So, how many geeks does it take to change a light bulb? Just one, using the Ultimate Light Bulb Changer.

The Ultimate Light Bulb Changer ensures an easy and safe way to change light bulbs. It has a telescopic handle which when fully extended measures 7 inches and a suction cup to Read the rest of this entry…

Everybody loves multifunctional gadgets, but some gadget designers might have gone just a little bit too far with multifunctionality.

Just take a look at this pair of sunglasses, and you’ll understand what I’m talking about: comb, paintbrush, knives, corkscrew, scissors, pliers, file, wrench, straw (?) and la piece de resistance – miniature back scratcher! This almost seems like a joke (and I’m not convinced that it isn’t)! How are you supposed Read the rest of this entry…

The manufacturers of Kuchofuku Air Conditioned Bed have come up with yet another weird but useful gadget: the USB Air Conditioned Shirt.

This man’s shirt has a very quiet fan that you plug in a USB port and which inflates the shirt with cool air. Although the constant flowing stream of air through your shirt is definitely an effective way to cool yourself in a scorching day, I cannot imagine Read the rest of this entry…

This Japanese contraption is by far the most bizarre cooler I’ve ever seen: the USB Powered Bottom Cooler.

The Bottom Cooler is actually a seat cushion with a cooler. The cooler directs a jet of air into the cushion, providing (more or less) effective ventilation for your bottom. This device is supposed to make you feel more comfortable at the office, especially if you have a sedentary job and you cannot move around too often. Well, I don’t know how comfortable you can be with all Read the rest of this entry…

This concept is almost too crazy to be real: a coffee mug which also serves as a mouse.

Of course, MugMouse it’s USB. But why do something as silly as that? I cannot imagine that you can easily select something with the MugMouse, especially when the mouse button is located on the bottom of the mug, therefore you have to push the mug against Read the rest of this entry…

Question: what do Hello Kitty and Darth Vader have in common?

It’s simple: many, many gadgets made after their appearance. It must be literally thousands and thousands of Hello Kitty and Darth Vader themed gadgets out there, Hello Kitty being the cute source of inspiration for gadgets for girls and Darth Vader, the darker source of inspiration for boys and big boys. Still, I present you another one: the Hello Kitty Read the rest of this entry…

The latest trend in geeky fashion for women is Day-For-Night – the dress made of small interconnected solar panels, which ensures that no matter how many gadgets you have in your purse, you can recharge them all with clean solar energy.

The Day-For-Night dress has 448 tiny white tiles, each of them having a solar cell, a RGB LED (photocell) and jumper connectors so they communicate to each other and function as a unit. Therefore each tile functions as an independent module allowing Read the rest of this entry…

Ironing boards are one of the ugliest things we have in our houses, which also take up a lot of space.

Not anymore: Aissa Logerot designed a revolutionary ironing board – Madame Est Servie – an ironing board that functions that has on the other side a large mirror. That’s great, because you can never have too many mirrors. Another great thing about this is that the mirror Read the rest of this entry…

For those who cannot benefit from the advantages of air conditioning, the fan is the best option available. But is there some way we could make our fan more efficient?

Apparently there is: a Ultra Frosty Fan Pack, three gel-filled packs you attach to your fan. The air is pushed through the ice-cold packs (you have to place in the freezer for several hours) which chill it, efficiently reducing the ambient temperature. That’s a low-cost Read the rest of this entry…

This idea is so clever and simple in the same time, that I don’t know why I haven’t seen this contraption before.

This RSVP Herb Scissors can be useful for those who are not very good with kitchen knifes, or prefer to use scissors. Having 5 pairs of very sharp stainless steel blades, the RSVP scissors snips through herbs 5 times faster. I don’t know if you really need this kind of gadget Read the rest of this entry…

I have to admit that the simple act of looking at this ring sends shivers down my spine.

I don’t know about you, but wearing a ring made of the ashes of a deceased person is not my way of having that person with me forever (I always thought that this expression shouldn’t be taken literally…). I always believed that our loved ones accompany us in spirit forever anyway Read the rest of this entry…

We present you oven of the future: a concept presented at the Electrolux “Cooking in the Futur” competition,  which uses three lasers to cook.

Of course this concept raises a lot of questions, all of them unanswered as I know of: how is the food supposed to taste? is it going to cook uniformly? is it healthy? is it energy-efficient? It certainly looks futuristic and out of a sci-fi movie. I don’t know, but it’s something Read the rest of this entry…
