Poor, poor stuffed animals. I had to hold back my vomit when I saw these Mounted Plush Heads. Surely the result of a camping trip to the plush section of Toys R Us, I just can’t understand the allure of shooting poor, defenseless plushies, humane or not.
Be sure to coordinate your puke so it doesn’t hit your keyboard. The last thing we need is a lawsuit.
The Smapler is quite the instrument. First off, you’ll have to build it using your trusty Arduino since it’s a shield that works in tandem with the microcontroller. It’ll allow you to build some unique and interesting instruments as well. This new snap-on panel really gives it more of an instrument-like feel though, don’t you think? It features 4 knobs, two switches and a mount for your Arduino board and Smapler shield. It even has a rustic, steampunkish paint job to top it off. Better hurry over to BlushingBoy.org though, ’cause they’re giving away 10 of these away to buyers of the Smapler.
Have you ever been out with your digital camera and wish you had a tripod? It’s happened to me many times and while a tripod can dramatically improve your shot, they’re just not practical to carry around. Enter the Gorillapad. This tripod uses a “viscoelastic morphing polymer base” to stick to almost any surface, effectively turning anything into a usable tripod for a shot. The best part is that the Gorillapad can be had for less than $20 on Amazon, making it one of the most affordable tripods on the market.
We’ve been looking for some steampunk gear to match our new headphones and cane for a while now. Thanks to WETA’s steampunk raygun, the set is complete and I am now an official member of the Wild Wild West 2 movie crew. It’s called the “The Unnatural Selector – A Ray-Blunderbuss from Dr Grordbort’s,” and does little more than hang on your wall, looking pretty. Of course, you could always dismount it and run a muck wreaking havoc on unsuspecting foes.
Before you get in to any mischief, you’ll have to put a mortgage on your house because this thing goes from $4,500 to $7,900 dollars depending on what edition you settle with. Why so much? Despite all the detail put into this thing, it’ll also have your name engraved on it. Now, that’s cool.
Lego bricks can be put together to accomplish almost any task as long as you have the right parts and mechanics. The Lego Camera Mount is a computer-controlled movable tripod on wheels.
Using some strategically chosen Lego pieces, the creator of the Lego Camera Mount created a way for the mount to take photos on demand, while riding around on mini-treads. — Andrew Dobrow
You really aren’t lazy, right? It’s not your fault that finding the perfect viewing angle of your brand new LCD TV takes forever to hone into in your living room. The X-Arm is here to solve your viewing angle problems. The X-Arm is able to extend your TV up to a foot from the wall, allowing you,the viewer, to change the swivel’s angles from 20º to 32º depending on the displays size. It can also able to tilt the TV 25º downwards and 7º upwards until the perfect viewing angle is achieved. Once you find this perfect angle, the universal remote that you’ve been using this whole time to adjust the TV saves your information for later usage (or to store other angles in for different viewing positions).
