One for the Girls (and Glams) Digi Makeover

April 1st, 2007 by Al in Childrens Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas

Digi Makeover

This is one of those gadgets that my 9 year old daughter would absolutely love (and I wouldn’t borrow), the Girl Tech Digi Makeover, a way to test how make up looks on your face on your TV.

To use you take a photo of your face using the built-in digital camera, connect it to the TV and then try out different hair and make up styles to see which suits you best (or to see how stupid you’d look in Goth make up and pic tails (if you’re a Goth with pig tails reading this then I’m sorry about that)).

If I was the kind of person that starts my Christmas shopping early this would be on order now but as I’m not I’ll just wait for the Christmas eve jostle. You can get the Girl Tech Digi Makeover in the UK from Argos for £59.99.

Mentos, the Geysermaker! Be like the Eepybird guys!

March 28th, 2007 by Fred in Childrens Gadgets, Drinking Gadgets, Toys, Wacky Gadgets

If you haven’t seen the Eepybird guys do their thing with Mentos and Diet Coke. First, I’d like to welcomeSoda Geyser you back from your Oceanic Airlines flight 815 and tell you we’re glad you made it back from “The Island“. Second,, you can click here and watch it, Captain Out of Touch!

Third, and most importantly, now you can put together your own Eepybird style show with the Soda Geyser!

Just like the Eepybird guys (only I think they’re manufacturing them, rather than having to make them all from scratch).

Thanks Uncrate!!!

Get it at Firebox!

Lego and Ferrari, The Best of Both Worlds

March 26th, 2007 by Nick in Childrens Gadgets, Toys, Vehicle Gadgets

Lego Ferrari

The cars from the legendary Italian scuderia from Maranello have always inspired passion all over the world. Almost the same thing can be said about Lego, the small plastic bricks that were first introduced more than fifty years ago in Denmark, and have conquered the world ever since. So why not combine both of them? That’s what the Lego Ferrari collection is all about. I admit that these are not gadgets at all, but how can you resist to Ferraris made from Lego bricks?

The Aerosoarer, a super tiny RC plane for indoors!

March 22nd, 2007 by Fred in Childrens Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets, Remote Control Toys, Vehicle Gadgets

Here’s a SWEET RC airplane for indoor use from Tomitech in Japan.aerosoarer

I want one bad! (plus it looks to be around $19USD at Play Asia).

Let’ just do it this way,, here’s the video.

It’s powered in the same way as the PicooZ and it’s ilk, in other words, the main batteries are stored in the radio, (that kinda looks like crap).  It’s plugged into the radio and charges what’s likely a lithium polymer or other small high capacity battery (or capacitor) and off you fly!

It looks like a ton of fun, (unless you don’t like flying planes inside your own home).
