I’m a firm believer of organization through the use of chaos. For some reason my parents never really bought into that (and neither does my wife).

What’s this, two crazy Brando products in one day? Sorry, this one was just too good to pass up.

The only problem is [...]

Ceramic is a great material for sound amplification. Does it follow that if you wrap your earbuds in ceramic that you’ll have instant loudspeakers? Maybe.

Ross McBride came up with the idea of creating PC cases that would have a facial expression. This case looks like a blue version of one of the statues at Rapa Nui National Park (Easter Island) and I think that it might look better with a different color. I don’t think that it would sell, [...]

At least these stones are real, and not just [...]

The Roly-Poly Pot tips over when the plant needs water. The agua inside is off center and balances a counterweight in the base. The design, by Samgmin Bae, is meant to indicate when the plant is thirsty, but with the automatic movement, it shouldn’t be too hard to rig up a self watering version.
The best [...]

Leave it to the creative and ingenious to find ways to take boring everyday gadgets and turn them into something fancy and spectacular. Take the ho-hum plastic optical mouse; give it to a clever case modder, who is willing to put in the time and energy, results in the stainless steel mouse.

This is what we need less of: electronics that look like animals. Why? Because they’re cute and non-threatening until suddenly, they attack. This massage mouse (which is, in fact, a USB optical computer mouse) uses two conductive pads placed on your skin to transmit electrical current through your body, causing your muscles to (for lack [...]

We’ve heard plenty of these initiatives before, but with the likes of Microsoft pushing the tech, it might not be too long before we’re all pushing a super-connected shopping cart down the aisle. Microsoft’s aQuantive acquisition last year has the company looking to new ad venues, and apparently shopping carts are one of those. Microsoft [...]

The Evolve speaker [...]
