The LightSleeper – For a Good, Heavy Sleep

Following her own suffering with insomnia, designer Kate Evans has created what is essentially a mini light projector which beams a soothing light onto your ceiling. The light then makes circles above you, the idea being that as your eyes follow the projection you gradually slip off to sleep. Whereas something like reading would stimulate the mind and thus keep you asleep, the LightSleeper relaxes you almost hypnotically. It takes under a minute to get it working, and it can be turned on with a tap (great if you wake up in the middle of the night with uber brain fuzz) and automatically switches off after half an hour which means its energy efficient too.

Animal Weighing Scales

These Animal Weighing scales measure you to the nearest rabbit, or other animal, and I believe are more of a novelty product instead being factually accurate. The animals get bigger as the weight goes up obviously, but one of the images on there is clearly a frog, and I think I’d be dragged straight to the doctors if I actually weighed that little. But it’s an amusing gag gift to consider for Christmas, for that person who just won’t accept that they’re just a regular size, or perhaps for that person who really should not be having eighth helpings of turkey…

Mini Freeview Digital TV and Media Player

When we first heard about this “TV tablet”, we got extremely excited with ideas about what exactly a TV tablet could do, flew around the office. We were slightly embarrassed when we realized that this was infact a media player and not a pill but our interest was still peaked. Portable media players are getting pretty common so to shake up this tired genre these clever bods have decided to shoe-horn a Digital TV receiver into the tiny 10.5 x 7.5 x 1.8 cm unit. “Portable tellies have been around since the 90s so that is not to impressive either” we thought. But this little portable gizmo has a lot more tricks up it sleeve

The Jedi Lightsaber is one step closer to reality ...

Remember in Empire Strikes Back when Han Solo takes Luke’s light saber and cuts up a TaunTaun in order to stuff Luke in it and save him from frost bite? Pure fiction, to be sure, but news has come that a plasma knife – or scalpel – has passed field tests with the US Army.

The plasma knife contains a beam of glowing, ionized gas for a blade and will be able to slice and cauterize a wound that soldiers suffer on the battlefield, effectively closing off any bleeding immediately. The plasma knife can accomplish this by creating an “impermeable layer of necrotic tissue” around the wound. Translation – you seal the wound by searing it, effectively killing the tissue that gets exposed to the blade. Plasma is particularly effective because it can penetrate the porous outer layer of tissue without damaging it, thus cutting off serious bloodflow from major blood vessels without doing major damage to surrounding tissue. Aside from every Star Wars geeks fantasy, the potential of saving lives due to “bleeding out” is immense.

The plasma knife is also field friendly in that it is low power, not requiring a major power connection to run it and implying a separate portable power pack.

Strictly speaking, the plasma knife isn’t a mini light saber. But it’s the first steps in what is surely life imitating art.

T-Sketch your own T-Shirt

Draw your design or write a message on your chest using the T-sketch. Make yourself a ‘Hi my name is…’ tag, or write something really random that people are guaranteed to ask you about or simply doodle. Then through the use of cunningly concealed AAA batteries (remove before washing!) you not only get to project your innermost thoughts but you get to make them flash too. Wherever the specially designed pen hits the wipe clean board, lights below the surface are activated. You can then set different vibrancies for the design- anything from a dull glow to a flashing strobe. Great attention grabber on drunken nights out!

Yoostar is a gadget that lets you edit famous scenes from movies so that you can replace the big Hollywood actor and maybe do a better job. The Yoostar comes with a webcam with integrated microphone, which it claims to be studio grade, so hopefully won’t make your rendition of the famous Godfather speech as jerky as stop motion animation and as fuzzy as a hamster with a blow dry. You also get a 6 foot by 6 foot green screen to film in front of and all the software needed to actually make the videos.

Finally in third place comes the Keyscaper 510 Mac or PC Keyboard.

Since the computer begin to use by first man to our hand, there are no many color options for our keyboard, as you know the basic colors that we always seen is Black but some times we will found several colors such as White and Grey. All of the colors that we already seen are always in plain colors.

Using infra red, these night vision goggles allow you to see up to fifteen meters in absolute darkness and even at full power, the light emitted is barely visible to the naked eye. Perfect for playing hide and seek in the garden, or watching owls and bats of an evening. And yes, you do get to pretend your stalking the bad guy (although I believe it is a prerequisite to hum the ‘Mission Impossible’ theme tune as you do).

Probably one of the coolest cameras being reviewed on the net. Invented by Mr. Ryu Koakimoto, this gadget is designated for accurate way to shoot a picture, with way similar to shooting a gun.

While this may be the first solar Coffee Maker concept, it will undoubtedly not be the last. The small appliance houses a battery that is charged by the sun. Gun Ho Lee also gave it an LCD display with amount of power, hot plate and pod filter. The designer was apparently inspired by watching a documentary about how carbon effects the ecosystem. Maybe that should be required for all.

Facebank. Just Freaky

The Facebank is the latest creation of the Japanese Takada Collection: a money box made with pink PVC skin, enabling it’s mouth to move in a freakily realistic way. Activate the sensors in its eyes by waving a coin at it, place the edge on it’s lips and it begins to gobble up your cash with every sign of enjoying it immensely. And then it belches. Yup- belches. Not only does it eat your cash like it’s chocolate money, it then burps in your face as a thank you.

Harmony 900 remote adds RF control

Logitech announced today its new Harmony 900 remote control, adding an RF to IR bridge system to complement similar high-end features to those of the company’s previous remotes like the Harmony One. The Harmony 900 communicates with an RF hub, which in turn creates an IR signal to communicate with one of two receivers. What does this mean for you? You’ll have the benefits of out-of-range RF home theater or media PC control while still retaining IR compatibility. Other features of the Harmony 900 are similar to previous models including a color touchscreen, activity-based menu system, and the ability to control numerous devices simultaneously

Gorilla Torch gives you an extra hand for dark, tight spaces.

It’s always frustrating when working in tight spaces to try and hold a flashlight while you’re turning a screw. Inevitably, what’s generally easy to do without a flashlight, is darn near impossible when you have to also hold a torch to light your workspace. Enter Gorilla Torch.

Made by Joby, the geniuses behind the Gorilla Pod, a Digital Camera holder that can mount a camera anywhere, the Gorilla Torch is the same kind of idea: a tripod with adjustable segments that enables the user to literally wrap it around anything to hold it in place. It’s LED based light is superbright and also has a built in dimmer switch to adjust to the users liking. It’s weatherproof and operates on thee AA batteries with an average battery life of 20-80 hours depending on how bright you like it.

So, whether you’re working on the pipes underneath the sink or replacing that timing chain in your car, wherever you need light, all you need to do is turn on Gorilla Torch and wrap it around anything nearby adjust the light to shine your way and you’re good to go for hands free lighting. There’s also another feature that can help while working in tight spaces. The footpads of the Gorilla Torch are magnetic, meaning that any nuts or bolts can be within easy reach just by sticking them on the pads.
Cost is around $30, which is a bargain if you’ve ever dealt with juggling tools, lights, and tight spaces!
