Jacob Mathew is a designer with a Vision: to not only fit speakers around/in all parts of your lifestyle, but to utilize these speakers in the art of massage. So he opened Soundsations, a “spa created to provide the music massage experience”. Here is a gallery of his Mathew Audio Collection. I generally prefer my…

Designed for military applications (that vehicle picture above), the Iron Drive is a 1-4GB flash drive that resists Moisture, Vibration, Shock, Caustic Agents, EMI, and Nuclear Effects. (For some reason these threats are capitalized on the site, so we’ll leave them that way.)…

Dealzmodo: $20 Coby DVD-Player

As part of a 2-day sale, CVS has the Coby Ultra Compact DVD Player available for $20—no rebates or shipping required. It’s no frills, and I’m guessing that means no component connection, but if you are looking for a new DVD player for favorite niece to play peanut butter, this Coby is a decent option.…

Bandai Human Player: It’s OK To Play With Yourself

Standing in front of the mirror for hours on end fulfills our daily narcissism quota, but we just never get anything done. That’s why we’re very excited about the Bandai Human Player. It’s like Tamagotchi, but your pet is…you. After responding to fifty personal questions such as “Have you ever killed a man and gotten…

Tesla Anti-Theft Device: Eye of Sauron

Click to viewHow do Tesla coils predate the Ford Model T, but still rock our world? The “Eye of Sauron” is the result of adding a motorized 7-foot aluminum pole to a Tesla coil, mounting the contraption to a car and photographing the experience with long exposures.

Thirteen Computer Keyboards You’ve (Probably) Never Seen

The folks over at Hongkiat.com posted a great roundup of wacky keyboards that you’ve probably never seen. I’ve seen a few of these at my local family-run electronics shack, but there are definitely a couple I’ve never even thought existed—a few of these are straight BONKERS. Up top, we’ve got the Datahand Keyboard, which looks…

Ghost Blaster: 80’s Hardee’s Toy?

I miss 80’s marketing, full of slick continuity editing that can fool the weak/young-minded into believing the Ghost Blaster can actually shoot lasers at ghosts. Because it can’t…right? The Ghost Blaster [neatorama]

Universal B.S. Detector Watch: Full of Crap

The Universal Bullshit Detector Watch does not actually detect falsehoods. We didn’t want to inconvenience the small percentage of readership that sometimes takes these trifles a tad too seriously. As a general rule, any electronic depicting a cow’s arse is not worth one’s emotional investment. But to each his own. The $39.95 Universal Bullshit Detector…

MainNav MW-705: Rugged GPS Watch

The MainNav MW-705 isn’t just an extremely bulky sport watch. It’s an extremely bulky sport watch that features SiRF Star III GPS. So while you will still need to use a Bluetooh connection to a PDAesque device to pull up a map, it’s a better alternative to praying your cellphone has reception. The watch also…

1946 Vespa Clock: Better Than the Scooter?

I realize that to some, Vespas are synonymous with cruising the countryside on a warm afternoon. You sip from a fine vintage while feeding your new fiancee bits of prosciutto—all before you make love under the sunset. But to a lanky…ok, kinda fat…6’1″ American male like myself, Vespas more often equate with looking like a…

X-Paste, For Teeth (Not Penis)

While its name tantalizes the libido with possibilities of a super sex cream/adhesive, the X-Paste is just for teeth (though what you do in the privacy of your bathroom is not for us to judge). Mounting on your wall, the X-Paste is a pump that distributes the “perfect” amount of toothpaste on your brush. We’ve…

SoundDrive: The Talking USB Drive

I have a huge collection of thumb drives from every press event I’ve ever been to, but none of them is as talented as this one. The SoundDrive is the first thumb drive I’ve seen with speakers built into it, so the moment you plug it in, it starts yapping away. I can see this…

Ultimate Robot: Spider Meets Cockroach

Note: you will be killed by the innocent-looking robot pictured above. Using a combination of the stable low profile of a cockroach and the terrain-adapting spine legs of a spider, this SuperCockrochSpiderBot (our name) can somewhat easily walk over wire mesh. Slow motion video taught scientists that spiders were only 22% slower while running over…

O’hEocha Audiophile Speakers: Like Having Martians Sing to You

I’m always game for some exotic-looking speakers, but these might be taking it a bit too far. They have that intimidating “look at me and I’ll shoot you with my laser” kinda look. Regardless, the O’hEocha Audiophile speakers were made by ex-BMW designer, Aonghus O’hEocha. Each satellite has an 11-inch subwoofer and a 1-inch tweeter…
