Being a total bookworm, I have a thing for electronics that make a little night time reading more convenient. Really in reality all you need is a small lamp, not much is actually needed for reading your book. However, if you’re committed to your reading habits you might get some joy from buying accessories to go along with your hobby. Although something like this isn’t completely necessary, this is probably the most ingenious design I’ve seen when it comes to reading lamps.
Apparently the overly popular “Got Milk?” ads have gone to one designer’s head. Now even when you’re not having a glass of milk, you can show appreciation for the beverage with this odd little lamp. It obviously won’t illuminate much, and couldn’t be used as even so much as a task light. However, it would add a nice glow to any room you decide to place it in. It would also make a nice night light for the kitchen and would blend right in.
This next device is currently not available at any particular catalog or website, but it really should be. After all, ThinkGeek is already offering the Electric Drum Kit Shirt, so why not one that is a Piano?
The DIY Wearable Toy Piano shirt is designed for a DIY Festival that was held in Zurich last weekend. You can go to the Instructables site for some step-by-step instructions on how to make this homemade gift.
Some of you might remember ten years ago seeing The Avengers, a movie version of the popular British spy show from the sixties. The movie was a big-budget dud, and I only bring this up because of a scene where John Steed (Ralph Fiennes) and Emma Peel (Uma Thurman) walk across the Thames River in giant plastic balls.
These massive spheres filled with air are available in real life from a company called Waterwalkerz.com. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you are able to effortlessly walk on water with perfect balance like Steed and Peel.
However, if you like the idea of being a hamster in a ball, then this is the key to hours of fun at the pool, beach, or lake. Check out the YouTube video after the jump if you want to see these in action.
Everyone remembers the signature calculator watch, it was far from geek chic the first time they came around. However, Casio is making an attempt to make them look cool, or at least cool enough to pass for geek chic. I doubt they’d become cool enough to be deemed trendy at any point. Well in order to add a little appeal for the geek crowd, now they’re adding a burst of color to these watches. They still of course look cheesy, but for the brave geek soul, they might be the perfect watch.
Take Darth Vader’s head, mix it with the buttons on his chest, and then merge them into one gadget. The result would be the Logitech G13 Advanced Gaming Keyboard.
Actually, Logitech reveals in a recent Press Release that the G13 is really a combination of the Logitech G15 keyboard and G9 Laser Mouse. In this same release, the company promises that the G13 is a more superior model than other gaming keyboards.
“Unlike other gameboards that focus only on programmability, the G13 advanced gameboard incorporates the principles of our award winning Comfort Wave design…the G13 gameboard gives you a powerful advantage over those forced to work with less.”
If you have an area of the house that it’s a pain to see, it might be nice to have something set up for in case you can’t find a flashlight. Yes, you could purchase any number of night lights that are either battery powered or plug into a wall. However, it wouldn’t look nearly as cool as this concept design by Jeong-Sun Park. All the battery powered lights that are meant to stick onto the wall look cheap and not nearly as chic and interesting as this door knob light bulb.
The winner of last week’s coolest gadget competition is the Peanut butter machine.
The Peanut Butter Machine allows you to create your own buttery peanutness at home! Just add peanuts! And it will take care of the crunchy/smooth debate too – just pick which kind you like and it’ll deliver it in minutes. You can use any kind of shell nut so you can create your own nutty buttery mixtures and best of all, you’ll know exactly what’s going in them – no additives or other nasties.
Congrats again to Decide What to Buy.
