You know how something as simple as a laser pointer can become your pets newest favorite toy? The Bolt Interactive Pet Laser automatically juts around the room, providing your pet with minutes of fun.
As you can tell from the kitty’s glassy-eyed state, she’s simply enthralled.
While there’s no mention of Pee Wee in this design project’s description, the resemblance to Herman’s very own breakfast contraption is uncanny.
Directed by designer Yuri Suzuki and artist Masa Kimura, the Breakfast Machine is designed to prepare a full-course meal, serving up omelets, coffee, orange juice and even toast with jam.
Have you ever seen the Carrot Top flick, Chairman of the Board? (Oddly enough, this is the same line I use to pickup the ladies.) Trust me, I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve seen it too, and almost enjoyed it on some guilty mental plane. Anyway, Carrot Top’s character creates a TV dinner which automatically cooks itself and has enough juice left over to provide the consumer with some TV using a built-in display. Needless to say, they were a big hit in the film.
MO:BEN, designed by Alex Cheong, is sort of the same thing, except with less radioactivity and more boredom (no TV included). The device is a portable food container which has a built-in heating and insulation system. So in theory, it could automatically heat your food to preheated temperatures of deliciousness. Also included are two handy eating utensils, perfect for the non-cavemen among us. More pics after the jump. (more…)
This is how you do it in the Marines. You take an AR-15 automatic rifle, slap on a chainsaw and boom, you have a replica of the Lancer from Gears of War. Sure, you can’t chop people up with it (legally), but what’s to stop you from going apeshit on a cactus out in the Nevada desert? My thoughts exactly.
If you happened to be away for the whole day, leaving your cat at home alone, whether you leave a full dish of food or just a few pieces of snack, chances are by the time you come back they’ll all be gone, and the cat will be hungry again. So there’s always a danger of either starving or overfeeding your pet if you work long hours. Japanese petshots have started selling various different kinds of automatic feed dispensers, the Mr Rice automatic feeder (Gohankun) is one of the examples with a pretty standard design, just a salad-plate-esque dish with cover, so only part of the divided dish will show up at each time, you can set the timer for it to turn every 6/12/24 hours, so having 6 division will mean that you can leave your pet alone for 6 days max. The Mr rice automatic feed dispenser is priced at 68USD. You can have a better look at the dish division after the jump.
Have you ever thought of bringing those automatic water taps in public toilets home? Takaratomy is selling these Pitap add-ons that you can easily install on to any tap you want. So when you have oily hands and just want to rinse them off you don’t have to make your taps oily anymore, all you have to do is to put your hands close enough to the sensor and the water will run. You can turn off the sensor and resume to manual control if you wish to leave it running to fill up the sink. You can also install one of these in your bathroom to make teeth-brushing and shaving easier. However the company warns users against installing over the shower head for some reason (wouldn’t that be great?). The Pitap runs on AAA battery and are selling at $70 in Japan now. — Sam Chan
