USB Hand Fan is Sort of Pointless

usb-fan1

Sure, it lets you save some data (16GB actually), but what the hell is the point? We do all the work?

You know, I heard fanning yourself actually makes you hotter because you exert more energy moving your arm than the movement provides air. So not only is this pointless, but it’s harmful. But hey… USB! Give yourself heat exhaustion for the low, low price of $297. Or you can, you know, go run a marathon without drinking water and save yourself some dough.

Cool Off With The Wi-Fi Fan

wifi-fan

While it’s currently the dead of winter, summer is right around the corner and what better way to stay cool than with this Wi-Fi fan. It won’t give you the Internet but in return, you’ll receive sexy looks from the geeky housewife next door. It’s a product of Atypyk, some company that’s based in France. Unfortunately, like all good things, there’s no set price yet.

Imagine if the edges were razor sharp on this thing. You’d be all like, “Yo girl, trying to connect to my network?” and she’d be all like “Nah, your WEP is WACK!” and then you’d slice her in half like Katana in Mortal Kombat II. Mmmhmm.

Little Big Pac-Man And Other Little Big Classics

I sure hope you’ve had a chance to dabble with LittleBigPlanet. If you haven’t, you’re certainly missing out on all of the fan-made levels that have flooded Sony servers, causing SOCOM to be unplayable. With all of the creative power behind the game, it’s no surprise players have already started recreating their favorite gaming classics such as Pac-Man, Tetris, Sonic The Hedgehog, Space Invaders and even Dig-Dug.

There will no doubt be more classics to come as the games creative utilities and player base become larger with each passing day. Looking for something challenging? Check out Vince’s level. He put some time in creating the most frustrating level known to platform games, but also threw in a hidden passage to bypass most of the stage! Genius.

Expose Your PC’s Private Parts

Heating issues can take a huge toll on your computer’s hardware. I mean, take a look at this Xbox 360. That thing is FUBAR. The team at Antec are aware of the many heating issues people have with their computers, so they’ve built the world’s first open air PC case.

The Antec Skeleton packs a 92mm fan in the front and a three speed 250mm fan (with multicolor LED customization) on top which ensures that there is no way in hell you’re overheating your computer. If anything, your computer will freeze while sitting in this thing. It’s almost like the Antec Nine Hundred, except it doesn’t keep produce fresh.

Why, God? Why? Twitter For The DS

If you’re a Twitter whore and you just so happen to own a Nintendo DS, then you’ll be pleased to know that accessing Twitter is now possible on your portable gaming system. Unfortunately, it’s only in Spanish at the moment, but if you’re desperate to let everyone know when you’re eating and shitting then I’m sure you can get around the language barrier. DSTwitter is free, all you’ve got to do is follow these steps:

  • Prepare a memory card (R4DS) and the DS’s WiFi connection.
  • Register to the Scene Beta website. Username and email required.
  • Download the DSTwitter 1.3 .RAR file.
  • Extract the contents “in the root of the memory card.”
  • Input Twitter login.
  • Run the program.
  • Before you know it you’ll be Twitter-ing it up at a McDonalds WiFi hotspot, letting all your friends know that you just ate three big macs in a row. It’s interesting to see what fans will come up with in terms of development for the DS. As for myself,  I’m waiting for the TumblrDS in English, so thanks but no thanks.

    Laptop Desk Puts A Weird Look On Your Face

    Laptops are a pain in the ass to relax with if you’re not sitting at a desk. Thankfully, there are alternatives to burning a hole in your crotch. FeDom is marketing a notebook desk with built-in 2.1 speakers as well as cooling fans. The desk is compatible with a bunch of operating systems, including those still stuck using Win98 SE. It can be powered via USB or with four D-cell batteries; the more power options, the better. The legs fold in for an easily storable desk for all you pack rats scrounging for space. Now that’s convenience!

    BBQ Fan and Light: Because Our Hair Is Too Perfect To Get Sweaty

    grill-fan-light-2_8381.jpg

    Spring and summer are just around the corner, and that means whipping out the old grill for some Fourth of July barbecue. Mmm…ribs. The temperature can get pretty steamy in these seasons, but not nearly as hot as when you are cooking over the grill. Some people hate the heat so much they resort to cooking their burgers in less orthodox ways. The BBQ Fan and Light make sure you have a constant stream of fresh air headed your way.

    We can deal with minor retina burns and smoke flowing into our tear ducts, making us look like blubbering fools, but what we cannot deal with is our perfectly manicured hair becoming greasy with sweat. After hours of placing every strand in its right place, there is just no need to ruin it for the sake of delicious meats. Well, maybe for meats, but definitely not so other people can enjoy those meats! Get yours for $45. (more…)

    Tent Ceiling Fan Keeps You Sweat Free In The Wilderness

    tent_ceiling_fan.jpg

    We were under the impression that the idea of camping was to become better associated with nature and the elements. Not that we would know, since we haven’t been outside since the early 90’s for fear of that Mad Cow we hear so much about. The Tent Ceiling Fan And Light from Coleman provides you a little home hospitality inside of your nature abode.

    If you’re camping in a cold climate, the Tent Ceiling Fan probably won’t be of much benefit unless you want to blow the frigid air at yourself quicker. But at least the built-in light will allow you to watch your limbs succumb to frost bite, instead of just feeling the intense pain. Get your own for $26. — Andrew Dobrow
