Binary Watch Makes Telling Time A Hassle

Filed under: Design, Handhelds, Wearables

You could be the biggest nerd ever and still have trouble telling someone the time with this watch. I mean just because you still play Doom doesn’t mean you can form sentences in binary code, right? Fine, I’ll admit it. I’ve been too lazy as of late to learn binary. That’s why you deserve this fine Binary Watch from a company no one’s ever heard of.

The watch tells time via two rows of LED lights that are either on or off. The top row is the number of hours and the bottom, the number of minutes. It’s water resistant in case you spill a bottle of JOLT all over it and can probably take a bit of a beating during a heated LAN party. Just remember to brush up on binary before plunking down $200 on it.

Ugliest Nintendo DS Mods - EVER!

Filed under: Gaming, Hacks, Handhelds

These Nintendo DS design mods more closely resemble a knick knack you’d find gathering dust in your grandmother’s attic than a gaming console. If the people over at King Deco were itching to create the “least likely to be used” gaming consoles, they have succeeded with full honors!

In order to rock these hideous creations, you have to ship your own personal DS to King Deco and trust these people handling your precious console. Supposedly, they actually charge to have this done. I mean, come on!

The first one I could live with. Now as far as the other three monstrosities? *shudder*

Bright-F Gives The Blind Sight In The Form Of Sound

 brightf.jpg

Imagine all of the beautiful visions you’d miss if you were born without sight. Until science figured out a cure for blindness, you would never get to see the blue sky on a clear day or how green the grass can get in the spring. The Bright-F concept hopes to give the blind community a chance to experience different shades and hues based on sound.

The Bright-F detects and translates brightness, saturation, and color into unique sounds. Forget about quality of life. This thing could work wonders for the simplest of tasks, such as sorting laundry into darks and lights. Finally offering the blind a chance to experience color, rather than simply texture. (more…)

First Official iPhone Battery Pack Drops

mophiejuicepak

Mophie must be ecstatic. As the first iPod/iPhone accessories manufacturer to nab the coveted “Works With iPhone” seal-of-approval, Mophie’s Juice Pack Battery Extender is likely to be the first sold in Apple stores and such. With an LED battery indicator on the back, similar to that found on Apple laptops, combined with long-ass battery life (24 hours of additional audio playback, 250 hours of standby time), Mophie could easily see increased sales thanks to a single badge on the front of its box.

Non-slip finish, fits your iPhone like a glove and goes for $100. If you use your iPhone as your primary PMP, this is probably an invaluable addition to your daily tech arsenal.

If you can deal with the life-altering mutations and the screams of children as they gaze upon your disfigured face, there are some benefits to living right next to a nuclear power plant. One of the coolest being that cool natural glow. These XCM Magic Night Glow replacement covers for your PSP make the portable console look like it has been sitting next to a reactor a little too long with a glow in the dark sheen.

All you have to do is leave the PSP out in the sun for a few minutes, shut off all the lights, and watch as the PSP glows a bright shade of green, blue, or orange. The color selection is your choice, and luckily, you and your mutated face can order the covers right online, without leaving the comfort of your very own cage. Grab your own for about $25 each.

If you were to get your hands on a Flux Capacitor and traveled to the year 2014, Marty McFly style, you might see some gadgets that will blow your mind. The Ori-ori-Moshi-moshi device (that name might be hell on its marketing) is a conceptual multimedia device made of a semi-flexible OLED display, which uses an origami-like form factor for pure awesomeness.

Just like many dream gadgets from the future, the Ori-ori-Moshi-moshi from AntennaDesign consolidates about every electronic function under the sun into one compact and pretty device. You name it, it can do it. You can use it as a phone, a gaming device, a media player, a camera, and photo editor. The OLED display can be folded in an assortment of ways to adapt to its present use.

AlphaGrip Handheld Computer Makes You Look Like An Alien

When I first caught glimpse of the AlphaGrip, I thought to myself “Well, I guess the jig is up. We humans had a fine run on Earth but the alien visitors have finally landed.” I was relieved to discover that the AlphaGrip Handheld Computer is actually a very terrestrial device. A high-performance high-speed portable concept computer made for gamers.

The AlphaGrip features a overall killer hit list of interface specs, such as handwriting recognition so you can use a stylus to write directly to the screen, a 10 finger touch typing system, a thumb-controlled trackball, and buttons that are positioned to increase typing speed up to 200%, while maintaining a pretty dainty size measuring only 6 5/8 x 6 3/8 x 3.5 inches, with an optional folding display of just 3 inches across.

Where The Hobo Religous Fanatic Hides His Booze

If you live in a major city, you know about the crazy homeless religious fanatics which turn up every so often at a major street corner, clutching a Bible to their chest and preaching about the upcoming apocalypse and how we’re all going to burn in hell. Meanwhile, Pastor Hobo over here is chugging booze through out his whole sermon.

For true drunken religious fanaticism, you need an expert solution for hiding your booze. And since most of these hobos remember every verse from the Bible anyway, they luckily don’t need a complete book. The Good Book from Suck UK is truly a great book for the nomadic preacher, hiding a 4oz flask within its “pages”, and would sure make an awesome prop for the next Tarantino flick.

Hijos de Villa Tequila Gun: You Call That A Shot?

liquor_guns.jpg

You feelin’ lucky today, punk? Well, shazzzam! If you need a new accessory for your Whiskey Holster, you might be very lucky indeed. The Hijos de Villa Tequila Gun chooses to opt out the violence of bullets, and replace every “shot” with 200ml of tequila in all of its drunk-aiding glory.

You know what would be awesome? Drinking all of the Tequila (since that’s the only way you’ll ever be drunk enough to do this), replacing it with urine, and threatening to shoot it at your friends. Or random strangers on the street. That works too. People will assume you’re spraying them with tequila (or water, if they don’t see the label), and you’ll be able to snicker slightly to yourself as you’re bathing people in piss. List price is $60, but they are currently out of stock.

Stroke On A Rope Is Perfect For Prison Showers

picture-7.png

Don’t drop the soap.” is the first bit of advice given out to every new prison inmate. We really don’t want to explain why, but you probably get the hint. ANYWAY, maybe if jailbirds had a tad bit more “relief” in the shower, they wouldn’t be so eager to spot out any soap droppers.

The Stroke On A Rope is a hand shaped bar of soap, with the hand in a position that makes it perfect for scratching those… very hard to reach places (LOLZ, it’s a masturbation reference!) Sure, it goes without saying that the Stroke would serve as an awesome gag gift for only $9.99, but what about a beneficial use in prison?
