Well, I say it has to do with patience. And with intention.

All this talk about drawers isn’t about underwear, but about desk drawers. You know, the ones you slide out and push back in after you put some stuff into them. And not just any desk drawer, but just the drawers on Sanghyeok Lee’s unusual Listen to your hands table.

You see, when you push one drawer shut too fast, another one on the other end will open. Open one too carelessly, and another one somewhere will slam shut. This is because the drawers in Lee’s table are connected on the inside by a single, empty space. So if you push or pull too quickly, this pocket of air forces another one to open or close accordingly as well.

The lesson behind this interactive table is to “act with intention.” The only time when you can simply just open or close a drawer without causing one on the other end to close or open respectively is if you do it gently – with intention.

But when your time comes, would you want to leave a last word of some sort?

Sometimes, circumstances make it impossible for you to leave your last word, like if you’ve got some illness where you’ll be too weak to speak or if you go by way of an accident. It would’ve been too late – if you didn’t have the “If I Die” app, that is.

It’s an app for Facebook that will make sure you’ll be able to have your last word.

Just activate the “If I Die” app, prepare a video or text message, and you’re all set. When you die, three trustees who you’ve appointed when you set the app up will confirm if you have indeed passed. Your message will then be automatically posted to your wall from beyond the grave.

The iMM737 WorkStation and the iMM517 WorkStation Pro take your iPad to the next level providing an adjustable desktop docking station for your tablet. The 737 includes a wired keyboard, while the 517 Pro has a Bluetooth keyboard. Both also double as high-quality speaker docks, and will work with the iPad, iPhone and other devices with a 30-pin dock connector.

You can get the iMM 517 from iLuv any day now, and the iMM737 will be released in November. For now, you could always buy the nearly identical iMM727 or iMM 514 speaker docks, and just add your own Bluetooth keyboard.

If you do a lot of work on your tablet, you might want something like this. Or you might just want to buy yourself a proper desktop PC or laptop.

Designed by Keita Watanabe, the AirSketcher (JP) looks just like any other fan, except it’s got a camera in the middle that sweeps over the room it’s in and check where it should face or orient itself. If you want the fan to just focus on one area, then just hold the special flag targets prominently and wait for the fan to sweep around and find it.

Aside from where it should face, the flag targets also contain another symbol on the back that can turn the fan on or off. There’s no need for any remote controls with this fan, which guarantees completely hands-free operation. But this does seem like going through a whole lot of trouble just to come up with a next-generation fan.

So what do you get when you cross up-and-coming designer Lana Bălana (link slightly NSFW) and Facebook? The Facebook dress, obviously. The detail or fit isn’t something to be impressed with, but it’s the whole idea that gets to me. We’ve all heard about girls who wear their hearts on their sleeve, so now it’s time for you to meet the girl with her Facebook profile on her, well, body.

This isn’t available for sale, as it was one of the pieces in Lana’s graduation collection. She relates the dress to the evolution of women, “from the initial stage of nudity up to her upgraded virtual level of being.”

Looks to me like women’s evolution has now come to the point of dresses made from cut-up tarpaulin sewn together with some plastic material to put it all together. But hey, that’s just me.

That said, you might think this USB mouse is just like any other mouse, except that it’s not. Once you lift the cover off this thing, then you’ll find a teeny tiny little surprise in the form of a miniature digital scale.

I normally love things that are multi-purpose, but I’m not really sure what to make of the mouse you see here. It’s totally something that I have never chanced upon before today, which makes it sort of strange yet cool at the same time. At least for me, anyways.

But if, for some reason, you’re involved in some line of work where you’ll randomly need to weigh things that are less than 500 grams, then this is one quirky mouse you might want to check out. The mouse is available online for $22(USD) over at Brando.

The guy says that rather than going to his buddies house he opted to climb into the drain to retrieve his phone and call for help. If you are feeling like this is hardly the real story, you aren’t alone. The hilarious epic fail of all this is that the dude went WAY into the storm drain looking for his phone and got stuck.

