E-Fuel MicroFueler Turns Sugar, Stale Beer Into Gas For Your Ride
The dream of a home ethanol pump has been realized, says the New York Times, thanks to inventor named Floyd S. Butterfield. One of the world's only celebrated non-hillbilly still-makers, Butterfield has invented the $10,000 E-Fuel 100 MicroFueler, a gadget that combines heaps of sugar and a sprinkling of yeast to ferment an alcoholic brew which it then distills into ethanol. The notion is that, as long as the price of sugar stays relatively low, it could cost about $1 per gallon to make the fuel. It's even cheaper when you put un-drunk stale beer in the system: Since the fermentation is done, all it takes is the electricity to distill the beer into10 Anti-Sobriety Gadgets For True Weekend Warriors

Chill a Can of Warm Beer in 20 Seconds
Are there any tragedies greater than really wanting a cold beer and only having warm beers on hand? Without thinking too long about it, I'm going to go ahead and say no, there aren't. That's why I'm excited to see this method of chilling a warm can of beer down to a frosty, drinkable temperature in about 20 seconds. Sure, it's much more expensive and stupid than just planning ahead and using a fridge, but when you're in a bind you're in a bind. [Book of Joe]

Sorry Dogs, Beer Robots are a Man's New Best Friend
While dogs have been man's loyal companion for many a era, advanced technology has made them obsolete. Thanks to Chassis, the lovable, pony keg carrying R/C beer-dispensing robot, you'll no longer need to learn the defining characteristics of Weimaraners and terriers. Instead focus on the subtle differences between your favorite IPAs, or just stare (in a drunken stupor) for hours at Chassis' blinking lights—before a friend comes by, addresses the phallic nature of Chassis' spout, and your dog has a new crap catcher for long walks.

Now, this is what microwaves were invented for—forget about reheating your coffee, or drying your underpants out in an emergency, or heating your pajamas. Nope, if you're Washington University research engineer William J. Beaty, it's all about melting beer bottles and making glowy yellow plasma in your kitchen. [MetaCafe via BoingBoing]
RC Cooler Robot Brings You Beers When No One Else Will
The Skinny: No more yelling across the room, ordering the kids to bring you that brewski when you have an RC Cooler from Inter Active Toy. The Catch: It runs on eight C batteries, but they are said to last for six hours of continuous use. We just wish it were rechargeable, with its own little charging garage.

comment of the day
Comment Of The Day
Since yesterday's comment of the day was so popular, we struggled to find one today that would be just as compelling... At first it seemed that a comment in the Apple Year-End Report Card was going to take it, but then about 40 other commenters said the same thing, by also calling the Giz "fanboys"; so that quickly became unoriginal. Then the comment of the day was found, and we know at least one commenter will agree, EMOSHUNZ that means you. OMG!!! PONIES!!! 's comment on Bill Gates' recent Mexican investment, is a well thought-out joke that we couldn't help but award with the comment of the day. And to all those fanboy callin', Apple haters, you'll probably like this one too...
