Gizmodo IMterview: Jonathon Keats

Artist Jonathon Keats is taking one long photo. His project, a pinhole camera that is taking one continuous picture of a room in the Hotel des Arts in San Francisco, is a mixture of uber-low-tech and ultra-high concept geekiness. As a potential tourist to San Francisco who might want to stay in this room, I…

Asteroids Watch – But I Want to Play!

Fossil is coming out with a line of watches with arcade game themes. This one, inspired by the ultimate in vector graphics, Asteroids, features the hero—a triangle—fighting off the villain and his minions—the squarish blocky things. Remember Asteroids? I think it came out in 1979 and there was a mod you could download via punchcard,…

The Goldfish Hearing Aid

I was in a hallway with two young ladies once. We smiled and chatted and stuff as we walked. In front of their apartment, one of them asked me something that I didn’t understand. It sounded like “Wannakwam mwin”. I said “Sorry?” “Mwahnnakwam mwin?” Not wanting to look like a tard, I just smiled and…

F.A. Porsche Humidor

You know, for something like this, I don’t even really have to try and make it sound exciting or whatever. It’s a three-cigar pocket humidor from Porsche called “Robusto”. That one line right there should do the trick for most people. If you’re one of those finicky types who cares about details, then you should…

Go Get An Ashhole

Nothing goes better with salty kettle cooked chips than a good swig of ice cold ash beer. You know, the kind of beer that comes from a bottle that’s been used by wasted, ignorant and inconsiderate party people as a designated ashtray. You know, the very bottle you were drinking before you had to leave…

I.C. Can Self-Chilling Container

The entire concept of self-chilling and heating beverage containers seems cool at first, but by no means is this a fad that will revolutionize the drinking world. Prices will be high and there is something about having an 8th grade science chemical reaction going on underneath the beverage that will be consumed. Regardless I.C. Can…

Do You Really Need that Catheter?

I just couldn’t resist. This is really just a story about how nurses need to remember where they put their trouser snakes, but it’s such a fascinating topic and is kind of gadgety if you consider rubber tubing a gadget. See, a lot of infections occur when patients sit around too long with a mainline…

Furgles CD Holder

When life gets me down, I always like snuggle my Furgle CD holder. I give it a big hug, pull my DVD of Pocahontas from deep within its warm guts, and have a nice night… just the two of us. By no means is the Furgle supposed to replace that emptiness in your life, but…

The Sammy, A Titanium Wallet

Holy Cats!… a Titanium wallet! You know what they say about luxury items: “Never mind needing… what about wanting?” Of course, by “they”, I mean me, and by “say”, I mean make up… What I’m trying to convolutedly get at, is that I can’t figure, for the life of me, why anyone would need a…

The CradleVue, A Cheap Car Entertainment System

Let me tell you something. Kids were created by the big man upstairs as research tools to test our level of tolerance to auditory torture. Most of us don’t fare very well, and will go to great lengths to keep baby’s wails at a minimum, especially when driving long distances. One solution consists in spending…

WD-40 Straw Holder

Before you start thinking of me as the dude that only writes about things that are pretty, and only marginally useful (like chairs and juicers), I want you to consider this fugly little thing. See now, function sometimes counts for something in my world, even if in the end, form suffers a little. The “Hold-It”…

Panasonic Oxyride Batteries Last Twice as Long, But Do We Care?

Panasonic is now offering Oxyride batteries in the US. Ok. Fine. Oxyride is an update on the standard Alkaline batteries that we in New York buy for a dollar on the train and which end up strewn on the tracks like so many CD player turds. If Oxyride really does last longer, I suppose that…

Lucite Nintendo History Keychains

I liked the Famicom as much as the next guy, but would I make a mini model of every single old-timey Nintendo console and embed them in lucite? Sure! Each one of these stylish keychains contains a console like the Super Famicom and even a mini controller. These keychains are not playable, but they show…

Deuce-USA Bicycle Spinners

The unfortunate and somewhat comical side effect of having fully inserted a purple wax crayon up my nose (for kicks) as a child, my brain is incapable of learning certain things. Specifically, things having to do with bicycle modding trends. I know that people do it. I’ve seen’em around. I… just don’t know anything about…

Wireless Jammer

For a small fee of $445, you too can annoy thousands of people on a daily basis. This little device has the potential to jam wifi and Bluetooth signals. I predict those Amish are behind this, trying to put a halt to the Google takeover of the world. Unfortunately this gadget will start popping up…

eBay Deal of the Day: Dalek Voice Modulator

I don’t quite get what’s going on here, but this appears to be some sort of early Vocoder that creates Dr. Who Dalek voices—or any other crazy noises—using old skool components. There are two inputs, one from a mic and one from an instrument, and one output. I suspect someone out there has some sort…

eBay Deal of the Day: Boeing B-52 Bomb and Rocket Control Panel

The “gadget-girls” over at eBay have managed to get their hands on a nice piece of vintage memorabilia for all of those interested in death and destruction. This is the bomb and rocket control panel that was once in a B-52. Surprisingly this control panel is in excellent condition. All knobs and switches are in…

Samsung Launches SCH-B200/SPH-B2000 DMB Phone

Could this be the decade that the U.S. will get satellite media broadcasts to our phones? DMB, which is a method to send audio and video through satellites straight into small devices like phones and PMPs, may be touching us sooner than we think and Samsung is ready. The SCH-B200/SPH-B2000 is a swivel screen phone…

The Cable ID Cord Management System

Come on man, admit it: your work area is nothing but a spaghetti and meatballs of cables and plugs and such. It’s okay, some of us (me) call that neo-cybereclectic… which is a (made up) euphemism for “I’m too lazy to tidy things up, so I’ll pretend I like it the way it is by…

The Orbit Watch

This looks to be a conceptual/functional (pardon the paradox) implementation of a modern day sundial watch. The brainchild of Designer Gina Reimann, The Orbit allows you to tell the time the way the ancient Greeks did… well, sort of. An integrated compass tells you which way to face, and the sun then casts a shadow,…
