Race Chairs make office work speedy, but expensive

July 29th, 2008 by James in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Life in our corporate cubicle world could stand a little speeding up and with these RaceCar chairs, it may very well be. The idea is to take a standard office chair and make it more stylish and comfortable by placing actual sports car seats on top, replacing the dull and uncomfortable swivel chairs in your average cubicle. But they’re not cheap.

Just for the Smell of it: Scent-Emitting LCD Displays

July 28th, 2008 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets


Every time I go to a city by a bay, like San Francisco or Seattle, I am completely saturated by an array of scents. They wash over me like multiple waves from the high-priced restaurants with views of the water, and I am compelled to shell out my money for expensive food.

A Japanese company known as Recruit Co Ltd. has found a way to follow their nose to make people some money by using special displays. These unique advertising devices, developed by NTT Communications Corporation, have a 42-inch LCD display that not only show food, but emit mouth-watering aromas.

Lego Sports City recreates Beijing Olympics

July 26th, 2008 by AndrewD in Miscellaneous Gadgets

The Beijing Olympic Games are rapidly approaching. One day in the near future the Olympic Torch will be lit, and some of the finest athletes in the world will compete for their countries. Sadly, there’s no Olympic category for “speed computer assembly” or “fastest software coding”. Us geeks are typically left in the dark when it comes to athletic prowess, other than that one year we were on the track team in high school.

But never underestimate the mind of a geek. Just because we don’t have the proper coordination or balance for athletic competition doesn’t mean our involvement in the Olympics is ruled out. I mean, for one, you’ve got to imagine the judges are major nerds. If you need more proof about geek involvement, just check out this amazing Lego structure called Sports City, a total recreation of some of the venues which we’ll see in Beijing.

Armpit TV for mass-transit? Optimal for deodorant sales!

July 24th, 2008 by AndrewD in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Here’s a new word that might be invading your vernacular in the near future if you happen to be a frequent mass-transit commuter. Pitvertising. That’s right. Ads directly from the deep caverns of your fellow passengers’ armpits.

It might sound sort of creepy and unpractical, but think of the most common sight on a crowded subway car. Tons and tons of sweaty armpits, attached to those very same fellow passengers who are reaching for the handy support hanger. And what better way is there to utilize such a medium than by advertising, oops, we mean “pitvertising” a brand of deodorant?

The Proporta Keyring keeps your SIM card safe

July 23rd, 2008 by Ally in Miscellaneous Gadgets

SIM cards are just one of those things that are entirely too conveniently small.  It makes them easily lugged around and extremely easy to lose.  Anymore if many of us dump out our couch, not only will we get change but random small technology that has managed to slip between the cracks.  This extremely chic little keychain was created to help you keep your SIM card right where you won’t lose it.

George Lucas frozen in carbonite

July 23rd, 2008 by Edwin in Miscellaneous Gadgets

We’ve seen Han Solo in suspended animation indefinitely no thanks to his carbonite prison, but surely there are more deserving people of such punishment? What about Mr. George Lucas himself, for unleashing the abomination known as Jar-Jar Binks upon the galaxy, and torturing us through three prequels that are nothing but a special effects extravaganza without really fleshing out the characters’ pasts? Well if you have always wished that, that particular wish has come true today. This carbonite George Lucas was specially sculpted for Star Wars celebrations that are being held in Japan at the moment. No idea on how much it will cost though, nor where can you get one.

A Team R/C Van

July 23rd, 2008 by Edwin in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Those who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s will definitely be able to identify with the icon of that era, Mr. T and the rest of the A Team. Well, if you want to bring back a little bit of nostalgia in your life, then the A Team R/C Van could do just the trick.

Fully-licensed by the A-Team this fully-functioning, ready-to-run van will take you back to those Saturday evenings spent watching the adventures of the world’s most famous fugitives for hire. Get to grips with the twin toggle transmitter and you’ll soon be whizzing around shouting ‘I pity the fool!’ as you attempt to outrun the imaginary forces of Colonel Decker. You can even hum that rousing theme tune as you rescue various saddos from small time crooks. We love it when a van comes together!

You will be able to pick up the A Team R/C Van for £29.95 a pop. Forget about the other jibba-jabba in life when you’re having fun with the A Team R/C Van.
