DS-Controlled Robot 2008-02-07 03:43:07 Sit back, watch the video, and prepare to be AMAZED.
I don’t even have to say anything, it is what it says. Yeah but you know me, I’ll say something anyway (my blog, mine!). This is a Pekee Robot
modified by a bunch of engineering students to be controlled purely using NDS technology. Six ways to [...]
Bubblegum Sequencer 2008-02-04 01:21:51 What could be better than music and candy coming together to form one glorious gadget and symbolize youth, peace and happiness?
Well, a lot of things (and I do acknowledge that the latter half of that sentence was weird), but this still ranks high up there on my list. It’s true, this sequencer uses bubblegum as [...] Read more:Bubblegum
The Floor-cleaning DVD Player 2008-01-23 03:54:33 It sort of seems like a good idea, but then again what an odd combination — it’s a robot that cleans floors and shows you DVD movies through the projector on its head. It was manufactured by Tmsuk, and is officially called the RIDC-01.
The pros: You will have clean floors. You can watch movies. At [...] Read more:Floor
The Musical Chair 2008-01-17 03:36:04 GET IT? Okay I gotta admit, this looks cool. I found this on Jacob Mathew’s site, the same guy who gave you the Stereo Stilettos. By the way, that’s really what he calls it, the MusicalChair
. Ha. Here’s his description:
Nourishing our appetite for the visceral, music provides for us a feast of sensation. The [...]
Stereo Stilettos 2008-01-15 00:43:25 One word: Terminatrix.
But yeah I’ll shower you with more words anyway, coz that’s how I do.
They’re called the StereoStilettos
, designed by a certain Jacob Mathew (that’s not a typo), for Mathew Audio. His love for music and tacky shoes have brought us this hit-or-miss contraption. As you may have guessed, the shoes are [...]
Don’t Touch Me! 2008-01-09 22:19:52 Pink and round, with a heart-shaped nose and that sweet stare. Would you believe me if I said that this seemingly harmless little accessory, has the power to immobilize a 300-pound man?
Well, you shouldn’t. Coz it can’t.
It’s called the “Don’t touch Me! Lovely Pink Seal Stun Gun Lovely Taser Weapon” (Yes it is Japanese), and [...]
La La La Headband 2008-01-07 00:21:05 If you’ve ever had people walk around your desk, shouting at each other or at you about things that you aren’t interested in, then you’ve probably considered one of these options:
A. Slapping someone
B. Screaming at the top of your lungs
C. Turning your music up really loud
D. Plugging your ears with your fingers and chanting “Lalalalala”
I [...] Read more:Headband
Rock Hard Disk Drive 2008-01-03 02:26:45 It’s a rock! A “rock hard disk drive”! Get it?
…
Okay technically they’re calling it a stone, but I choose to call it a rock. But it’s not just any rock, it’s a 4GB hard disk designed by a Michael Leung. Yes, it’s small, only about 5cm. Wow.
The pros: Somewhere out there I bet there’s a [...]
Fireworks for the New Year 2007-12-31 00:47:16 So yeah I tried to find a nice New Year’s gadget, and this is what I found. This contraption is a DIY using a Lego Mindstorms NXT. According to the source creators:
It uses a MINDSTORMS NXT, two light sensors (one for navigation and other to detect a lighted fuse) and an Ultrasonic detector (to adjust [...] Read more:Fireworks
Keyboard Waffle Maker 2007-12-28 00:47:16 This is actually a piece of artwork designed by Chris Dimino, as part of a group exhibit for the School of Visual Arts. Apparently he used actual typewriter iron and plastic, melted to make this waffle maker.
The pros: You can practice your typing skills every morning before breakfast. You’ll have waffle batter stuck under your [...] Read more:Waffle
