Hmm, I never thought that plants were that much work. Sure, every once and awhile they need watering and the occasional rays of sunlight can’t hurt, but is it really that much to ask?
Supposedly it is, because people actually buy the Automated Plant Watering System which lets you be even lazier than you already are.

There’s wacky and then there is really really wacky, which is certainly the category this next product falls in, the Gentleman’s Willy Care Kit.
It has become legit for the man to be well dressed, smell good and to be well groomed in general. And this, of cause, also goes for the “little guy” down south.
In the Gentlemans Willy Care Kit you get a styling shears, a fluffing brusk, a sprucing mirror and some bling bling for the “thing thing”
Available from gadgets.dk for DKK 99,00 (~17 USD)
I’ve not come across many cool pond gadgets (the only cool think about most ponds is the temperature), so I had to share this “interesting” pond extension, the Fish Loft.
The fish loft is a clear tube that when placed correctly in your pond allows you fish to safely escape the mundane existence of swimming in a hole and instead swim up into the outside world, though how you encourage your fish to swim up the tube I’ve no idea.
You can get further info and buy the fish loft from err Fish Loft, found via Crib Candy, thanks.
When a single-engine plane crashed into an Upper East Side apartment building on Wednesday, Fox News Channel delivered early video to its viewers from the crash site using a hand-held mobile phone with live streaming video.
Scott Wilder, a Fox cameraman, had been about 20 blocks away on another assignment when the crash occurred. Wilder ran uptown and reported live from the scene using a hand-held Palm Treo Smartphone that uses the existing mobile network to transmit video to the Fox News control room. From there, Fox News sent it out live on TV to supplement other video being shot by local traffic helicopters.
The picture quality from the crash site wasn’t spectacular, but it was live. Wilder was also able to talk to “Studio B” anchor Shepard Smith on the same phone and give a live “man on the street” report to Fox viewers.
As these advanced video phones become more and more popular, we can probably expect a surge of citizen journalism. If YouTube can make anyone an Internet celebrity, a video phone can make anyone a reporter. Right?
If your idea of night time fun is creeping up on people and shooting them in the back with a dart gun then this is the gadget to do it, the Night Vision Goggles with Dart Launcher.
They wouldn’t look out of place being worn by a villain in the next Spiderman movie. The goggles incorporate a green night vision lens (to aid in nighttime espionage missions), the dart launcher and 2 bright LED white lights so that you can blind your victim before shooting them.
The dart launcher goggles are available from that normally some what educational shop Discovery for $19.95.

I’m pretty sure you must be be sick of cubes right now, I mean that after reading about the Rubiks Hub that can handle 4 devices at the same time, and the Apple Store glass-cube-style that doesn’t please the Muslims, there is an imposing shape that starts to get annoying. But since I like to torture people I bring another cool gadget with the cube as shape - the USB Cube Card Reader.
It’s a small and portable (the size of a keychain really, this image works as a proof) USB2.0 card reader that has 2 versions compatible with the following memory cards:
The PlusDeck 2c offered a way to get your tapes digitized, but it required a bit of installation which is really only good for the most geeky of users. I consider myself a geek and would rather not have to mess around with screws and all that.
Just like the PlusDeck, the oddly yet descriptevly named PhonoPreAmp iVinyl offers away to digitize both your cassettes andold vinyl records. Better yet, no installation is required as its completely USB based.
