Hasta La Gadget!

Can you remember the first time when you received your driver’s license? The feeling was definitely an exhilarating one, no? Of course, over the course of time, you might find that driving is a chore, especially when you have to juggle the timetable of three children who happen to have a daily schedule that is more packed than the President himself, apart from having to crawl through the daily traffic gridlock. Let us assume you have a musical streak in you, and you might want to blow off some steam right smack in the middle of the traffic jam by playing a set of drums. They are no ordinary drums, but I am referring to “Reinventing the Wheel (RITW),” which is a steering wheel cover that allows you to entertain yourself (and perhaps the rest of the passengers) whenever you are tuning in to your car stereo.

The RITW is the brainchild of the Smack Attack Corporation, where it will set you back by $149.99 a pop. It fits around an ordinary steering wheel, where it will then be transformed into an electronic drum set which is capable of playing up to eight different drum sounds, and that is only the start as the sounds will not be limited to drums alone. You are also able to include other sounds to its onboard storage, and it is a snap to trigger them from whichever one of the its eight sensors you select.

Smack Attack Corporation also offers a wide range of sounds that you are able to upload, in addition to creating your own and uploading those. Just to make sure that all of your creative efforts do not go to waste, it can also perform a recording of all your musical masterpieces, with the option to even overdub your performances on top of each other.

Let us hope that RITW will experience a successful Kickstarter project – in the meantime, you can continue to keep your fingers dancing across the steering wheel as practice.

I remember back in the days when the Sony Walkman was all the rage, and we lived in the world of VHS video recorders. Camcorders were a luxury back then, and those who were well off enough to afford one of these puppies certainly had a field day recording all of their fond family memories to be reviewed later on. After that came the digital revolution, and digital camcorders and cameras grew at an explosive rate, but somehow or rather, the advancement in technologies concerning the camera module on smartphones saw dedicated digital cameras and camcorders being pushed to a smaller market share, as most of the videos and photos you see online these days are captured using smartphones. Japanese firm JVC has come up with their masterpiece, the JVC Procison GC-PX100, which is a professional looking camcorder.

The JVC Procison GC-PX100 is a premium camcorder that was specially designed to capture high-quality video of fast-moving action, where it delivers high bit rate progressive recording in order to deliver high resolution HD images, and all of that would be accompanied by high-speed recording for super slow-motion video. Not only that, in order to keep up with the times, the camera’s high performance will work alongside Wi-Fi connectivity and specialized apps so that the GC-PX100 is ideal for capturing and analyzing fast-moving action.

The JVC Procison GC-PX100 is capable of shooting Full HD 1920 x 1080/60p video at 36Mbps, which is a bit rate that enables Full HD slow-motion playback, making it perfect for motion analysis as well as those who want to include special effects.

I am not quite sure about you, but most men do not bother with hair removal other than the hair around their faces as they shave from time to time, depending on the rate of hair growth, but ladies – man, the fairer sex certainly has more work to do as they go for Brazilian waxes, shave their legs and armpits. The destination of complete hair removal has many routes to reach there, where some choose waxing, others prefer to just shave, and others, pluck, with each of them having their pros and cons. Assuming you do not want to do any of the above, how about settling for the $79.95 Pinchless Electrolysis Hair Remover?

The Pinchless Electrolysis Hair Remover is best described as a home electrolysis wand that sports a smooth-rolling ball tip which will be able to remove hair without having to go through the painful pinching experience that one typically undergo with needle electrolysis. Using a similar sophisticated galvanic technology that is used by professionals, the wand will be able to transmit a harmless electrical current which, when used regularly, will destroy the germative hair cells and dermal papilla, hence preventing the hair from ever growing back. It is said that within a couple of months of regular 1.5 to 11-minute treatments (depending on the area), users will soon benefit from a noticeable decrease in unwanted hair on the face, underarms, legs, or bikini line. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries, each purchase of the Pinchless Electrolysis Hair Remover will also be accompanied by a pair of interchangeable roller tips, half a dozen reusable conductive gel pads, pre-application cleansing gel, conductive gel, tweezers, and a soft carrying case.
