Toilet paper roll plays horrifying sounds

September 15th, 2009 by Mark R in Home Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

haunted-toilet-paper-thumb-351x236-24083Some of you might remember when I reported on that Japanese horror novel that was written on toilet paper. It would appear that some company has come up with the perfect audio track for reading that novel with toilet paper roll holder that can play zombie sounds.

Yes, I don’t know why they made it either, except for some cheap Halloween gag. Can’t get enough of those.

Still, you got to admit that would be a Punk’d episode to talk about. Perhaps Ashton could rig up these zombie sounds for George A. Romero the next time he sits on the toilet.

LED Neon Sphere Bottle Stoppers

September 15th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

led-bottle-stopper-lights

If you’re planning on having a party, then here’s a little extra mood lighting for the event.  It’s a little more subtle than strings upon strings of lights, but it’s not quite what many would call classy.  They would be neat to have though if you had a table of bottles lined up that needed bottle stoppers.  They’ll be especially great for those of you with a thing for bright neon lights, since these do at least mimic neon lighting.

Brother introduces new inkjet all-in-ones

September 13th, 2009 by Edwin in Miscellaneous Gadgets

brother-printersBrother has just rolled out a trio of new inkjet all-in-ones – the MFC-295CN, MFC-495CW, and MFC-795CW, where they will retail from $99 to $179 each. These were specially built for the office, where they offer professional quality printing while utilizing minimal office space courtesy of the Brother ink tube delivery system where ink cartridges are not placed the print head, resulting in a lower-profile end product. Most people would think that inkjets are a waste of money in the long run due to the ink cost, but these models do do their part in helping consumers save on their printing costs such as a four-cartridge ink system and N-in-1 printing. Apart from that, the MFC-495CW and MFC-795CW will come with an extra ink save mode that prints only image outlines.Features of these printers are available right after the jump.

Flashlight Speed Holster holds spare flashlight batteries

September 10th, 2009 by Ally in Miscellaneous Gadgets

TorchHolster_08_640x

We’ve always seen that scene in the horror and thriller flicks where someone drops the flashlight.  It’s of course always followed up by some spooky creature killing them or just scaring them to death.  Now if they had this holster, they might have survived the movie.  It also takes care of when those pesky flashlights die.  It will keep the extra batteries within reach for when the flashlight goes out at a highly inconvenient moment.

Gunnar Optiks: Glasses for Gamers?

September 9th, 2009 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets

mlgglassonblack_midThis would probably be the first time that I have reported on eyewear on this site. After all, most sunglasses seem very non-technological, but rest assured, there is a science behind it all.

This is certainly the case with GUNNAR Optiks, a “technology company that has pioneered the development of digital performance eyewear”. GUNNAR gives its customers digital eyewear that helps to stop Digital Eye Fatigue (DEF). DEF is the result of the never-ending stream of digital information that results form sitting around a computer all day.

Symptoms of DEF include blurred vision, eye strain, dry eyes, light sensitivity, and headaches. If it is left untreated, it can lead to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a repetitive visual stress disorder that affects 125 million computer users.

Grab it Pack to holster your gadgets

September 9th, 2009 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets

front-photo “A guy needs his stuff.”

This is the introduction to the video for the Grabit Pack, which you can read after the jump. It is also a clear indication of the target audience: the man’s man. Yes, the guys that think that Tim Allen wasn’t funny because they didn’t believe Home Improvement was not an act. Guys who really do grunt like cavemen at the sight of an awesome power tool.

Or maybe they are targeting the guy geek. Hey man, I consider myself one of those, and my pockets tend to be filled with many gadgets. Gadgets, if I might add, that were not designed for the rigors of being in a pocket all day.

Burning Man Spectator creates micro house for the bike

August 27th, 2009 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets

bike-trailer-home_1_khjqm_69-thumb-550x365-22936I often admire the romantic “living off the land” spirit of books like Into The Wild, but I can’t help but wonder how practical that is.

It would appear that a visitor at Burning Man has discovered a way to make one of the smallest self-contained homes that I have ever seen. Weighing in at 100 pounds, this micro house tows easily behind a bicycle.
