Heated Lotion Dispenser keeps hands clean and warm

heated-lotion-dispenserWe humans operate best at an optimal temperature, too cold and it would be inefficient for us to walk around all wrapped up like a puffed up mummy, too hot and the sweltering heat would just about sap one’s energy away before doing anything in the first place. Going to the washroom is something that most of us do every single day, and after we’re done with our business, it is time to wash them hands. During the winter, your hands might get cold very fast, which is why the $39.99 Heated Lotion Dispenser does its bit to help by making your hand lotion warm, soothing your digits as you spread the lotion all over.

The Heated Lotion Dispenser is a snap to use – all that you need to do is fill up the 16 oz. reservoir with your favorite hand lotion or body lotion, where the coil heat design will ensure that the lotion inside will warm up (without spoiling or altering its chemical make up) in a matter of two minutes thereabouts. Of course, it will need to be plugged in in order to work, and there is an LED power indicator light to inform you that it is turned on, alongside a 5′ cord with an on/off switch.

Steve Talkowski’s Robots Will Take over the World… in a Cute Way

Look at these amazingly cute robots. Steve Talkowski made these robot images for an art challenge called March of Robots. They look like actual toys or models, but sadly they don’t exist in the real world.

They are all rendered in 3D, some with photographic backgrounds. They are amazing works of art. If he 3D printed these robots as toys, I would totally buy all of them. I’d be broke, but I would have some swell robot buddies.

Sony May Have Had a Chance at Titanfall

If you don’t own a gaming PC, an Xbox One or 360, you may be bummed out that you won’t get your hands on the game Titanfall from Respawn Entertainment. It’s definitely one of the coolest games that have hit those platforms in a long time. Now it sounds like Sony had a chance to get int on the Titanfall action before the exclusivity agreement was signed.

Respawn reportedly approached Sony about the game early on, and asked for specs on the PS4. Sony declined to offer any specs for the console saying it was not ready to talk about it. Had Sony coughed up those specs, the PS4 and PS3 might have been the exclusive place for the game – assuming the financial terms had worked out between Sony and Respawn of course.

Sony did reportedly offer to help Respawn build Titanfall for the PS Vita portable. Respawn obviously turned that offer down, opting for a launch on another next gen console instead. That was a good move; Titanfall is way too good to be offered only on Sony’s rather unpopular PS Vita portable.
