Twisted bean bag chairs


Yup, these bean bag chairs are designed to look like body bags. There's got to be nothing more comfortable than gettin' cozy sitting on a dead body. Yeah ... err, right.

Inflatable Flash Drive Physically Expands as Memory Fills


Very interesting site [here]. They have many other designs, including purses and Spongebob Squarepants.

The concept is cool -- you can see your flashdrive physically become "full" as its memory fills up.

From life, comes art


This interesting site, DNA 11, makes unique art portraits of your DNA or fingerprints. What an interesting way to obtain personally unique artwork.

Thanks to Sirreene for the link! :)

Zero Footprint PC


The ZPC (zero footprint PC) looks pretty cool. The tower and mouse are built into the keyboard. This would save some desktop space, and would even allow for some portability.

The pricing is a bit funky -- a whole $1000 only gets you 512MB of ram and a tiny 80GB hard drive. It's definitely not for the gamer or graphics designer.

But for those seeking a space-saving system for basic use (email, internet browsing, etc), this seems like an interesting option.

I want one! :D

You can get it [HERE].

Create-a-Chair


www.clothuk.com is an interesting website.

There, you can send in a photo -- any photo. They will create upholstery from that photo and will cover a piece of furniture with it.

For the less-ambitious, they have galleries of professional photos that can also be used for upholstering a piece of furniture.

I think it's a pretty cool idea :)

20.1" Widescreen Laptop


The Acer Aspire 9800 is turning heads.

With a 20.1" widescreen display, this isn't exactly the most portable laptop in the world.

But with a couple of built-in TV tuners, Intel Core Duo processor, and HD DVD drive, who cares?

Or, you could turn on a light ...



Wow -- lights attached to your slippers! What will they think of next?


They're called Bright Feet, and you can get them [here].


But I wonder ... what's wrong with simply turning on a light?


And is everyone's home so messy that they can't walk through it safely in the dark?


O_o

The Wonders of Duct Tape


Duct tape has been used for years as a tool of repair. A wise guy once said, "If it can't be fixed with chocolate, flowers, or duct tape, then it's not broken."

Venturing out of the field of repair, duct tape is now becoming a fashion statement. Belts, purses, wallets -- even prom dresses are being made with duct tape.

[This site] has such items for sale (although, you're stuck with making your own prom dress).



Protect Your Banana!


Do your bananas get bruised or smashed in your lunchbox or briefcase?

Get a Banana Guard! The hard, breathable plastic protects your banana so that it stays fresh and firm until ready to eat.

Yes, it's an actual product. [Order Here]

Because nothing beats eating a nice, firm banana ... :D



Get Your Genuine Aquarium Toilet


Affectionately named the "Aquariass", this aquarium will make your bathroom more exciting, yet more peaceful.

The wonderful odor of rotting fish filth will mask normal bathroom odors, improving the air quality of your bathroom.

The natural swimming motion of beautiful goldfish will enhance any bathroom decor. And when the goldfish die hours after you buy them, you can flush them down the toilet for quick and easy disposal.

Order this fantastic Aquariass toilet [here].

(Wha-at? You thought I was kidding?)

Circuit Board Business Card


Business cards are so boring. We accumulate hundreds (or thousands) of them, and they all look the same in the end.

But if you'd like to set yourself apart from the crowd, get yourself a circuitboard business card. [Seen Here]

Pretty cool.

It would be cooler to have a business card with flash memory built in, so that your business aquaintance could simply insert the flash memory into their PDA/phone/laptop/desktop and have your information instantly saved electronically ...

But ah well! I wonder what they will think of next? Résumés printed along USB cables? :P

Make a Sandcastle Cake!


Williams-Sonoma has made a sandcastle-shaped cake pan, so now you can make cute sandcastle-shaped cakes!

I thought this was a very cute idea -- especially with summer around the corner.

[You can order the pan here]

Okay, so all we need now is a nice recipe ...

Real Ultimate Power


I recently came across this book and nearly DIED laughing ...


Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book
by Robert Hamburger

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Ninjas

Written by Ninja expert and enthusiast Robert Hamburger, this book represents a lifetime of collected knowledge. Pouring over all available resources, Mr. Hamburger has pieced together a comprehensive guide to the artist of death we know as "Ninja." From basic facts to details regarding Ninja history and culture, this book leaves no facet of Ninja lore undisturbed. You will learn all you need to know to embrace the way of the Ninja and eventually become one yourself. Ninjas are cool; and by cool, we mean "totally sweet."

Here are some Ninja facts from the book – tidbits, if you will, to whet your appetite:

  • Ninjas are mammals.
  • Ninjas fight ALL the time.
  • The purpose of the Ninja is to flip out and kill people.
  • Ninjas fly all the time…not like birds, but more like hovercrafts….
  • In the olden days, ninjas would develop their strength by wrestling with dogs, playing video games, and just plain hanging out. Fortunately, not much has changed.
Publisher’s Note

Parental Advisory - immature content. Please do not do anything described in this book. Also, please respect bedtimes and other people.

Come on, you know you want it :)

Amazing -- Touch-Sensitive Holigraphic Display!


This is like something out of Star Trek, really.

They've made a touch-sensitive holigraphic computer display. It floats in mid air. You've got to see it to believe it!

See the article and video [here].

Pretty cool, eh?

Customize your ... toilet paper? O_o



Seriously. Website here.

Hrmm let's see ... what kind of slogan would be cool to have on toilet paper?

  • "Insert picture of Ex here."
  • "Introducing: Smart @ss! The only toilet paper scientifically proven to boost your IQ!"
  • Newspaper print.
  • On the cardboard roll: "Ha, ha! Loser!"

Any more ideas?

o0o0o New Gadget Thingy!


"Sony's paperback book-sized notebook PC with an Intel Core Solo U1300 processor, a 4.5-inch wide LCD display and a sliding keyboard."

Now THAT looks cool :P A laptop I can carry around with me in my purse ...

Interesting article here.

I wonder what will become of the whole "Blu-ray vs. HD DVD" competition. Will it really turn out to be something as silly as the "VHS vs. Beta" episode? I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)