Only his legs were sticking out. The guy then went on the local news, claimed to not remember any of being stuck and talking to the police, and blamed all the scratches and scrapes on the beating laid down by gang members. All of the scratches look like damage from wedging yourself into a manhole to me. What do you think?

Now we bring you more hair-raising works of art made with human hair, and this time, you’re supposed to wear these on your neck. No resin holding these together this time, though.

I don’t what to say about these necklaces except that they’re attractive yet bring up some sense of aversion at the same time. This is exactly Kerry Howley’s line of thinking when she came up with these hair necklaces as part of her Attraction/Aversion collection for her award-winning 2011 graduate collection.

She explains it like so: When your hair is still on your head, it’s something that a lot of people, most especially women, take pride in. They go to great lengths and measures to maintain their tresses and make their mane of hair look good and groomed. But once the hair leaves the roots, it’s something that, well, might cause a sense of aversion in some people.

Through her collection, Kerry made an attempt to make this unrooted hair attractive again. So what do you think? Was she successful in doing so with her hair necklaces?

The document was written by FBI investigator Guy Hottel, and recounts his talk with what the letter calls an “investigator for the Air Forces.” The name of the investigator has been redacted. The memo goes on to claim that the Air Force found a crashed UFO of a saucer shape that was 50-feet in diameter.

The memo goes on to say that the Air Force believed that the powerful radar it was operating in the area was the cause of the crash. Also noted was the collection of three humanoid bodies that were about three feet tall. Hoax or not, this is a very strange memo to turn up on a government website.

The gadget is actually a special bendy sticker that adheres to the back of a bill of your choice. Once folded shut, it holds all your other bills in place. Use a $100 bill if you want people to think you’re a big spender – you can just fill in the middle with ones. Of course, whatever bill you use as the wrapper for your wad of cash will probably become irretrievable, so you might want to stick with a single for now. In case you don’t get the concept, here’s a silly video of a girl with a Snidely Whiplash mustache dancing to Franz Ferdinand that should set you straight:

See? Makes perfect sense now, right? The Invisible Money Clip is available from ALL CA$H Money Clips for $9.95 (USD) each, or get a pair for $14.95 in case you want to carry more than one stack of cash. ALL CA$H is careful to point out that price doesn’t include a dollar bill.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 6 years, you have probably seen all the videos of people shooting fountains of soda powered by Mentos mints. Now you can get your own kit to make your own spectacular messes called the EepyBird Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Geyser Kit. The kit gives you all you need but the soft drink to get your mess on.

The kit will cost you about $25 and comes with PVC nozzles, goggles, and even a package of Mentos. All you supply is the 2-liter drink and someone willing to look the other way as you make messes outside. The nozzles include an “X”, fan, and a couple small power nozzles. Of course, you could make all of this stuff yourself for a lot less money if you are so inclined.

It’s simply listed as follows: “THIS IS A NICE DEPCO VIRTUAL REALITY VFX 3D INTERACTIVE IMAGING LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE.” Actually guys, what you’ve got here is a rare VFX3D virtual reality headset from way back in the dark ages of 2000. This helmet straps onto your head and covers your eyeballs with dual-stereoscopic 3D images. It also featured early head-tracking tech that worked with a handful of 3D PC games like Descent 3 and Unreal Tournament. But before you get too excited about this thing, the tiny LCD displays only had a paltry resolution of 263×480, only 263×240 in 3D mode. It also only worked with old versions of DirectX (version 7 to be exact).

I actually think the guys selling this thing don’t realize that the cable box underneath it has nothing to do with this thing. The system originally sold for $1800, but if you’re willing to take a gamble with $750 (USD) of your hard-earned money, you can grab this rarity over on eBay now, and you can find the drivers and SDK here.

Though this doesn’t seem to be like a particularly bad idea, it does seem silly to put zoom on something that is meant for magnifying. Though I must say, there is no part of me that would object if one of these showed up on my doorstep.

