We all Scream for… Pizza Cones?

Posted in: Today's Chili

 

Oh yes, I am a huge pizza fan and living within reach of some of the most famous pizzerias in the world sure doesn’t help to save me from my addiction. It’s all about the crust, it must be crispy, with just a hint of doughy-ness, all with fresh ingredients (you can always tell when the toppings are fresh) Since I know all the criteria, maybe I should make some pizza myself. Maybe, I should make something even cooler than a plain old pizza…

I know pizza is pretty much the perfect food, but I still want to tell you about Pizzacraft’s Grilled Pizza Cones, a nifty little pizza making set, that allows the dough to be cut, then formed on nonstick cone molds, and then filled with all your favorite toppings, kinda like a calzone, but baked, and served in a little non-stick cone holder, giving your homemade pizza presentation an huge dash of cool-factor.

The Pizzacraft Grilled Pizza Cones set comes with 6 pieces, including a dough cutter, 2 cone molds, 2 cone baking stands, and a dough crimper. The products are made with a non-stick surface and, of course, an instruction booklet that includes a few recipes. I see some pepperoni and ricotta cheese in my future. You can get one too, at amazon.com for around 25 bucks. And hey, don’t forget the Chianti.

Sticky Note Wristwatch – a Note to Self

Posted in: Today's Chili

I have a lot of things to remember. I am constantly trying to file my bills properly by due date and write other stuff down on a calendar so that I don’t forget. Lately, I have turned to Post-It notes in order to remind me of the more important things, so now they are stuck all over my house, on my computer, my fridge and my bathroom mirror, problem is… the minute I leave the house… they don’t help me anymore.

Luckily, I found the Sticky Note Wrist Watch, made from yellow paper and adhesive similar to your more common Post-It note cube, these sticky little wristwatch silhouettes are ready to hold your most pertinent information and serves as the proverbial string around your finger when it comes time to remind you of just what it is that you need to get done.

Simply scribble your notes on the pad and place it around your wrist, never again will you forget to pick up milk, or mail that letter. Between the little yellow bangle, and people asking “what the heck is that on your wrist?” you will have a constant reminder of whatever you needed to know. The Sticky Note Wristwatch is also bound to be useful on college campuses everywhere, helping students “remember” test answers or telephone numbers.

You can get a single 100 page pad at amazon.com for around 13 bucks, and yes, it does seem rather expensive for a note pad, but how do you put a price on efficiency? The only thing that concerns me now is how I’m going to remember to get one.

The Festival Couch – with Motors and Speakers, Oh My!

Posted in: Today's Chili

Ah the music festival… a rite of passage for every teenager, beer and bands, crazy dancing, tasteful (and maybe not so tasteful) full frontal nudity… fields littered with the young, and the young at heart, on lawn chairs, on blankets and towels, in varying states of consciousness. The music festival has been the same for decades.

Until now, what is that rolling down the field? Behold the Festival Couch, a solar charged, motorized, music infused sofa on wheels that can bring your personal “festival attendee” cool factor to the next level. Now you can enjoy the show in movable comfort and style, not to mention a mobile mini-bar.

Mardy Daniel, a 21 year old part time disc jockey came up with the idea for this living room on wheels while having a few cocktails with his friends (shocker) and has since launched the Festival Couch Company churning out mobile furniture, like couches and lounge chairs with motors, solar charged batteries and wheels.

The 1 to 3 seat couches are available for private functions, nightclub openings, charity events and festivals and they come in 5 different models, some with electric drives and fitted with DJ decks, Orion speakers or even a mini bar complete with 4 ice cold beers on tap. The Festival Couch Company will also entertain custom requests entailing special LED lighting features, massage cushions or a horn. I understand pricing to be the cost of the couch, plus around 2500 bucks to get her moving. yee-haw! Check them out at festival couch.com

Bowser Beer for Dogs – Give your Best Friend a Brew

Posted in: Today's Chili

 

I know the trend is to market stuff for dogs that people usually buy because they humanize their pets, (I know I do) even dog foods have gotten a whole lot more appetizing looking, even though King probably doesn’t care one bit. Gravy and whole grains, peas and carrots, or turkey in aspic? Most dogs would be happy to eat roadkill… but now they can have that tasty roadkill with a beer.

