Rubik Table
I always found the rubic cube a bit annoying, doing one side was easy, one side and a few rows not too bad but all 6 sides darn impossible. I was amazed to read recently the record for solving it is just over 11 seconds, geez that’s cazy.
Well this gadget like furniture is one rubics cube you’ll never need to solve as it’s a table. The rubics table is a giant sized version of the original rubics cube, which thankfully can’t be shuffled and would look great in any retro game room (pinball machine in the corner mandatory).

AOL CDs are Useful
This may be old but it’s still retro cool and a great use for junk CDs, the AOL CD Throne.
The throne was built in 2003 by somebody who had way too much time on their hands, consists of 4,000 CDs, weighs over 150 pounds and has a neon light but you’ve still got to wonder why

Sun Dial Watch

LED Watches
Fancy being retro cool, if so you want to check out these LED watches by the appropriately named Led Watch.
I never owned one of these first time round, in fact I’m not even sure if I was born then (or just too poor 
) . Unlike today’s watches the LED watch had one function and that was to tell the time and if you were lucky the date too. To conserve battery and LED life you actually have to press a button for the time to show, as the LEDs are fairly bright you can easily see the time whether it’s dark or light.
A UK company is manufacturing and marketing these retro time pieces (Led Watch) and they’ve been good enough to give us 2 to have a play with and also award as prizes in a competition that we’ll be announcing soon.
