Making your face presentable for high definition is tough, which is why the makeup brand Cargo is carrying a "blu_ray" brand makeup—trademarked, no less—that's supposed to cover up any Cameron Diaz-level skin problems. It's unlikely that Sony will be pleased that someone's calling dibs on a brand they spent billions on building, but since this is in the makeup space, they might be SOL. We're sure Cargo's glad they don't have to make an "hd_dvd" branded makeup kit. [Sephora via Boing Boing Gadgets]

A genius and Ph.D. of Aerospace Engineering who goes by the name of Hoseong Han has popped in our tips line today with what could be The Best Three Inventions of the Year 2007: the "Waist Computer," which also converts your laptop into a hanging tray for cigarette girls; "Folding cloth," to fool everyone with your fake parachute, then hear them laugh while you put it on under the rain; and our new all-time-favorite "Back of the Hand Phone," which defies any description except that it's perfect as an excuse to perform your best "I'm so le tired" pose while you make a call.

Right now it's a bit hot for one of these, but we salute Lady Linoleum, who made this Darth Vader helmet out of eight Guinness cans and some black wool.

Talking Geek Figurine Talks Geek While you Work
Bang one of these nerdy desk ornaments on the head and it whines "I'm thinking right now." Bang a real geek on the head, though, and he'll probably be able to tell you the pressure per square inch exerted by the palm of your hand. I can't decide which one would give me more fun. [Tokyo Mango]

World's Fastest Toilet is Jet-Propelled, not Powered by Farts
Well, Flame Grill my Whopper and call it Professor Caractacus Potts! Is there nothing sacred any more? Not even those precious moments when a man wants a little peace in the world so that he can go about his daily business without being disturbed? It seems not, but then the British always were a little strange. This is, apparently, the world's fastest toilet. Powered by a Boeing Jet engine, the $10,000 vehicle's top speed is in excess of 70mph, and it farts flames from its tailpipe - rather like, I would imagine, a man forced to eat ten vindaloos one after another.

84" Giga Ball: Will be at Google HQ by the End of the Year
If this is for kids aged 4 and upwards, then I'm a banana with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. This 7-foot version of the Giga Ball is aimed at adults, no shit. I have seen the future and it is ball-shaped. YouTube will be full of mass Giga Ball rallies, people will take to the roads with them (are they car crash-proof? I don't know, but I bet the Jackass boys will be able to tell you that) and there will be Giga Ball races on Campus. It will set you back a shade under $200, but if you are the proud owner (driver?) of one of these, everyone will want to be your friend. More »

USB Heating Gloves
Spring is supposedly here and it's allegedly not so cold during the day that one can go out in a fleece hoodie instead of a winter coat. We wouldn't know from experience, since Gawker Media recently had us fitted with house arrest anklets to keep us home typing up posts for your enjoyment. At any rate, if the weather is still so chilly as to keep you from comfortably typing on your keyboard or playing games, you might want to purchase a pair of USB heating gloves. More »
