There are a few ball shuckers on the market and they’re all ergonomic,
enabling you to throw a ball pretty darn far – sometimes too far! – for
your dog without stressing your throwing arm and shoulder too much. But
the Planet Dog Wood Chuck is not only ergonomic, it’s real eco-friendly and extremely stylish. What a cool design!
Plastic pink flamingoes decorating people’s lawns and gardens have long been considered the height of tacky to some people. For others the birds are a delightful touch of color and whimsy to their outdoor living space. If inventor Justin Lemus gets the nod from Quirky.com you will be able to take your flamingoes indoors in the form of these Flamingo Lamps that some may find a bit kitschy,
Kids love to play fight. Just give them a few seconds of idle time and their minds will transform them into all sorts of characters. Soon enough you’ll hear them making sound effects for their movements and weapons. But the problem with being their own foley artist is that they can’t pew pew pew and spew killer lines at the same time. The Mega Stomp Battle can help with that.
The Mega Stomp Battle is composed of a small box and a wand that emit sound effects when you walk, wave the wand or push the wand’s trigger. It has 10 sound banks or character types, such as a knight, a giant monster or a pirate. Each sound bank has at least six sounds for different types of movements like walking, attacking and more.
Someone on YouTube said we should watch the video on mute. I disagree. The guys in the video look stupid even with the sound on. But you might not care about how you look once you’ve tried living a life with sound effects. You can order Mega Stomp Battle from ThinkGeek for $40 (USD).
Foldable.Me’s highly customizable miniature characters are the result of
an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign that resulted in simple
and fun to make your very own “mini me,” without having to spend
billions on cloning technology.
Just about all girls get frustrated at some point in their lives when they are told that they can’t do something because it is only for boys. While the issue has been getting better over the past few decades, girls still hear this message coming at them in so many ways. One is in the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. While a fun story overall, the girls are sidelined. A project seeking funding on Kickstarter proposes the story of Rosie the Reindeer to show that girls really can do anything.
The rise of digital technology has expanded the range of visual art to unimaginable levels in recent years. Without ultra-sensitive photography, the mind-blowing organic forms of Corrie White’s liquid drop art would be impossible. Luckily, the combination of creativity and technology has allowed her to make quite a splash in the art world, and the mesmerizing dance of water and gravity that she is able to capture makes for some truly unforgettable art.
As a kid who grew up in the 90’s Jurassic Park and its iconic velociraptors made a lifelong impression on me and my imagination, so I’d have flipped my lid with excitement if I discovered this bipedal beast under the Christmas tree!
Zombies are scary. Sharks are scary. Combine the two and give the resulting abomination the ability to fly and you’ve got the coolest/creepiest Halloween toy ever!
Getting a Sun Tattoo is not exactly a new idea. Kids have been doing it off and on for decades. You take a bit of tape and paste it to your skin in a design and then go out for some fun in the sun. By the time you come back indoors the design will be the reverse of being burned into your skin. Inventor Mitch Lun has taken this old idea and updated it to be 21st century — instead of just tape Sun Tattoo comes in different self-stick waterproof patterns.
Choosing a mate isn’t as simple as shopping for a new pair of jeans
(which is a task that many women dread, so we can’t underestimate the
complexity of jean shopping). But one bold, international company wants
women to select a man by browsing the available options in a store using
a process that’s not unlike shopping for denim. Except that you’ve got
to try your selections on for size after you take them home.
