Google GMail has added another cool feature that will prevent users from sending unwanted drunk e-mails at the middle of the night.  I think it’s a good idea, I admit to sending some e-mails that might have been better kept in my draft box.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?

Here’s a really funny DIY on how to make goggles from deodorant and plastic can holders. Now, I wouldn’t really want to ever use these goggles or make them (because they are so stupid) but it is very amusing just in case there’s a fire in my building and the only thing I have with me are deodorants and cans of coke.

Here’s an interesting RocketShield, that will protect you from rain on your bad weather commutes. Personally, I would never spend money on something like this but there’s should be plenty people who might be in need of this.

For the record, this shield does seem to have aero-dynamic effects so you don’t have to crouch down going at higher speeds.  Maybe the racers might start pickin’ up on this.

What originally started as a remedy to keep the rain off of my face while commuting daily from Ensenada, Mexico to San Diego, has now evolved into a whole new riding experience with results that have far surpassed any of my previous expectations.

The most frequent question I’m asked by people analyzing this never seen before spectacle on wheels is, “What’s that for?”
After riding with this canopy on for over a month now in all different types of weather and road conditions, I can finally wrap up all of my answers into one word…..”Comfort”.

With my Rocketshields canopy, I no longer have to wear a full face helmet that squishes my fat cheeks, fogs up when its too cold or too hot, impairs my peripheral vision and hearing, and makes my head smell like a sweaty sock. I now sport a skateboard style motorcycle skid lid without having to wear sunglasses or goggles. Even at high speeds, the turbulence felt and heard is equal to that of driving a car with both windows rolled down.

Here’s an interesting experiment where a Bat Goggles are used to allow the user to experience bat’s auditory cues.

Please do not wear these in hazardous environments or in traffic! These goggles are for educational purposes only and meant for controlled environments since they are intended to block your peripheral vision and regular vision so you are more reliant on auditory cues.

I am not responsible for any injuries as a result of wearing these goggles! Thanks!

Since this is based on Arduino, you could easily add a Zigbee or blueSMIRF module to interfaces these with computers wirelessly. Future work might be adding a dial to adjust the sensitivity and adding a on/off switch.

Now you can take your cellphone underwater with you with this underwater cellphone cover. How clever is that! Someone should have thought of this earlier.

It even allows you to take clear pictures! (goggles for your cell?)

I know the first picture is difficult to see as it is a translucent case on a white background…as we say in Japan, shouganai. Cell phone cameras are getting better so you can use them for taking photos once reserved for your pocket camera. For underwater shots, Corega gives us a waterproof case, the CG-WP-C10 and CG-WP-C20. The two cases are different sizes so one of them should fit your portable.
