Tetris Soap

Its time for some more geeky soap, just like the Space Invaders soap, these fun Tetris soaps are inspired by a classic video game.

Now you will be able to play Tetris in the bath with these geeky soaps, they come in a set with all different Tetris pieces, and they are made from a blend of glycerin and olive oil soaps.

“That’s not a gadget” we hear you sigh, but when a TV is as clever as this, it most definitely is. For starters it looks sexier than a strip club to a monk and is thinner than a supermodels lunchbox (1.2″). It also posseses a multitude of connection possibilities. These stack up to an impressive 4 x HDMI ports, 2 x USB ports, a DTV Tuner, wireless LAN and internet TV. Yup, we did say wireless Lan and internet TV.

Self-charging phone

This phone takes top-of-the-range watch technology and teams it up with a touchscreen to create a stylish hybrid handset. Its built-in battery is charged by the kinetic energy generated by the moving rotor so that your phone charges without you even noticing, while it’s working.

Dog-o-matic Dog Washing Machine

Some dogs absolutely hate getting washed and it can be a major chore to get them cleaned, so while the idea of throwing them into a dog washing machine might sound cruel, it seems like a pretty good idea. You just stick them in the machine, press “start,” and smugly watch with the knowledge that opposable thumbs make you the boss. According to the manufacturer, the animals don’t suffer.

Lazy Boy Cool Chair

I think the Lazy Boy Cool Chair is the gadget of all gadgets. I can’t think of anything much better than sitting back relaxing while watching your favourite Movie or TV show in this chair. Actually maybe I can, why not throw in some added gadgets such as a fridge to keep your drinks cool and a massager for after those long hard days at work. The Lazy Boy has been around for a long time now but I think you will agree it will always be a cool gadget.

HomeSeer In-Wall Customizable Touchscreen Unit

HomeSeer Technologies has released the HST-IW07 7″ In-wall Touchscreen Unit. IP-enabled, it features a 7″ color TFT LCD Display with a 800 x 480 dpi resolution, customizable screens, easy mounting and an LED backlit display. The display is meant to work with HomeSeer’s HSTouch interface design system, so before you invest the $995.00, check out the rest of their line.

Bike Moto Horn

Did you ever wish that your piddly little bicycle was a fearsomely noisy motorbike? Course you did. It’s why you stuck spoke-bothering lollipop sticks in your forks and bent your mudguards inside out. ‘Phturrrrrppplll!’ But if you were really cool you bought one of those rev-able vroom-vrooming soundboxes.

Wow, this was a hard choice this week. The bath time tv would be great, but I’d rather have a waterproof Kindle. The AccuVein would help further medical science. The tetris soap would just be too much fun. The lazy boy rocks… but it still needs a place to plug in your lap top. And the touch screen unit would be an integral part of your home command center, or evil secret lair. Tough call. I guess I have to go with the whole good for humanity thing.

the dog-o-matic dog washing machine is almost one of the coolest things ever. the waterproof lcd screen is pretty cool to.

The new Samsung LED TV blew me away when I saw one of these at my local electronics store! The only downfall is that it only goes up to 55″. Other than that it is the best picture out there!

A very close choice between the self charging phone and the dog washing machine – but the washing machine gets my vote.

Cherie Says:

The self charging phone sounds wonderful.I hate to charge my phone.

Definitely a great gadget for businessmen or people who travels and talks on their phone a lot. No more charging!

Is self charging the wave of the future? What about wireless electricity? Duel, anyone?

Self charging phone! its amazing, and the technology has been around forever. Wonder how much juice can be generated by kinetic energy though, as a watch doesn’t use too much power (months/years on one battery) and my cell phone needs to be recharged daily.

Being a dog person I thought I’d pick the dog bath , but I rather like the idea of a phone that is always charged.

Lots of goodies this week! The Sammy TV is my choice. I saw one at my local Fry’s and even the wife was drooling over it.

The Accuvein. Ever gotten an injection where they couldn’t find the vein and had to keep sticking you? No more.

I HATE it when techs or trainees can’t find a vein to take blood! Great idea.

Joran Says:

May 23rd, 2009 at 10:25 am

In my lifetime I’ve been stuck with enough needles to scare an orange, so I can really appreciate the AccuVein. Having a nurse poke and prod in an attempt to find a vein when they’re not readily present is quite the annoyance, and if you’re already in pain, it just adds more ontop of it.

Saw the Samsung LED TV in currys today and was blown away by the picture quality. Would get one in a heart beat if i had the spare cash.

Self charging a cell phone as this device makes is a quantum leap for me!!

Gotta be the Tetris Soap – gives me an excuse to use that old “Where’s the soap?” “Yes it does, doesn’t it!” gag!

Richard Says:

I go for the waterproof LCD.
great idea and long overdue. expecting to see it soon in multiple uses:
sailboats, bathrooms, whirlpools, etc.

the self charging phone just seems so impossible:
way too much power demand.

Guess I’m on the bandwagon — self-charging phone is perfect.

A vein finder?!? A smack addict’s dream! Unfortunately, they’ll just sell it next time they need to score, so it’ll just be a waste of money buying them one for their birthday…

I voted for the Lazy Boy Chair! I love recliners! Was just talking a friend about watching TV while in one.

It looks so kool and comfortable.

Ok, so how often does my phone juice run out? Um never.
I have a double charge in the car, one for the phone, the other for my gps.

My veins? Well they have gotten ‘popped’ recently by nurses who couldn’t find mine. They need it not me.

Jenna Says:

self-charging phone. I don’t know how many times I’ve run down a cellphone by midday.

I love the self-charging phone! I never remember to charge my phone and searching for the charger has always been a hassle.

John Says:

Ooooh… This one’s pretty tough. But I’m gonna have to go with the Waterproof LCD screen bath tub. It just seems like a brilliant idea to me. I also liked the Self Charging Phone, considering that it WAS made by a fancy watch company, but the LCD bathtub screen just takes the cake. Yum.

Thomas Says:

I want to take a bath, but I don’t want to stop watching Grey’s Anatomy. If ONLY there was a way I could do both!

Self-charging phone is the best. Nothing worse than having a dead phone battery.
