Some people like to wear their beliefs on their sleeves. Others just like to wear them. The Day-For-Night dress is made of up to 448 solar cells, enough to charge gadgets despite it being the kind of garment that would get you summarily executed in rural Afghanistan.
Each white circuit board can hold a single [...]

Chopper Inspired Pizza Cutters

I imagine this is what would happen if Orange County Choppers turned their attention towards designing kitchen tools, instead of breaking things and occasionally building motorcycles these days. But this collection of chopper-inspired pizza cutters was actually designed by artist Frankie Flood to show that even the most utilitarian objects can have a strong artistic [...]

LED cell phone doesn’t even have a screen

You know, a cell phone doesn’t need to have a fancy touchscreen or a slide-out QWERTY keyboard to be slick looking. Simple design is oftentimes just as good, if not better, than complicated, flashy design. Just take a look at this LED cell phone, for example. It doesn’t even have a screen, but it outclasses [...]

If you aren’t happy with traditional lamps, what with them being so boring and lacking the sorts of technical doo-daddery that you look for in all of your purchases, you might like this unique Jellephish Lamp.

MP3 Cassette is a blast from the past in the present

If you lived through the 1980s and early 1990s, you probably have a soft spot in your heart for cassette tapes. Sure, just dragging and dropping your favorite songs into a playlist in iTunes is the easiest way to make a mix ever, but it lacks the process and the commitment that making a mix [...]

Security chair sacrifices comfort for cleanliness

Posted by sickofgadgets.com
Filed under interior | No Comments

It would seem that designer Erohina Yulia has a bit of a paranoia problem, as apparent with this chair design. First and foremost, the chair looks like something that inmates wouldn’t even want to sit on. The smooth surface would have you sliding all over the place and it doesn’t look very comfortable, at all. [...]

Eco-cook minimizes dish washing, saves earth

Filed under off topic | No Comments

Sure, the idea for the Eco-cook may be based around energy consumption. By using one pot and convenient dividers, less energy is requires to cook food and less water is needed as well, which in turn saves the earth from annihilation (or so they say). What I like most about the Eco-cook design is saving [...]

Tokyoflash, the company that makes watches so difficult to read that one even confounded a theoretical physicist, introduced a new model today, the Tibida. That means if you’ve already learned how to tell time on an older Tokyoflash model, it’s time start again.

Obligatory Ferrari And Lamborghini Gallery

Filed under off topic | No Comments

When I was younger I thought the Ferrari and Lamborghini represented the ultimate in cars, but these days I’m not quite as infatuated. Now don’t get me wrong, if either one handed me a set of keys and told me to go crazy, I would probably burn through a tank or two of gas. Both [...]

Using light-emitting diodes when you need some extra light is not only good for saving energy, it also saves you the wiring installation time and hassle.

Got that song stuck in your head? You know, the song. Go ahead, hum a few bars, nobody’s going to notice. “This was a triumph…” Bet it’s in there now! Now, while you spend the next 6-8 weeks trying wrench that beautiful melody from you head, you can concentrate on the harm you’ve caused to [...]

Faux Digital Message Tape Looks Interesting, Time Consuming

Posted by sickofgadgets.com
Filed under fashion | No Comments

Normally faux anything rubs me the wrong way but this faux-digital message tape looks very interesting indeed.  You write messages by blacking out white sections on the tape.  It could take a while to put together a message of any length; but it does make a nice alternative to temporary signs.  I don’t think this [...]

Filed under off topic | No Comments

We’ve heard that the “gold standard” pen and paper test seems to work fairly well at detecting the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease, but gurus from Georgia Tech and Emory University have teamed up to develop a much quicker method for accomplishing the same. The ten-minute DETECT test utilizes a head-worn visor with a built-in [...]

Our eyes may still be slightly out of focus from the complete lack of sleep obtained while at CES, but the two Inventec UMPCs purportedly going by 7-A / 5-D sure look a heck of a lot different than the model we peeked in Vegas. As you can glean from the image above, the UMPC [...]
