Star Wars Chop Sabers

Ya know, if I didn't have so much crap in the house already these would be so cool.... lol.

I'm such a geek.

Star Wars Chop Sabers: "

Forget about the power of the fork, you have the Force to help you pick up those slippery noodles from a bowl and shove them into your mouth – strand by strand, thanks to the Star Wars Chop Sabers. Of course, you can always choose to align yourself to the Light Side or the Dark Side, it doesn’t matter – after all, money is neutral, and as long as you decide to part with £9.99, Firebox is willing to let you have your pair of saber chopsticks of your choice.

You can choose from Darth Maul, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker models, where they can be pre-ordered for a May 9th release. Perfect for holding that geek party while ordering Chinese food from a nearby takeaway. Bear in mind that these are officially licensed products from Lucasfilm and hail from Japan, so you might even want to bring these over to your favorite Japanese restaurant the next time you head out to eat.

The Vibrating Sauna Pants

I think I'm going to need a cigarette after this one....

The Vibrating Sauna Pants: "

We’ve seen some pretty wacky gadgets in the past but this must be right up there with the craziest, vibrating sauna pants.

The sauna pants are said to aid in the loss of excess water in the abdominal areas, or if having a hot sweaty crotch floats your boat these could be the pants for you.

You can (actually) buy the sauna pants from Taylor Gifts or Amazon. We need to thank RGS and Unique Daily for sharing this crazy stuff with us.

I must get one of these so I can shoot my coworkers when they annoy me. Hehehe.

Disambigua rotating bath

So cool! But what if I want to take a shower?

Disambigua rotating bath: "

This new concept design from DiciannoveDieclDesign is not only a great idea for tight spaces, but looks very sleek and futuristic. It may appear to be a regular bath tub, but then turn it over and it's a normal wash basin underneath.

LEGO Boombox – no blocked up sound from this!

Yay LEGO! I love the kitsch-iness of it!

LEGO Boombox – no blocked up sound from this!: "

Everyone would surely have come across the perfectly shaped Danish bricks known as LEGO in their lifetime, with most of the involvement coming in when they’re a kid and with their kids many years down the road. Well, it seems that the brand isn’t going to die out anytime soon (far from it, since it is a toy that is limited by your imagination), as there is a new LEGO Boombox released to provide aural entertainment in a cubed form factor.

Retailing for £49.99, the LEGO Boombox is ten times the size of a standard eight stud LEGO brick, and it makes for the perfect living room ornament to boot. Apart from being aesthetically unique, the LEGO Boombox will also be able to handle DVDs, while the integrated AM/FM radio keeps you entertained after you’ve run out of CDs to listen to, as well as the ability to hook up to compatible MP3 players.

Interestingly enough, this device can also stack up with the LEGO Alarm Clock (yet another scaled-up LEGO device). The studs on top of the LEGO Boombox isn’t there for show only, since they can be manipulated to control the volume while tuning in to the AM/FM radio of your choice.

Digital Film analog-styled camera

Hmm, I agree... I don't know how well this would take off but it's definitely an interesting concept.

Digital Film analog-styled camera: "

Digital cameras have given photographers, amateurs and everyday people alike so much more choice and freedom when it comes to the convenient editing, printing and sharing of their photos.

However, I'm sure there are plenty out there who miss the process of adding new rolls of film and waiting for them to develop, so deliberately chose older analog models for that exact reason. Well, The Digital Film camera concept from designer Park Hyun Jin attempts to re-ignite some of that old magic!

According to Park Hyun Jin's website, Digital Film can be added to this specially designed camera and then after pressing the shutter like usual, the light makes an image shown on CCD. When the film winding lever is then pressed the image will be saved. Then the camera can become ready for the next picture.

This is a really innovative idea and I'm sure many people wouldn't want to give up their digital cameras but are looking for a way to recreate the same quality and experience from using an analog film cameras.

Does this remind you of a movie???

It's a sweet commercial.  I do have to admit it was moving, but somehow I recall a movie being made that this reminds me of.....

iPhone Photo Printer

For those of you who have iPhones.... neat thing to have since the iPhone takes such great photos....

iPhone Photo Printer: "

So you use your iPhone’s camera a whole lot – what are you going to do with the digital library of images that you have amassed over time? Surely you aren’t going to just let it be stashed away in some hard drive somewhere, do you? How about printing those photos out for physical reminder of those memories? Instead of going through the tried-and-tested method of transferring photos to a computer and using a printer to churn out some copies, here is the self-explanatory iPhone Photo Printer.

This $159.95 purchase is the first of its kind that delivers photo quality pictures straight from a docked iPhone or iPod touch, without the need for special software or computer. Of course, the downside is you can’t edit those photos, but then again the iPhone takes pretty decent images in the first place. Heck, there aren’t even ink cartridges to worry about, since it prints crystal-clear 300 dpi resolution pictures with vibrant colors thanks to a patented paper that has been embedded with yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals.

These photos printed out are smudge- and tear-proof, fade- and water-resistant, so that ought to deliver some peace of mind to you. It will also play nice with Android phones (now isn’t that surprising?), the iPad and its successor. Each purchase is accompanied by one paper pack that delivers up to a dozen prints.

"Avoir Eiffel Tower, avoir"

PY in Paris

Is that the Eiffel Tower lurking behind?

It is the Eiffel Tower!

To Kindle or to Nook

You know I never thought I was an eBook kind of gal.  There was always something about turning the pages of a book and the smell of printed paper.  One of my favorite sagas is coming out on HBO as a new epic miniseries by author George R.R. Martin.  I just love these books, so much so that I've read the first 4 books twice.  I am anxiously awaiting the new release in July (A Dance With Dragons).

So back to my original thought, I have thought about purchasing the new book when it finally comes out in paperback, because lugging around a 1200 page book is just hell on one's shoulder.  Until my friend let me fiddle around with his Kindle.  Of course the geek in me now wants one.  It's seems so practical and my whole library is in this little device.  So naturally I looked on both the Amazon website and the Barnes and Noble website to compare.... crap.  SO hard to decide.  Color is quite an attractive feature but they're pretty much comparable in all other features.  And you know I would never have even thought about it if the dang books were on average 900 to 1200 pages long....

What to do???

PY saw this in the bookstore at the SFO airport. Too funny! I'm going to look on Amazon so I can see the illustrations inside the book.
