Even though the iPad was just announced, there are already plenty of concepts emerging that could take advantage of the device. This one is somewhat interesting, but dubious.

Meninos has released an updated version of the previously featured Photoshop magnets. No new functionality has been added. And there’s still no Windows version.
Get a set of Photoshop CS4 Magnets at Meninos for only $25 (USD). And just like Adobe, you’ll probably have to pay a pretty penny to upgrade when the CS5…

These wall decals let you transform any wall into a larger-than-life…

Now I can barely stomach the idea of ascending one of those rock climbing walls you see at the gym, and now some masochist had to go and invent this.
The ClimbStation combines the concept of a treadmill with rock climbing to create a never-ending wall of pain. The system consists of a moving…

If you look at the outlet strips behind my home theater setup, you’d understand why I think this idea is so cool.
The Outlet Wall is obviously a bit of creative Photoshop work, but I think the concept is fun. Imagine all your walls completely covered with outlets, so you’ll never need to look…

Anyone can play a game of Tetris; the Russian classic is available in dozens of formats, and there are clones and knock-offs aplenty. You can even go the Soylent Green route and make your Tetris out of people if you are so inclined. But why not step head and shoulders above the rest and…

The Fragile Future 2 lighting fixture really lives up to its name. You see, each tiny light source is actually framed by the seed pods of a dandelion. Now why is it called the Fragile Future 2? Presumably, because the Fragile Future 1 was just a little TOO breakable.

Remote controlled race cars are pretty much a dime-a-dozen these days, so I’m always happy to come across one that’s a little left of center.
