There are plenty of time that I'm watching TV, and I feel like taking a nap. I've got a a remote for the TV, so I can just turn it off, no big deal. It's the lights that always cause the problem. If I'm going to have to get up to turn them off, I might as well just go lie down in my bed. Read The Full Story

Well, for those of you that regard it as high-class, here's a way to make your boxed wine seem high-class. Read The Full Story

The pizza vending machine may be the greatest thing ever

, Mar 1st 2007 Discuss [0]

Yes, the day I have been dreaming of is finally here. I can actually walk up to a vending machine and order a pizza. Even better, it'll spit it out in under two minutes. Wonderpizza is making a pizza vending machine. It houses up to 102 pizzas in it's freezer chamber, and cooks them in a separate oven chamber (they're not microwaved) in just under two minutes. You can select from 3 different flavors, and even select how crispy you want your crust to be. Read The Full Story

Electrolux gives up their dishwashing secrets

, Feb 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

After decades of doubt and confusion, I think we've finally laid the old "does the light in the fridge really go out?" dilemma to rest.  Now, weary multitudes turn their paranoid eyes to the next piece of kitchen machinery: the humble dishwasher.  "Just what goes on in there?" a man stopped me in the street and asked, yesterday.  "Can we be sure it's not Communism?" a veteran pondered out loud while in the queue for a warm, soy milk-based beverage.   Read The Full Story

Is that a Mountain Dew, or is your PC just happy to see me?

, Feb 7th 2007 Discuss [0]

Around here Mountain Dew is our lifeblood. (Do you think if I say that enough Pepsi will send me some free drinks?) Now you might have also guessed that I'm a computer geek, which means that I have at any time about five computers and a minifridge that are all just a quick roll of the chair away. So naturally when I stumbled upon this cool case mod, I knew I'd have to share it with everyone. Read The Full Story

, Feb 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

April Fools Day is just around the corner, so it's time to start thinking about how you're going to fool your friends. The Backwards Clock is the perfect way to trick all of your buddies at work. At first glance it looks like any ordinary clock you'd see in schools or waiting rooms.

Heart Shaped Torture

, Feb 5th 2007 Discuss [0]

Want a loving way to tell someone to get off their lazy bum and get out of bed? Create a horrifyingly loud alarm clock, but make it so its heart shaped. I’m sure that will make it all better. I know this alarm clock looks cute, but it is in fact evil. They don’t call it the Sonic Boom Love Clock for nothing. It has an adjustable volume alarm that goes up to 113 decibels; a jackhammer is only 100 decibels. Now let’s just pretend that you can somehow sleep through that, it also has a bed shaker to slip in between the mattresses. Read The Full Story
