Join Stickybits – Because you have a lot to say and not a lot of space to say it in
Obviously, I spend a whole bunch of time time looking up cool stuff. Some days the things I come across are pretty neat, but every now and then I find something that makes me want to hang around for a while thinking, WOW, how can I use that?
Well here is one of those things, STICKYBITS, “A fun and social way to attach digital content to real world objects.”
Here’s what that means, Stickybits is an application currently available on iPhone or Android platforms. You sign up and download the appropriate app, and that’s where the fun begins.
The premise behind Stickybits is that you are able to print out barcodes, scan the barcodes and then attach all sorts of digital content to that barcode. Get it?

Beautiful Modeler uses an iPad for 3D printing
I thought that I would post this Beautiful modeler app just to show you the technological wonderland that we might live in one day.
Imagine being able to model with some digital clay on the iPad, and then being able to print it out later. This is the wonders of Beautiful Modeler. There is a video of it after the jump so you can gaze in awe like I did.

This is the greatest robot costume, ever!
I realize that I am about a week late for any Halloween-related postings, but this robot costume should win any costume contest in any month.
I don’t have the name of the man who made (and probably wore) this costume, but, according to my Source, it took 250 hours to build this costume.
You can watch a video of it in motion after the jump. You will note that the sounds of its footsteps are not the heavy metal clanging that you would expect.

FLEXiT Light is flexible for your needs
Some of you might remember when we reported on the Striker Magnetic Light Mine, which is a red magnetic ball capable of bringing light where it is needed.
The same company that made the Magnetic Light Mine has made the FLEXiT Light, which also capable of pretty much the same thing, but in a different way.
This “magic carpet of LEDs” can be folded and bent like you see in the picture. It reminds me of Black and Decker’s Snakelight, but instead of having a light on the end of the apparatus, lights are all over the place on one side. Just think of it as several Snakelights in a row, with lights on the spine and not on the head. So I suppose it would be like a…whatever you call a group of snakes, light.

SensEpil™ by Silk’n – because shaving is no fun.
Remember the very first time you talked your mom into letting you shave your legs, It was so much fun, exciting, and so grown up.

Air Hunterz Z-Curve Bow
Robin Hood wannabes, here is something for you to check out – the Air Hunterz Z-Curve Bow that costs all of just £19.99. The trusty bow has been Robin’s weapon of choice for a long time now, as well as his band of merry men, and you can now continue in his legacy without having to wear lincoln green all the time.
The high performance Air Hunterz Z-Curve Bow will rely on the time-honored (albeit pimped-up technology) tradition to shoot its arrows for more than 100 feet. Of course, these won’t be able to pierce human skin since they’re made out of some rather squishy material, with a quartet of strategically positioned tubular bands providing the necessary firepower with a pistol-style grip helping you steady the bow before you shot. All you need to do is place your arrow, draw back, aim and release. Each purchase comes with a couple of long-range arrows and one special Zartz suction cup arrow to have the latter stick where it matters.
360 Degree Oscillating Heater
For those of us living in the northern hemisphere, it goes without saying that the mercury has already started to drop ever since fall started, and with winter coming right up, it makes perfect sense to ensure that you have enough heating elements lying around – blankets for your family as well as guests, as well as a working heater. Of course, sometimes the weather can be that unpredictable that it could turn out to be unusually cold that year – which is where reinforcements are required. Hammacher has got your (cold) back with the 360 Degree Oscillating Heater, making sure that this portable heater will be able to radiate heat in a full circle, distributing warmth evenly throughout an entire room. A 360º sweep of this heater will ensure everyone in the room doesn’t have to huddle around like penguins, but can remain comfortably warm much faster. Each $79.95 purchase also comes with a palm-sized remote, letting you set the temperature as well as alternative oscillation modes of 90º and 170º. You can choose to set it to high (1500 watts) or low (900 watts), or to maintain a constant temperature with the built-in digital thermostat.
