Another strange combination

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets by david on the September 14th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Naturally this comes from the UK, and in order to save time and energy they have somehow manage to combine a toaster and teapot together, which anyone would say is strange and possibly dangerous. Because you have liquid and electricity all in the same device, which just cannot be a good thing.

But for those who like to live dangerously and are probably a bit eccentric too, then this really could be for you.

And if you were really interested in buying one of these things then it will set you back around $40, but please use with caution.

Get yourself some sun

Posted in Auto, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets by david on the September 14th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

Now you have got a car that does not have a nice sunroof, what do you? Go out pay $200 or for one, or would like to have a sunroof that is transferable from car to car without any hassle at all?

Well with the one that this guy has, you can do all of that with no problem. The fake sunroof can be put on and taken off of any car and it has all of the looks of a real glass sunroof, but without being able to open it, clearly he has not thought this one through!

Blackle - The energy saving version of Gooooogle

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Earth, Energy, Funny, Web by max on the September 13th, 2007 at 1:53 pm

Blackle

Check out Blackle, it’s a Google-based search engine that supposedly saves energy by making the background black. But when I do searches, it seems to give you those limited results kinda like the Google search bar on Zedomax.com. I think all they really did is put a Google Search on a black HTML page. (Maybe we will make one to and get some traffic.

Blackle Traffic

Talking about traffic, check out Blackle’s web traffic! Blue is Blackle and red is Zedomax. Wow…

An all white page uses around 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses around 59 watts to display, so you can see that there is a saving there, no matter how little. However Mark Ontkrush of Eco Iron has done the math. Check out the results on this page.

Well OK then its not a “Real” iPod casing, but it’s a good idea for a imitation, bottle openers are beng made out of alost anything these days, now its Apple’s turn.

Try taking this on vacation

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Funny, Games by david on the September 13th, 2007 at 8:00 am

The Japanese have some funny ideas about what cool and what not, but maybe they have gone just a little too far with this one.

grenade clock

The grenade alarm clock is very exciting way to get started in the morning, and all you have to do is throw it at a hard surface; a wall would do, in order to switch it off.

No prices yet, although I do not expect it to be going on sale in the states anyhow.

Everyone likes to have a little hiding place, especially at work, colleagues can be so nosey!

Now this piece of works has really shown how out of a problem comes a solution, and what a solution this is.

By the way, fridges are not just for beer, they’re great for wine too!

DIY HACK - Painting with light…

Posted in Consumer, Educational, Entertainment, Graphics, photography by max on the September 12th, 2007 at 11:48 pm

Painting with light…

Check out how you can create some nice photographs with light added.

Here is how it’s done:

Set your camera on the tripod and take a sample shot with flash / lights on. This will help you verify that your composition is OK.

Set the exposure to a relatively long value. Stop down the aperture as much as you need. If you are outside do nothing. If you are inside - this is the time to close the lights.

Make the click. Once the shutter is open use your flashlight to light the stuff that you want to “paint”. You can use the flashlight as a brash, and “smear” the light, just like you would have done with brush and paper. Or, you can use the light as a pen, and do precise work. Areas where you go slowly will be more lit then others. Be careful not to linger to much over the same stop - you will burn it. (The machos amongst you will correctly identify this as the “I forgot the iron on the shirt” phenomena).

Plusmo coming to iPhones

Check it out. Plusmo is coming to iPhones. Although my review on Plusmo has not been so great, I do like their new website theme design and willing to try again with my Blackberry 8830. In fact, maybe I will put Plusmo logos on all the websites…hehe…

A custom interface gives iPhone users access to more than 20,000 Plusmo widgets — most of them created by users. The service is live at http://iphone.plusmo.com.

Content providers, media houses and bloggers can now extend their services to the iPhone through Plusmo widgets for free within minutes.