Menas Zoom is capable of magnifying from 2.2 to 3.4x without distortion.  This in itself is pretty appealing, as most magnifying glasses can give you a headache from how distorted whatever you’re looking at usually is. They’ve really done well in combining a handheld magnifying glass and a light accumulating reading stone to make a well thought out and unique way to zoom in on something that is tiny. Unfortunately, the lens system they use that makes this product so awesome also makes it expensive, meaning that they can put about a $135 (USD) price tag on it.

Nosedial is a $.99 app for your iPhone that makes your phone nose-friendly. Basically what it does is gives you very large icons for each of your contacts. You can scroll, and tap them with your nose. The unfortunate thing is that you’ll not only have to figure a way to unlock the phone, but also tap on the icon for this app. While interesting in theory, I don’t think it would be terribly practical.

A professor of photography at New York University had a camera installed on the back of his head at a piecing shop. The camera will take a photo every minute and then send those photos to an exhibit at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art. The photos are for an exhibit the professor called “The 3rd I.”

The guy is an active teacher and according to report, he has to cap the camera when on school grounds to protect the privacy of students. I guess the privacy of all the other folks that will end up pictured in his exhibit doesn’t matter. I’m betting he caps the camera when he drops a deuce too; no one wants to see that.

There’s a good chance that the other person would be just as annoyed if it were your phone going off. Naturally, if you find the other person’s company important enough, you’ll actually turn your phone off, or at least put it on silent. Want to make sure that they know the lengths you’ve gone to ensure that you don’t interrupt the conversation with a noisy phone? Get a Phonekerchief.

What exactly is a Phonekerchief you ask? It’s a handkerchief that blocks cell phone signals. You just wrap your phone in one, and the signal is blocked. The best part? It’s embroidered to say “My phone is off for you.” Honestly, if I saw someone wearing one of these, I’d probably steer clear of them. Why? Because there’s just something about a person who feels the need to wear a sign that essentially says “I’m being polite,” instead of just turning their phone off, that bothers me. If you simply must have it, then be prepared to part with $15 for one when they go on sale November 25.

Eating chips while gaming means wiping off my chip-eating hand after every bite or risking the consequences of having a greasy mouse/controller. I may be a geek, but I’m not a slob. Which is why I usually just go for pretzels.

If you insist on eating greasy snacks like chips (Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going on some health-nut kick here. I loves me some greasy food.), then you might take a look at this wacky £4.99 (appx. $8 USD) Potato Crisp Hand. It has a hand with two fingers that pinch together to pick up snacks.

Just stick it in the bag, press down on the button, and you’ve got yourself a yummy greasy snack without the mess on your hand. Sure, there’s still going to be one on the front of your shirt from the crumbs, but you’ll have to deal with that problem yourself.

The robotic hand features movable polycarbonate “bones,” covered with a too-real skin of fleshtone silicon rubber. Underneath its fleshy exterior each hand is powered by 22 actuators with 16 joints. Here’s a video clip showing off the H-Type hand in all its gripping glory:

Creepy, no? All I can think of is Thing from The Addams Family now – if Thing worked at a sushi bar, that is.

The Chicken Burger USB Hub definitely wins the prize for the best and most descriptive product name of the week. Yep, it looks like a chicken sandwich, but don’t try and take a bite out of it, or you’ll be in for a rude awakening. Your teeth and stomach will not be happy when you chomp down on a bunch of USB connectors and memory sticks.

Want one of these awesomely weird things? Head on over to our friends at Brando, where you can have one for the low, low price of $19 (USD). Me, I’m headed to KFC for a Double Down instead.

Created by Alex Abreu & Ithai Benjamin, the Synthinetic is simply described as “The little kinetic noisy synthesizer of your dreams.” Assuming your dreams include strange squeaky, bleepy noises, I suppose.

Sit back, turn up (or down) the volume and enjoy (or not)…

The Synthinetic was designed to operate solely on the energy generated by the user and the environment around them. Turning the knobs on the sides of the box stores up energy in a capacitor, which then powers the analog audio circuits. And sticking your finger in that furry hole at the top drains the synth of its energy. I think I’ll stick with my Casio.
