Pachi Pachi Clappy is the Sound of One Hand Clapping

Oh, Japan. It’s been at least a few weeks before you came out with a completely silly gadget that we don’t really need, but we do really want. What we have here is the Pachi Pachi Clappy, which I was ready to order solely on the basis of its name. But for those of you more discriminating buyers, read on…

Apparently, clapping isn’t just used for applause in Japan – it’s something people do before meals and even when praying. But how can you clap when you’ve got your other hand busy holding a cup of Mountain Dew flavored Cheetos? Clearly, you need a gizmo for that, and Pachi Pachi Clappy has you covered. It goes without explanation what it does, but watch this video anyhow:

Say, that sure sounded a lot like the music from Sugar Rush in Wreck it Ralph. While you contemplate that, have some more Pachi Pachi Clappy:

You can get your hand on your very own Pachi Pachi Clappy over at Japan Trend Shop for $27(USD).

Snap Clap App: Clap Your Hands, Say Cheese!

Posted in: Today's Chili

There must be a better way to take pictures of yourself without having to painstakingly set up the timer and running all the way to join the others who are already posing for the picture. It’s pretty clear who’s in charge of setting up the timer by just looking at the photo: just pick out the guy or girl with the haphazard hair and frazzled expression.

There are triggers and remotes for this kind of thing, of course. But if you can’t be bothered with that and don’t mind clapping to show the world you’re happy (and that you’re eager for a picture), then you can get the Snap Clap app for iOS devices instead.

It’s basically a simplistic trigger app that snaps a picture – every time you clap your hands.Now you’d probably have to worry about you clapping your hands in the photos, but that’s better than looking all haggard and unkempt, right?

The cool thing is that the app also has some post-processing tools up its sleeve, such as filters that you can apply to change the look and feel of your photos. Snap Clap can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for $0.99 (USD).
