This combination step-ladder/ironing board could be useful if you’re in a pinch for storage space. You can fold the ironing board down to reach for your peanut butter sitting up there in the cabinet. After getting food all over your nice shirt, you’ll be forced to wash it and eventually iron it. Fold the device upright and you’ll have a ...

Ever wonder why burglars are less likely to break into your home if they see a TV glare off of a window? Me too. Chances are it’s just some lazy couch potato that you could mug for a few hundred bucks, but instead, burglars take the safe approach, waiting for signs of vacancy before breaking in and leaving with a ...

Apparently, putting a faucet in a work bucket is carte blanche to call it a beverage dispenser. However, we’ll let this contraption slide only because it holds six gallons of beer.

In more depressing news, nerdy engineer Drew Burrows has created a 2-D virtual image projected from the ceiling to your bedsheets called: INBED. Reminiscent of the virtual guard dog, this 2-D image interacts via “infrared sensitive” light, making it respond to various actions you’d do to a loved one while laying in the sack. Except for sex. As for satisfying ...

Perhaps one day, our world will be ravaged by gigantic robots, nuclear war and stray cats. If this occured, would you really want to spend your days looking at dilapidated buildings and the sort? Of course not. Then, in comes the Augmented Reality Mask to save the day. Trust me when I say it’d go perfectly with the Urban Security ...
