Tio Light Switch teaches kids about energy conservation

November 16th, 2009 by Ally in Childrens Gadgets, Conceptual Gadgets

energy-ghost

Kids are notorious for leaving lights on.  They don’t have the burden of knowing how high that energy bill really is when they constantly leave the lights on within rooms they aren’t using.  This light switch was probably created to save the earth, but it might be nice to have purely to save your sanity.  With this visual reminder of how much energy is being used, it might help you keep your energy bill down.

Michael Jackson 3D scan up for auction

November 16th, 2009 by Mark R in Miscellaneous Gadgets

originalIn 1997, Michael Jackson had a 3D scan taken of his body. Some have supposed that this was part of Michael’s plan to build a virtual reality double of himself, but honestly, we don’t know.

After all, this was the man who slept in a plastic tube during the eighties. Who knew what was on his mind? Considering all the controversy surrounding him with his court cases, maybe we don’t want to know.

Still, this 3D scan data has been put on sale by an anonymous seller for one million dollars. This seller says that: “it [the 3D scan] immortalized him at the age of 37, before his nose was disfigured and when he was in the prime of life”. Really? The prime of his life was in 1997? I would have thought it would have been during that “Thriller” or “Bad” era.

Headtime Scalp Massager

November 16th, 2009 by Mark R in Medical Gadgets

500x_headtime1Hey, isn’t that Reese Witherspoon? I didn’t know she was into biking and drinking honey tea! Seriously, it’s some model wearing the Headtime scalp massager.

Yes, it is supposed to make your head feel better, but I guarantee that it won’t make it look better. In fact, if you were to look at the inside of the helmet, you might not feel so good at all.

There is about 29 silicon balls for acupressure and 34 ceramic balls. I believe that these little spinners have these soft spikes on them. I believe that the purpose of it is to spin and soothe your aching brow. Apparently, this is much better than someone else rubbing your head to relieve you of your pain. I’m guessing that it won’t get caught in your hair, or only bald people like Lex Luthor could use it.

Etch A Sketch Freestyle makes curved lines easy

November 16th, 2009 by Ally in Childrens Gadgets, Toys

etch_freestyle

Those of you that thought some toys were far too sacred and classic to be updated should probably look away, because you’re probably not going to like this one.  Instead of your kids playing with the same old version of Etch A Sketch that’s been around for years, they can have a fresh new version.  A version that basically takes any and all challenge out of drawing pictures on the screen.

SecureShot clock is nanny-cam with Atomic Clock

November 16th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Cool Clocks, Spy Stuff

nannycam-thumb-542x426-28461This next product must be for those who really want more control in their life. The SecureShot is a way for you to watch others, and it has an atomic clock.

I suppose you could call it a Nanny-cam, just like the one seen in Meet the Parents and The Nanny Diaries. Unlike the cameras put on stuffed animals, this one looks like an ordinary clock.

Assuming you think that an atomic clock is ordinary. Yes, this is one of those clocks that will always be accurate, and if the batteries run out, the clock will be back on time when they get replaced. Looks like it can also do the temperature as well.

The very subtle Tempo Time Tag

November 16th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks

tempo

Most people have found themselves just glancing at their cellphone to find out the time, rather than actually wearing a watch of some kind.  However, there are some who prefer not to carry their phone at work due to policies within the work place.  Anyone who has ever been stuck in a boring meeting with the clock behind them knows what it’s like to truly wish for a subtle way to check the time.  This Tempo Time Tag is small enough that it’ll slip under the radar and no one will ever know you’re anxiously glancing at the time.

Robolamp DIY creations

November 16th, 2009 by Edwin in Robot Gadgets

robolamp

The next time you want to purchase a lamp to dress up your home, we would recommend holding off that trip to Ikea for a moment. After all, why go for Swedish-designed products when you can settle for something which is totally different and unique in the form of the Robolamp series? Using bits and pieces from a hardware store, these pipes will hide all the essential electrical wiring underneath, where the head of the robot functions as the lamp. Too bad there is no remote control associate with this though – it would’ve made it infinitely more desirable and fun.
