Memo Motion Sensor

April 10th, 2007 by Andrew in Miscellaneous Gadgets

motion-sensing memo
The Post-It is soooo outdated, they require a pen, the tremendous effort of writing, and can easily be overlooked by the intended recipient of your message. However, there’s a much better alternative available: a motion-sensing memo.

Record your (short) message, place it in its cradle, and it will play it back when someone enters the room.

April 10th, 2007 by James in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Radio Life VestImagine being lost at sea – stranded alone on the high seas after barely escaping the deluge of a rogue wave sending your vessel to Davy Jones’ locker. You just barely managed to get your life vest on and now, bobbing on the high seas, you’re only hope is to be spotted by a passing ship or search plane.

Do you know when is enough is enough?

April 10th, 2007 by David in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Want Need Glass

More or less every single day we hear from some one who is stating that we need to save water or cut down on waste, but how on earth are we supposed to know exactly how much water we need to survive? Well the people, who brought us seats made out of recycled egg cartons, think that they have come up with a very useful and practical way to answer that question.

Paranoid benefit from Tape Recorder Blocker

April 10th, 2007 by Edwin in Spy Stuff

tape-blocker.jpgSo you’re currently living under the grace of a witness protection program, being constantly on guard against any suspicious characters lurking around who might actually seek some payback for your testimony that sent their paymasters into the dark, dank dungeon called jail. You rarely use cellphones or house phones to make a call as you’re worried about being eavesdropped upon. While it is commendable to be on guard at all times, we can sometimes get careless. This is where the Tape Recorder Blocker comes in handy, featuring a special design that blocks both digital and tape recorders in addition to a wide range of microphones that are used in transmitters and bugging devices. This is made possible as the Tape Recorder Blocker emits a sub-audible tone which is impossible to be picked up by the human ear, and yet drowns out virtually all recordings when played back.

CD Jewel Box takes on digital concept

April 9th, 2007 by Edwin in Conceptual Gadgets

concept-cd-jewel.jpgAny serious music lover would definitely have built up a sizable collection of audio CDs over the past two decades, and while the CDs sound as good as they were from the first day of purchase, the same might not apply to the CD jewel cases and album art. Chances are these cases will be scratched or even cracked, while the album art and inserts would definitely have received some dog ears through a regular thumbing process from yourself and friends who borrowed part of your collection. How about having a single CD jewel case that stores all your album art without the dangers of getting damaged? David Friedman thought of this concept by working on a digital CD jewel case.
