Ugly piece of pink

otterbox

Ugh, what on earth were they thinking making this pink slip for iPhones?

It’s horrendous.

I can understand the whole “rugged” thing but come on, that looks like someone ripped a child’s rain boots and shaped it into an iPhone case.

If, for the life of me I don’t know why, you like this case you can get it for $49.95 at OtterBox.

Face Bank

face_bank_1.jpg

Dropping coins into the piggy bank can be quite uninspiring. So a different kind of piggy banks are emerging, the face kind where you literally feed it with coins.

Not only do you save but you also entertain yourself. It’s like having a pet that feeds on money. The eyes acts as sensors to which it will detect your presence before gulping up the money you leave on its mouth. Neat eh?

Portable Solar Charger for Cellphones

You guys, I need to get myself one of these. It’s better than spending $15 million on an ugly house in the woods - I’ll buy $15million worth of these and pass about for people to use. That’ll make a better statement, no?

The Sony Handycam HDR-TG1

handycam-1.png

A perfect camera for the memorable moments in life. This Sony’s camcorder pretty much the no.1 choice if I am looking for a camcorder camera that shoots in HD.

The shell is made out of titanium as well, so that means the camera is light but not cheap-plastic light. A compilation of its specs:
* Records to Memory Stick PRO Duo media
* Sony’s ClearVid CMOS Sensor (with Exmor derived technology)
* BIONZ image processor
* 4.0 MP still images
* Sony Face Detection technology

The camera is going to be released on May 30, 2008. You can pre-order yours from Amazon today.

A video about robots

Mute the video as I find the music to be corny. But the robots presented here are pretty cool. We’ve definitely come a long way in respects to AI and it won’t be long before we have a robotic nanny.

Hey, they have a robotic donkey already, who balances really well even though you gave it a kick in the ass. :P

The light pole

thumb463x_polelamp1.jpg

This really cool light pole is basically a play on infractions of light rays that you can see using a microscope on fiber optics. Designer Paul Cocksedge wanted to create an illusion of a bending light so what’s better than utilizing a bit of children’s science and make a light rod that reflects light to make it seem like a bending light? All you need is a bulb at the base and long glass rode slightly bend at the top and voila, bended light!

QuickLime + Water = Hotbath

hillbillytheo_0.jpg

When you live in a hole with no entertainment whatsoever, ingenuity comes to play. So you live in somewhere dry, sandy and you’re a thousand miles away from the sea or the nearest spa. What do you do?

Well, nothing like a little bit of QuickLime, water and a few containers to turn a huge tank of water into the perfect jacuzzi. Of course, Quicklime can burn you and strip your skin off if you’re not careful but there is nothing like a little precaution can’t handle.

Large screen handheld Tetris game

tetris-gold-game.jpg
This seems like something a baby born in the 80s would like. It’s a homage to those years where one game systems were cooler than sliced bread. Of course, now, you can just get a PSP or a DS and play multiple games from one hand held console but what’s the fun in that? The Tetris Gold game is $35 a pop.
