Ever since this $599 rope grenade, er, maritime rescue device came in, we’ve been dreaming about zip-lining out the window to escape boring meetings.
Fisher Price Apptivity Case is your baby’s gateway to the iPhone. I want my 2-year-old to be smart and healthy and well-adjusted. I don’t know how smartphones and tablets fit into that. Worse, it seems like there is simply no …
With nearly 2,500 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations in
home improvement, lawn & garden, pet care, plumbing, paint and
enough helpful gadgets to choke a Home Depot this May 7-9, you bet that
we’re excited for the 2013 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas!
Although the 2013 International Home + Housewares Show has come and
gone, the convention’s 2,000+ exibitors from 35 nations left us with a
massive hoard of innovative goodies. While there’s no way that I’d be
able to share everything that was presented in Chicago’s ultimate new
product party, but here are a few especially cool things that caught my
eye at this year’s event:
The arena of geek fashion has evolved far beyond the domain of
pretentious, pabst-sipping sods. Geek Chic is no longer a
self-referential term used by people who are trying to sound like
intellectuals. Rather, it’s a wide, all-ecompassing term which
incorporates a wide array of fashion and design choices. Far from being
something ironic, it’s a celebration of all things geeky. Today, I’d
like to hit you with a dose of that geeky fashion: video game controller cufflinks.
Human beings have a primal, unshakable fear of the unknown. It’s
something that’s been hard-coded into us by evolution: back when we were
all living in the treetops, the dark places of the world held a whole
host of predators ready to tear us limb from limb; the deep night was
one of the most dangerous times of day. The most skilled, masterful
horror artists use this fear to great effect: the human imagination is,
after all, an incredibly powerful tool. In other words, the less you see of something, the more frightening it is.
That’s the whole basis of the virtual reality game "Deep Sea."
The Benki RC Japanese Style Toilet from Tokyo’s Strapya World takes the traditional Japanese squat toilet to a new, lower level by reducing its size and adding wheels. Why? Because Japan, that’s why.
For those who have always wondered about how those X-Ray Specs from your youth worked, here’s everything you probably never thought to ask.
If you’re a budding inventor between the ages of five and twelve,
with a desire to create the next “Clue” or “Monopoly,” we encourage you
to throw your board game design into the ring for the National Young
Game Inventors Contest!
It’s the end of the week and it seems like just about everyone in the world but you has plans for the evening. You don’t feel like cooking for yourself, you’re against the idea of dining out alone, and there’s no way you’re playing the third wheel again like last week. Relax, Incredible Gifts may have just what you’re looking for. All you need is a working faucet and an empty bathtub.
