There are also various electric devices, but they all look like boring bluish lamps.

Here’s an electronic device that will add style to the fly killer. It’s an electric version of the Venus Flytrap, the best known carnivorous plant.

Air Guitar Pro strums without strings

June 21st, 2007 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas

If you think you’re a guitar god, why not pick up this Air Guitar Pro from TakaraTomy? This latest offering from the Japanese firm enables you to play the most wicked tracks ever while strumming the air, most because all you get is one end of the guitar neck. The rest of the guitar has gone missing, but you have an infrared sensor located within the neck that detects your hand motions. The built-in speaker is no fun, not when you can hook this device up to an external amplifier while jamming out to your own chords. The Air Guitar Pro retails for $27 a pop.

Get some Concorde parts for yourself

June 20th, 2007 by Fred in Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas, Miscellaneous Gadgets, Tech News

ConcordeYep, the Concorde,, beautiful high speed ship of the skies.

They’re to be parted out and sold, lock stock and sensor.

Now you can be a part of the greatness that is the Concorde.

It looks like the lots are primarily mechanical spare types, and other functional pieces. I personally would prefer either to buy the bathroom or a block of seats. How much fun would it be if your guest bathroom was from the Concorde?! Then you pipe in music that sounds like you’re in a plane when the Lav light is on. Ok,, maybe that’s all just me.

check out the list of available lots here (by the way,, its a big .pdf you’ve been warned). Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Luggage Desk keeps working travelers on a roll

June 18th, 2007 by James in Gadget Gift Ideas, Gadget Reviews, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Rolling Luggage Cart and Desk

Let’s face it, laptops aren’t really laptops. They’re portable computers. And when travelers are forced to work while waiting for their flights, doing so while keeping track of luggage, cellphones, and other travel necessities can’t make for quite the juggling act.

Well, our friends at Hammacher Schlemmer have the answer in a rolling luggage cart - which creates a more stable work platform than your lap. Forget about having to juggle your laptop, cellphone, and even iPod when you shift your weight in those uncomfortable air terminal seats. The Rolling Luggage Cart and Desk provides a sturdy place to work or even enjoy a movie, rather than having to balance everything on your knees.

What better way to ring up the cash registers by introducing a radio that comes in the form of SpongeBob Squarepants?

I’m sure you too enjoy the drive from/to work and love being alone in the car, listening and doing whatever your heart desires. This is, of course, until you get into a traffic jam where it all becomes gray, as you wait and wait and wait…

Have you ever found yourself looking at the free carpool/HOV lane? Ever really considered the compromise of having to ‘behave’ in your own car and to bear boring colleagues just so you can get there faster?
