Want to try your hand at building your own house from the materials that are on hand? The Meco Press lets you turn the mud from your land into bricks – bricks that are strong enough to build a house of up to two stories in height. That is pretty awesome, but as always there is a catch. The Meco Press takes around 30 minutes to form a single brick – which is kind of [...]
The humble bar of soap doesn’t have a whole lot going for it – all too often it becomes a magnet for hairs of questionable origin – not to mention the little problem of what to do when the bar shrinks to unmanageable size. The soap grater solves both of these problems by using a hand-powered grating mechanism to grate your soap. At the moment it is just a concept, but it is one that [...]
This 5-to-9 clock only has the hours of 5 through 9 on its face. It is supposed to emphasize the work-life balance and be a reminder to make that free time count. It is over on Kickstarter at the moment, and if it gets enough pledges it will see production – but given that it has only received $195 of the $2500 needed that might not happen. It is a noble idea and everything but [...]
If you want to humidify and purify your air and don’t want to cough up for the extra electricity, you could try the Wool Ball. It puts your lazy feline (or canine for that matter) to work – as it draws power from being rolled around. The Wool Ball can be plugged in as well – just in case your pets and kids don’t have the energy to keep it going; because everyone knows how [...]
Tokyo Flash makes some off the wall, impossible to read watches, but Night Vision is surprisingly easy to figure out – and once you know what you are looking at, it probably wouldn’t take any longer to read than a regular watch. Unfortunately it is a concept, but the folks at Tokyo Flash will make it if it gets enough votes. So how do you read it? The minutes are displayed digitally – they are [...]
The Logitech G50 Vanguard is not just another pretty piece of gaming architecture, it is built to keep the repetitive strain out of cyber-athlete joints. The super-ergonomic G50 starts out with 11 buttons, but if you are the sort that likes to push the envelope and play around with mappable functions, you can take that total up to 23. Pretty sweet huh? I bet you want one – I know I would. Unfortunately, it is [...]
Irons are stupid and annoying and you want to know a secret? I don’t use them. The stuff I wear on weekends doesn’t require it and the stuff that I wear to the day job can usually get by if it is hung out to dry immediately after washing. When I need to be ironed up for more formal occasions, the dry cleaner next door to my house comes in really handy. I don’t iron [...]
Make no mistake about it, taking an infant for a walk in a stroller is no fun at all. Well, it might be fun for five minutes, but after that it pretty much sucks – trust me. This roller buggy, on the other hand, looks like an enormously good time. Strap your infant in, get scooting and let the good times roll – it has been designed with safety in mind. There is an extra [...]
This looks more like a toasted sandwich maker than a toaster, but whatever, it brands your bread with space invaders and that is a pretty cool thing. It is a concept from designer Chris Naylor, let’s hope we see a prototype. [Coroloft via Nerd Approved]
This concept tandem bike by designer Robert Egger is quite a sight to behold. Cannondale has been producing high-end tandems not too dissimilar to this for a while, so maybe it is time for Specialized to jump into the game? [DViCE]
Holocube, a company out of Belgium, has come out with a prototype called the holocube touch. They created the touch holocube as a tool to control multi color LED’s but it can be used for a lot of other applications. What those applications are is still a mystery. They even told us that a 42 inch holocube in the pipeline. Even if it has no true purpose… yet, it stills look cool. Thanks Peggy!
If you are planning a trip to the middle of nowhere sometime, somewhere that doesn’t have cell phone reception – you might consider getting yourself one of these (if they actually existed). The Lost Balloon is just a concept for now, but in spite of the extra weight that it puts in one’s pack, I think that it might be a pretty good one; especially for places that firing off a flare might start a [...]
