Metaphys Wall Mounted Power Outlet

October 24th 2006 00:44

Disregarding the title of this post, what goes through your mind first when you saw the picture on the right? It looks like a coaster viewed from the top, while those with zanier imaginations will most probably concoct a much better hypothesis. Save yourself some brain juice, it is actually a wall mounted power outlet which can be found in Japan.

The Metaphys Wall Mounted Power Outlet comes with grooves all around, enabling you to plug in more than a single appliance simultaneously since Japanese plugs are basically flat. There is a red light located at the center that will glow in full strength in the event of a power surge, so you will be able to know when to save your precious electrical items hooked up to it. Pretty neat, eh? Brings a whole new meaning to the word Plug-and-Play.

The music of love

October 8th 2006 04:31

Looks like Ukranians are a lucky lot as they are set to receive a musical condom to keep them entertained as they indulge in some horizontal hokey-pokey. Grigoriy Chausovsky of Zaporozhye, Ukraine, has developed condomes that come with a special sensor which knows when the condom is put on.

This integrated sensor will then transmit a signal to a miniature speaker (you have no idea how small or how loud it could get) located at the base of the condom, which will then play a melody. As the act of love making becomes more passionate, this sensor will register the corresponding speed of the movements and subsequently raise the volume of the melody.

Will this sound drown out your partner's moans of ecstasy? Well, I'm not sure but you can always import a packet from Ukraine to find out. Not sure how the components inside the condom is powered though - does it use kinetic energy? Where is the battery connected to? What's the wattage of the speaker?

Yet another groovy and interesting device that this zany world can think of. Necessity might be the mother of invention, but this could be taking it overboard. After all, it brings a whole new meaning to the catch phrase "the music of love".

Lego Ice Cube Tray

October 6th 2006 20:43

Here's something pretty interesting for you to suck on, and in a good way. The good folks at Lego have created a Lego Ice Cube Tray which churns out ice cubes in the classic Lego brick that we've all come to know and love. At least that is true for the older ones among us, as young people these days would probably be more interested in a Tetris-shaped ice cube instead.

I wonder when will people start to make tons of these ice cubes and construct their very own Lego ice sculpture. Either way, you can build bridges with good friends when you plonk a couple of these down in their drinks the next time they drop by your place. The Lego Ice Cube Tray is available online for $7.99.

What's cooking?

October 1st 2006 15:48

Despite its rather convoluted name, the Elite Cuisine Multi-Function 3-in-1 Breakfast Center comes with a list of functions which is almost as long as its calling card. This amazing device will suit any home well, whether it is dwelt by a bachelor or a family of four. You can now toss your oven, hot plate, and coffee maker out of the window when you pick up this $34.99 home appliance from Target. Hmm, there's nothing quite like a hot cup of Joe and some piping hot bacon and eggs to start off the day.

Are gadgets really necessary?

September 27th 2006 01:26

Can you imagine if they had blogs back in the days of the Neanderthal man? One would expect a typical blog post etched in stone, no less) to read like the following:

"Flintstone Inc. has recently released the Super Cutter Axe which features an Axe Head sharpened by Cyclops the Blacksmith in the fiery mountain region of Tiryns and Mycenae, capable of slicing through 45 heads a minute. The Axe Head is attached to a handle made from the finest compressed cypress wood from the hills of Lebanon. The Super Cutter Axe is compatible with the barbarian, warrior, and ranger character classes. Pricing details are currently unconfirmed, although it will be released sometime before winter so that armies worldwide will be able to replenish their armory with this potent weapon
