Stupid Rumor – iPhone Nano Coming By Christmas

So I heard this from my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate who lives in England that there is an iPhone Nano in the making and it will be landing by Christmas. This was confirmed by an online article in UK so you know this shit is real. The product…

Robot Sub Competition Winners Announced

Although I was deeply disappointed at the absence of robot sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads, the 11th International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition was still awesome. Robotic subs competed in a variety of tasks showing off their technological prowess. This year a team from the University of…

Toyota Geeks It Up Segway Style – Winglet

As if Segway wasn’t lame enough, Toyota joined the lineup of Segway’s knockoffs with a gimp little entry called Winglet. Winglet sounds more like a Maxi Pad knockoff for tiny cooters but I digress. Since Sony scrapped most of its robotics division (yes kids they shot Aibo the dog), Toyota…

Toolkit For Women Is Lame

“If I can do it so can you.”  This is the tag line for “Barbara K!” who claims that it is her “desire is to inspire women to become more self-reliant and confident in their own abilities…”   Maybe she should start off by getting them a real tool kit instead…

Chrome Ferrari 599?

So sad to see this type of thing done to a Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano, but at least the car is stuck in the desert.  A, obviously rich and bored, Saudi Arabian fellow owns this blinged out Ferrari 599GTB.  The car is not actually chrome… someone basically spent days buffing the…

Hide Your Valuables – Hidden Safe In Filing Cabinet

I am one of the most paranoid types… I always think of where people will look when I am hiding something of value… and I always worry that my small safe (not bolted down) can just be picked up and walked away with.  So, I like when I see “smart”…

Inflatable Blob Launch Goes Wrong (Right?)

Video of more lake toys… the famous inflatable blob… girl lays on one end… fat man jumps on other end… you get the idea… This video actually made me grunt out loud like the guy filming it.  My favorite part (something is wrong with me) is the girls face at…

Crazy BBQ Grills

  Just in time for summer BBQ action… some of the craziest BBQ’s ever.  We have shown you some cool BBQ tools  and grills in the past… but some of these grills are over the top.  Not to pass judgement… but you know these are all from the South and…

Security Camera Follows Movement

Ever watched surveillance video where the bad guys walks out of the cameras view… and you are left wondering what they are up to just off camera? Well wonder no more… the PIR1002AT camera can track a person with a 180-degree viewing area. The camera uses three infrared sensors to…

Portable Fireplace…Um Ok?

Inventions for the sake of inventions… puzzled how stuff like this makes it to market.  Conmoto has made a portable fireplace labeled the travelmate.  The unit weights 55 pounds (not so portable) and burns bio-ethanol (no smoke).  I really can’t think of many uses for this type of thing.  Any…
