your email for details).
World’s Largest LED Billboard At Times Square
The world’s largest LED billboard is being installed in NY at Times Square. The billboard will be 17-stories tall (212 feet high), weigh 250,000 pounds, and contains 12 million LED’s. The quantity of LED’s will allow some decent resolution. One of the first advertisers waiting to defile the skyline is Walgreens. I assume that […]
