If you thought the wood block clock was cool but find wood is not modern enough to your liking then this may be more to your taste, the Mirror Block LED clock.

It uses the same technology and offers the same features (time and programmable messages) as the Wall Mirror Clock we reported on but this one just has that extra cool factor IMO.

It’s currently only available as a special edition so costs £600.00 ouch!

This gadget is quite self-explanatory, however it’s a great idea. If you’ve ever been startled by someone coming up behind you and reading what you have on the screen, especially if it’s not something you’d like them to see , then you could benefit from a rear view mirror on your computer. It easily hooks onto your monitor so you can have eyes on the back of your head while at your workspace.

You can pick one up for just £4.45 from Ministry of Gadgets.

If we had a league table of the stupidest gadgets these would have to be very near the top, Indicatears, indicators for your ears. Read the rest of this entry »

If you want a humane, effective, and funny way to get rid of crows or other pesky animals that come onto your property so you can save your garden from being eaten or keep animals out of your garbage you may want to consider the ScareCrow Sprinkler. This automatic motion-detecting sprinkler will help you keep pests off of your lawn, and I think the reaction that you would get from animals when a jet of water suddenly shot out at them would be priceless, not to mention keep them away from your lawn for a long time.

You just have to set it up anywhere in your yard and attach it to your home’s water supply. It requires no external power as it can last for 6 months on a single 9 volt battery! It’s also very water-conserving as one detection only uses 2-3 cups of water.

This is a really neat gadget which can help bring note-to-self’s into the new digital era. This digital voice recorder is shaped like a remote but can hold large amounts of audio which help you organize your life or keep track of conversations.

If you find that you are often forgetting things but don’t like notepads as they’re too old-fashioned and time-consuming for you, then maybe the way to go is digital voice! It’s great as you can record separate files of clips which makes it so much easier than analog recorders. It’s also much more versatile so you can transfer your recorded between any digital devices such as computers or MP3 players. You can even put your recorded bits of audio into two separate folders to better organize your life.

Do your kids pester you continuously about getting a pet but you don’t want the hassle of cleaning or walking it? I might have the solution for you. You could own your very own ant farm!

You can watch ants live and burrow into highly nutritious, non-toxic gel creating a maze of patterns. The gel enabled NASA scientists to study how ants and animals behave in space and see how they react to zero gravity. Now you can conduct your very own observations.

This gadget would make outdoor activities and games a lot better at night without having to run extension cords across your lawn and tripping people all over the place. The Solar-Powered Flood Light is a powerful floodlight which you can leave outside all day to charge up then use for brilliant light at night.

The light is required to be attached to the included solar panel which has a 14′ long cable so you could put the panel where it would gather the most sun while the light can be put in a more practical area. It’s perfect for mounting on the side of your house so you could attach it to the solar panel on the roof.

In Europe the game is Boules while in North America the game is Bocce. Whatever you call it, it’s a great, fun game to play, however it’s not always that easy at night. That’s not a problem with these great light-up balls.

The game is quite simple to play. You begin by throwing the white jack ball wherever you want (the person who got points the last round throws) then you have to bowl the larger balls towards it, trying to get closer to the jack than anyone else.
