Sick of the stinky cat food smelling up your humble abode? Well, you shouldn’t have gotten a cat in the first place, dummy, but there are ways to get rid of the smell, and the Pedal Bowl is it. This food dish reminds me a lot of a toilet. There is a pedal that can…

Chrono Shredder Shreds Away the Days

This project is the latest of designer Susanna Hertrich. It is a traditional 365 day calendar but it will shred the day.

I guess designer portable, tabletop vacuums are an area yet to be tapped, until now. This is a miniature vacuum (think Dustbuster), but it is shaped like a cheeseburger. If you didn’t feel like enough of a pig before, try cleaning all of those crumbs off your gut with an actual cheeseburger. $20. Product Page…

Rumor Smash: No PS3 Price Cut in Sight
