Can food, hate it, love it, we all need it when we’re off camping because they’re easy to store and easy to access. So the guys at ThinkGeek figured out a way to bring can food to greater heights. That is, making a survival sardine can food that includes many, many different survival items you might need if you ever, ever get stranded in the wild.

This is its content, there are 25 items all together. From fishing hooks to band aids.

Other perks:
* Holds emergency medical supplies, nourishment, navigation aids and more [see contents]
* Compact size that’s easy to carry
* Waterproof, floats in water
* Dimensions: 4.25″ x 3″ x .9″

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?

This is an eco-house that is made in a such a way that it generates more energy than it uses. It is an eco-house that is suppose resemble a flower of a certain orchid species. From this angle, it looks like a mutated lobster - but that’s okay the money spent on it makes it the most sensational monument ever build in the country side of UK.

I am not surprised that the anonymous buyer wanted to remain anonymous but rumors have it that the person is from the entertainment industry. I am putting my money on one of England’s knights.

Seriously, why would anyone in their right mind would spend $15 million on a house like that? So what if it generates more energy than it uses? If the purpose is to set an example then the target for such setting aims at the higher echelon of society only. Sure, like I have $15million in my drawers right now hidden under a pile of underwear. How about feeding some poor nation or sponsor 1,000 children from poor countries with that money?

Pffttt…rich people, they are not always smarter.

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

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!

It looks quite dangerous if you ask me. I wouldn’t want my fingers to get caught in there…or do i? *goes glassy eye* It’s mesmerizing you just want to touch it………

The Fart clock is a tool that toots every hour on the hour. I’d say if you have a fun room in your house, you might wanna add the Fart Clock in. You see, the Fart clock is a very savvy gadget because it won’t annoy you at night when you sleep. It actually stops farting with the absence of light, which is nice :)

It makes for a great present too, I think :P Each Fart Clocks are worth USD29.99 only.

If you’re not a really hands-on kinda guy, who can’t tell a carburetor to an engine or know which PSI your tire is suppose to be filled then these self-inflating tires are for you! Created in the Czech republic I can see how it would help the world AND Japan less one more headache to think about when they own cars. You don’t have to think about pumping air into your tires anymore, just remember to fill in your battery water. Or change your oil.

The tyres are inflated with a peristalistic pump, which keeps the pressure constant so it’s safe for driving at all times. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?

It is done, people. We can now go back to change what was wrong in the past and right today. Tom Gribbin*, a quantum physicist, has discovered a worm hole that will allow time travel to a specific year, day, hour, minute and seconds. But first you would need to build your own time machine.

You will need granite rocks of all sizes (about a handful), a Sega Saturn, 3 large celery stalks, spaghetti noodles, thumbtacks, a port-o-potty, and a Japanese cellular telephone from the 1980’s.

Step 1: Insert the celery into the Sega Saturn, and tie it down with the spaghetti noodles. You can experiment with various types of noodles to see which one works best. Maybe, Udons might work better.

Step 2: Take the rocks, and hit yourself in the head…

Step 3: Fasten the “Flux Capacitor” to the port-o-potty with the thumb tacks, and place the cellular telephone from the 1980’s on top of the port-o-potty. This will serve as your “Time Antenna.” Throw a few combs and a picture of Elvis on there for good measure. Insert yourself and what you’ve built into that “worm hole”.

Step 4: Sit inside the port-o-potty and close the door. As soon as you close the door, say the magic spell…

Time Travel!

Time Travel!

Have Mercy!

This recipe will take you back to 1993 only. So plan it out.

Obviously this is an April Fool’s joke, silly. But the discussion in Quantum physics about worm holes and the vector of time is very real. Only catch is these worm holes that leads back to various different times are never constant, making it almost impossible with our current technology to tap or utilize it. Still, it’s interesting. Aw come on, that post has to be remotely funny :P

*that guy does exist but his name was just randomly used because he is a believer in time travel :P

That equation above is a succinct as this post can be. Sony and Lombardia has been collaborating to create some of the most beautiful and functional gadgets. Did you check out the square frame speakers called CHO? It’s really sexy and I can so see it framing a room and creating beautiful music for that perfect harmony. Style and function do not always go together as we know.

1 ) HANA (flowers in Japanese).
HANA is a lamp (available in various sizes) in which is place a SONY digital audio player (removable) with speakers. The aim was to show a different approach on how to integrate music to an object that we use everyday without really paying attention to it…from there, we can imagine this system available on all kind of lamps and therefore, having access to our music everywhere at home…

2 ) SEN.
The SEN project consisted in finding the most elegant way to use a flexible screen on any surface, the example that we have here is a wall made of glass…it could be interesting to see this concept used on other objects such as mirrors for example.

3 )CHO, the speaker frame.
This is a marble frame in which were installed 4 speakers (the subwoofer is a bit further) giving a whole new meaning to the word SOUND…the way it is “emitted” or “diffused” can somehow be visualized from the centre of the frame…at the same time, the artist wanted to use it as a way to open new horizons…

4 ) KAKERU.
Possibly the best way to combine an Virtual Surround Sound audio system and a classy rack!
The way this one was made and displayed really stood out and made it very nice to look at…

5 ) MATOI, a new skin for your PC.
MATOI represents the next level of PC customization with the use of fabric or leather…the qualitic of the work was excellent but got me wondering if those laptops remained “usable” on a daily basis.

6 ) YUI.
YUI is a CD player with built-in radio thrown into a metal and wood piece of work, exactly the type of product I wish I had at home!

7 ) TSUKI (the Moon).
Some people wouldn’t want to watch a movie on anything else than a good video projector, but, for some reasons, most of those products failed to deliver an attractive design…TSUKI changes this matter of fact thanks to a Bravia HD projector integrated in a small table…really nice!

8 ) ZA.
Now that you have the TSUKI, you need the ZA, which is an armchair made of leather in which were placed stereo speakers putting you right INTO what the action, I’ve been dreaming of this for ages!

9 ) RIN.
The Standing Speaker…. The RIN is as pretty as the sound that comes out of it, the high tech design seems taken out of a Science Fiction movie…yet another impressive creation.

10) HIBIKI and KANADE.
2 more speakers combining glass and metal for a striking look!
