Mini Lighter Cufflinks

lighter-cufflinks

These Mini Lighter Cufflinks were available on Etsy before the internet took over and sold out every last pair. Will they be back? Who knows, but lord, these things are awesome.

They’re cufflinks which are actual lighters, meaning you can light up a smoke without even reaching into your pocket. I wouldn’t recommend these if you go a little heavy on the cologne. That could end pretty messy and likely extra crispy.

If you can’t go very long without a smoke pressed between your lips and your cell pressed to your ear, you might need a way to join the two mediums. Sure, we’ve seen the device which swears to be the ultimate smoker’s phone, but where is the lighter?

The SB6309 Cigarette Lighter Phone includes a lighter in its ingeniously deadly design. Slip the protective cover back and flick the lighter button. Soon enough, you be flaming mon.

Guy Shoves Blu-ray Laser Inside A Zippo

With Blu-ray players being so expensive nowadays, either creator Rog8811 went dumpster diving for parts or just has enough money to smash open a Playstation 3. Whatever the reason, he managed to cram a working blue-laser diode inside a Zippo lighter. The best part? It actually works. Windproof? No problem bro, ’cause this fucker is made of light.

If you want to build your own, there are instructions. You’ll need to procure your own blue laser diode somehow – godspeed with that.

Toolbox: Tonino Lamborghini Cigar Lighters

If you’re reading this site, chances are you can’t afford a Lamborghini. Then again, who can? With gas prices at all time highs and the auto industry crashing, now is the worst time to buy a gas-guzzling Murcielago. That’s why you need to take the low road like a true tool and buy a fancy, schmancy lighter from Tonino. With a bunch of official logos and bullshit features filled with buzzwords, you’ll rest easy knowing it’ll still light your cigar. There’s even a cigar cutter you can use on your cheating, no-good husband.

Like I said, this is a tool for a tool. If you’re going to pay $150-$175 for a lighter and can’t afford the car to match, don’t even bother. Lamborghini lighters don’t get you laid.

That’s One Huge Lighter

This lighter not only is huge but it tells all the ladies that you’re stacked. It’s able to light a blunt in a heartbeat and it can’t fit in your tight jean pockets. No matter, because this lighter says it all. You could light a lady’s cigarette by flipping out the huge one but why not just stuff it in your pants? You’ll get laid either way with this Zippo.

The Fire Extinguisher Lighter makes fire fighting useless

I remember when Smokey the Bear was all over TV, screaming at me and threataning to eat me if I started a forest fire. Of course, not using those exact words, but we all knew the truth. The Fire Extinguisher Lighter brings the best of fire fighting and fire starting together into one pleasant hybrid.

The lighter doesn’t have any fire fighting capability other than its design, which is good since you can’t light a cigarette with a fire extinguisher. You can pick one up for yourself now for $4.89. Go start a fire or two. (Warning: Just kidding about that part). — Andrew Dobrow

Next-gen MacBook Pros to have brighter and crisper displays

Rumors are flooding through the Mac grapevine. AppleInsider is reporting that industry insiders are confirming the production of LED backlit MacBook Pros, marking Macs transition away from CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent backlights).

As of now, plans for LED integration are only for the 15-inch series. The 13 and 17in series’ are still under consideration, but seem like an inevitable addition once the 15-inch is fully tested and gauged.

The new LED’s should also prove to conserve battery-time, while also producing a longer lit life then the original CCFLs. The explosion of personal laptops of the last few years has put the MacBook in the position to get the royal treatment over the iMac.

In these modern days of “the smaller and lighter, the better” while still demanding good quality, the LED MacBook will not disappoint. Apple has proved itself as a monster in the personal technology field. Something tells us this Frankenstein monster a la Steve Jobs, isn’t getting shackled anytime soon. — Andrew Dobrow
