It’s the turbofan toaster

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Entrepreneurs, Food, Funny, Gadgets, Household by david on the December 20th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Most people like a piece of toast every now and then, but with a conventional toaster it sometimes catches and burns or is under done, which is a bit of pain.

However this is the toaster to beat all toasters as it will make a piece of toast within fifty seconds, which will mean that the baked beans will not get cold while you are waiting for the toast to cook.

The fans will wiz around at 10,000 rpm, which is how the toaster can cook a slice of toast in about third of the time that a normal toaster would take, so it saves energy too.

If you have noticed our post about how to be a moron and learn to not be rich, that WAS a big joke so go check out Can’t Get Rich and learn how to double your traffic by collaborating on a “set” blog-fight and talking trash all day long to bring more traffic.

BTW, Geoff, that was a lot of fun. Let’s do another one soon. We will have to stage it better or pick a more popular topic I guess…

Sonic on the iPod

Posted in Audio, Computer, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Games, mp3 by david on the December 19th, 2007 at 10:00 am

Now you can get that little sonic the hedgehog on your iPod and this time it is legally, and this time it has all of the features (well a good amount) of the games as you have come to expect.

sonic

The touch wheel is where all of the action is controlled and the centre takes on the role of the A B and C button on the original controller, however to make this game into a superior version they would have to add something extra, and this they have done with bonus levels and higher stages, which is really cool.

This can be downloaded at the iTunes store for only $4.99.

Get your name in lights

Posted in Art, Business, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Graphics by david on the December 19th, 2007 at 8:00 am

This is the light message board, where you can write the message that you want your friends or colleagues to see, flick the switch after choosing either flashing or blinking and your message will be seen anyone and everyone, which is so much better than leaving notes around that disappear and nobody ever sees.

light up message board

As well as setting the flashing or blinking, there is also an option that allows you to change the colour to single or multi colour mode.

This device runs on three AAA batteries.

Priced at around $40

Another space invader game

Posted in Computer, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, Gadgets, Games by david on the December 19th, 2007 at 6:00 am

Yet another space invader device has hit the shelves, but this one is a bit more substantial that just a mat or ring, this is a mini version of the legendary game itself.

Space Invaders keyrings

This great for anyone who likes the game or anyone who just likes the game or any game in many version just has to be good, and so annoying for the people around you too. It has screen cover that when lifted becomes a screen shade so the light does not settle on the screen.

Priced at around $20

The large one

Posted in Art, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Food, Funny, Household by david on the December 18th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

Most people like a drink every now and then, but isn’t this taking it just a little bit too extreme?

big glass

This is a glass that will stand on the floor and can be filled with ice for cooling up to four wine bottles, or you can just pour all of the wine into the glass and drink it all in one go. Of course if drinking is not your thing then it can be filled with anything else that you like.

Priced at $269.95
