Join Decoy Mask avoids any unwanted face-to-face
Don’t you just hate when your in the middle of mowing your lawn, minding your own business, and your annoying neighbor comes over to gab about absolutely nothing for half an hour? It’s just a total waste of time. Sure, they might mean well, but talking about the weather for 20 minutes is not productive unless you’re a meteorologist, which you’re most likely not.
If your not looking at your neighbor face-to-face as they talk, they might think you’re being rude. But sometimes you just want to turn around and hope they go away. The Decoy Mask creates a custom replication of your face to wear on the back of your head. This way, your annoying neighbor doesn’t feel like they’re being ignored, even if they are.

Wear AirDrives if you love your life
If you’re an avid jogger or cyclist who still wants to enjoy listening to your favorite tunes while working out a sweat on the pavement, perhaps it would be more prudent to invest in a pair of AirDrives? These allow you to groove to your tracks without missing out on ambient sounds that could mean the difference between life and death as a vehicle bears down on your six. The AirDrives rest just outside the ear, allowing you to stay alert to traffic, announcements and people around you. Audio from your MP3 player are transmitted using bone conduction technology. You can choose from adult, kids, and iPhone versions which retail for £49.99, £39.99 and £59.99, respectively.

Beer Tube Siren
Be the life of the party with this Beer Tube Siren! It will require a quartet of AA batteries to operate, so hopefully you’re sober enough to replace them should they run out of juice in the middle of a hard night’s partying.
Great for bars & restaurants – patrons can flip the switch to let your servers know they are ready for another tube. Wonderful for parties – having a birthday party? Let the birthday child feel special with a lighted lid Turn on the switch and light will let everyone know that the tube is ready to party.
For $19 a pop, this is one of the cheaper (and wackier) drinking gadgets I’ve seen so far…definitely not meant for folks who intend to remain sober.

Aerovation offers convenience at airports
Going through airport security checkpoints can be a pain, especially for folks who carry notebooks with them. Some airports require you to take out the notebook from the notebook case/bag, boot it up (good thing they don’t do a check on the authenticity of the software within as that would probably cause plenty of folks from Third World countries to end up in the slammer), and shut it down. Aerovation aims to cut all that hassle with a new Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bag. This patent-pending product was recently tested by the Transit Security Administration (TSA), and has been given the nod of approval, making travel much less of a hassle for everyone (passengers and airport staff alike).

USB Crunching Dogs
If there ever was a useless USB peripheral (unless making you laugh in a juvenile manner for the first 10 seconds is counted as something useful), the USB Crunching Dogs will fall in the same category as its predecessor, the much more crude USB Humping Dogs.
These Crunching Dogs do endless sit-ups when you plug them into your USB port. Do they ever stop? No. Is there an off switch? Nope. However there is some kind of satisfaction to be had at watching a tiny dog tirelessly exercising on your behalf. It almost makes us want to leap from our desks, forgo electronics and computers and start doing jumping jacks… but then again that’s where the trouble started with the Humping Dogs.
You can get these 2.25″ pooches for $9.99 a pop from ThinkGeek.
