Whenever I’ve met a celebrity in real life, the most striking thing about them is usually how odd it is to see them in a real-life perspective. We’re so used to seeing them on the big screen, that it’s hard to believe that you can be taller than some of these people. The Who Tall Are You? Mirror ranks your ...

They’re not the most beautifully designed item you might want lining your home, looking much like a small cactus plant you can pick-up at your local convenience store, the Grobal is more than just normal kitsch, but a self-watering plant pot. Water is sucked into the plant gradually through a reservoir on the bottom of the device. The Grobal might ...

I still love reading books. No matter how much is available for me to peruse online, there is something about reading off of a binded volume that never gets old. The only problem is that sometimes I find myself trying to copy and paste certain words and phrases, only to discover that my fingers don’t come with that feature (yet.) ...

The hour glass is no longer looked at as a reliable timepiece, especially these days with atomic clocks which are accurate within micro-seconds at all times. The Sand+Time Watch mixes the design of the hour glass with the modern digital readout. When the watch is on stand-by, a screensaver featuring a digital hour glass interface is shown. To see clock ...

Clocks are one of those gadgets that we don’t realize how important they are to our lives until we are left without one. Luckily, most cellphones these days come with a clock and alarm built right in, but for some people, this just isn’t enough. Some of us need that little (or sometimes, huge) extra boost of motivation to pull ...

Or so you might be led to believe if you are to take the false advertising of Thanko literally. I mean, we know that they are just trying to show arm movement, but it really looks like the model has some weird arm mutation. While I wouldn’t mind having an extra arm, I really wouldn’t mind having something like the ...

Coming in great handy if you were to ever become lost at sea…with a computer. The USB Morse Code Machine, from who else but useless USB gadget masters Thanko, helps you to master the lost art of Morse Code. Teaching you to dot and dash until you can’t dot and dash no more. Soon enough you’ll be having full conversations ...

Silence can be so uncomfortable. Even when you’re chilling with friends, there’s that awkward silence that is deafening with its nothingness. Otto (Greek for “ear”) is a device which you can hook up to just about any dynamic object or situation to hear sounds that are otherwise inaudible. Otto then amplifies the sound, creating a whole new ambient experience. For ...

Everybody who grew up in the late ’80s or early ’90s has owned a slap bracelet at one point in their life. And if they didn’t, they were most likely “L” to the “-osers”. If these E-Paper Slap Bracelets ever get to see the light of day, you, or at least your children, might get the chance to be too ...

I have to say, woman are interested in some of the tackiest gadgets of all time, most of which carry the Hello Kitty branding. The Mickey Mouse shaped M Player just got shoved down a notch in my book of classiness (which I keep handy at all times.) With the “ears” decked in fruity Swarovski crystals, and brandishing a revolting ...
