LED Knitting Supplies

Everything else in the world has LEDs in it, why not knitting needles and crochet hooks? MAKE mag is highlighting some LED illuminated knitting supplies.

Professor Invents Fruit Ripeness Sticker

As a guy who can’t hear the difference between knocking on a ripe melon, knocking on an under-ripe melon and knocking on my own ass, a “ripeness” indicator sticker on fruit would be awesome. This sticker, invented by a University of Arizona professor, can display to shoppers whether a fruit or vegetable is ripe, under-ripe…

BBQ Spatula with Built-In Meat Thermometer

Some of us are not exactly talented in the kitchen or around the grill, and sometimes it’s a little difficult to tell when something is done just by “feel.” That’s where this $20 BBQ Spatula with a cooking thermometer attached can be a lifesaver, telling you if all those creepy crawlies are cooked out of…

Intempo Buddy Pink GPS

I still don’t understand the whole “pink gadgets for ladies” fad that seems to be lingering around. Ladies, are pink gadgets really that more appealing than the traditional black/gray gadgets? Intempo has released the Buddy. It is a pink GPS unit that includes flower and butterfly designs. It is a really basic GPS: 3.5-inch touch…

DIY Pong Clock, Good Idea, Poor Execution

We’ve been hyping the Pong Clock since last year, when we first heard word of it. Nine months later they finally shipped and we will have to admit that is pretty disappointing. The manufactured Pong Clock is tiny, and costs nearly $300. Somebody else out there shared our same feelings and created a little DIY…

Motorola H601 and H800 Bluetooth Headsets

In all the hubbub over the new Motorola handsets, these poor Bluetooth headsets have been pushed to the sidelines.
