Sega Karada Trainer

by Edwin - on March 12, 2008

Sega Toys’ new Karada Trainer is an interesting plaything that looks like a normal pair of headphones, but when connected to an audio player, it will remind you of your current pace during a workout, and features the ability to monitor the wearer’s heartbeat courtesy of a sensor that clips onto the left earlobe. On the right side is a control module. Just make sure you key in essential personal information like your age, weight, and intensity level before you pound the pavement with this. The Karada Trainer retails for $56 and is a much cheaper alternative compared to Nike or Adidas’ solutions.

Rayzer auxiliary light

The Rayzer is an auxiliary light that is mounted inside the car, easily fitting right behind the rear view mirror with a couple of Xenon lights illuminating the road and shoulder in a totally radical manner. Since the lights are positioned within, this new position eliminates problems associated with auxiliary lights like theft, stone damage and dirt affecting its lighting ability. Sounds like a good place for you to start if you want to include an add-on to your new car. Manufactured by Swedish company Visualeyes, Rayzer will be made available to consumers from the beginning of April onwards.

Protect your home with un-bumpable, re-keyable KwikSet locks

KwikSet SmartKey

I remember when I first heard about lock bumping a couple of years ago. Honestly it really freaked me out. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s where someone with a specially-crafted key can thwart almost any lock simply by applying force in the correct way. It’s almost scary how easily it can be done with the right key. That’s why it might be good to look into a set of locks that cannot be bumped open such as these from KwikSet.

Classic Star Trek Communicator: One to Beam Up for Awesome.

by Carolyn - on March 12, 2008

star_trek_classic_communicator.jpgI’m coming off the Death Flu 2008. During my time of holding my bed down, I watched a lot of my Season One box set of Star Trek (the Original Series). Classic, buff Captain Kirk swaggering all over the galaxy with his ever-present Science Officer Spock and his impudent eyebrow cocking. Great stuff. The gadgets were awesome too.

Imagine my glee when I saw on Think Geek that they sell the Star Trek Classic Communicator! This is better than that time when I got that Tribble! From the website:

Now you too can talk to the Enterprise no matter where you are. Just flip up the grill, and you’ll be greeted with the lights and sounds you’ve come to know and love. But not content with mere beeps, the UFP has packed this replica with voice clips from the actual series. Delight as you hear Mr. Spock ask you if you want an armed party beamed down and thrill as you call the Enterprise and hear Bridge here, Captain. So equip yourself with the Communicator that futuristically prognosticated the invention of the cell phone, and get ready for a communication . . . from the stars.

MindMentor robot pyschologist

Will robots take over the world in the future? It sure sounds like it. They might be docile servants for now, performing domestic tasks such as vacuuming our homes while clearing out gutters and cleaning swimming pools, but surely they will one day decipher the secrets of the human mind and take advantage of our weaknesses the more room and space we give them. Take the MindMentor for instance – this online robot psychologist is the first of its kind in the world, and clients will pay a minimal €4.95 per hour. Developed by a couple of Dutch psychologists who specialize in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), the system has gone through its baptism of fire with tests on 1,600 clients all over the world, and 47% of them have responded positively that they are satisfied after only one session. I wonder whether the troubles of these satisfied folks are too simple to solve, or the MindMentor is THAT good.

OUiP! helps kids learn

by Edwin - on March 12, 2008

ouip.jpgYes, I know that we all love our kids very much, so much so that we’re willing to sacrifice our own lives for them. You love to see their curiosity drive them to learn new things, but somehow your heart drops when they manhandle your brand new dSLR camera and suffer from a case of acute butter fingers. While they are able to figure out how to use electronic devices in the quickest time possible, it would be best to help them get started with their own toys instead of your new laptop or Sony PSP. Enter OUiP! (Optimized Universal Interface Platform!, pronounced as “(h)wip”), an intuitive, interactive technology interface for children.

Mr T Bobble Head Van

by Matthew - on March 12, 2008

mr-t-van-bobbleheadMost of you will remember the classic A-Team that ran through the 80′s. Mr. T played a legend of a character named Bosco ‘BA’ (Bad Attitude) Baracas. He drove around in his cool black 1983 GMC van with the red stripe, red rims and spoiler on the back and got seriously mad at any scratch.

Now you can own your own Mr T Bobble Head Van for just $19.95. Currently WickedCoolStuff is taking pre-orders for expected delivery this month.
