If you’re not familiar with Carl Craig, Google around and I’m sure you’ll find out that he’s one of the pioneers of techno and electronic music. In recent years, his music has taken more of a house/ethnic approach that has pushed the boundaries of modern electronic music. For our readers in France, if you’re around the Cité de la Musique in Paris come October 18th, you’ll be able to catch the Les Siècles Orchestra performing Craig’s tracks. Craig will be there mixing in the orchestra with the electronic bleeps and beats. Expect ass-shaking from everyone come nightfall unless Craig pussies out and ends up beat-syncing (that’s a pun on lip-syncing FYI).

Looking stylish with those cufflinks made from electronic oscillators. Yes, those are real 25 MHz oscillators  that’ll keep your sleeves looking nerdy for just $10.  Etsy member digiBling hand-makes all of her electronic-inspired jewelry that’s guaranteed not to get you laid. Maybe you could interface these with your Arduino or something? You could have some sort of crazy Arduino top-hat and tuxedo that flashes LEDs with wrists that emit dolphin tones…

Trying to fashion your bathroom in a serial killer theme? You’ll need this electronic bloody shower curtain inspired by the famous scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Guests are sure to be startled by the motion-activated Psycho music clip, complete with a screaming woman that’ll make anyone cringe. It’ll go great with those homicidal clothes hangers and no one will ever mess with you once they’ve seen your bathroom.

If that doesn’t scare them, you could always whip out your WASP knife for shits and giggles. It’s a $20 dollar must-buy and runs on three AA batteries.

Tap on, tap off. That’s exactly what you’ll be able to do when you get a Sanindusa Spot electronic bathroom faucet installed in your home. As you can see, there’s a sleek button on top that you can tap for water. H2O will flow out into your washbasin in a clean, controlled manner, which is supposed to help conserve water and reduce costs.

Unlike most faucets in public bathrooms, you can tap twice to turn the stream of water off instead of waiting for it. This makes sense considering that the Spot is made for home use. Just don’t try to use it as a butt plug. Let it flow instead.

Even if it looks a little too much like a purse to be completely unisex, as the designers claim it to be, the idea is a snazzy one. The Urban Performer Unit is a handbag with slick crystallized controlling, allowing you to operate your iPod from the Swarovski crystal laced surface.

The crystals indicate the iPod’s functions, incorporating an emotional feel to a smart electronic handbag. The bag doesn’t only work with iPod’s, but with most any pieces of mobile gadgets, including your PDA or cellphone. The Urban Performer Unit will be available in Christmas 2008 for the price of about $517.80. (more…)

No doubt about it. Smoking is a harmful, and more importantly, expensive habit. This Atomizing Electronic Cigarette at least makes it less harmful to those around you. The cigarette contains no tar or other polluting substance and you don’t even need to ignite it.

The emitted “smoke” is an atomized mist from a tobacco alkaloid; meaning it produces no harmful second-hand smoke. The smokers’ addiction is covered with highly purified medical grade tobacco alkaloid and the normal dose of nicotine. No word on how it mixes with other smoker electronics. Available now for $374. — Andrew Dobrow

Is putting your keys into your car door too complicated or stressful for you? If so, the Deluxe Remote Car Starter is for you. And so is therapy because no one should be that bothered by keys. This little device which costs about $90 has a range of 1,000 feet, quite far for your normal house. For technical reasons, this automatic starter does not function with manual transmission cars. Why should this scare you a bit? Because, like every other electronic device that has some kind of risk involved, it can be hacked. You probably don’t really want someone figuring out exactly how this works, which in turn would give them full access to your car. So if you have full confidence in this matter, go ahead and try it. It’s probably life changing…–Nik Gomez

At an incredibly anorexic size of 1.5mm, the boys (and ladies, perhaps?) over at Panasonic can now say they have produced the thinnest speaker of all time. Now, the bragging ensues, huzzah! Panasonic has slimmed down their previous model, which was a staggering 2.5mm, a 40% decrease. Come on guys, couldn’t squeeze one more tenth of a millimeter out? With the PED’s (Panasonic Electronic Device) reduction, we can now look forward to even THINNER cellphones. Soon we will all be talking into a cellphone that’s in danger of creasing in your pocket like a receipt, you wait and see.

Despite its stature, Panasonic insists that there is no loss in sound quality, so the sound of your mother-in-law’s voice will be as shrill as ever. Expect to see this PED in production by May of 2007, that is if they can find the machinery delicate enough to produce them. With such a thin design, they’re gonna have to start using the same machines the Treasury uses to make dollar bills.