Check out Bowser Beer, obviously marketed to people, but made for your canine and actually good for them, Bowser Beer is a healthful meaty beverage that can give your furry friend a shiny coat, supple joints and more vibrant health. So go ahead, indulge your “party animal.”

Bowser Beer’s Beefy Brown Ale and Cock-a-Doodle Brew contain a delicious broth made with Water, USDA beef or chicken, Malt extract, Glucosamine HCL, Citric Acid, Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate, it has no flavorings, artificial color, fat, salt, or MSG. In addition, malt barley is actually good for shiny coats and the glucosamine aids in healthy joint function.

These special Doggie beverages come in a familiar 6 pack and is available in beef, chicken or 3 of each flavor in tamper proof, non breakable bottles with useful resealable caps. So bring them to your next BYOB, on a hiking trip or just sprinkle some over your buddies kibble for an extra treat. 6 packs are 20 bucks and they can even be personalized with custom labels for an extra $10 at bowserbeer.com. 20 bucks? Would you spend this much moola on a dog treat? Let me know, I promise I won’t tell Fido…

iNuke Boom – Really Big Sound for your iPod

Posted in: Today's Chili

First I need to call your attention to the tiny white rectangle in the upper left quadrant of the above picture… That’s an iPhone, and the rest of the picture is the speaker dock. Yes, I agree, a picture that included a small car might have brought the whole size thing into a bit more focus, but we work with what we have. Suffice it to say, this thing is huge.

This enormous speaker system measures a ridiculous 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall and weighs in at more than 700 pounds. This steroidal system offers up a deaf defying (yes, that was on purpose) 10,000 Watts and over 130 decibels of mind numbing, chest thumping power. The threshold of pain comes it at around 120 decibels, just thought you should know.

The dock comes equipped with a 30-pin connector on top of the unit that allows you to connect your iPhone or iPod touch and, luckily, in case there isn’t enough room to connect your iDevice, the speaker also has Bluetooth connectivity in order to play your audio selections wirelessly from any iPhone, iPod touch or most other Bluetooth compatible devices.

Look inside this gigantic monster dock and you will find a 3-way system with two 18-inch sub-woofers, dual neodymium mid-range woofers, and two titanium-diaphragm compression drivers for pumping out the high notes (think glass breaking). Look closer, and you’ll see me living in it, with a $30,000 price tag I’ll have no choice. While not yet listed on the Behringer website, it is technically available… I may need to wait for the iNuke Boom 2… maybe the prices will come down a bit.

QR Code Tattoos – it was Just a Matter of Time

Posted in: Today's Chili

Have you guys noticed QR codes turning up everywhere. Whats with these little suckers? They are on my groceries, newspapers, fast food packaging, they can be seen in shopping malls, on posters and on postcards. I guess we should have known it wouldn’t be long until someone started inking these codes onto their bodies.

Check out what may be the worlds first QR Code Tattoo, no longer are you stuck with a single image of the skull and crossbones you got in college, with a QR tattoo you can change what your body art links to, every single day, or simply animate your tag, by linking to a cartoon that imparts movement to your still life, make your skull sing, or that rose on your shoulder blade bloom.

The process is simple enough, tattooed in the location of your choice in the same way any other tattoo would be created and the QR codes function just as you would expect, allowing you to point your scan to anything you would like… a stock market ticker, breaking news report, social media status, joke of the day, or maybe just a picture of a different tattoo du jour… that could be ironic.

I suppose QR tattoos are slightly interesting, and I guess if I had thought about it, I would have realized they were coming, but then I wondered if there could be some real usefulness here, could doctors someday scan our tags for medical histories in case of an emergency? or could we permanently be marked with our identification or blood type. Will QR tattoos become commonplace or is this just a passing fad? Check out what most consider to be the first ever QR code tattoo HERE.
