Cane Promises Sights Other Canes Don’t

In our modern metrosexual-filled era, one always has to look suave. Crippled or not, walking sticks make anyone look snazzy. However, not everyone is into steampunk gear, like this gimp mask. That’s alright though, because this cane has a certain level of class to it. The telescope mounted on it is collapsible and concealable within the walking stick’s solid African rosewood case. This isn’t a cheap telescope your mother picked up at the mall, either. With a 3X magnification, 60... Continue reading

Arcade Goodness for your Wii

For only $60, you can bring the fantastic experience of owning a Neo-Geo AES to your Wii, without spending $200 dollars per game. The Virtual Console arcade stick is said to work with only a limited selection of games, so we can automatically assume it’s for the SNK games that are coming to the VC within the next few months. However, there is good news for Neo-Geo fans who love waving the wand around on the worst console of all... Continue reading

Peel-and-Stick Solar Panels

I really don’t see what the big deal is about saving energy. At home, we just ignore our electric bill until the company sends us a letter crying about paying them money. We send them some cash, they’re happy and the virtuous cycle repeats. Of course, not every tree-hugging citizen would agree and that’s why technologies like wind-based power plants and solar energy panels exist; solely to please the masses. Case in point: Lumeta’s Power-Ply 380. What sounds like a... Continue reading

Eating With A Stick Was Never This Elegant

Remember the Ballpoint Eating Utensils I wrote about a few months back? This Outdoor Cutlery reminds me of that concept, though this time made for the outdoors man, rather than the cubicle man.

The only thing you have to... Continue reading
