Fashionably patterned earphones

July 2nd, 2009 by Ally in Audio/Video Gadgets

headphones_1

Women wear earrings anyway, so it would make sense that their earphones should look a little more feminine since those are in their ears a lot too.  These headphones vary in styles from the slightly punk, to even pretty dainty designs.  None of which really come off as stereotypical girly.  They don’t just slap a coat of pink on it and ship them off.  Some of the patterns would even work for guys that are into the punk look quite a bit.

Supertendo DIY project rocks

July 2nd, 2009 by Edwin in DIY Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

supertendo

Most of us would have great memories of the SNES during its heydays, with Super Mario World being one of the flagship titles that had us ranting and raving about the gameplay and graphics, while other titles that showcased the SNES’ Mode 7 capability clearly demonstrated the console’s superiority over its bitter rival, the Sega Genesis. Well, modder Marshall has done a magical job with his self-dubbed Supertendo that looked almost professional, boasting a lovely white exterior that is well crafted, holding a SNES cartridge behind with a lovely LCD display and controls all in front. You won’t find this available for sale anywhere though since this is a one-off creation, although we’re sure folks would flock to buy one if it was ever produced.

Cuddly Pandas

July 2nd, 2009 by Edwin in Childrens Gadgets, Toys

cuddly-pandasSo your little one’s birthday is coming up but you are at a loss for ideas on what to get him/her? Well, if the kid is still young enough to settle happily for a plush toy, how about these Cuddly Pandas?

These Cuddly Pandas are just too cute for words. We’ve only just managed to photograph them - it was an absolute nightmare distracting our designer so we could steal them back and move them to the studio. And who can blame her? Those big soppy eyes, cute furry panda faces and fur coats that are softer than soft (we’re talking about the toy, not the designer) make them almost impossible to put down. Well, if you’re lucky enough to bring them home you won’t have to. You could quite easily fall asleep on them, face squashed against their plush ears. Patch The Panda and Little Patch are sold separately, and, while it would be a shame to split them up, we’re sure you’ll take good care of them.

Patch the Panda is going for £29.99, while Little Patch the Panda has a smaller price tag of £14.99. At least you don’t have to pick up after their poop.

Uchiagehanabi Brings Fireworks Indoors

July 2nd, 2009 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Toys

sega_toys_projector-620x465For those of you who haven’t checked your calendars lately, this Saturday is the Fourth of July, that patriotic American holiday celebrated with fireworks. I’m sure most people in the U.S.A. know where they are going to spend their evenings that day, but Sega Toys Japan has figured out a way to put fireworks indoors.

This device is known as the Uchiagehanabi, and I have no idea what that translates to. It can projects the images of fireworks on the wall and the ceiling.

Some of the firework images are 1.5 meters wide, and it they have all the proper sound effects including the booms and dramatic suspense. They also have fifty-five patterns of various sizes and colors, and creative ways of making unique displays. Hopefully, you can make some very spectacular grand finales.

Doppelganger Robots

July 2nd, 2009 by Mark R in Robot Gadgets

xianchaoren-small11Take a look at the photo to the left. These are not twin brothers, or some sort of photo trickery. As it so happens, one of these men is a robot.

Yeah, I don’t know which one is fake either. However, I think you should know that this technology is available. Just so you can be free of your Stepford Wives nightmares, this robot cannot walk and talk, or be some evil version of you who will go about doing bad while you take the blame.

No, what you are looking at is one of those animatronics like you would see at Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but a bit more realistic. The best you could hope for is a figure that would sit there and move its head and eyes in a realistic fashion. The might be enough to fool a boring college professor.

The Why Cry Baby Analyzer

July 2nd, 2009 by Ally in Childrens Gadgets

bea5_why_cry_baby_analyzer-thumb-200x196-22914

Although a baby crying is just one of those normal parts of having a baby, sometimes it’d be nice to know why exactly they are crying.  Typically it’s pretty easy to figure out, give them a bottle or change their diaper and you’re good.  However, sometimes the crying just keeps going, so at those points it would be nice to have a translator.  Oddly, Think Geek is there to rescue you with this Why Cry Baby Analyzer.
