Bombastic Candles - Kaboom!

Bombastic Candles - Kaboom!
Kaboom Candles add an explosive touch to any party (without the explosion part). These clever candles were designed to resemble cartoon and video game bombs and have a sparkling wick that adds even more authenticity.

The Cupmen

The Cupmen
Rest the Cupmen on your Cup Noodles and it will start losing its color. When the Cupmen turns white your dinner is served. At least that's what I can gather from the very inaccurate Google translation.

Caskets on a Budget

Caskets on a Budget
There comes a time in ones life when we need to make hard decision like which casket to choose for a loved one. Walmart, and Costco are just a few of the big time resellers that have entered the game. They are offering quality products at reduced prices.

If you have recently had a loved one passed you may still have sticker shock on how overpriced all the services are. We are here to help you save a little money. If you are a Costco club member make sure to take a look at the selection they have. Otherwise you have Walmart.

The one thing we don't like much about this is that you must wait for them to deliver the casket. . The only way to purchase them is online. From what we have investigated it looks like they can be delivered within 24 hrs. None of the stores carry these items so you wont be able to see them

Pictured above is a Walmart Dad Remembered casket for $895.00

Honda Unveils the U3-x Personal Mobility Device

Honda Unveils the U3-x Personal Mobility Device
Well watch out Segway! Honda unveiled their new people mover which they deemed a personal mobility device. This little thing has no steering wheel. It has an electric motor, and a couple of little wheels in series that allow one to move in any which direction you want it to. The U3-x moves based on the movement of your body. Lean to the left and it will move to the left. Lean to the right and you guessed it, it will move to the right.

The U3-x weighs about 22 pounds, its seat and foot rests fold into the device and has a nifty handle that will allow you to carry it from place to place. Honda has not said when it will be available, as it is just experimental at this point, but they are going to showcase it next month in the Tokyo Auto show.

Here is a video of this little sucker in action on You Tube.


Infectious Laptop Skins

Infectious Laptop Skins
Laptop skin web sites are a dime a dozen. Infectious is different because, as far as we can tell, their laptop skin illustrations are voted on by a community of talented illustrators. You won't get lame stockphotography-for-skins here. Some of our favorites from the bunch include:

A very long journey by zutto (pictured above)
Mysterious Forest by Simon Kim
The High Seas by James Hancock
Speakercloud by Zeptonn

I should probably also mention that Infectious also has car decals, iPod/iPhone skins, and vinyl wall art as well.

Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator

Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator
I guess sci-fi technology is already here. The pneumatic vacuum residential elevator moves passengers by means of pressurization up to four floors. The benefits of a pneumatic vacuum elevator over a traditional elevator include fast installation, no lubrication, and no need for an engine room in some subterranean level in your house. The main concern we have is the lack of space. From the videos we saw on the company's web site, a typical male will fit in pretty tight.

We hope the technology advances quickly with this one. With homes getting smaller and smaller and multi-level homes being the solution residential elevators will become more of the norm. That or humanoids.
