The hangman table lamp

By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Apr 8th 2008 No Comments

hangman table lamp I have over time gotten a bit bored of my bedside lamp. Yes, it shines on my nightly read, but it’s just so normal. It doesn’t move, do tricks or even have a geeky flare. However, I think my search is over, this hang man is perfect for my bedroom.

Yes, it might creep out anyone who spots it, especially in the bedroom, but it’s just too morbidly fascinating to pass up. The table lamp called Colgao was handmade by en Pieza! studio.

The materials used were electric wire and iron which was treated to prevent corrosion. It was created sometime in 2007 but the site does not state how to get a hold of the product or when it might be released.

By James Allan Brady on Monday, Mar 10th 2008 No Comments

Using a Lithium-ion battery, some CO2 scrubbers and oxygen cells they are able to extend the amount of time you are able to spend under the water. No word on how long you can stay underwater as that’s got to be at least partly depending on the size of battery and size of your air tanks and how you breathe, but sometimes even just a half hour is enough to see the fish you went down looking for in the first place.

Chinese Voice Changing Telephone

I guess that’s the official U.S. product title, anyways, it’s a standard telephone that has voice changing capabilities built right in. There is no need to go buy a separate box to change your voice, and that way it’s harder for the police to figure out what’s going on when they raid your house.

Flying Stick Cam Looks as silly as it sounds

By Christina Crouch on Friday, Jan 25th 2008 No Comments

I’m reminded of a flying fairy doll my little sister had as a child every time I look at the Flying Stick Cam. The idea behind is moderately cool but the design falls completely flat, in my opinion.

EasiShelf gives you a shelf for your charging gadgets

By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Jan 23rd 2008 No Comments

The EasiShelf is a little dorky. I can imagine finding it in the colored plastic bins at a flea market or finding a baggie of them in my grandma’s cabinet. However, it is useful and I would like one.

By Christina Crouch on Monday, Jan 21st 2008 No Comments

If you told me about an item from a store called SuckUK I’d think one of two things: you’re crazy or perverted. If you went on to tell me it was message tape it’d still be a toss up. However, message tape from SuckUK is pretty nifty once you get past all the names.
