ClubNAMCO has announced half a dozen shot glasses that feature characters from the original Pac-Man game, and they are Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky, Winky, and Clyde, and a bunch of Cherries our hero lusts after. I suppose the arrangement of these shot glasses will probably be in total disarray once you’ve knocked back your 15th shot of vodka for the night. There’ll only be 2,500 of these in the world, hence the $29.99 price attached to each glass (!). For those who are too inebriated to count, all six will cost $179.94.

The Saeco Etienne Louis espresso coffee machine looks as though it was spawned from the War of the Worlds movie set, standing on three legs with a turret-like extension at the bottom that dispenses not hot plasma beams but a lovely cup of espresso to perk you up during difficult mornings. Swiss designer Carlo Borer is the mastermind behind this lovely looking express coffee machine, where both the spikes and supports are made from polished aluminum. There is no word on pricing details as at press time, but common sense tells you that something as sophisticated-looking at this certainly won’t come cheap.

Automotively speaking, that is.

The idea was cooked up by William Heath in honor of his friend Lily, who died after a collision with a drunk driver. And as such, the Lilybug is a service – as much as it’s a bike. If you’re having way too much fun at a party (alcoholically speaking) and you don’t think you can drive home, giving a call Lilybug will send an intrepid designated driver to your location and they will drive you and your car home. The bike folds up and fits in 95% of all car trunks so they have a way to get back to the office or head off to the next partygoer in need. The cost is based on mileage, but averages out to $40 an hour. Lilybug donates a percentage of their proceeds to Lilybug Foundation – which financially aids families hurt by drunk drivers – and MADD.

People can also rent the Lilybug separately for $50 an hour, with a two hour minimum. It’s made by DiBlasi R7Es and folds up to a diminutive 30.7″ x 14.5″ x 24″.

First there was the remote control pool skimmer, then the wireless pool monitor. Both were designed to make it easier to keep the pool clean and balanced. But let’s face it, you still have to hassle with chlorine, pool shock and conditioners. And although these gadgets make it easier, they certainly don’t take the place of pool maintenance.

Well now there may be something from Smart Home that completely does away with the hassle of balancing your pool chemicals altogether. The Solar Powered Pool Purifier floats in your pool as it treats it with mineral ions that condition the pool and keep it green free by halting the growth of algae and other microorganisms by 80%.
