Japanese Pet Clock counts time in dog years!

Posted in A+Featured Gadgets, Animals, Cats, Consumer, Cool, Design, Dogs, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, Gifts, Pets by max on the September 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Here’s a brilliant pet clock from Japan.  It’s a clock customized for your dog or cat as time accelerated 7 times so you get a real “dog” (cat) years for keeping track of how old your pet is. (in his/her terms)

Thankfully though, this Pet Care Clock from Sega Toys is designed to do the difficult math for you. It’s your standard LCD desk clock that shows the time and date, but once you enter your pet’s birth date and specify their approximate size, the clock will also show you their supposed age. (Calculated with a variety of different formulas.) And if you’re the type who likes to celebrate a pet’s birthday you’re in luck. In theory if your dog is aging 7x as fast as you, they should also have 7 birthdays a year, and this clock will actually alert you to every single one of them so you can remember to pick up a gift and a cake on the way home.

DIY Rangefinder can tell distance using a Web Cam!

DIY Rangefinder can tell distance using a Web Cam!

Here’s a great free application that will turn your web cam into a range finder that can tell distance simply by calculating the height of stuff. Now, this will work really well on the golf course as the flagstick in golf is always the same. (of course, there’s a different stand for USGA and the UK so…)

This site will show you how you can convert your webcam into a modern range estimation tool without any hardware. The math is very simple, so this new technique works very well for vision applications that need to run quickly.

With a simple height estimation, the program will easily calculate the range to a distant object with high precision. The software will be next upgraded with motion detection.

DIY - HOWTO create professional look to your cds using the DYMO DiscPainter CD/DVD Printer!

DIY - HOWTO create professional look to your cds using the DYMO DiscPainter CD/DVD Printer!

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode

Wow, check this out. DYMO’s DiscPainter can help you create professional quality CD covers so you can keep working from home like me. :p

The DYMO DiscPainter creates excellent artwork for your CD’s and DVD’s, and it does it in a speedy fashion, but the real downfall of this device is the cost of operation. The device itself costs $280. The ink cartridges cost $39 a piece, which puts the the cost per disc at $0.39 for the cost of ink alone. You also have to factor in the cost of the CD’s, DVD’s, or miniDisc’s. DYMO recommends using waterproof glossy or matte finish CD-R’s, which can cost about $0.50 a pop. The manufacturer claims a lifespan of the DiscPainter at 2,000 uses. So when you do the math, you are looking at roughly $1.00 per disc (printer, CD/DVD’s, ink).

Wordpress Anti-SPAM Plugin - Math Comments Plugin

Posted in Blog, Cool, Wordpress by max on the December 10th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

After receiving DoS (Denial of Service) attacks from hackers and whatnot, we’ve decided to permanently place the Math Comments Plugin. Basically, robots won’t be able to waste any of our server’s precious time and bandwidth. I’ve seen almost zero SPAM comments on our other blogs such as Bedzine Mattress Store and Keetsa Mattress Store after this plugin was installed along with Trackback Verification plugin.

What does it do?

Well, you gotta be good in math or at least be able to add numbers. Until the spammers figure out how to do math, we should be okay and have less problems with our bandwidth.

Sorry for non-spammers out there, you will have to do a little math to comment but no big deal right?

For hackers, bring ‘em on! We love your challenge. We are ethical hackers and will spam, and hack you back 10 fold so… watch who u messin’ with, b**tch!  (We have a spam and DoS attacking machine here at Zedomax.com to counter-attack DoSers.)
