LG Optimus 3D receives 3D game converter
Going 3D (stereoscopic 3D, that is) seems to be the in thing these days – first we have 3D TVs to help usher in 3D movies to the living room, nearly every other movie that appears on the silver screen today also sports a 3D version in order to rake in more moolah, and even gaming has taken the 3D route – see the Nintendo 3DS as well as 3D-capable titles on a PC and the console platform? Heck, even stereoscopic 3D has arrived on the world of smartphones now, with the LG Optimus 3D being one of them.
I’ve tried out some native 3D games on the LG Optimus 3D recently, and they do look good although my eyes tend to get tired after a while since it requires no glasses to wear, and when you move the handset around during the more frantic moments of gameplay, the viewing angle gets skewed – which is why my eyes need to constantly readjust themselves. Definitely far different from viewing 3D photos on the smartphone, that works brilliantly, but for now we’re talking 3D games on the LG Optimus 3D. If you have some 2D games on it and wondered how it will work in 3D, LG has released a 3D Game Converter app.

Sibling Tricycle promotes sharing
What’s life without a little bit of conflict here and there? The $299.99 Sibling Tricycle that you see above might cause a dent in your monthly budget, but at least it kills two birds with one stone, but I might dig up another feathered friend to the collection if I manage to find more points to support the purchase of this particular trike. For one, you need to buy only one tricycle instead of two, so that means a lower cost of maintenance in the long run. Even better if you gave birth to twins, don’t you think so?
Number two, you get to keep an eye on two of your kids simultaneously since they’d be on the same trike, instead of having one about to fall down from the tallest branch of the tree in the garden, while the other is about to make a dive into the shallow part of the pool. Surely managing two little kids on a single trike is far less heart-stopping, and easier of course.
Ah, the third ‘bird’ so to speak with a single stone – you need not purchase a larger bicycle for some time to come, since both sides are wide enough for stability, spring-cushioned for additional comfort and can be adjusted for growth spurts. There is even a wooden cargo box located behind the rear rider’s seat to stash away some toys or other items (but certainly not a third sibling!). Make sure you have a penchant for assembling stuff, otherwise this might lower opinions of you in the next parents’ poll by the kids.
Twilight Supernova for golfers who love playing till late at night
Not everyone has the vision of a cat at night – but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your game of golf even though you’re whacking away in poor light conditions. This unique £29.99 Twilight Supernova is a professional-quality golf ball which will feature built-in impact-activated LEDs. Once you tee off (or having some bunker issues, trying to chip your way through), it will flash rapidly to the tune of 7.2 times per second – and remain that way for up to 8 minutes. That ought to provide ample time for you to see the ball long enough and walk to it, don’t you think so?
Not only that, there is a back-up plan with the Twilight Supernova. The moment the LEDs stop flashing, Supernova’s patented After-Glow technology kicks in to make sure the ball will be able to glow brightly for several hours more. Available in blue, green and white colors, they look positively radioactive after you’ve given it a good whack. The built-in battery is able to last for around 40 hours or 300 hits whichever comes first, and I think it might even make for an alternative toy for cats to chase around with at night.
Ali Spagnola’s Power Album Shot Glass USB
I would have to say that I have no personal experience with drinking games. I can honestly say that this product is not for me, and I don’t think I can recommend it simply because I didn’t try it out.
At least I didn’t try out the drinking part. The Shot Glass USB comes with a USB drive that has 60 songs, all of them approximately one minute long. As the first song by Ali Spagnola states, you take a drink after each song ends.
In case you are worried about getting too drunk to hold the shot glass, it comes with a removable lanyard. The USB drive full of the music stashes nicely underneath the cup itself.

Eton is very good at making emergency products that are crank-powered, and the Road Torq is specifically designed for automobiles.
Have you ever had to change a tire at night? Not much fun, is it? The Road Torq won’t make the task any more fun, but it will make it easier, and safer. The Road Torq is a light with three retractable legs for easy storage that also give it the power to stand up on its built-in tripod.
The Road Torq has a 1.7 W LED flashlight with 90 lumens, and it is on a hinge so you can shine the light at some good angles. On the opposite site of the flashlight are 3 red LED flashing beacon lights, which will alert other drivers that you are at work.

BluestSoft DiskArchiver OneTouch Home
Many a time, we are told to make a backup of all our work, but the daily (or weekly, depending on your backup schedule) discipline seems to escape us majority of the time. Well, we tell ourselves, “If only there was something that can perform those backups for us with minimal effort.” Come on now, if you value your hard work on the digital platform, surely you would take all the necessary precautions to ensure there is a copy somewhere? I suppose since you’re all busy folk, a gadget that takes out most of the guesswork is perfect.
Hence the relatively small BluestSoft DiskArchiver OneTouch Home being introduced, where this USB device shares somewhat similar dimensions with that of the iPhone – albeit carrying not the functionality of a portable media player cum communications device, but will be embedded with powerful backup software instead.
