How many options do you really have when you’re dead? I know its a bit of a strange question, but it’s one you might want to ask yourself.

by Julie

Last night I had a dream that I was flying, when I woke up I realized that since the beginning of time man has wanted to be able to experience the joy of singular flight, to be able to soar like a bird on wings of their own. For me, I think it was just the banana split I ate before bed, but it made me look up gadgets that could let you fly anyway…

Check out Yves Rossy’s Jet Powered Wing, having always wanted to fly in the most natural way possible this Swiss ex-military pilot has devoted most of his time to developing, and perfecting his ability to fly like a bird with ridged carbon fiber jet wings that span about 8 feet, and are powered by 4 small but powerful jet engines underneath.

We all Scream for… Pizza Cones?

by Julie

 

Oh yes, I am a huge pizza fan and living within reach of some of the most famous pizzerias in the world sure doesn’t help to save me from my addiction. It’s all about the crust, it must be crispy, with just a hint of doughy-ness, all with fresh ingredients (you can always tell when the toppings are fresh) Since I know all the criteria, maybe I should make some pizza myself. Maybe, I should make something even cooler than a plain old pizza…

I know pizza is pretty much the perfect food, but I still want to tell you about Pizzacraft’s Grilled Pizza Cones, a nifty little pizza making set, that allows the dough to be cut, then formed on nonstick cone molds, and then filled with all your favorite toppings, kinda like a calzone, but baked, and served in a little non-stick cone holder, giving your homemade pizza presentation an huge dash of cool-factor.

The Pizzacraft Grilled Pizza Cones set comes with 6 pieces, including a dough cutter, 2 cone molds, 2 cone baking stands, and a dough crimper. The products are made with a non-stick surface and, of course, an instruction booklet that includes a few recipes. I see some pepperoni and ricotta cheese in my future. You can get one too, at amazon.com for around 25 bucks. And hey, don’t forget the Chianti.

 

Sticky Note Wristwatch – a Note to Self

by Julie

I have a lot of things to remember. I am constantly trying to file my bills properly by due date and write other stuff down on a calendar so that I don’t forget. Lately, I have turned to Post-It notes in order to remind me of the more important things, so now they are stuck all over my house, on my computer, my fridge and my bathroom mirror, problem is… the minute I leave the house… they don’t help me anymore.

Luckily, I found the Sticky Note Wrist Watch, made from yellow paper and adhesive similar to your more common Post-It note cube, these sticky little wristwatch silhouettes are ready to hold your most pertinent information and serves as the proverbial string around your finger when it comes time to remind you of just what it is that you need to get done.

The Festival Couch – with Motors and Speakers, Oh My!

by Julie

Ah the music festival… a rite of passage for every teenager, beer and bands, crazy dancing, tasteful (and maybe not so tasteful) full frontal nudity… fields littered with the young, and the young at heart, on lawn chairs, on blankets and towels, in varying states of consciousness. The music festival has been the same for decades.

Until now, what is that rolling down the field? Behold the Festival Couch, a solar charged, motorized, music infused sofa on wheels that can bring your personal “festival attendee” cool factor to the next level. Now you can enjoy the show in movable comfort and style, not to mention a mobile mini-bar. Continue reading » The Festival Couch – with Motors and Speakers, Oh My!

Bowser Beer for Dogs – Give your Best Friend a Brew

by Julie

 

I know the trend is to market stuff for dogs that people usually buy because they humanize their pets, (I know I do) even dog foods have gotten a whole lot more appetizing looking, even though King probably doesn’t care one bit. Gravy and whole grains, peas and carrots, or turkey in aspic? Most dogs would be happy to eat roadkill… but now they can have that tasty roadkill with a beer.

Check out Bowser Beer, obviously marketed to people, but made for your canine and actually good for them, Bowser Beer is a healthful meaty beverage that can give your furry friend a shiny coat, supple joints and more vibrant health. So go ahead, indulge your “party animal.” Continue reading » Bowser Beer for Dogs – Give your Best Friend a Brew

iNuke Boom – Really Big Sound for your iPod

by Julie

First I need to call your attention to the tiny white rectangle in the upper left quadrant of the above picture… That’s an iPhone, and the rest of the picture is the speaker dock. Yes, I agree, a picture that included a small car might have brought the whole size thing into a bit more focus, but we work with what we have. Suffice it to say, this thing is huge.

This enormous speaker system measures a ridiculous 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall and weighs in at more than 700 pounds. This steroidal system offers up a deaf defying (yes, that was on purpose) 10,000 Watts and over 130 decibels of mind numbing, chest thumping power. The threshold of pain comes it at around 120 decibels, just thought you should know. Continue reading » iNuke Boom – Really Big Sound for your iPod
