I’ve just discovered the greatest invention since the beer launching fridge. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the R/C Drinks Cooler! Specifically designed to expedite the delivery of cold lager to waiting mitts, this nifty battery-operated ice bucket is the ultimate in decadence for any self-respecting layabout. Simply fill it with ice, bung in the …

A New Level Of Lazy
Oh god. First we had the self-stirring mug. Now, for the even lazier, we have the self-rotating ice cream cup. Yup, put ice cream in the inside compartment, stick tongue out and press go. It spins by itself, so you don’t have to lick around. Oh boy. We’re all going to be fat slabs of …
Dancing To The Beat Of A Different Drum And Talking To The Hand
Have you ever thought to yourself “gee, I’d love to dance a jig, but I have no music. If only I could dance and create my own music!” No? Didn’t think so. But somebody did, and is working on a pacer suit! Apparently, as you dance, it generates the music, which might only play in …

Distance Perception Study
I just thought I’d link to a cool study being done so that perhaps it would help get more participants. Martin Talbot is a PHD student in human computer interactions at the University of Waterloo. He’s trying to design a navigation system for blind people. But unlike the makers of the Swan and the Mygo, …

Oh well, hopefully it will pick up before it’s done. I can’t believe I’m halfway through that French class I joined. Things are going very …
Something Tells Me This Product Isn’t Going To Get Its Moment In The Sun
I think it’s great that Triumph International wants to make a solar bra. But I think they have two huge problems: 1. people don’t usually like to show part of their bra, which they’d need to do to give the solar panel the light it needs to create enough juice to power your cellphone, mp3-player, …

Future Aids
I’ve found a new place to buy things. What kind of things? Braille things. Talking things. All kinds of neat things. They’re cheap. They have neat descriptions of their things. Some of them even have instruction sheets you can read. I just bought a talking pedometer, and you can listen to its voice. It only …
