Office Collar Stops You From Gnawing On Your Coworkers
How can we not be distracted at the office when all of our coworkers are wearing such low cut blouses? The chest hair is just overwhelming. The Office Collar resembles the collar the vet gave me after I had to get neutered, so I couldn’t lick my wounds. Wearing the Office Collar creates your own private cubicle for your head, allowing for a distraction-free work space. It also will help you stop gnawing at your wounds when you feel an...

Digital Tape Measurer For The Lazy Handy Man
I would have grown up to be a carpenter if it weren’t forĀ those meddling kids that whole manual labor thing. If I could sit on my ass all day and build shit from my computer I’d be all set. The Digital Tape Measurer at least takes a bit of the manual out of manual labor by calculating the measurement for you and showing it on a display. The tape measurer is pretty run of the mill, except the display... Continue reading
Solar Powered Visor Radio Should Really Add Beer Bong Functionality
If you ever felt like wearing a visor that looks straight off of the head of that local old towny guy who sits in front of the corner barbershop everyday, but wanted some radio and eco-friendliness, the Solar Powered Visor Radio could be right up your alley. The visor has built-in power speakers on both sides of your head so you can hear the room-thumping beats of CCM or whatever it is kids listen to these days. On a sidenote,... Continue reading
Music Instruments Made Using Ford Car Parts
As far as snazzy advertising goes, Nike had stolen our geeky hearts with their laser engineered ads in Paris. Now Ford has a new gimmick up their sleeves which has stolen our hearts as far as gadgetry goodness goes. Using parts from a disassembled Ford Focus, the car giant has created fully functional musical instruments for an ad that will run starting February 4th, which will feature an orchestra playing compositions with the new designs. The 31 musical devices feature... Continue reading
A Bike Stand That Pumps You Up
How about a little product integration to light up your day? Spotted over in the drug-lovin’ Netherlands, this stainless steel bike stand integrates an air pump right into the mix, hopefully causing some interaction between neighbors as they pump up the wheels to their hot rods. Eight of these bad boys will be installed around Ypenburg, a newly built town. Apparently marijuana use not only affects hunger, but motivation to get your on air pump as well. — Andrew Dobrow...

Because Star Power Is A Pain In The Ass
Whenever I play Guitar Hero and it’s time to use my stored Star Power, I literally have to do a cartwheel to get the guitar to sense the thrusting motion that lets the console know it’s time to kick some ass. No more of this crap. This new Guitar Hero pedal from React makes sure you can use your Star Power when you want to, on your terms. React also went ahead and added a handy whammy bar pedal in...

Part Mouse, Part Flotation Device
While this mouse might not be able to save you after your plane plummets into the ocean, the Jelly Click does offer a whole new level of portable peripherals. All of the electronic components are housed on a flexible circuit board which allows the mouse to be folded up when not in use. When you’re in need of the Jelly Click’s service, just blow it up using your very own inflation device (your mouth), and latch on the USB attachment... Continue reading

Robovie Will Show You The Way To The Good Stuff
Shopping malls can be pretty overwhelming. Most of them have adopted little “you are here”-type maps to help provide some prospective on where you are located within their twisting corridors. If that isn’t enough for your liquid mind, the Osaka-based Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute has unveiled a crowd-monitoring bot which can scope out lost souls and guide your way to consumerist heaven. Robovie was recently tested at Universal Citywalk Osaka shopping center, where using its 16 cameras, 6 laser range... Continue reading
Corner V1 Computer Desk Offers Lots Of Space To Rest Your Elbows
Using the same uber-macho color scheme as the Battle-Rig Gamer Desk, the Corner V1 Computer Desk looks more like a drum set for one of those Rock Band games, with its circular mini-shelves and arm rests. The Vision One isn’t all bravado. It brings the noise, literally. Fully optimized for 2.1 speaker support, the Vision One offers space for two speakers and a woofer. What we really love about it is the designated spots to rest your arms as you... Continue reading
