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.

People Are Wrong… Just Wrong…
If you really want to torture your pet further than you already do, you could get a wig for your cat or dog. But don’t… it is just wrong… soooo wrong. “And since dogs can’t talk, I’ll translate what they think of the idea. “&*^% you. Seriously, I’d rather be raped by the cat.” More […]
Dual Exhaust Flame Thrower Kit
In the old’n days you would just route a couple spark plugs back to your exhaust pipe, and because the car ran so rich (sloppy) it would ignite the unspent fuel, and shoot flames. Oh wait… that is exactly what this kit is doing. Folks, I would normally reward such slick marketing… but not when […]
Anti Monkey Butt Powder?
Is there really a market for this? I like to think that general good hygiene (aka shower and soap) negates the need for butt powder. But (no pun intended), I was on a 5 day hike with some college buddies, and the guy directly in front of me could have used about 5 bottles of […]
Caffeinated Potato Chips, Um No Thanks
I, unlike my co-workers (you know who you are), do not need to visit Starbucks to function in the morning…. thank goodness as I have enough vices to deal with. But for those of you who love your caffeine happiness but just can’t be bothered with another caffeinated drink, how about some lemon flavored potato […]
Virtual Girlfriend In Your Bed
Drew Burrows, a lonely NYU student created INBED, a 2-D virtual girlfriend that is projected onto your bed from the ceiling. For the amount of time and money spent making this contraption, you think he would have been able to score a real girl (or a hooker?). The projected girlfriend interacts with you, if […]
NANA Saver – Banana Holder/Saver?
A couple of thoughts kept swirling through my simple mind as I read this. Eat the entire damn banana… and there are too many inventors in the world. “NANA Saver™ Banana Holder Eliminates waste so you can enjoy half now, and half later. Keeps a sliced banana fresher, longer by reducing exposure to air. Hinged […]
