Hasta La Gadget!

They say that music makes the world go round. Wait a minute, or is that money? Either way, I am quite sure that fans of music as well as money would agree that both of them will inject life into a dour world, so for those who feel that they were born to groove to various tunes and music, here is the Jalapeño Beat Maker that might be worth checking out. A Kickstarter project that has not yet met its funding goal of $53,000, the Jalapeño Beat Maker is a portable device that will remix music in real-time based on your tricks, turns, and spins. In a nutshell, you would end up being the beat yourself.

Each time you move, your music will be tweaked in order for it to match your tricks, turns, and spins. The more you ride, I guess it is safe to warrant a guess that you end up being one with the beat, now how about that? The early bird Jalapeño Beat Maker package would cost you $199, and assuming that this particular Kickstarter project actually gains traction and take off, it ought to begin delivering from October this year onward. Being weatherproof and durable, you know that your next skiing or snowboarding session is never going to be the same again. [Kickstarter Page]

If the phrase ‘caveat emptor’ (aka buyer beware) applies to anything, it’s Kickstarter and other crowdfunded products. Wonderful things are promised by optimistic designers, inventors, and marketers, but rarely are they delivered. That’s not the case with Modular Robotics’ new MOSS robotic building toy, however. Having already successfully brought its Cubelets to market, the company has created a new kind of building toy that will appeal to both kids and engineers alike.

I don’t mind shopping, by myself. I hate shopping with my wife because she expects me to carry everything. I think she waits all year until I go with her and then tries to buy everything at once. Typically, I end up with a 75-pound bad of clothes in each hand, with nothing in the bags for me. People like my wife need Budgee.

Budgee is a lightweight robot that carries your stuff for you. The ‘bot is a three-wheel unit with a soft bag attached for you to put your stuff into. It can carry up to 50 pounds, and uses a rechargeable battery good for up to eight hours of use per charge.

Budgee is designed to follow you from a preset distance. The robot knows to follow you because of a small transmitter you carry with you. The robot works in conjunction with a smartphone app to warn you if you get too far away from it as well. You can also control the robot thought the smartphone app.

Budgee is on Kickstarter now seeking funding and a pledge of at least $1299(USD) by February 1, 2014 will get you one of the first robots with delivery set for July.

We have seen our fair share of Kickstarter projects in the past, and this time around, here is yet another one which is pretty interesting. Known as the Power Pillow, the creators behind it have dubbed it to be the “world’s first pillow that recharges smart devices.” It sounds rather glamorous, but basically, the Power Pillow happens to be a soft housing for a battery pack which is able to juice up your mobile devices whenever there is no power outlet available in the vicinity. Having said that, it makes perfect sense then for the Power Pillow to take the form of a standard pillow which will come in various designs, where they will be able to hide the clever way of charging your range of portable devices, including smartphones, tablets, and other kinds of devices which can be powered via USB. In a nutshell, the Power Pillow functions as the housing for the lithium-polymer battery pack.

Other than opening up the door for you to juice up your devices on the move, it also lets you keep your charging smartphone close to you at all times, making sure you will be able to attend to that incoming call or text message without having to be somewhere else. Right now, the Power Pillow project seeks to raise CAD$30,000 (US$28,000), and all you need to pledge is CAD$132 (US$125) to bring home a full Power Pillow charging system should it be successful.

Power Pillow Another Kickstarter Project That Wants To Take Off original content from Ubergizmo.

There is nothing quite like sipping on your favorite beverage first thing in the morning, with your favorite breakfast menu laid out before you. The thing about coffee and tea is this, you only have a certain window period where you can get the best taste at the right temperature, before it starts to get all cold. Well, with the Temperfect Mug, it is the ideal tool for you to own in order to enjoy your hot beverage for hours on end, all without having to burn your mouth ever again. The Temperfect Mug is the ideal home “appliance” that is the brainchild of hot beverage experts Dean Verhoeven and Logan Maxwell.

You know what they say – necessity is the mother of all invention, and having been frustrated with the inability to drink a lovingly brewed coffee right after making it, only to be greeted with a cold sip afterwards, the Temperfect Mug was invented. Basically, the whole idea of this particular mug is to take the excess heat out of the coffee which is way too hot, stash that heat in the wall of the mug, and then follow up by using it to ensure that the coffee remains at a pleasant drinking temperature. All of this is made possible thanks to the additional layer of insulation thrown into the mix.

This particular additional insulation layer will be able to absorb the excess heat from your drink, where it will then be able to bring it up to a comfortable temperature in a jiffy. The stored heat will subsequently be released slowly into your drink, ensuring that the temperature remains just right. The Temperfect Mug is a labor of love, as it took months of calculation and modeling to complete, before another 15 years of making, testing, and improving prototypes. Now this is real dedication that we’re talking about!
