doctor who tardis zipperrobe takes your clothes to another dimension

doctor who tardis ziperrobe

I’ve yet to see an episode of the classic British TV show, so forgive me if my understanding of his powers is wrong. The point is that this is one of the geekiest containers for your clothes. Store your wardrobe from the nineties – or 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s – in here, and you…

glow in the dark toilet paper: for bathroom raves

glow in the dark toilet paper

Use it to make a mean and green mummy! TP your parent’s room with it! Hell, TP your own room! Make glow in the dark origami! Do anything, except for actually using it in the bathroom. I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to sit in the dark while I’m in the…

bebionic hands make me want to cut mine off

BeBionic-hand

Actually no, I love my sweaty hands and my knobby fingers. But UK-based BeBionic’s fully articulated myo-electric hands look menacing, making the simple act of gripping an apple or playing Jenga seem like part of a diabolical scheme.

The term myo-electric means that the hand is operated using electric signals from the human brain,…

Twitter lets people share even the littlest, most unremarkable things in their lives. This winter Vicon will release the Vicon Revue, a camera that promises to make “lifelogging” – making a photographic archive of your day – popular. Oh crap.

The Vicon Revue was originally called SenseCam. Some of you may have heard of…

bloodbot blood sampling robot: the name isn’t exactly endearing is it

bloodbot

Remember how in Wall-E how the humans got so lazy that they left everything in the hands of robots? Seems some people need to watch – or re-watch – that awesome movie, because it seems that we’re just looking for excuses to build a robot. Case in point: the Bloodbot, a horribly misnamed medical…

dsi-xploder-cheats

I love playing video games because they give me quantifiable proof of my progress, unlike in real life where sometimes (cue violins) you just don’t know where you are, what you’re supposed to do and where you’re going (stop music). Tactical RPGs are my favorite because in my opinion they’re the ones that provide…

We’ve already featured a talking translator before, but it looked intimidating and/or boring. Not the Trinvo. It’s a hip and handy talking translator equipped with the very original “navigational wheel.” Wherever you go, people will surely want to talk to you if only to ask what that gadget is that you’re holding. That’s “iPod

As in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flying Car, except that it uses a nylon “Paramenia Reflex” wing to control its flight. The car is able to fly thanks to its gigantic…
