Last week’s coolest gadget contest had a familiar winner, yet again Gaj-It took the crown with the exceedingly cool Funtrak Paintball Panza, I’ve seen these in action and they look a load of fun.

The concept of paintball warfare has been around for a while as a way for you to bond with people by shooting painful, orange pellets at them. Well, for your next office party,you can really get to “bond” with the Associate Directors by shooting at them from a tank (don’t tell me your heart didn’t leap at that sentence, I know it did).

….

This may appear to be just a regular pop can.  One with odd and cheaply done artwork along the sides.  However, this can is another mini humidifier in disguise.  It’s meant to sit on your desk just like the Personal Humidifier that utilized a water bottle.  However, this can will blend in with your daily caffeinated beverages instead of stick out like the other humidifier.  The only thing to set it apart is the USB cord and on odd looking top.  Well and not to mention it puffing out bits of steam.  I suppose normal cans don’t do that, so that would look a little odd.

It’s that time of week again, please vote for what you think is coolest and leave a comment for a chance to win a $50 Amazon voucher, winners will be announced on Tuesday.
